Born from the collision of Chinese cooking, Western influence, and a century of migration and colonial exchange, the restaurants serve everyone from day laborers to schoolchildren, and the food is some of the most beloved in the world: Baked Pork Chop Rice and Beef Chow Fun, Pineapple Buns and Coconut Tarts, Milk Tea, Red Bean Ice, and more.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLucas Sin has spent years documenting the food of Hong Kong’s cha chaan teng with the rigor of an anthropologist and the instincts of a cook, learning these recipes from the chefs who've spent careers refining them. The result is 128 recipes of comfort food made with the same eye for detail as anything in a fine-dining kitchen. These are some of the most satisfying dishes you’ll ever make: crisp, custardy egg tarts, three variations of Hong Kong-style French toast, and stir-fries with real wok hei. \u003cem\u003eCha Chaan Teng\u003c\/em\u003e is the ultimate collection of Hong Kong’s favorite food―affordable, generous, and unfettered in its deliciousness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hachette","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48041545302274,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/0463\/6790\/files\/81dpHirg9fL._SL1500.jpg?v=1782342683","url":"https:\/\/omnivorebooks.myshopify.com\/products\/pre-order-cha-chaan-teng-comfort-food-from-hong-kongs-iconic-diners-lucas-sin","provider":"Omnivore Books on Food","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
