Chao Fu Cheng (HuBin North Road)

Chaofucheng was established in Xiamen in February 1997. It is equipped with a venue with simple yet elegant decoration, providing a variety of dishes prepared by famous Hong Kong chefs, mainly Chaoshan cuisine, supplemented by a variety of snacks and delicacies.

Hong Kong-style tea restaurant on Hubin North Road. Tea restaurants originated from Hong Kong restaurants and are mainly steamed baskets. They are very common eating places in Hong Kong. Chaofucheng specializes in Hong Kong-style tea products. It is one of the most favorite tea restaurants in Xiamen and has always been doing well. There is often a queue. There are many tables for four or six people in the large lobby on the first floor. The shrimp dumplings in Chaofucheng are a must-order delicacy every time I go there. The skin is crystal clear, and the shrimp meat is firm and delicious, which is satisfying. The fragrant durian pastry has a crispy skin and a rich fragrance inside. The steamed chicken feet with black bean sauce are also one of the must-orders. They melt in the mouth and are loved by both young and old. It is definitely a restaurant worth trying. Crispy pigeon, sago, shrimp dumplings, fragrant durian pastry, steamed spareribs with black bean sauce, etc. I won’t recommend them one by one. These are all my favorites.

I will come to Hufucheng in Bayyuecheng for evening tea next time. The new store has more seats. Because I bought a set meal, I didn't have to worry about what to eat and spent half a day choosing. | Chaofu Shrimp Dumplings^ This is the standard, as delicious as ever. | Steamed Chicken Feet with Fermented Black Beans^ I ordered two servings, and all four of us loved to nibble on the feet. | Shacha Niuhe^ This is also a must-have, and I must eat it every time. | Crispy Pigeon^ One is divided into four pieces, one for each person, and no one eats the rest of the head. | Sweet and Sour Pork^ A little sweet, a little sour, and a little less meat. I still like Chaofucheng for morning and evening tea.

▲Location: Chaofucheng, Binbei Bank of China Station. This is probably the busiest restaurant in the Binbei CBD! I always feel like there's a line every time I come. ▲Ambience: Although it's been open for a long time, the ambiance is quite good, and there's plenty of seating in the lobby. ▲Recommendation: As Xiamen's most famous Hong Kong tea place, Chaofucheng has always been a popular choice. What always draws me to Chaofucheng are its classic dishes: durian pastry, taro spare ribs, mango pudding (now permanently off the shelves), coconut milk cake, chicken feet, shrimp dumplings, and stir-fried beef noodles. Paired with chrysanthemum pu'er tea, it's perfect for a late-night snack with a few friends while enjoying tea and chatting. ▲Service: Enthusiastic, their service is pretty good!

It's been ages since I've been there. Last time, a friend invited me over, and thinking of snacks, I thought of Chaofu City. I realized I hadn't been there in ages, so I decided to go. I arrived around 6:00 PM, and it was already packed. Be careful to see if it's in the same place as the vegetarian restaurant. The snacks are as delicious as always, the flavors remain unchanged. Recommendations include the Chaofu Shrimp Dumplings, the Black Bean Steamed Chicken Feet, the Fragrant Durian Pastry, and the BBQ Pork Rice Noodle Rolls.

I've been enjoying Hong Kong-style dim sum at [Chao Fu City] for years. The Hubin North Road branch, located at 28 Hubin North Road (1st floor, podium, Jianye Building), is the oldest and closest to my home. They later opened branches at the Ferry Terminal and Bayview City. But I still love the Hubin North Road branch the most, having probably eaten there dozens of times. Must-order items every time: roasted squab, shrimp dumplings, steamed spare ribs, steamed chicken feet, purple rice with shrimp sausage, barbecued pork buns, and more...
