Tantalisingly delicious smells, more to Sonia Coffee than just coffee

Be prepared to be enticed by the tantalisingly delicious smells coming from this cafe. It's almost always full during mealtimes. Even during the in between times before lunch or dinner there's a constant stream of customers. There's a 60 min seating time, meals need to be finished within 60 mins. It's a quaint cafe with only a few tables so queues can build up. My family were definitely lured in by the delicious smells emanating from here. Managed to snag a table at around 3+ pm (and there was still a 5 min short wait for a table). The Sonia's all day breakfast did not disappoint. Packed with so much food that was almost bursting over the plate, everything on it was scrumptious. The croissant was rich, buttery and flaky, ticking all the boxes for a good croissant. Salad and it's dressing just nice to balance out the meal. Hidden under the salad and bacon was a juicy, tender, teriyaki chicken. The scrambled eggs were done nicely and my kids loved the tamago and smoked salmon. A winning dish, for sure. The mentaiko shrimp tomato cream pasta however, won over the entire family. Flavourful, creamy tomato based pasta that tickled all the right taste buds. A beautiful balance of sweet, sour and savoury, the portions were good enough for us all to steal huge helpings from my husband. Their signature pudding came in a cute, tiny, elevated dish and was creamy, custardy and melt in your mouth good. This meal was so good we stopped by for takeaway the next day (ready in 10 mins!) on the way back to the Royal plaza hotel. A good deal cos they had 25% off on their takeaway menu. I definitely vouch for the tomato based pastas- Mentaiko shrimp and kissaten napolitan(1 is seafood & the other sausages + tomato). The garlic butter scallop pasta was a bit of a miss for us. Couldn't match the creamy tomato based pastas. 📍 Location: M52, Moko Mall (walking distance from Mongkok East MTR) 💰 50-100 HKD/pax #moko #soniacoffee #pasta #japanesecafe #mongkokeats
