cheap food/ cheap large leo !

I ate daily, sometimes more often, while down there for two weeks last month, the quality/quantity remain good (unlike the Ling down the road) and their budget-options for breakfast were also a bargain  ...  which is why it was full at-the-front most mornings !

The solid portion of bubble-and-squeak, with 3-eggs fried/scrambled on top, for 59B (I think) is particularly recommended,  Oh well  ...  back to the keto-diet now !  

And must say a positive word about the serving-staff, usually busy but always friendly, hence earning a tip every time.

Robin really knows how to put bums on seats, just wondering how long until he sells the place.

I’d refuse to eat there on principle purely because of the apostrophe.

I like apostrophe when served with ice cream

I saw a video you on YouTube by "Pattaya Joe", it's in the process of being converted into a bar, will be called The Sports Lounge.

I think you/he mean the Chunky Monkey, not the Hungry Hippo, don't you ? 

[steveschumi]

Thanks for the recommendation! Will keep it in mind

You're right, I looked back at the location, he said it was the Hungry Hippo.

What was the original asking price?

[stevebenaulim]

Robin the owner must be desperate to sell...

8.5 million I believe. Now down to 4.9.

I usually had my breakfast there plus occasional lunch when I was in Patts in December, good food. I recall the owner interviewing service staff on a couple of occasions, he was also complaining about other places poaching his staff once they were trained up. Staff worked hard and were conscientious.

He also mentioned the mess staff had to clear up after drunks from Tree Town came over in the evening using their toilet facilities.

I would not like to be running a business there, too much hassle.

[Illinoischicago]

Yes, I've been to this place a number of times and have never been disappointed.  My tacos once had too much chicken!  Good problem!

Went in yesterday for my Big Breakfast..never disappoints.

[ROCKFORD1]

Went in this morning for breakfast, it was ok. But what annoyed me was the waitress constantly hovering over us trying to empty the table whilst we were still eating.

I've eaten at HH a couple of times this latest visit, the quality/quantity remain acceptable, but the prices seem to have risen somewhat, so it's no-longer the regular choice it used to be for me.

Of course it's post-Covid now, and arguably high-season, but even so  ...  🤨

[stevebenaulim]

Is Robin still the owner at HH?

[az89]

yes
