Hong Kong’s cha chaan tengs have a language all their own. At any given time of the day, you might find one of these fast-paced diners packed with a cross-section of Hong Kong society — businesspeople on a break, lovers on a date, students just after school, retirees reading a paper.

Pull up a chair and learn how to navigate the menu and the restaurant like a local. We’ll invite you to try out some of the colourful shorthand when you order, and observe how speed, efficiency, and brusque good-humour keep everything running smoothly.

Immerse yourself in this culinary and cultural adventure, and gain a deeper understanding of the dining culture that keeps the city running!
