, a new Hong Kong-style cafe in Manhattan’s Chinatown that insists it’s still in its soft opening. That hasn’t stopped New Yorkers from getting in line. By 11 a.m. on Thursday, a half-dozen people stood outside of the restaurant, turning over menus the size of travel brochures with pictures of pineapple bun breakfast sandwiches, spaghetti bakes with pork, salted egg yolk toasts, and pork chop croissants.
Clockwise from top: The stairs leading down from Doyers Street; the dining room at Mabu Cafe; and the bathroom, located behind a refrigerator door. The restaurant is an ode to Hong Kong’s cha chaan tengs, casual diners where set meals and sugar reign supreme. The massive menu advertises more than 80 items, not including drinks. While versions of lava toast and baked spaghetti can be found at other Hong Kong-style cafes in the city, none serve them in as wide a selection with as many twists as Mabu Cafe.
Clockwise from upper left: Cheung fun; pork bone hot pot and baked bolognese french fries; and a pineapple bun breakfast sandwich.
