1. Order the mango pomelo sago — the HK-style dessert signature.
2. Bring a portable water bowl — staff do not supply one.
3. Visit on a weekday evening — quieter, with more room for a small or medium dog.
4. Carry AFCD e-licence — the venue is on the FEHD register.
5. Avoid Cap 167D breeds — the FEHD permit does not override the parent ordinance.
6. Pick the corner bench — quieter for a small or medium dog.
7. Bring a mat — the bench is metal-framed.
8. Use the MOSTOWN podium for a relief walk before/after dining.

OpenRice 3.0/5 across 21 reviews (small-sample caution applies); reviewers consistently note the HK-style sweet tooth and Below $50 price band. The venue is registered under the FEHD dog-friendly food premises permit with Cap 167D enforcement. MOSTOWN common areas require carrier-or-leash confirmation on arrival, narrowing the practical configuration to small or medium dogs on a short lead.
