Editor’s Note

Last updated 3 Aug 2026

We think Hong Kong Cha Kee in Novena offers a solid take on cha chaan teng classics, drawing regulars for its authentic Hong Kong-style dishes.

Reviewers frequently highlight the Instant Noodles with Satay Beef in Soup, praising its flavorful broth, springy noodles, and tender beef.

The Scrambled Egg with Fresh Prawns on Rice also receives high marks for its fragrant, creamy texture and succulent prawns.

Many appreciate the Hong Kong-style Milk Tea, served in an ice bath to prevent dilution.

While the menu is extensive and prices are considered fair, some experiences vary.

There are occasional reports of longer wait times for certain dishes, like Char Siew, especially later in the evening.

One reviewer noted a cold Bolo Bun with butter, suggesting inconsistency in preparation.

However, the overall consensus points to generous portions and a nostalgic ambiance, with a decor reminiscent of Hong Kong.

We'd recommend visiting during off-peak hours to avoid queues and ensure a smoother experience.
