Experience comforting flavours of Thailand, Singapore, and Vietnam at Chao. This Southeast Asian joint is nestled in Kwun Tong and offers nearby office workers (or those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong Island) with a lush, laid-back dining experience. Begin with starters like raw shrimp sashimi topped with garlic and chilli or grilled pork neck with housemade tamarind sauce, then move on to fragrant curries such as pad poo phong kari – fried soft-shell crab in yellow curry – or Vietnamese-style coconut beef brisket curry. Don’t miss sharing options such as Mama Jeh O, a hearty spicy instant noodle casserole with fresh shrimp, crispy pork belly, homemade pork balls, and eggs, which is sure to go well with an ice-cold beer. As for desserts, Chao’s team also translate beloved Southeast Asian classics, such as coconut, pandan, or Thai milk tea, into their signature crêpe cakes.
