This funky chain is a slick yet affordable pit stop for Cantonese favourites including cha siu (barbecue pork slices), cha siu bao (sweet pork-filled buns), siu ngao (duck), chun kuen (spring rolls) and noodles. You can also bunt down Western dishes on the menu but they are more so-so. Dishes arrive promptly on the gimmicky tables, and there’s a busy efficiency about the staff and the way young professional diners hoover up the chow. Other branches: Henderson Center (Level 2, 18 Jianguomennei Dajie) and in the Landmark Tower (1st floor, 8 Dongsanhuan Beilu)

Address: Oriental Plaza, 1 Dongchang’an Jie 东长安街1号, 东方广场不见不散茶餐厅
