Trends in Hong Kong
Is this tea for drinking or cleaning?
I watched some videos showing that the tea and cup at the table are sometimes for washing your chopsticks and bowls. How do I know when that's the case?
Context is key. If it's a small, informal teahouse or a street vendor setting, and the tea looks weak and is in a somewhat battered, communal container, it's probably rinse water.

Sounds like a classic urban legend. Hong Kong is full of them. Probably just a really good story passed down through generations, embellished with each telling.

Maybe it's time to accept defeat and find a decent cha chaan teng instead. Plenty of those around, and no need for a secret password or cryptic map.
Haha, yeah, maybe you're right. A week is a bit excessive, I'll admit. Grandma's ghost story is pretty funny though. I was so sure it was something. The descriptions were so vivid... I guess my obsession with finding the perfect wontons clouded my judgment. Cha chaan teng it is then! Any recommendations?
