Hong Kong Comfort Food & Lunar New Year Desserts in Richmond 🇨🇦 - Munchie Mondays Live 🍵🍜🧁

Описание: Welcome back to Munchie Mondays! If you’re looking for the best savory bites, sweet treats, and caffeine fixes in Richmond, BC, you’ve come to the right place. Today, I’m hopping on the Canada Line SkyTrain to head south for a budget-friendly food adventure you won’t want to miss.

​The Savory Start: Cha Don (Yaohan Centre)

​Our first stop is the legendary Yaohan Centre to visit Cha Don. If you love authentic Hong Kong-style cafes (Cha Chaan Teng), this is a hidden gem. I dived into their All Day Hong Kong Breakfast, specifically the Dry Ramen Noodle with Luncheon Meat. The highlight? A thick, gooey cheese sauce that takes comfort food to the next level. For just $14, this set is a steal—it comes with perfectly creamy scrambled eggs, thick-cut toast, and a classic hot milk tea.

​The Sweet Spot: St Germain Bakery (Aberdeen Centre)

​Next, we walked over to Aberdeen Centre. While I was there picking up some fried chicken for the husband (priorities!), I couldn’t resist a stop at St Germain Bakery. Their Mango Cream Cake is a staple for a reason. It’s light, airy, and packed with fresh mango flavor. It’s the perfect palate cleanser after that savory cheese ramen!

​The Caffeine Kick: Trees Organic Coffee (Capstan)

​To wrap up this Munchie Monday, I stopped by the new Capstan Station area to visit Trees Organic Coffee. While they are famous for their cheesecake, their Mocha is the real MVP for a rainy transit day. Rich, chocolatey, and the perfect beverage to fuel the ride back home.

​What should I try next Monday? Let me know your favorite Richmond or Vancouver spots in the comments!
