You can’t walk very far without encountering another Cha Chaan Teng in Hong Kong. Its unique mix of Canton cuisine and western food and light speed pace has made it the most iconic place/style that represent Hong Kong culture. While the city is filled up with countless number of CCT, we have shortlisted 8 Cha Chaan Teng with great food and style for you. Check it out.
- Australia Dairy Company
The legendary, notorious Cha Chaan Teng we love and hate at the same time for its great food and the strongest attitude. Famous for its scrambled egg and steamed milk pudding, the eatery is often queued up, and customers are expected to order and eat at light speed, which is unquestionably a super local experience
- Lan Fong Yuen
A old school Cha Chaan Teng originated from a street stall founded in 1952, Lan Fong Yuen were among the first eateries to make “stocking milk tea”- tea that is filtered by a cloth pocket. Their triple-filtered milk tea has always been the icon of CCT-style milk tea.
- Mido Cafe
Actually a two-storey “Chaan Sutt”, a hybrid of Cha Chaan Teng and its precursor Bing Sutt (冰室). At Mido, you can have a retro afternoon tea experience at the corner of the Temple Street. What’s better than enjoying a classic set of Pineapple bun with butter and iced tea to the vintage décor from the 1950s.
- Wai Kee
Founded in the 50s in the humble yet vibrant neighborhood of Sham Shui Po, this local no-frills serves old school Kaya (coconut jam) French toast besides its signature pork liver noodles. Nothing “French” though, but 100% local. - Hoi On Café
One of the oldest bing sutts (冰室) in Hong Kong that served mainly seamen before Sheung Wan’s land reclamation made the eatery inland. The Scrambled Egg with Corned Beef and Spring Onion on Toast (香蔥碎牛滑蛋厚多士) and Iced Milk with Sweetened Red Bean are some very fine, nostalgic CCT combination.
- Kam Wah Café
Awarded the titles of “best Cha Chaan Teng 2011” and “Best Restaurant in Mong Kok 2012-2014”, this family-owned CCT wins the heart of folks with their pineapple bun. Warm pillowy sweet bread topped with yellow crispy crumble, and served with a wad of ice cold salted butter sandwiched in the middle. The warm & cold, soft & crispy, sweet & savory contrasts will bring the most heavenly experience. - Capital Café
The Café is set to pay tribute to the splendid years of Capital Artists Music Limited, a prominent record company in the 1970s-80s. Food wise, the its scrambled eggs and milk tea can compare to that of Australia Dairy Company. The Devil Submarine is another signature with a twist: hotdog with wasabi mayonnaise.
- Sun Heung Yuen (Kin Kee)
For more than 50 years, the locals come back to this old school no-frills’ every day for its egg and beef sandwich. Fluffy, smooth, and moist scrambled eggs and juicy, savory beef sandwiched in crispy toasted bread. It’s a tasty treat you can get anytime at this no-frills that runs 24/7.
