#cha chan teng

[grouchydairy]

that perfect ham you get with your morning noodles

[ramyeongif]

Returning to the concept of pasta and how Western influences seeped into Hong Kong dishes is the emergence of Hong Kong Cafés (cha chan tengs), which serve a variety of fusion foods, such as milk tea.

Ovaltine Carton ft. Cat

My mom just bought this home yesterday saying my aunt gave it to her to give to my grandpa. There’s two, so I’m sure he doesn’t mind (also I asked, I’m not a monster to the elderly). Ovaltine is such a nostalgic drink! When we were in Hong Kong and went to 茶餐廳(casual hk diners), if I didn’t order chocolate or milk tea, I would be getting either ovaltine or horlicks. There’s always the debate over which one’s better, and personally, I’m team Horlicks, but ovaltine’s powder mix is more popular. I would get horlicks at the restaurant and we’d buy ovaltine powder for ourselves, because grandpa liked ovaltine. Grandma doesn’t really like either, but she agrees that horlicks has a stronger flavour. I live for that strong flavour. Oh! Let me do a quick survey.

Horlicks: 5 (me, Kath, Oliv, 蕙姨 who said if you’re drinking ovaltine you might as well drink chocolate milk, Crys)

Ovaltine: 6 (grandpa, grandma, 格格, Jess, Joyce, Alson)

Doesn’t know what horlicks is: 5 (Sh, Mar, Mar’s mom, YS, Alex) (apparently it is not popular in Taiwan)

I’ve never had ovaltine in a carton before. It’s always been made on the spot.

Definitely smells like malt.

Yep. This is ovaltine. Slightly sweeter than most I’ve had, but I guess they were trying to cover their bases, given that it can not be further altered like powder mixes. It’s got that familiar milky grainy texture which is nice (it isn’t grainy like scooping cheese powder in your mouth, but grainy in a fuzzy way that adds to the overall texture of the drink and evokes the imagery of malt).

Malted drinks are pretty popular in Hong Kong and - I just learned this - India, and it probably has something to do with their history of British colonisation. From what I’ve gleamed off Wikipedia, horlicks is more culturally tied to these places, while ovaltine has branched out and is relatively more well known globally. Malt milk - horlicks in particular - is seen as a night time drink in the UK, a breakfast drink in India, and a casual diner drink in Hong Kong. They’re all advertised as a nutritional supplement. My favourite malt milk would be a hot horlicks from a 茶餐廳.

👏 Yeah, Cha chan tengs are my childhood memories, even I thought they're too dirty.

茶餐廳 Menu Lingo (only appli. in Hong Kong)

Thanks to @blood-bla-bla for recommending me that Cha Chan Teng 茶餐廳 Song, I finally got my fingers (and brain) motivated enough to find out more about 茶餐廳 menu items and I found this picture! ↑

Though I doubt I'll ever get to use or hear some of these terms outside of HK drama series, it's fun to peruse and try to decipher how some of these lingo (some are really funny!) came about! (^^)

I can guess some of the following for e.g. ↓

“g” stands for “guess”

“29” — 熱鮮奶 (Hot Fresh Milk) [g. “2” and “hot” sound similar, and “9 (nine)” sounds like “milk” in Cantonese]

“OT” — 熱檸檬茶 (Hot Lemon Tea) [g. “O” for “zero” sounds like one half of the character for “lemon” and “T” for (obviously) “tea”]

“2O6” — 熱檸樂 (Hot Cola w/ lemon) [g. “2” “O” (zero) and “6” sound like “hot”, “lemon” and “cola” in Cantonese respectively]

“冬T” (lit. “winter T”) — 凍奶茶 (Cold Milk Tea) [g. 冬 “winter” and 凍 “chilled or cold” sound phonetically the same]

“涼茶” (lit. “cool tea”) — 凍奶茶 (Cold Milk Tea) [g. this is just to be cheeky. Because outside of 茶餐廳, “涼茶” is a very different kind of tea! — more like a herbal tea believed to have a “cooling” effect, and I don't think actual 涼茶 is sold at 茶餐廳?]

“乃T” — 奶茶 (Milk Tea) [g. “乃” also sounds like the word for “milk”]

“孖T” (lit. "twin T”) — 兩杯奶茶 (2 cups of Milk Tea)

“齋啡” (lit. “vegetarian coffee”) — 不加糖奶 (Coffee w/o sugar & milk)

“飛沙走奶” (“sand flew and milk gone/left”) — 不要糖不要奶 (No sugar, no milk) [g. “沙” comes from “沙糖” which means “granular sugar” and this whole term appli. to all drinks that could have these]

“汪阿姐” (“Big Sister Wang”) — 熱咖啡 (Hot Coffee) [g. reference to Liza Wang, well-known HK personality, because she had a popular song called “Hot Coffee” in the '70s (I think), and I also think only people of a certain generation would use this term? I've only heard of this being used once in a drama series (from 20+ years ago now), where an older character used “汪明荃” (Liza Wang's full name) to mean he wanted hot coffee] ↓

《緝私群英》 (1997) 第六集 ↑

"雪櫃” (lit. “Refrigerator”) — 樽裝可樂 (Bottled Cola) [g. because bottled cola is a standard (or used to be — not sure if bottled cola can be found widely now) found in all fridges in 茶餐廳, so it's a given “refrigerator” means that]

“和尚跳海” (“monk jumps into the ocean”) — 滾水蛋 (Half-boiled egg) [g. because (obviously?) a monk's bald head resembles an egg and “jumping into the ocean” refers to the “egg being dunked in boiling water”]

“靚仔” (“handsome/pretty boy”) — 白飯 (White Rice) [g. because fresh steamed white rice has a glistening, “pretty” sheen to it, while 仔 (boy) sounds like 滯, which means to feel stuffed or full, and rice is seen in most Asian cultures as a main staple, to fill up on]

“靚女” (“pretty girl”) — 白粥 (Plain Congee) [g. since there's a “pretty boy”, to add a “pretty girl” to the menu seems an obvious step, and congee is seen as a “lighter” dish than rice, mirroring people's common perception that girls are “lighter” than boys]

↑ are just some examples, I'm too lazy to list down every item and try to decipher every one, some of which I'll never understand as a non-local anyway.

Saturday morning shenanigans:

dodging grandmas in market trying to run me over with their trollies

strategising which queue in the veggie stall is the shortest

bargaining with the husband to try out the new cha chan teng (luncheon meat bun pls come to me)

[secondhand-trash]

Rules: Tag 10 people you want to know better. I was tagged by @soplantyourownflowers and @katierosefun ❤(ӦｖӦ｡) thank you

Relationship Status: Forever Alone

Favourite Colour: Forest Green

Three favourite foods: all parts of beef, sashimi, bread

in terms of a course: my aunt's braised pig intestines, spaghetti bolognese and the combo of satay beef instant noodles and whole ham omelette from the Cha Chaan Teng (HK vintage diner) that raised me and retired five years ago (okay their satay beef + runny eggs rice is pretty good too)

Song stuck in your head: 最佳損友 [my best bad friend] by Eason Chan. Such an Anakin & Obi-wan and an Anakin & Ahsoka song…

Last song I listened to: 明年今日 [this day next year] by Eason Chan, again…

Anything I really want: I got HT Ahsoka today what more could I ask

Disney to go bankrupt and all its intellectual property open up to public domain so passionate, knowledgeable and sensible fans can take back Lucasfilm along others,
