Copa Cafe used to be one of my favorite HK style cafes last year.  I love going for an afternoon snack.  My favorite choice would be the avocado shrimp croissant with a side fruit salad.  I haven’t gone since the beginning of summer so I was very excited when Rockia said that we should go visit it again.

There are two Copa locations.  We visited the South Cambie Street branch.  They have free parking in the back, but just be careful because it is a fairly tight spot.  It was around 4 in the afternoon but we still ordered two pretty big meals.  I ordered my usual avocado shrimp croissant and Rockia had the chicken steak with imitation crab white sauce on rice.

I absolutely loved this place last year, but unfortunately….good things don’t always last.  My avocado shrimp croissant was completely different than what I had last year!  There were hardly any avocado in it.  But!  There was more than enough salad dressing.  This made the entire meal very very sour.  I don’t know what kind of sauce they use it in, but they definitely put too much in.  Then, my croissant was completely burnt!  I couldn’t believe they still served it to me when the edges of the croissant were brown and black.  I had to pick out the edges so I didn’t eat the burnt parts.  Side note: burnt food is extremely bad for your health!

I had a hot almond drink with my meal.  I didn’t order my usual cold milk tea because I already had one that morning.  You also have to add a dollar to order cold drinks.

As for Rockia’s chicken steak, there weren’t enough sauce at all.  The picture shows only a thin layer of cream sauce over the chicken.  The veggies were pretty plain.  I wish they gave us more sauce to go with the boring veggies and rice.  Overall, the plate was too bland.  The two dishes added up to about 15 dollars + tips.  So disappointed with my experience this time.  Sad
