When directly translated, Cha Chan Tang means “Tea Restaurant.” It is a form of fusion cuisine where Western cuisine is served with a Hong Kong twist at very affordable prices. The Cha Chan Tang in some ways represents the responsiveness and ingenuity of Hong Kongers as they embrace cultural differences and apply it to their daily lives. If you want to grab a taste of Hong Kong, look no further. The Cha Chan Tang is the place to go!
Poon Choi is a complex traditional Hong Kong dish consisting of a variety of meats, seafood and vegetables. Poon Choi originated from the walled villages of the New Territories and the trend had very rapidly spread to the city as well. At it’s peak, Poon Choi was served all over China!
Street food in Hong Kong is very different to the Hot Dog stands at home. Hong Kong has a immensely diverse selection of street food from octopus tentacles to flavored egg waffles to bubble tea. These snacks and beverages are either sold by hawkers, market stands or shops, and you’re almost guaranteed to have what you want in your hand in a matter of minutes!
Tong Sui refers to any kind of sweet soup that is served in Cantonese cuisine as a dessert. As such you will likely have trouble ordering Tong Sui in non-Cantonese Chinese Restaurants.
