Lan Fong Yuen

Top choice in Hong Kong


This rickety facade hides an entire cha chaan tang (tea cafe). Lan Fong Yuen (1952) is believed to be the inventor of the ‘pantyhose’ milk tea, and droves of Instagrammers come to worship here, drink in hand. Over a thousand cups of the strong and silky brew are sold daily alongside pork-chop buns, instant noodles and other delicious hasty tasties.

Watch staff work their magic while you wait for a table in the buzzing, cramped cafe.
