Good Food Guide: Hei Lin Cha Chan Teng

Although some people told us Hei Lin Cha Chan Teng is the best Cha Chan Teng in Macau, we rarely jump to conclusions. However, based on repeated visits and observation, what we can be sure of is the customers never tire of the food here – they keep coming again and again. The classic drink of red bean with evaporated milk and syrup is a great way to start. The red beans fill almost half the glass and most are soft as if they’ve been melted. Drink carefully and swallow slowly – you will notice it mix a little with the firmer red beans which are chewy.

People can’t stop drinking it when combined with the smooth evaporated milk. Those who don’t like their drinks very sweet would be better trying the coffee with milk and red beans or tea with milk and red beans. The macaroni in fresh oxtail soup is another must-try. The oxtail is combined with carrot, onion and celery chopped to the same size of the macaroni and cooked into a rich soup. The only word we can find to describe it is delicious!
