oops ah-gung, no pics but boxes with cross again!

anyway, i don't usually recommend off-time. all their pasta taste almost the same. potato skin takes ages to come to your table. shrimps in the salad is near tasteless. expresso is even less aromatic than normal coffee elsewhere. afternoon-tea could be okay if you avoid coffee.

Actually, I quite like this place, even though it's very slow and empty most of the time.

They serve some very tasty, colorful, prettily arranged salads, 10 types of coffee at around $12, some interesting drinks, plus a really tasty and BIG pork chop/tomato rice. Lamma-Poh's favourite, enough to share!

The have a HUGE all-day English/American-style breakfast with at least 10 different breakfast items, for only $45.
I plan to test this some day, probably more than enough food till dinner!

Their former all-day opening hours have become very irregular and there are rumours that it might close soon. It would be a loss...

Their menu is designed in PowerPoint, pretty extensive at something like 10 pages, quite cheerful, but they put it into (webdog will love this!) THE DOG-themed menu folders! It looks so odd and out of place that I had to take a picture of it!

Has Offtime Cafe finally closed down permanently?

It has been closed for several days now, but no notice on the iron grill.
Another victim of the weak economy?

Anybody know more details?

I haven't got a chance to see their doggy menu yet! Poor me. They might be the first restaurant to be taken off our bar and restaurant rating page. How sad!

Actually, the second restaurant to be deleted from our guide.

While you were away in snowy, icy Europe for so long, Holiday Mood also closed down, looking for a new tenant (see last e-zine).

While you were away, the local restaurants missed you as one of their very best, most generous guests and most frequent patrons, forcing two of them to close because of this!
Please never leave for so long again, webdog!

Webdog - Being a dog as you are I would stay away from the Spicey as you may end up on the Menu. Or worse still become part of the XXXX harem.

Closed and sold to a new owner already, for the incredibly low sum of $60,000, it is rumoured.
An anonymous, but reliable inside source said that the reason for the low price was that the owner was in a great hurry to get the cash before CNY...

No announcement yet, when and in what cuisine style it will be reopened.
