When it comes to Hong Kong’s cuisine, besides dim sum, seafood, congee and noodles, and Cantonese-style roasted meats, one of the must-tries—and the most representative of British colonial style—are the city’s tea restaurants, which can be found on almost every street corner. Whether it's locals' breakfast, afternoon tea, or even late-night snacks, tea restaurants have it all covered.

Every tea restaurant has its own specialties, from “frozen lemon tea” and “yuenyeung” to “pineapple buns”—each representing the essence of East-meets-West cuisine. And this Cheung Hing Cafe, located in Happy Valley, has become a focal point for many.

The reason Cheung Hing Cafe is so famous goes beyond its delicious food. Located near the Hong Kong Jockey Club, it was once a popular spot for jockeys, horse trainers, and racing enthusiasts who would come here for a bite, read the papers, and exchange horse-racing tips. However, as time has passed and with the opening of the Sha Tin Racecourse in the New Territories, the bustling betting scene at Happy Valley may not be what it once was. Yet Cheung Hing, staying true to its traditional flavors, remains as bustling as ever and continues to be a favorite among locals.

In addition, Cheung Hing Cafe is also a favorite among many international celebrities, including Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Carina Lau, Nicholas Tse, and Jeff Chang, all of whom love to dine here.

Cheung Hing Cafe serves traditional tea restaurant fare such as buttered toast, pineapple buns, and custard tarts, and its coffee and milk tea are also famed for their rich flavors. The cafe’s décor remains unchanged from decades ago—a rare find in Hong Kong today and a true classic among historically rich and distinctive tea restaurants.
