4.5 munchies: A memorable dish I stumbled upon at the largest cha chaan teng chain when I first set foot in Hong Kong in 2011, the XO Noodles with King Prawns has been my comfort food ever since. Springy egg noodles tossed in dark soy sauce and topped with succulent king prawns, the savoury XO sauce tied the whole dish together with its fragrance and spiciness. I always find myself running out of the fiery sauce halfway through my noodles!

Other highly recommended items are the borsch soup, butter & condensed milk bun, and hot milk tea. With 35 branches across Hong Kong, I'd recommend you to visit the newly renovated 24-hour branch in Wellington Street, Central – near the bustling Lan Kwai Fong.
