It's open all the time and offers piping fresh pineapple buns along with other assortments of buns and egg tarts that can be purchased right outside to go or ordered while you're at the table. You seat yourself when you walk in then they'll take your order once seated. The check is brought to you ahead of time but you won't pay until you bring the check up to the counter when you're done. Definitely a cheap eats option as we had two meals along with two pineapple buns and egg tarts for only around $15 US!! Downside is that it's cash only, they didn't accept credit cards.

If you have a small party (3 or less) don't be surprised if you end up sharing a table with others. Menu is small, but big enough so everyone can probably find something they like. Would not recommend the minced beef and egg over rice. Egg was definitely overcooked and not as advertised. French toast was good, but took over 15 minutes to be served. Doesn't sound like a long wait, but this is actually quite a long time compared to the rate that all the other dishes were being served. When asked, the waitress said "this dish takes longer to make." Order the french toast at your own discretion. Recommend getting the "regular sets" as it is the best bang for your buck. Tip: you can order your drinks with "less sugar" if you want to. They print your the check right after you order and you pay up front at the cashier when you're done eating.

Yes it's called "Fast Car Cafe", but it's not like any Hong Kong Style Cafe. If you are visiting Peng Chau, you have to try the local food there. Their family style seafood dishes are just amazing! We started out with a fried tofu skin fish soup. Just perfect, not too fishy and the soup is very creamy. Steamed lotus leaf with fresh shrimps and sticky rice... OMG! simply mouthwatering!!! Steamed crabs with egg in Hua Diao Jiu (Chinese yellow wine) just so delicious. Fried fish, sweet & sour pork, scallion & spicy soy sauce chicken... Great food, great price and I simply did not expect anything this good on a small island 30 min ferry from Central. You just have to try it to believe it. This place is a must try if you ever visit Peng Chau.

When I entered, a staff asked me how many and then showed me to a table. There's a QR code to order, or you can request a physical menu. Must have: tea and coffee latte that I could only get in Hong Kong, Tsui Wah's signature fish balls rice noodle soup (i debated), and I ordered a side of scrambled eggs. The beverage came out first, then the eggs, and finally the noodle. If you haven't visited Hong Kong, the table is equipped with a drawers for the utensil and napkins. I totally forgot and when I asked for more napkins a friendly wait staff showed me the drawers. :) My neighboring tables had a different order, and their foods also looked good. While it is a chain restaurant, it serves up some great foods.

Tsui Wah (翠華) is a popular chain…read moreof Cha Chaan Teng in Hong Kong that serves some unique dishes in addition to the many classical Western-Cantonese dishes. Here are some of the items we ate here: Steamed Rice with BBQ Pork and Scrambled Eggs (神之叉燒飯) - 4/5. I love both char siu and Hong Kong-style scrambled eggs, so this dish is a no-brainer for me. Overall, it's good (enough); everything came together. However, there's room for improvement. The char siu has too much fat and needs a bit more searing. The scrambled egg could have been more velvety and less greasy. Hainanese Chicken Rice (大勝三方海南雞) - 3/5. I love that they serve a good soup with more ingredients than just chicken stock. I also like their ginger sauce, which isn't just grated ginger with oil but a puree mixture with additional ingredients. The texture of the chicken is good, but the meat tasted quite tasteless. The rice is okay. Crispy Noodle with Sweet and Sour Prawns on Sizzling Plate (哈哈笑雙面黃)--2/5. Disappointing. The noodle on my dish looked thinner than the one shown on the menu photo. The sauce is too thickened and more like gravy than sauce; it is one-dimensional with a simple taste profile that is just too sweet. Then there was too much sauce over the thin noodles, which ultimately caused the noodles to clump up. Char Siu Bao (叉燒包) - 3/5. Average Char Siu Bao. This is the baked version. I like the outer layer of the dough, which I believe has a nice coating of egg wash that gives the bao a slightly sweeter, crusty texture. However, the overall dough isn't as fluffy as I would like. The Char Siu filling is a bit sweeter. I would like to taste a good half-half of sweetness and savoriness.

This location has a little bakery on the outside that sells egg tarts and typical bakery food. On weekend mornings, you'll see a long line at the bakery section because the pastries taste great and are really affordable - hk$7 for a pineapple bun and hk$10 for a pineapple bun with a slab of butter, which is a hk staple. They also sell Mexican custard buns, which I realized are really popular at these chain hk cafes, but I've never tried them. I did try the egg tarts here for just hk$6. They're so good! Flaky just the way I like it, but not as sweet as nyc egg tarts. Mind you, these bakery items are available not only as to go orders but to stay orders. They make great breakfast food or even an afternoon snack. The first time I ate here was for breakfast and I ordered one of those set meals. I got the beef with pasta in tomato soup. The set included a hot drink and two buns with egg and ham. The meal wasn't that memorable but I came back for dinner cause the food pics looked so good. I love hk baked minced beef over rice/spaghetti, and the ones here are unbelievably good. I love how perfect the egg they add on top looks and it's runny! I'm not a big eater but I'm usually able to finish the whole dish because that's just how tasty it is. I've also had their soup noodles here before and the portion is huge. Honestly, you won't regret coming here. There's a wide range of items on the menu to suit everyone's tastes and budget.

For that, you get to get out of town and relax, breath some fresh sea air! This small island is "Car Free", only bicycles and three wheeler cycles are the only mode of transportation for the islanders. Of course there are still the Fire Brigade & Ambulance Service and they use very very tiny vehicles! Food wise, the island is dotted with Mom & Pops tiny shops and restaurants, nothing fancy, as most serves home style or Hong Kong Style foods. Hoho Kitchen is a relatively new restaurant, not knowing much about it, trying is the only way to find out! Ordered very basic stuff: Beef & Vegetables on Rice, Curry Beef Brisket with Rice & Singapore Fried Vermicelli, and two Ice Tea with Lemon, total cost is just under HK$200.00. I would say the food quality and flavour are all above average, comparing to most fast food outlets that serves similar type of food. This is a compliment as in HK, some of the fast food outlet like Cafe de Coral or Fairwood all serves pretty decent food, and with wide choice too and with very competitive pricing! As you can see from my photos, the food is pretty good sized and if you are just stopping by for a quick bit before heading out to venture and explore the island, this may be a good place for you to refresh yourself!
