Welcome to Sammi 森記

“ Located near Donlands Station, Sammi offers authentic Hong Kong bistro cuisine that satisfies the craving for breakfast and a taste of Hong Kong. We would come back if we were ever in the area again, as their Hong Kong Milk Tea was truly delicious! The restaurant's menu is straightforward, featuring a variety of categories that include Hong Kong Style Noodle Soup sets, Classic Breakfast sets, Weekend rice, comfort food, and beverages. Notably, both hot and iced drinks are priced the same when ordering with the sets, which is a refreshing change compared to other restaurants that usually charge a tad more for cold beverages. During our visit, we ordered from the weekend brunch menu, opting for Set B, which included Satay Beef Noodles served with toast and eggs, allowing for a choice between sunny-side or scrambled. The Satay Beef was seasoned exactly like we imagined it, along with the well-scrambled egg. Also, we tried the Classic Breakfast, which is a safe yet satisfying option for those unfamiliar with the Hong Kong-style breakfast. The meal featured a warm croissant, nicely fried bacon, sausage and ham, typical baked beans, and a refreshing salad that served as a palate cleanser. One of the highlights of Sammi is undoubtedly its Iced Hong Kong Milk Tea which was one of the best we have had. The rich and creamy beverage perfectly pairs with the bistro-style dishes, making it a must-try for visitors. The space at Sammi is relatively small, accommodating about four to five tables with four-seat options and two tables with two-seat options, which may lead to some wait times during peak hours. However, the service is efficient and smooth, with staff using mobile devices to take orders. The staff are friendly and appear to cater well to families, providing kid-friendly dishware and having books on a shelf that enhance the dining experience. ”

“ Follow @bredgyeats for more food photos! Despite sitting French Toast not being takeout food, I still thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The bread still retains some of its crispness, along with a fluffy and chewy interior that is stuffed with a savory peanut butter filling that contrasts with the sweet maple syrup and a knob of butter on top. I'm going out of order, but the savory dish has my preferred egg fried rice base, soaked in a sweet and tangy tomato sauce. Then, the porkchop and cheese go on top, which is baked for an attractive browned appearance of the mozzarella, melting it for that characteristic chewiness. ”

“ Cute spot for what my friend tells me is an authentic Hong Kong style breakfast. The noodles with beef (Plan B) were simple but yummy, the eggs and toast were perfect and the fish ball and siu mai skewers were a nice addition. And the meal with my choice of hot milk tea was well priced. A perfect Sunday breakfast on a snowy day. ”
