My go to place if I can’t decide what I want to eat. Cafe de coral has a big variety to choose from. I’ve been several times for lunch , afternoon tea and dinner. Love their French toast tea sets. Their milk tea is pretty good. Their baked pork chop rice for dinner is very big. Easy tap and order from their self service kiosk with your octopus card.
