What's on Waimai is a monthly column where we single out delicious delivery food choices for your dining convenience.
Considered the forerunner of present-day Hong Kong ‘tea restaurants’, bing sutt, ‘ice rooms’ in English, started in Canton and proliferated in Hong Kong in the 1960s. Traditionally, a bing sutt is a bistro that serves cold beverages like milk tea and Western snacks like sandwiches. For a home-delivered taste of this unique mid-century phenomenon, try ordering from Kowloon Cafe.
A popular order is the cube-shaped, bite-sized French toast. The baked rice with cheese, prunes and pork steak (RMB38) also makes for an appetizing meal. Feeling like an afternoon snack? Can’t go wrong with the good ol’ pineapple bun (RMB15). For something to drink, why not try the ‘netizen-recommended’ light bulb milk tea (RMB17), which, as you’ve probably guessed, is milk tea served in a light bulb-shaped container.
The popular restaurant has over 20 branches across the city, so rest assured that you’ll find one in your hood.
