Made it through the morning madness and Causeway crawl just in time for breakfast at Eco Botanic!

The gang decided on this Hong Kong Char Siew spot, partly because we were drawn in by its well-lit, eye-catching menu board. The menu cover was beautifully illustrated with glistening Hong Kong-style Char Siew and what made it stand out was the unique addition of salted egg yolk in the center.

Cement screed flooring, neon signboards, and foldable chairs and tables set the scene instantly bringing back memories of a classic Hong Kong eatery. Well, minus the cramped space, thankfully! And of course, the impatient service we all remember experiencing in Hong Kong made a cameo too.

A bowl of wonton soup came first, 10 pieces to share among the crew, just right for a cold day. The wontons were snug in their wrappers, showing off those plump, tasty fillings. Total comfort food!

While the others went for the wonton noodles, I decided to try their Braised Mushroom Chicken Feet. The braising sauce was mild, not too salty and quite clean-tasting. It was enjoyable, but if you're expecting those deep, intense flavors like in traditional Hokkien-style braised dishes, you might find this one a bit underwhelming.

Tried the Hot Spring Egg Wonton Mee with white sauce, springy HK noodles, silky egg, and a light, flavorful base. Simple, but really satisfying

A few in the group tried the Shrimp Wonton Noodles with mee pok, and of course, added on some Char Siew for good measure. It even came with two fried wontons, extra points for that!

To match the Hong Kong-style meal, I gave their Pineapple with 7-Up a go. Served with lemon and pineapple chunks, it was super refreshing and just the right balance of sweet and tangy.

We also tried the Char Siew with Scrambled Egg served in a Pineapple Bun, a playful twist on the classic Hong Kong-style sandwich. The fluffy scrambled egg paired surprisingly well with the sweet, crumbly top of the pineapple bun, while the savory Char Siew added a rich, smoky depth. Sweet, savory, and satisfying in every bite.

The Butter Kaya Toast was served as a long, paired set, crispy like a biscuit with a satisfying crunch. A simple yet nostalgic treat done right.

We also ordered their Salted Egg Char Siew (200g), which was suitable for sharing among 3–4 people.

The combination of salted egg and char siew was something new to us,an interesting twist but the overall taste didn’t quite deliver a wow factor.

It was nice discovering this spot in the mall. If you're ever craving Hong Kong-style cuisine, this place definitely fits the bill.
