Hong Kong Stars Café, a new movie-themed Cha Chaan Teng in Jalan Besar, brings a nostalgic flair with its handmade dim sum and Cantonese cuisine. The cafe, adorned with old-school interiors, pictures of Hong Kong celebrities, and Cantopop classics, creates an atmosphere reminiscent of Hong Kong’s golden era in cinema and pop culture.
The menu at Hong Kong Stars Café features a variety of Cantonese favorites, particularly in their dim sum offerings. Highlights include classics like Signature Siew Mai and Shrimp Dumplings, all handmade to ensure authenticity and quality. The Steamed Salted Egg Custard Buns, with their molten liu sha filling, are a must-try. For those craving roasted delights, the cafe serves Roasted Pork Belly, BBQ Honey Pork, and Roasted Duck, which can be enjoyed with either rice or noodles, though the springy, eggy noodles come highly recommended.
For heartier options, Hong Kong Stars Café offers “HK Star Sets”—rice and noodle dishes paired with a drink. The Yangzhou Fried Rice, a massive portion of egg fried rice, is a standout. The Handmade Wanton Noodles, packed with juicy and well-seasoned wontons, also make for a satisfying meal. Whether you’re a fan of Cantonese cuisine or Hong Kong cinema, this new café in Jalan Besar offers a delightful culinary experience.
