No trip to Hong Kong is complete without a meal at cha chaan teng, a basic food stall selling everything from milk tea to noodles to toast. Tsui Wah is the king of the clan. This most successful Hong Kong cafe chain serves yummy, quick and iconic bites in a traveler-friendly environment. All waiters bear name badges listing the languages they speak so non-Cantonese speakers can order with confidence. The food here is an eye-opening mix of Asian and European cuisines. Chinese buns are fried then topped with cream and peanut better, instant noodles are fried with chicken wings and macaroni served with luncheon meat. They sound weird but taste wonderful. The absolute must-orders are the silky milk tea and rice noodles in fish soup covered with fish balls and fish cakes.
