Cha Don: Baked Pork Chop Rice and Milk Tea in Richmond Food Courts

Cha Don is the sister stall to Richmond's award-recognised Cha Kee, bringing the same Hong Kong cafe spirit to the food courts of Empire Centre and Yaohan Centre. Where Cha Kee is known for breakfast sandwiches, Cha Don focuses on hearty rice plates.

Here's what to order at Cha Don.

About Cha Don

Cha Don was created by the team behind Cha Kee after lines at the original stall grew long enough to need a second outlet.

Its menu centres on Hong Kong cafe rice dishes, sandwiches made with pineapple buns, and creamy milk tea.

The Menu

How It Works

Order at the counter. The Yaohan Centre stall has a slightly larger menu, adding curry and chow mein.

What to Order

• Baked pork chop on rice: the signature, with a rich tomato sauce.
• Pineapple bun sandwiches: a crackly sweet bun filled with savoury fillings.
• Creamy milk tea: smooth and strong.
• Curry and chow mein: available at the Yaohan Centre stall.
