Cha chaan tengs are Hong Kong’s beloved cafes where Cantonese and Western cuisine meet, and this modern example delivers the same trademark comfort food. Slide into a booth and tuck in to rice hidden under gooey scrambled egg flecked with shallots and slices of silky beef, with curried fish balls the perfect snack to order while you wait.

Must order: Decadent Hong Kong-style French toast, filled with peanut butter and dripping with condensed milk.
