Cha Chaan Teng: Comfort Food from Hong Kong's Iconic Diners, (Hardcover)

<b>Chef, writer, culinary educator, and </b><i><b>Food &amp; Wine </b></i><b>Best New Chef, 2021, Lucas Sin writes his debut cookbook on Hong Kong-style comfort food.</b> <p>The cha chaan teng--Hong Kong's iconic neighborhood diner--is where the city has always fed itself. 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. </p><p>Lucas 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. This is the ultimate collection of Hong Kong's favorite food--affordable, generous, and unfettered in its deliciousness.</p>
