Hong Lin Restaurant is a Hong Kong-style cha chaan teng in Mong Kok that serves pineapple buns, egg tarts, and milk tea. It sits on Tung Choi Street near the Fa Yuen Street shopping area, and its main items are buttered pineapple buns, freshly baked Mexican buns, fried noodles, and fried rice. The shop occupies the second floor, takes orders from a menu board with photos and English descriptions, and stays open until 1:30 a.m. Seating is cramped, so staff assign you a seat, and their manner is brusque.
