What is it?
Hong Kong French toast is thick white bread, often sandwiched with peanut butter or kaya, dipped in egg and deep-fried, then topped with a slab of butter and golden syrup.
It is a cha chaan teng favourite, ordered with milk tea as an afternoon tea set when Hong Kong's 30°C humid heat drives people indoors.
The outside is crisp and golden, the middle soft and rich, with syrup pooling on the plate. Some shops swap the peanut butter for condensed milk or add a sprinkle of sugar. It is usually cut into squares to share at the table.

How we tested
Reference by Y.W. Fung at 82kg with an Apple Watch Ultra. The reference route is a 5.3-mile loop at 3.1 mph walking and 6 mph running; food burn minutes are calculated from calories at those rates, not individually walked off for every food. The reference test date is 2026-05-20. Check the food's listed source and serving.
In Hong Kong, where summers are usually around 30°C and humid, a longer walk in the heat can feel harder than the reference loop shown here.
