Cafe Match Box: A Retro Experience In Causeway Bay
Affordable & Retro Cha Chan Teng
Nestled in the lively streets of Causeway Bay, Cafe Match Box is a vibrant tribute to 1980s Hong Kong. This charming cha chaan teng offers a nostalgic escape from the city’s towering skyscrapers and is a perfect spot to bring out-of-town guests for a truly local experience.
Stepping into Cafe Match Box feels like traveling back in time, with its retro diner vibes and classic cha chaan teng flavors. A converted Hong Kong minibus serves as a quirky dining booth, while Formica tables and tri-color umbrellas enhance the old-school charm. The graffiti-adorned exterior adds character, creating the perfect backdrop for Instagram-worthy moments.
The menu is a celebration of Hong Kong’s comfort food classics, featuring dishes like French toast, barbecued pork spaghetti, ham macaroni soup and shrimp and egg-fried rice. For a hearty start to the day, their all-day full English breakfast is a crowd favorite. Best of all, most dishes are priced under HK$60, making it an affordable treat.
Families will love the outdoor seating in the quaint square, complete with a ping pong table and small tricycles for kids, adding a playful touch to this nostalgic dining spot.
