Baby Cafe Express – Novo Marketplace

Baby Cafe Express serves Hong Kong-style café food inside Novo Marketplace on Brighton Avenue. Baked pork chop with tomato sauce comes over rice or spaghetti, while Hainan chicken rice and beef stew rice offer other ways to make a full meal. The mix of rice plates, pasta and toast is part of the appeal here, especially if you’re looking for something different from the food hall’s noodle and dumpling counters.

Smaller choices include popcorn chicken, butter toast and kaya toast. A Spam-and-egg sandwich is another café staple on the menu. This listing is for the Express counter inside Novo, where seating is shared with other vendors. Look for the Baby Cafe name within the marketplace rather than expecting a separate restaurant entrance on the street.
