“Tsui Wah Restaurant (翠華餐廳) serves great Hong Kong-style Local Food”
Tsui Wah Restaurant, a renowned local-style cafe in Hong Kong, was famous for its chain of Hong Kong Cha Chan Ting (茶餐厅). With outlets across the island, we frequented the ones at Wellington Street, Central, and Causeway Bay for convenience.
One dish I particularly enjoyed was the soft-boned pork meat noodles – a simple yet delicious delight. The pork was incredibly tender, boasting a melt-in-the-mouth texture. Yummy!
Beyond this, Tsui Wah’s extensive menu impressed us, offering a variety from local delicacies to globally renowned dishes, including (Singaporean’s) Hainanese chicken rice, Italian pasta, and other Western meals. Notably, the prices remained affordable, even at their prime locations.
Delving into the famous handmade fish balls with flat rice noodles (Kway Teow), the silky smooth texture of the noodles stood out on the palate. Unlike the bouncy fish balls common in Singapore, the Hong Kong-style fish balls were denser in texture, yet the size was quite appealing. Overall, the taste was decent and enjoyable.
Certainly, the soft-boned pork bun is a must-try! With a generous portion, sharing is advisable if you can’t devour the entire bun solo.
Of course, the iced coffee mixed with tea (冻鸳鸯) had to be on the drinks list – a classic choice!
In cold weather, my top pick is always a hot drink, and the silken milk tea is my go-to. Its thick and smooth consistency is perfect for soothing my throat and warming my body – just a comforting cuppa!

Sharing a table with strangers is unavoidable, if you are not ready to do so, steer clear of lunch and tea time.
