Oooo … glad you liked it Phil. For a vain pot like me, this kind of feedback makes my day. But really, you should also check out Jenny’s blog because if you like places like Corner 23, you will certainly like many of the restaurants she blogged about.

checked out Corner 23 upon your recommendation and definitely a fun place to eat…was there for lunch today and i thought their chicken nuggets was delish. The oyster omelet was so so, not something i would order again….the pork chop lunch i had was HUGE imo, i’d go back to this restaurant in a heartbeat, thanks for blogging about it!

I am so glad you liked it, because I certainly enjoyed it. However from the comments above, I guess the feeling isn’t all mutual.

I simply love the osyter pancake, but have never tried the Malaysian version, I will certainly try it next time.

Btw, love the new layout, it’s so pleasing to the eye!

My mom tells me that I’ve been to the restaurant in Taiwan that Corner 23 originated from, but I don’t remember. Oh well.

I tried this place shortly after it opened. The beef noodle soup was overpowered by the flavor of anise, and I didn’t like it at all. The pork hock is a guilty fav, and I nearly finished the oyster omelette by myself…haha.

Haven’t gone back for another visit since it’s not something close by, and the construction on Cambie recently is a big deterrent.

Had not heard of the acronyms HKSC and TBNH but BBT and AYCE have been on my radar for a long time. I think Corner 23 is so-so which is unfortunate because it’s my “neighbourhood” BBT place. I also keep trying to order noodles there and have been disappointed they don’t have the fat noodles – just thin egg noodles and broad rice noodles. I wish No. 1 Beef Noodle was my neighbourhood cafe!

I love bubble tea! My all time favourite is avocado milk tea from Pearl Fever. Most people typically shy away from it because it just “doesn’t sound right” but it is perfect for me!
