Comfort Food

We’ve been inundated lately by sweltering heat which mercilessly swaps with out-of-nowhere rain showers. It’s confusing, it’s insane, we don’t know what type of season to dress up for. Are you craving familiarity? Because we are. When the weather’s so unreliable, we go looking for comfort. Comfort food, to be specific – because we here at ENTERTAINER HK HQ are a hungry lot.

Here now are our picks for top NEW buy one get one free comfort food spots on the ENTERTAINER app.

Comfort Food

Taco Chaca

Ground Level, 119 Second Street, Sai Ying Pun
This cool, little taco shack is an SYP stalwart for good reason. Innovative tacos take centre stage here, what with options like Lengua de Rex (slow-braised beef tongue) and Mid-Wilshire (Korean bulgogi beef). Our favourite is  the Baja Fish, made with batter-fried pollock. There are other classic Mexican favourites, too, like burrito and quesadilla – all buy one get one free on the ENTERTAINER.

Andrea’s Bagel Crust Pizza

Ground Level, 117 First Street, Sai Ying Pun
What’s better than pizza on a rainy day? Bagel-crust pizza, that’s what. If you’re more than mildly intrigued by the taste and texture of pizza with a bagel dough, run quickly to Andrea’s to satisfy your curiosity. You can also build your own pizza, then eat your own masterpiece afterwards. Pizzas here are topped generously which is why this family-run joint is a neighbourhood favourite.

MEAN Noodles

Shop 4, 148 Wing Lok Street (Entrance at 38 New Market Street), Sheung Wan
Come here to feast on MSG-free noodles that are bursting with flavour. This Southeast Asian noodle bar boasts gems, such as yen ta fo,  char kuey teow, Hokkien mee and more. Their house drinks (lemongrass soda, lime soda, calamansi soda… are you thirsty yet?!) are made fresh onsite daily, no preservatives. Gourmet-level comfort food, chic batik-inspired interiors – we’re in love.

Pho Up

Shop C, Ground Level, On Lok Mansion, 39-43 Hollywood Road, Central
You can’t miss this trendy spot for Vietnamese food on Hollywood Road; its shop front has a huge neon star symbolising the Vietnamese flag. The menu is focused and petite, which makes food selection easy. Tiger prawn roll with yuzu dressing. Roasted pork neck. Crusty baguette banh mi. My goodness – just give us everything. The Pho Bo (raw beef, oxtail, beef ball and Wagyu brisket) is a must-try.
