Tsui Wah - My fave cha chan teng

Tsui Wah is a popular cha chan teng chain in Hong Kong, and also one of my all-time favourites. The best thing about it is that several branches are open 24 hours, so you never have to worry about going hungry.

If you get lost in the rather extensive menu, find your bearings from their Top 10 Recommendations list and you should be quite safe. Here are some dishes I've tried:

Hainanese chicken rice. Very fragrant rice but the chicken meat tends to be a bit tough. The soup is always yummy though!

Fish balls and sliced fish cakes with rice noodle in fish soup, otherwise known as 鱼蛋粉. One of their most popular dishes.

Pork cartilage with instant noodles.

My favourite - 奶油猪! This crispy bun with sweet condensed milk is absolutely divine.

Malaysian beef stew curry with rice. Thick and delicious.

I don't usually like mutton or lamb because of the 骚味, but Tsui Wah's lamb curry is one of the rare lamb dishes I actually enjoy.

 

 

I love Tsui Wah, I really do! :)
