Born from the collision of Chinese cooking, Western influence, and a century of migration and colonial exchange, the restaurants serve everyone from day laborers to schoolchildren, and the food is some of the most beloved in the world: Baked Pork Chop Rice and Beef Chow Fun, Pineapple Buns and Coconut Tarts, Milk Tea, Red Bean Ice, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLucas Sin has spent years documenting the food of Hong Kong’s cha chaan teng with the rigor of an anthropologist and the instincts of a cook, learning these recipes from the chefs who've spent careers refining them. The result is 128 recipes of comfort food made with the same eye for detail as anything in a fine-dining kitchen. These are some of the most satisfying dishes you’ll ever make: crisp, custardy egg tarts, three variations of Hong Kong-style French toast, and stir-fries with real wok hei. This is the ultimate collection of Hong Kong’s favorite food—affordable, generous, and unfettered in its deliciousness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover.
