Originally from Hong Kong, I grew up eating at Cha Chaan Tengs, a kind of neighborhood cafe offering an eclectic selection of “HK-style Western cuisine. One in particular is a true hole-in-the-wall – a mobile kitchen at the back alley of street full of car repair shops. Their egg and cha-siu fried rice is to die for.
