About Ho Lin Wah Restaurant

Stepping into this Sunnybank diner drops you straight into vintage Hong Kong, right down to the retro floor tiles and booth seating. Ho Lin Wah nails classic cha chaan teng comfort without the rushed, sharp edges typical of traditional tea houses. The encyclopedic menu runs from wok-seared beef ho fun and silky rice noodle rolls to Hong Kong–style French toast stuffed with peanut butter. Regulars rely on the late-afternoon tea sets, pairing freshly baked egg tarts with a rich, balanced coffee-tea yuan yang.

  • Vintage Cha Chaan Teng Styling: Retro floor tiles and period window frames capture the feel of a 1970s Hong Kong tea cafe.
  • East-Meets-West Menu: The expansive lineup ranges from beef ho fun with wok hei to peanut butter French toast and baked spaghetti.
  • Afternoon Tea Sets: Budget-friendly tea combos pair warm egg tarts or noodle sets with rich milk tea or coffee-tea blends.

  • Fried Hoi Fan with Beef

    I always go back for the fried hoi fan with beef. I really miss the way they cooked which I can hardly find in Hong Kong.

    Club Sandwich – Surprisingly flavourful and well balanced. The bread was nicely toasted and not overly dry.
