I grew up in Hong Kong and spent several years in the US, so I have lived between two food cultures. That experience has shaped my palate. Still, when it comes to comfort food, nothing replaces the familiar flavours of a cha chaan teng \u2013 especially an iced lemon tea and a plate of Hong Kong-style curry, both of which remain constant favourites in my life.<\/p>\n

Among Asian dishes, cart noodles have long been one of my greatest comforts. Part of their charm lies in their endless possibilities: fish balls, beef brisket, white radish, tofu puffs \u2013 each bowl can be tailored to mood and appetite. But beyond variety, cart noodles carry a sense of ease and familiarity. They are the kind of meal that works at any hour, whether it is a casual lunch, a late dinner or a midnight craving.<\/p>\n

Fei Gor Cart Noodles<\/strong> (Shop 55, Fook Tin Building, 38 Wai Chi Street, Shek Kip Mei. Tel: 2777 3089) is my favourite for this comfort food. Their house-made chilli sauce is one of the best in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
