Our regular lunch place

A local Chinese-style vegetarian place popular with local older customers. They offer English menu and authentic local food at a local price. Bring your tissue/reusable napkin bc the place doesn’t have napkins on the table. They may give you some kitchen towel if you ask though. Also, portions are huge so bring your container for leftover takeout if you are going solo.

Pros: Authentic, Local small business, Tasty vegetarian food, including veg dimsum

Cons: Staff may not speak English (Eng menu available)

Huge portions, lots of options but the food is average

I've been about three times now and the food is just okay.
It's relatively inexpensive compared to the other joint around the corner but this one's food is just average.

A bit on the salty side from what I found however.

Miu Fat Chai - Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong

(Typo corrected)

Updated from previous review on Tuesday May 12, 2015

I had take away when I went here (dumplings, 3 hkd each and very nice). I was inside though asking staff about things like opening hours. The guy at the front didn't speak much English so with my very poor standard of Cantonese, they rustled another staff member up who spoke English.

The have seating downstairs and up.

Pros: Vegan friendly, Tasty takeaway

Tasty, Friendly and Inexpensive

We had Tim Sum breakfast here twice when we stayed in a nearby hotel. The very friendly and helpful cashier lady recommended us their specialty. Though was in the very early weekend morning, the restaurant was already very crowded with their local senior citizen. Extensive variety of Tim Sum, low price at total HK75 for 5 dishes.

Pros: **

Cons: **

Zongzi - 粽子 - tetrahedral - very yummy

It is zongzi time again.

I enjoyed my first 2 a few minutes ago.

Sticky rices, herbs & beans wrapped in bamboo leaves & boiled or steamed.

Over the next few days I will try many different varieties around Hong Kong.

Miu Fat Chai sells excellent ones - vegans be sure to specify 'no egg'.

Family owned restaurant - maybe 50+ years in this location - I first visitied here 27 years ago.

I buy the dim-sum from here on my way to & from projects.

Many friends eat here & love the food / atmosphere.

A little English spoken.

Low prices.

Can be very busy.

You often have to share tables.


The tradition - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zongzi
Zongzi is traditionally eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival (Mandarin: Duanwu; Cantonese: Tuen Ng) which falls on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar (approximately late May to mid-June), commemorating the death of Qu Yuan, a famous Chinese poet from the kingdom of Chu who lived during the Warring States period. Known for his patriotism, Qu Yuan tried unsuccessfully to warn his king and countrymen against the expansionism of their Qin neighbors. When the Qin general Bai Qi took Yingdu, the Chu capital, in 278 BC, Qu Yuan's grief was so intense that he drowned himself in the Miluo river after penning the Lament for Ying. According to legend, packets of rice were thrown into the river to prevent fish from eating the poet's body.[1] Another version states that zongzi were given to placate a dragon that lived in the river.
