Cha Chaan Teng is an unique type of restaurant you can find in HK. It serves foods from both East and West, such as wok-fried dishes, steak, fish and chips, Thai / Malaysia / Japanese cuisines etc.
The distinguishing feature of Cha Chaan Teng is the foods being served there do not mimic foods from its origin, but are enriched to tailor “Hong Kong Style”.
HK Style Milk Tea and Egg Tart are the most popular gourmet in the menu of Cha Chaan Teng.
HK Style Milk Tea and Egg Tart are good examples showing how Western Food evolved to ‘Hong Kong Style’, which reflected the amalgamation and creativity of Hongkongers.
