Hung Wan Cafe

After closing last December for four months, time-honoured cha chaan teng Hung Wan Cafe has reopened in Prince Edward. Hong Kong cinephiles will easily recognise this institution as the filming location for several iconic movies, including Stephen Chow’s 1998 comedy The Lucky Guy and Johnnie To’s 2006 crime thriller Election 2. During the day, the neighbourhood joint whips up a variety of cha chaan teng classics like instant noodles topped with satay beef, sandwiches with corned beef, and stir-fried rice noodles. If you’re craving something sweet, head to Hung Wan’s second floor in the evening, where nostalgic desserts await, alongside their famous pineapple buns with butter and flaky egg tarts.
