Stick & Steam

My go-to Hong Kong café in Millbrae is usually Orchid Café, but this new spot popped up on my IG, so I decided to give it a try. I’d say this café is definitely comparable to Orchid Café! We ordered the pineapple bun, baked cutlet rice, and Typhoon shrimp fried rice. The pineapple bun was excellent — soft and bouncy inside with a buttery, flaky crust. It paired really well with their Hong Kong milk tea. However, the milk tea was a bit too sweet and slightly watery for my taste. I prefer a stronger tea flavor with a silkier texture. The baked cutlet rice with curry sauce was flavorful and comforting, but the cutlet crust was a little soggy. If it had been crispy, it would have been perfect. The Typhoon shrimp fried rice was really good — very aromatic, topped with crunchy Typhoon-style garl

First time visit dine in. Previously I had to go order. There are plenty item on the menu. I am craving for wonton noodle soup and hainam chicken rice and my friend suggested to have them here. Illegal order hainam chicken rice with scallion sauce, shrimp wonton noodle soup, drink, wasabi shrimp toast and salty egg fries. They are ok. The wonton is good but the noodle is a bit bland. The soup is light and ok. The hainam chicken rice is ok. I like the scallion sauce. It comes with dipping sauce and it is interesting. Overall they are ok. I don't like on suggested min 18% granularity where there is no much service at all.

I was feeling under the weather and was craving for some comforting food. Saw that this place serve Hainanese chicken noodle. Saw a review that the Hainanese chicken served here is the closest to Singapore style chicken rice so I decided to try it. I did not order chicken rice as I was craving for soupy stuff. I ordered the Hainanese chicken noodle. Judging from the chicken, the ginger and chilli, I would say that it is true. It is a taste that reminds me of home. The soup is also not overly salty so it is the perfect comfort food when you need one. We also tried their beef and shrimp wonton noodle and it is also excellent. The wonton skin is soft and the filling is a lot. Beef is also tender. I will certainly come back again

Came here for lunch on Lunar New Year's because we were in Millbrae. The Dim Sum was all very good, as was the lava egg buns and the Chinese broccoli was steamed to perfection. We were very pleased that we got a table for three right away and even more pleased by the fast service.

Pretty solid spot! An easy fix for some dim sum or Hainan Chicken. Overall a bit more on the modern/fusion side in terms of the food and style and if that's what you're looking for then perfect! Cute spot and I was really intrigued by the salted egg yolk fries. Worth it, and I became a huge fan of their fries. Definitely my favorite thing out of the stuff we ordered, with the chicken coming in second. Both very flavorful. The pork belly probably wouldn't order again though. A tad on the dryer side but still good.
