Sitting at the base of a factory building in Kwun Tong is Hoi Chiu Canteen, a popular cafe serving creative twists on cha chaan teng classics that can’t be found anywhere else: condensed milk toast sprinkled with Ovaltine powder; scrambled egg sandwich stuffed with an ample amount of scallion. Don’t think it’s imaginative enough? Then go ahead and order their signature macaroni dish. Instead of serving it in a classic chicken broth, the macaroni is wok-fried with spicy mala sauce and topped with shredded chicken, spicy pork cubes, and scallion oil.
