Hong Kong Tea Bar

I have been a fan of Hong Kong tea bar since it opened. It’s modest interior is fully reminiscent of the kind of cafes you find in Asia.
The food is very tasty — excellent value for money and the fact that the place is always full — is testimony to it’s popularity.
They do great budget meals such as curry and rice or chicken chow mein for only 3.50. But my favourites are the noodle dishes.
For 6.50 — order a dish with crispy noodles for a mouthwatering extravaganza to the taste buds. I am vegetarian so I always ask for tofu and Chinese vegetables in garlic sauce with crispy noodles — it’s not on the menu but they can create it.
Befor I went veggie a few years ago I used to order the seafood dish with crispy noodles — so tasty — so authentic — and there’s lots of it on the plate. I also recommend Fookin Fried Rice — I dare you order it without giggling and their ho fun — (flat rice noodle) dishes with char sui or belly pork if you like a bit of meat.
They are open from 11am till 8pm and are very buisy at luch times — the best time to go is tea time after the shops have shut.
The staff that work their are just adorable — although very busy — so don’t be offended if they are multi tasking while taking your order, answering the phone — and barking out orders in Cantonese to their colleagues all at the same time.
If you haven’t been there — go and try it — order crispy noodles with your favourite meat or vegetables, marvel at the speed of the cooking and then come back for more next week!
