Cha Chaan Tengs (茶餐廳) are Chinese diners commonly found in Hong Kong providing a menu with various fusions of scrumptious Hong Kong and Hong Kong-style Western cuisine, and their incredible efficiency - Where else can you have your meal order be at the table within 15 minutes? Waiters there have developed and incorporated a system of symbols so dishes can reach hungry customers’ plates at a faster rate.
Ever wondered what was behind all those symbols on your paper bill?
A list of the top rated Cha Chaan Teng or Tea Restaurants are available on Hong Kong’s most famous online dining guide, Open Rice:
*Note that their lists also include bing sut (冰室), literally defined as “ice chamber”, which provide a narrower selection of food. For Ex. the Australia Dairy Co. (澳洲牛奶公司) is best known for its scramble-egg sandwiches and spaghetti in soup. Also, we would personally recommend the pineapple buns with butter (菠蘿油) at the Kam Wah Tea Restaurant (金華冰廳) in Prince Edward as they are almost always fresh out-of-the-oven, with just the right tenacity and crispness.
