Thoughts: The first Kim Gary Restaurant in Malaysia opened in 武吉免登 Bukit Bintang's 金河廣場 Sungei Wang Plaza, Kuala Lumpur, in 1992. It was a pioneer of authentic 港式茶餐廳的先驅 Hong Kong-style cha chaan teng (tea restaurant) dining in the country, often characterized by long queues in its early years. Widely recognized as one of the first, if not the first, major chain to bring casual Hong Kong cafe culture to Malaysia. 

The original Location at Sungei Wang Plaza already closed down; but last check, the 港式茶餐廳 Hong Kong CharChan Teng style still have outlets in Sunway Pyramid, 1 Utama, Hartamas Shopping Centre, AEON Cheras Selation, The Curve, AEON Bukit Tinggi, and AEON Taman Maluri. As well as at least 2 outlets in Penang: Sunway Carnival Mall (Seberang Jaya), and another one in Gurney Drive.

Kim Gary Restaurant opened in Sunway Pyramid way before Cafes like "華陽 The Oriental" or "佐敦冰室 Jordan Hong Kong Restaurant"; As of October 2025, Kim Gary in Sunway Pyramid moved to a new location and its old address was previously situated at OB2-G-U3, Ground Floor, Oasis Boulevard 2 (a bit of a hidden spot in Sunway Pyramid). The restaurant has now relocated to LG1.98B, Lower Ground 1 Floor. 

Like many 港式茶餐廳 Hong Kong CharChan Teng, Kim Gary offers an extensive menu from 香港菠蘿包 Hong Kong Polo Bun, to XO醬炒飯 XO Sauce Fried Rice, 煎蛋午餐肉出前一丁 Nissin Soup Noodle with Fried Egg & Luncheon Meat, 幹炒牛肉義粉 Hong Kong style beef slice with pasta, a variety of 芝士焗飯 Cheese Baked rice, 咖哩魚蛋 Curry Fish Ball, 餐蛋治 Luncheon Meat Sandwich, and 精選西式"肉"排 a good choice of Western Steaks. 

Today's lunch is a rm$21.90 "雞扒 Chicken Chop" which comes with: 

無骨炸雞排配蘑菇醬 Boneless deep fried Chicken Chop with Mushroom Sauce 

沙拉 Salad 

薯條 Fries (換沙拉 replaced with more Salad) 

忌廉湯配麵包 Cream Soup with Bun

Although not sampled today, a must order here should be the 港式奶茶 Hong Kong style Milk Tea.

Thoughts: Unfortunately, Sunway Pyramid's "檀島香港茶餐廳 Honolulu Cafe",known for its Egg Tarts, Polo Bun, and Hong Kong Milk Tea; is now shut down "temporarily" (according to Google map) maybe succumbed to the stresses of Covid-19. But there are still at least 3 spots for a cup of 香港奶茶 Hong Kong Milk Tea inside Sunway Pyramids: 香港仔車仔麵 HK Boy Cart Noodle, 旺角茶餐廳 Wong Kok Char Chan Teng, as well as 香港金加利茶餐廳 Kim Gary. Sunway Pyramid's Kim Gary is located at the East Wing "Oasis Boulevard" where all the Porky, Gastropubs, or the Non-Halal corner of the Shipping Mall. Both 旺角茶餐廳 Wong Kok and 金加利茶餐廳 Kim Gary have at least 12 or more outlets mostly in the Klang Valley.

Instead of 香港奶茶 Hong Kong Milk Tea, it is the rm$5.90 "熱杏仁茶 Hot Almond Tea" as today is the debut of a series of Almond Tea in their new menu: offering in 4 variants of Almond Tea: 熱杏仁茶 Hot, 凍杏仁茶 Cold, with 熱咖啡杏仁茶 Hot Coffee, as well as 凍咖啡杏仁茶 Cold Coffee. I first tried the Almond Tea in Penang Island, which is a common hot beverage in any coffee shops (Chinese Kopitiam) in the Island, a cup of hot almond tea around Penang Island is around rm$1.80 - rm$2+, as an alternative to a cup of Kopi or Teh. Kim Gary's rm$5.90 Hot Almond Tea is thick and good flavor of Almond powder.

杏仁茶 Almond Tea isn't a new fad, as it dates back to the 18th Century of China during the reign of the 乾隆帝 Qianlong Emperor of the 清乾 Qing Dynasty. The records of "杏仁茶 Almond Tea" can be found in 隨園食單 Suiyuan Shidan (The Way of Eating), which is the works of a Qing Dynasty 學者 scholar and 美食家 gastronome by the name of 袁枚 Yuan Mei.

The Recipe:

Thick Almond Tea (1792)

From 隨園食單  Suiyan Shidan  

捶杏仁作漿，抆去渣，拌米粉，加糖熬之

Beat almonds (Apricot Kernel/Chinese Almond) to make pulp. Filter out the residue. Boil with "sticky" rice flour. Finish off with sugar.

This tea is still served in China, especially during the 寒食 "Hanshi" Cold Food Festival, which is a traditional Chinese holiday which developed from the commemoration of the death of a 一个春秋时期的晋国忠臣 Jin nobleman 介子推 Jie Zitui in the 7th century BC under the 周朝 Zhou dynasty, which is now the 寒食 "Hanshi" Cold Food Festival and also known as 清明節 Tomb-Sweeping Festival. 

杏仁核 Apricot kernels, also known as “中國杏仁 Chinese Almonds,” are considered a 藥用食品 medicinal food that comes in two types: 北苦 Northern Bitter and 南甜 Southern Sweet. Eating too many raw apricot kernels can cause cyanide poisoning, especially the bitter ones.

Legend has it that, there was a famous doctor 董奉 Dong Feng (220-280) who would ask his patients to pay him by planting an 杏樹 apricot tree. Over time he had an enormous 杏林 apricot tree forest which later become a 中國文化象徵 Chinese cultural symbol associated with physicians and hospitals. Apricot trees are now planted commercially around the world or in spacious home gardens for its fruit, longevity and its beauty; as 杏樹 Apricot are 多年生植物 perennials which can live from 40 to 150 years. Spring 杏花 Apricot blossoms are said to be as beautiful as 樱花 Cheery Blossoms or 梅花 Plum Blossoms.
