Tea restaurants in pre-war Kowloon City were Lingnan Tea Restaurant, United Tea Restaurant, Brothers Restaurant and Meng Heung Restaurant. A “restaurant” was of a high tier than “tea restaurant”. Lingnan and United were located on Sha Po, whereas Brothers and Meng Heung were on Prince Edward Road and Pak Tai Street respectively. In the tea restaurants, guests were served at tables that had two levels. The lower level of the table carried crispy dough twist and chess cakes Lee Foo’s family was well-off when he was six to seven years old. On Saturdays, he would go to have tea with his father. To win the favour of Lee’s father, some people volunteered to let the young Lee Foo ride on their shoulders. The main dim sum at the tea restaurants included barbequed pork buns, ribs, stick rice rolls and stick rice with chicken. In winter, they served salted Chinese sausage rolls and Thunder Chisel (i.e. fat meat wrapped in pig liver skin, which oozes out oil when bitten). Pre-war tea restaurants did not serve much beef, because cows were used to plough the fields.
