[Hong Kong] Old-fashioned HK breakfast at China Cafe

  China Café is one of those old utilitarian “cha chaan teng” (teahouses) which serve sandwiches and simple rice or noodle dishes to the residents of the neighbourhood they are located in. 40 years old and counting, we stopped over at China Café enroute to Langham Place in Mongkok for a cuppa and some sustenance.

  Basically, these kind of restaurant, in their logo only contained traditional Chinese characters as it is an old utilitarian so the target may not be foreigners, however, in the modern time, the new utilitarians started to include English characters with traditional chinese characters to attract foreigners as Hong Kong "cha chaan teng" is really famous in Asia.


  This is the new style of "cha chaan teng", the interior design is more modern and the most important thing is in their logo they added English under the traditional chinese characters so that foreigners can also understand what it is.
