Cha chaan tengs are Hong Kong's everyday third place — fast, no-frills diners where you're expected to know your order before you sit down and not linger once you've eaten, and where a roughly 10% service charge is already built into the bill so no extra tip is expected. Dim sum is really a late-morning-into-early-afternoon ritual (yum cha, literally 'drink tea') rather than an anytime meal, traditionally ordered off a trolley or a paper checklist with family on weekends. The tier gap widens most around seasonal delicacies and live seafood — hairy crab, sold by weight and graded by size each autumn, or fish and shellfish kept in tanks and priced by the catch, can cost many times the everyday noodle-shop price depending on provenance and the day's supply.
