Who would have expected R. Yosef Kafah, the modern Yemenite scholar with very strong Maimonidean beliefs, to quote approvingly a typical Hungarian scholar? Yet he does so and, to the best of my knowledge, only once. In his Collected Writings, vol. 3 p. 1427, R. Kafah cites approvingly an halakhic ruling of the Hungarian-American scholar R. Moshe Stern, the Debreczyner Rav.
As a bonus, I'll include a link to an English translation of R. Kafah's introduction to his translation of Mishneh Torah.
