Be it lunch or dinner, there is always a crowd at this restaurant with a good majority of them being locals.

5. Chrisly Cafe
Many of Hong Kong’s iconic sweet treats rely on rendered pig fat or lard for their soft, buttery flavor and texture. While lard is dairy-free, it poses a problem for diners keen to get the full cha chaan teng experience while keeping halal. But don’t worry if you’re craving some authentic local pastries because Chrisly Cafe is the best place to visit to get them. Owned by a Hong Kong-born Muslim, the cafe’s bakery section uses peanut oil and vegetable oil in its pastries, allowing you to rest easy as you munch on their pineapple buns and flaky egg tarts. That being said, only the bakery section is Halal-certified so we would suggest getting your snacks to-go with a side of Hong Kong milk tea.

Shop 10, 2/F, Emax, 1 Trademart Drive, Kowloon Bay

The owner is Malaysian, making it a popular choice amongst Malaysians and Singaporeans visiting Hong Kong. Their crispy roasted chicken, fried rice, and beef brisket noodles are among the popular dish choices offered at Hung’s Chinese Restaurant.
