Hong Kong Station Cafe is the latest HK cafe in what seems like the growing popularity of Hongkie cha chaan teng trend. For the month of June 26, they are offering 12% off! The number 12 maybe holding a special significance to the Cafe but it is certainly helping to draw crowds to this place even though it is freezing outside in the Melbourne winter.
The cafe is a sister restaurant of Ocean King Restaurant in Glen Waverley, though we did not know it at the time of our visit. Now it makes sense why they were also offering select yum cha dishes such as fried beancurd roll, radish cake, and duck meat vermicelli soup.
We ordered a set meal of pork strips, pickled vege with flat rice noodles in broth. It came with a choice of drink and Gaz picked HK milk tea. There was a whole container of sugar on each table which is a bad temptation for sweet tooths! 
I ordered the dry fried flat rice noodles with beef. There were plenty of beef slices in the dish and they have not been tenderise with bicarbonate soda. I actually like it like that, because I think bicarbonate soda is an ingredient qe don't need to consume unnecessarily.
The fried noodles have a smoky smell but my only gripe is, it is a smaller portion than expected which makes it a bit pricey without discount. Likewise, the milk tea also came in a small, metal cup.
The restaurant was fully packed on the weekend as I'm sure it would be this weekend. Put on an extra thick jacket and be prepared to wait outside in line to get a seat while the promo period lasts!
