[2025 Hong Kong Restaurant] Travel Guide for Lan Fong Yuen (Updated Apr)

I visited Lan Fong Yuen in Central many years ago when I first came to Hong Kong. It wasn't as popular back then. This time, I dined at their Tsim Sha Tsui location during lunchtime. Although there was a long queue, the turnover rate was quick, and we were seated in about ten minutes. The Tsim Sha Tsui branch is relatively cleaner and brighter compared to the Central branch. They offer set meals, and some main courses come with a buttered bun. We ordered the satay beef with fried egg and instant noodles, which came with a buttered bun, and also had French toast. For drinks, we had iced lemon tea and silk-stocking milk tea. The portion of the instant noodles was huge, about 1.5 to 2 servings! It was very filling. The satay beef was tender, and the buttered bun should be eaten quickly before it gets greasy when cold. The French toast was really delicious, not as greasy or sweet as I expected, but it's best eaten hot. The drinks were not too sweet, and the tea flavor was quite prominent. Overall, I think Lan Fong Yuen is quite good.

#Overseas travel ✔️ Lan Fong Yuen 📍 44 Nathan Rd, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong I went to Lan Fong Yuen, the most famous restaurant among Hong Kong cha chaan tengs. The French toast was really delicious. You should definitely try it. ✔️ King's Lodge 📍 Shop A, Oriental Centre, Chatham Rd S, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong The mapo tofu and dongpo pork here are really delicious. It's a restaurant, so it's expensive, but it's really delicious. After paying, I received the mapo tofu sauce as a gift. ✔️ Yunnan Guilin Rice Noodles 📍 5 Hart Ave, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong It was a cost-effective restaurant with delicious warm soup. You could choose the spiciness, coriander, etc.

If you want to drink delicious silk stocking milk tea in Hong Kong, Where do you think of? #Lan Fong Yuen is a must-visit restaurant in Hong Kong and the birthplace of silk stocking milk tea. I arrived at around 12pm on weekdays and was seated after waiting in line for about 10 minutes. The tin house outside the store is probably where many people come to check in. The store has a relatively low ceiling and is full of old-fashioned flavor. The food selection is more than I expected, so I tried the must-try specialties when I came here for the first time. 🐷 Scallion Chicken Steak ($62) Remember to mix the salty and fragrant scallion oil with the refreshing noodles before eating. The chicken chop is tasty, but I personally think it is a bit salty and the meat is a bit dry. It will be served with a cup of coffee or tea, and of course you have to order milk tea when you come here! ☕️Silk Stocking Milk Tea (hot) If you want to turn it into a cold drink, it will cost +$3. Also, please note that it does not have ice. The tea is fragrant and milky, I like this kind of taste which is not too strong or astringent, and no sugar is needed. In short, is it good enough to eat it once? The food was a bit disappointing. French toast and pork chop buns were pretty good. Maybe next time I come I will buy a cup of milk tea for takeaway 😉 . . Lan Fong Yuen 📍Address: G/F, 2 Gage Street, Central, Hong Kong ⏰Business hours: 07:30 - 18:00 (Closed on Sundays)

#discoverchina When in Hong Kong, a visit to Lan Fong Yuen is a must! Known for its iconic milk tea and flavorful pork meat bun, this local gem offers an authentic taste of the city. The silky, strong milk tea is perfectly balanced, while the pork bun is tender and packed with savory goodness. You can take away and choose to dine in there. A true Hong Kong experience you can't miss!

#2月好地方2025 Lan Fong Yuen is a classic old tea restaurant in Hong Kong. It was founded in 1952 and is famous for its traditional Hong Kong cuisine. The must-try dish when you come here is the silk stocking milk tea they invented. It has a rich tea aroma and a smooth taste. Paired with crispy French toast or savory pork chop buns, it is definitely an authentic Hong Kong-style breakfast enjoyment. In addition to milk tea, LAN Fong Yuen’s scallion oil chicken chop with diced pork is also a popular choice. The tender chicken chop paired with chewy diced pork tastes great. The store retains the style of an old-style tea restaurant. It is small but full of nostalgia, giving people a strong sense of Hong Kong. Whether locals or tourists, they will come here specifically to reminisce the classic Hong Kong flavor. If you want to experience the authentic Hong Kong tea restaurant culture, LAN Fong Yuen is definitely a good choice!

Lan Fong Yuen began its first chapter in 1952 as one of the oldest cha chaan teng’s in Hong Kong. Its original founder was named Lam Muk Ho. It has since stood in the current location at Gage Street, unfazed by the sea change that swept over all of Central in the decades past. It is currently run by the second-generation Lam owners. In the local community, Lan Fong Yuen has always been somewhat popular with its signature dishes, which really do stand out even amongst the thousands of cha chaan teng’s in Hong Kong. Today, however, Lan Fong Yuen is perhaps more popular with the tourists than with the Hong Kong diners. As a result, its staff operates in a few languages at the same time within the small restaurant space. I swear I heard a waiter spoke “milk tea” in Korean to the Korean lady right next to me. The menu of Lan Fong Yuen features a limited number of choices as compared to other cha chaan teng’s in Hong Kong. I saw why this was so, for it focuses on doing the things that it does very well, particularly the dishes that it rightly takes credit for creating. The spring onion chicken over dry ramen noodles is a signature dish at Lan Fong Yuen. In fact, I think it is the only Cha Chaan Teng in Hong Kong that serves this dish now. Traditionally, spring onion dip goes very well with steamed chicken in Cantonese cuisine. Lan Fong Yuen gave it a twist and puts a spoonful of spring onion dip on pan-fried chicken thigh. The ramen is served without a broth, with just a symbolic dash of soy sauce to keep it moist. If you do not like pan fried chicken thigh, then you may consider the pan-fried pork chop as the protein of choice. Lan Fong Yuen's smilky smooth milk tea is also world famous. Note that there are two queues. Find out which queue you must line up for, depending on whether you want to dine in or take out. #foodie #hongkongfood #hongkongfoodie #lanfongyuen #lanfangyuan #centralfood #centralfoodie #central #hongkongheritage #china#localfood

#2月好地方2025 As a native Hong Konger, this "local tour" has allowed me to re-understand my city from a new perspective. This trip is not about visiting traditional attractions, but about exploring Hong Kong's unique street culture and fashion elements in depth, discovering those corners that we are accustomed to but contain infinite charm. The first stop of the journey is Sham Shui Po, which is full of nostalgic atmosphere and densely packed buildings, as if telling the unique historical story of Hong Kong. On the streets full of life, my friends and I walked between old buildings, feeling the unique urban texture of Hong Kong. We found perfect photo spots between the buildings and captured the unique charm of this city. Afterwards, we took the Ding Ding tram and traveled through the streets of Hong Kong. Ding Ding Tram is a unique means of transportation in Hong Kong. It is not only a means of transportation, but also a symbol of Hong Kong culture. Sitting on the tram, looking at the scenery outside the window, you can feel the vitality and pulse of Hong Kong. During the trip, we also tasted many authentic Hong Kong delicacies, from the silk stocking milk tea at Lan Fong Yuen to the egg tarts at Tai Ping Bakery, each food was full of Hong Kong characteristics. These delicacies are not only a treat for the taste buds, but also a cultural heritage. In addition to traditional cuisine, we also explored some emerging restaurants and cafes and tasted unique dishes and drinks. These new restaurants combine different cultural elements and showcase Hong Kong's diverse food culture. At the end of the trip, we came to a shopping mall full of festive atmosphere. The huge Christmas tree and exquisite decorations added more joy to the city. This "Hong Kong People Touring Hong Kong" journey allowed me to get to know this city in a new way. Hong Kong's fashion is not only found in high-end shopping malls, but also reflected in the unique style and life attitude in the streets and alleys. This is a unique Hong Kong fashion that is worth our careful savoring and slow exploration.

#OctoberTravelSupportEvent This is a place that sells Hong Kong-style milk tea, Hong Kong Sachs Tea, and French toast that is great for dessert! There is plenty of syrup prepared on each table, so you can sprinkle it on as much as you want! I only sprinkled a little because it was too sweet! They also sell meal menus, so it was nice to eat! And since the Tsim Sha Tsui branch just opened, if you don't like things that are too complicated, it might be a good idea to go to the Tsim Sha Tsui branch! Location: Lan Fong Yuen, Hong Kong

If you come to Hong Kong for the first time, you must visit Lan Fong Yuen This branch is in the basement of Chungking Mansions. Do not enter the building. Go down the escalator next to Nathan Road Turn right at the end and you will see Although it is a holiday, not many people come The seats will be arranged according to the number of seats. We can arrange for two people to sit at the same table as soon as they arrive The service attitude is not too bad But there is a requirement to order a drink The store takes orders and serves food very quickly. Personally, I prefer the heavy cream flavor of French toast. Silk stocking milk tea is sweet and bitter. The pork chop buns are crispy but just average The lemons of Xianningqi are sold in the store The food will be collected immediately after it is finished. The table turnover is fast. So even if there is a queue, you won’t have to wait too long. Must-try meal for tourists

#Free lounge replacement on Member Day 27th of every month The famous stocking milk tea, the ancestor of stocking milk tea, finally came to visit. I used to have been in big queues all the time and always wanted to try how special it was. As it turns out, after one sip, the tea is fragrant and smooth, and the tea has a little sweet aftertaste. Anyway, I really have to come and try it. Onion and oil chicken chop ling with hot drink $66 Hong Kong style Tai Pai Dang flavour, the noodles are a bit hard, softer would be better, the chicken steak is crispy, there is less of this combination out there, so a time to come to the noodles to try, remember to match the hot food. Kayang West Toast This is the best. It's hot when it comes, and it's in curry sauce when you cut it. It's crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

If you haven’t eaten at Lan Fong Yuen, you haven’t been to Hong Kong. I really have to eat and drink every time I go there!!! - ☻♯ Silk Stocking Milk Tea (Iced) HKD$25 (TWD$100) Silk stocking milk tea is really super delicious! Drinking it in the hot summer, I am only moved 🥹 The milk flavor is okay, but the tea flavor is strong. I love this kind of milk tea. I heard that Lipton's Hong Kong milk tastes similar~ If you think it's too expensive, you can go to the supermarket and buy Lipton's - ☻♯Golden Pork Chop Bun HKD$38 (TWD$152) The crust is either baked or fried and tastes crispy! The pork filling is made from whole pieces of meat, which is very meaty. The seasoning sauce is also delicious. But it’s just too expensive! Maybe just trying it once is enough🤣 - ✘Lan Fong Yuen*2 Gage St, Central, Hong Kong
