An icon of the city, serving up simple, hearty eats, Cha Chaan Teng continues to stand as an iconic embodiment of the city’s unique cultural fusion and a testament to the culinary dynamism of the city.

Have you ever tried the “dancing wave” hand signal to catch a cross-harbour taxi🫳🏻 🌊?
It is a secret trick that not even all Hong Kongers know. Simply flatten your right hand and move it in a wave-like motion—just like a boat floating on the sea. This signals taxi drivers that you’re crossing the harbour, making it easier for the right taxi to find you. Trust me, with this trick, you’ll never face rejection from a taxi driver again.

A charming spot in the heart of the city, a sanctuary for you to escape from the monotony of routine while indulging in the simple pleasures of life.
Escape the hustle and bustle, fuel up on a refreshing take on beloved Cha Chaan Teng favourites while you enjoy a much-needed break.
香港嘅食物最有特色係佢完全體驗到香港人嘅速度💨，即使出品快都可以非常出色🏆。
這次@evelynchoii帶大家快閃灣仔區，試吓香港唔同類型嘅「速食」文化!
🩷炒滑蛋呢樣野，本身就係出自西方嘅scrambled egg，其後慢慢平文化，炒蛋便愈來愈受港人歡迎。位於大坑順興嘅滑蛋飯真係非一般好味，蛋漿快速「炒兩炒」搭配埋蝦、叉燒、豬扒，甚至係夾入菠蘿包都一樣出色。當然唔少得嘅就係秘製甜豉油，撈飯一流！順興除了一般鋪面外，後巷仲有幾個帳篷，任何天氣都阻擋唔到出面大排長龍。🚶🏻🚶🏻♀️🚶🏻♂️
🩷香港人鍾意食燒賣食到要有關注組，呢樣野已經好非比尋常😅！無論係便利店、涼茶鋪，都會見到燒賣嘅蹤影。行過路過拮一串又可以抵肚餓，搭配特製的沙爹咖喱辣油，正👍🏻
🩷法國攝影師Henri Cartier-Bresson推崇的「決定性瞬間」（The decisive moment），為攝影界金石良言！打邊爐黎講，時間嘅掌握都十分重要⏱️！響鈴最佳享用時間係3秒、肥牛係13秒。而香港人係打邊爐上嘅multi-tasking更已經推到極致，可以飲湯又可以打邊爐，有啲仲可以食埋雞煲。老闆仲特別訂造1:1人手製作嘅戲棚花牌，真係忍唔住要打個卡。
