So Kee

While you can satisfy your tea and coffee cravings just about anywhere in the city, So Kee is worth a special visit for an immersive experience of the original Hong Kong cafe vibe. This joint’s a classic — still embodying the old-school charm of an outdoor food stall, which is becoming quite rare these days. The local tradition of serving yuen yeung (a concoction of coffee and Hong Kong-style milk tea) likely took root in places like this one. You’ll not go wrong getting yuen yeung, but the menu has much more local cha chaan teng fare that you should try. So Kee’s crispy and sweet French toast, comforting instant noodles topped with pork chop, and sunny-side-up eggs will definitely put a smile on your face. Come by anytime to enjoy its no-frills setting if you’re in Sham Shui Po.
