One of the best things about Hong Kong is the cha chaan tengs – cha siu rice and milk tea, anyone? We\u2019ve all had drunk food at Tsui Wah before, but if you want to experience true local culture, these are the places to be. We recommend bringing a Cantonese-speaking friend along, since some of these places aren\u2019t gwailo-friendly!<\/p>\n

Lung Fung Cafe – Wanchai<\/a>, Tin Hau<\/a>, Tai Hang<\/a> \u00a0(\u9f8d\u9cf3\u51b0\u5ba4)<\/b><\/p>\n

At Lung Fung Cafe, you can\u2019t go wrong with their scrambled eggs. You may wonder why cha chaan tengs are so famous for scrambled eggs, but there\u2019s just something spectacular about them. If you still have room for dessert, check out their version of baked alaska!<\/p>\n

\"swisscafe\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Swiss Cafe- Wanchai, Fortress Hill<\/a> (\u745e\u58eb\u5496\u5561\u5ba4)<\/b><\/p>\n

Swiss Cafe has several chains located on Hong Kong Island – if you\u2019re feeling nostalgic, we recommend the one in Wanchai, but if you feel like jamming to Jay Chou and Eason Chan hits, we recommend the newly opened branch in Fortress Hill. Whichever one you choose, don\u2019t forget to order their soy-sauce chicken wings and noodles. P.S. Their french toast is the bomb.<\/p>\n

Address:\u00a0Shop B, 1\/F, Ming Fung Buliding, 128-150 Wanchai Road, Wan Chai<\/p>\n

Address:\u00a0G\/F, 125-133 King’s Road, Fortress Hill, North Point<\/p>\n

\"saiyungkee\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sai Yung Kee – Sheung Wan<\/a> (\u7d30\u84c9\u8a18)<\/b><\/p>\n

Some people have the misconception that cha chaan tengs are dirty and crowded, but at Sai Yung Kee, guests can sit comfortably and take their time eating without being chased out. Sai Yung Kee has all your favourite rice and noodles, but you can\u2019t go wrong with their wonton noodles or pork knuckle rice.<\/p>\n

Address:<\/strong>\u00a0G\/F, No.129 Bonham Strand, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong<\/p>\n

\"wahsingcafe\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Capital Cafe – Wanchai (\u83ef\u661f\u51b0\u5ba4)<\/b><\/p>\n

Feeling nostalgic? Bask in the old Hong Kong ambience at Capital Cafe in Wanchai. Their menu clearly states that their bestselling items are scrambled eggs and milk tea, but feel free to be adventurous and order their other dishes, such as their black truffle scrambled egg toast!<\/p>\n

Address:<\/strong>\u00a06 Heard St, Wanchai<\/p>\n

\"hongkongcanteen\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hong Kong Canteen – North Point<\/a> (\u9999\u6e2f\u98ef\u5802)<\/b><\/p>\n

Located next to the Michelin-starred restaurant Tim Ho Wan, Hong Kong, Hong Kong Canteen is the definition of east meets west – similar to their food, their decor has hints of western influence, but also includes distinctive local features, such as a Hong Kong tram wall. The cha chaan teng also includes a local bakery section, so feel free to get some pineapple and cocktail buns as takeout!<\/p>\n
