Review: 茶餐廳 in Toronto

茶餐廳, which sells cheap Chinese and Western food, is an unique Hong Kong culture. This type of restaurants originates from Hong Kong, just like pizza restaurant originates from Italy. Recently, 有香港政黨建議中央向聯合國申請把茶餐廳列入「人類非物質文化遺產」.

My favourite 茶餐廳 food are 港式奶茶, 鴛鴦, 蛋治, 蛋撻, and 鮮油菠蘿. So, I decide to do a review of my favourite 茶餐廳 food.


港式奶茶 is also called 絲襪奶茶 or Hong Kong Style Tea. A good cup of 港式奶茶 must be 香、滑、and 濃. This is a very famous drink in Hong Kong.

鴛鴦 is basically a mixture of coffee and Hong Kong Style Tea. A good cup of 鴛鴦 must be also 香、滑、and 濃. My favourite 鴛鴦 is mixing 檀島咖啡 with 港式奶茶.

蛋治 is egg sandwich. I prefer the bread not to be toasted. The bread must be chewy and the egg must be soft.


蛋撻 is egg tart. There are two types of egg tart crusts: 曲奇皮 (cookie crust) and
酥皮 (puff pastry crust). Personally, I prefer cookie crust since it is less fat.


鮮油菠蘿 is a 菠蘿包 with a thick slice of butter inside. The 菠蘿包 must be hot enough to partially melt the butter inside.


Here are different 茶餐廳 in Toronto...

(1) 味全茶餐廳 Mei Chuen Cafe & Fast Food
(3301 McNicoll Ave Unit 1, Scarborough, ON)

港式奶茶 => The tea is strong and smooth. The tea and milk proportion is good.

鴛鴦 => This is the only place I found that 鴛鴦 contains 檀島咖啡 and 港式奶茶. The other restaurants usually use normal coffee instead of 檀島咖啡. The 鴛鴦 is strong and smooth. The tea, coffee, and milk proportion is good.

蛋治 => The bread is chewy and the egg is smooth and soft.

蛋撻 => N/A
鮮油菠蘿 => Good!


This restaurant is my favourite!!
