A bustling, cramped, and beloved Chinatown canteen serving a massive menu of Hong Kong and Malaysian street food hits to late-night crowds and solo diners.
Ordering Strategy
Ideal for solo dining or casual groups. Focus on the 'Tai Pai Tong' hawker dishes and Hong Kong Western-style comfort food rather than generic stir-fries.
What to order
Macau-style Baked Pork Chop Rice
Described as a 'must' for the 'ultimate Cha Chaan Teng experience,' this dish is a hallmark of their Hong Kong Western-influenced menu.
Beef Brisket Lo Mein
A hearty staple of their 'Tai Pai Tong' specials, this dish is recommended for a quick, casual, and filling meal.
Wontons in Chilli Oil
Praised by Eater for 'long elephant ear flaps' that 'soak up' the chilli oil 'marvellously' when ordered as a starter.
Hong Kong Milk Tea
An essential part of the authentic 'Cha Chaan Teng' experience, served alongside their famous hawker-style dishes.

Good to know
It's a small space that stays open late, making it a go-to for post-drink sustenance. The menu is enormous, so stick to the recommended classics.
