Among large and small restaurants in Hong Kong, a meal in a cha chaan teng is a truly iconic food experience.  Commonly found in Hong Kong, Macau, parts of China and even major Chinese communities in Western countries, cha chaan teng has become a symbol of Hong Kong culture.  It is known for eclectic and affordable menus for the local working class and has become one of the most flourishing businesses in the local food industry.

Cha chaan teng at peak hours is probably the most vibrant and busy occasion in Hong Kong with waiters busy taking orders and kitchen staff deftly serving meals.  All for one thing – to clear long lines outside waiting for seats or takeout.  The big menu offers great flexibilities for customers to mix and match any food items to become combo food or mid-afternoon tea set.  Known for their bustling atmosphere, speed and the general non-fussiness appreciated by cha chaan teng lovers, these charming cafes will remain an integral part of Hong Kong life.
