Man Sing Cafe G/F, 16 Wun Sha Street Tai Hang Tel: 2576 7272
Grub: This small restaurant has been in Tai Hang for more than half a century. Yummy family-style dishes, plus celebrity fans draw a large crowd every day.
Vibe: A small cha chaan teng with limited indoor seats. If you're in a large group, you will have to sit outdoors, which is like going to a dai pai dong. There are lots of news articles and photos hanging on the wall, especially pictures of the cafe staff and local celebrities like Eason Chan Yik-shun.
Who to bring: Friends who enjoy casual, tasty dinners. It's also great if you want a family meal but nobody can be bothered to cook at home.
What's hot: Although the cafe is popular with the rich and famous, people go for the food, not to star-spot. The steamed pork 'mountain' with salted egg is their most famous dish.
Steamed pork cakes are a common local dish, but the chef transforms it into something extraordinary. Rather than the usual biscuit shape, it is served as a 'mountain'. Fat is added to give a rich, smooth taste, and smaller portions are available for those with small appetites.
