Cha Restaurant should be the most well-deserved "old-fashioned" tea restaurant brand in the hearts of Shanghainese. It has only been open for a few years, and in recent years, more and more tea restaurants have opened in Shanghai, but this one is still the most down-to-earth.
Charlie, the owner of Cha Restaurant, studied film and studied in Japan, and is considered Wong Kar-wai's senior brother. Charlie co-founded Cha Restaurant with "Cold War" director Leung Lok-man, so the restaurant is permeated with the most earthy Hong Kong flavor. It is said that at the beginning of the opening, stars such as Yu Wenle, Eason Chan, Edison Chen, and Xu Haoying have been there.
Check the restaurant's chicken-related dishes are all good, and the chef probably has a lot of experience in cooking chicken. The signature chicken with rose soy sauce has thin and tough skin, the chicken is tender and fresh, and the soy sauce seasoning is just right, slightly sweet and fragrant, delicious to eat. The fried chicken wings are also recommended, the chicken skin is crispy and fragrant, but not particularly greasy, the torn chicken is very tender, and it is very delicious to eat with dipping sauce.
The curry brisket is also very well done. The brisket is large, fat and half, moderately soft and hard, and the curry flavor is rich and mellow. Since coconut milk is added to the curry, it has a softer taste and is very good for bibimbap. If you don't like beef tendon belly, you can choose seafood, pork chops, chicken and vegetables for 50 or 60 yuan a piece. Satay beef vermicelli is also a delicacy that can be enjoyed exclusively by one person. The beef is fresh, the satay sauce is thick and rich, the salty aroma is faintly spicy, and the vermicelli is boiled until it is soft and delicious, and this is a steaming delicacy on a winter day.
Check the restaurant的菜品比较丰富，如果不知道吃什么，那么点炒饭、粉面之类的不会踩雷，鸡翅、蛋挞、菠萝油&西多士、冻奶茶的出品比较优秀。难得的是，Check the restaurant的思南路店及永新坊店均营业至凌晨一点半，寂静的深夜，来一份热乎乎的星洲炒米粉，是对空荡的胃最好的慰藉。
The decoration of Cha Restaurant is very simple, with a round table in the middle of the hall, a booth on the side, and the sound of Radio Television Hong Kong lingering in the air. The store's red soda tank is lined with Coca-Cola, Sprite, Fanta and Vitasoy. A can of Yiding, Sanhua evaporated milk, and Ovaltine were neatly stacked on the counter, and the bread oven was also full of food. The name of the dish is not fancy, the tableware is a colored plastic plate, and the presentation is not deliberate, but there is an ordinary intimacy. As soon as you are seated, the staff will bring you a cup of tea, and you can order the food quickly and quickly. The food in the restaurant is really good, but don't listen to the excessive hype of the marketing account, and enjoy the food with the right attitude is the right way.
In addition, the Lao Cha Niu Shi noodles next door to the Sinan Road branch are also a brand of Cha Restaurant, specializing in all kinds of noodles, with rich varieties and good taste, but the cost performance is really not high, and the beef brisket and beef offal noodles are also worth a try.
