I’ve been to Cooking Papa several times now, and I’ve always been impressed. The food is of consistently high quality, and the service is warm and attentive. Overall, I’d happily give them a strong recommendation. I do hope more people will come to appreciate the care and effort they put into their food.

Tried this place for the first time and ordered the pork chop with white curry and rice, tom yum soup noodles with chicken and prawns, garlic butter fried chicken wings, and iced lemon tea. The portion sizes for both mains were generous and very reasonably priced. The white curry was rich and fragrant without being too spicy, and the pork chop was tender and flavourful. The tom yum soup noodles were also tasty, made with chicken thigh meat that was tender and juicy. The soup had a nice depth of flavour—personally, I wouldn’t mind if it were a bit spicier. The highlight for me was definitely the garlic butter fried chicken wings—crispy, packed with flavour, and moreish. I would have happily ordered another plate if I wasn’t already so full. The iced lemon tea also had that classic Hong Kong-style taste, which was a lovely touch. While we were there, the owner happened to be filming an interview but still came over to apologise for the slight wait and even offered us free drinks—really excellent service. There are around eight free parking spaces right outside the entrance. On weekdays, you can park for up to two hours, which is more than enough time for a relaxed meal. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys Hong Kong and Southeast Asian cuisine.

This time, seven adults and six children went out for a big feast. The garlic chicken wings, Pad Thai, white curry pork chop rice, and green curry pork chop rice were all incredibly delicious. The tom yum soup was also very authentic. All 13 of us thoroughly enjoyed the food. Thank you to the owner for the wonderful hospitality!

We absolutely love their food! The flavour of the lemongrass pork chop is amazing, and the portion is really generous. Adding a drink for just 2 is such a great deal—especially on a hot day. If there were a bit more sauce with the rice, it would be perfect. Although we don’t live nearby, we recommend this place to our friends.

You can find really good Asian food here. I’ve been here a few times, and it always reminds me of home (Hong Kong). Always visit before go to the airport. The HK-style milk tea is a must, try it, you’ll love it!
