赤鱲角に到着しても、入境までまだ何時間も待たなければならない？それとも、フレンドとディズランドに行く前に、東湧で食べることは考えてる？この文章は、行程が詰まっているながらも、腹を満たすために美味しいものを探している友達に向けたものだ。
大嶼山と市内と違う点は，传统的な茶樓が集中していないところで、機能が明確に分区された島——空港は東쪽、昂坪宝蓮寺は山の上に、ディズランドは北쪽、その間を東湧線やいくつかのバスが結んでいる。なので大嶼山の点心タクシーは传统的なものより多くは 무료（一免费）——つまり、食べてエアコンも入れて、GOTを那么大く使わなくても済む。
大嶼山の点心のハイライトについて、まず旅客向けの効率と立地を挙げられる。市内の传统的な点心店は席を待つだけで1時間もかかるが、東湧の小さなお店の多くは「立ち吞みでもOK、座ってもOK」の弹性あるモードで、チェックイン以待ち合わせ的朋友でも素早く腹を満たすことができる。第二には価格——空港区域内にあるチェーン店 Compared to the fast food restaurants in the restricted area of the airport, the small shops in Tung Chung and Mui Wo offer normal char siu rice or steamed rice for just HK$40-60, which is relatively cheaper. The third point is their function as a 「intermediate station」: Lantau Island is actually a great break point. Friends heading to Macau can eat at the ferry terminal before boarding, while those going to the airport can dine in Tung Chung before taking the Airport Express——this flexible dining timing suits travelers whose itineraries are not yet fixed.
Regarding recommended places, the first one must be the 「Tung Chung冰室」 located next to Tung Chung Station. This place opened recently, with an old-school冰室 feel but more modern food, mainly offering 「校长多士」 and 「iron plate series」. What makes it special is its proximity to Exit B of Tung Chung Station—just step out of the MTR and you can see it, which is very convenient for time-pressed travelers. The signature iron plate pork chop spaghetti costs HK$58, and with an iced lemon tea it's only HK$68, which is quite a good deal considering the prices near the airport.
The second recommendation is 「雅格茶餐廳」, located near Mui Wo on Lantau Island, which is a more local tea restaurant. The selling point here is that it's very down-to-earth——unlike the tourist restaurants in the city that charge a 10% service charge, and the staff are quite friendly. My personal favorites are the 「homemade burger」 and 「egg tarts」. The burger buns are custom-made and toasted, and the size is quite large—one is enough to fill you up. This shop is not in the central area of Tung Chung—you need to take a taxi or bus to get there—but for travelers who want to experience the local small shop vibe, it's worth making a special trip.
The third recommendation is 「杯仔冰室」, located near Mui Wo Ferry Pier. The name is quite cute—a small shop, but it's a hidden gem loved by locals and island travelers alike. The 「葱油 chicken pat捞丁」 and 「校长多士」 are quite popular, and their milk tea is made using the traditional silk stocking milk tea method, with a strong tea flavor. For friends taking the ferry to Macau or Cheung Chau, this is perfect——it's only a 5-minute walk from the pier, so you can eat before boarding without worrying about rushing.
The fourth recommendation is 「陳記粉面」, also located in Mui Wo, but this one is more of a traditional rice noodle shop. The 「牛腩河」 and 「wonton noodles」 are quite generous with portions—the beef brisket is cooked until tender but doesn't fall apart, and the soup is flavorful without being too salty. The selling point of this shop is that it's fast and you don't have to think——for those with choice difficulty, the simple menu is a good thing, without having to think too much about what to order. My personal experience is, if you don't know what to get, ordering the 「double combo」 is a safe bet——the combination of char siu and roasted pork is quite tasty.
The fifth recommendation is 「天航茶餐廳」, located in Wong Nai Chau on Lantau Island, close to Disneyland Resort and the Hollywood Hotel. For parents taking their kids to Disneyland, this place is quite convenient——you can fill your stomach before entering the park, so you'll have more energy for waiting in lines. Their 「kids' meals」 have quite a variety and are quite good value, and the adult 「char siu rice」 portions are quite generous. The key point is its location—it's within a 10-minute walk to Disneyland, making it the top choice for breakfast or lunch for travelers staying at nearby hotels.
Now for some practical information:
Regarding transportation, the most convenient way from the city center is to take the MTR Tung Chung Line from Nam Cheong or Lai King to Tung Chung Station, which takes about 35-45 minutes. Alternatively, if you're going to Mui Wo, you can take the ferry from Central Ferry Pier, which takes about 35 minutes and has frequent departures every 30 minutes. For friends going to Disneyland, you can take the Disneyland Resort Line or a taxi—taxi from Tung Chung Station costs about HK$50-70.
In terms of cost, the average spending on dining in Lantau is about HK$45-80 per person, which offers better value compared to fast food or chain restaurants inside the airport restricted area that cost over HK$100. For travelers on a budget, I recommend eating at these small shops in Mui Wo or Tung Chung—you don't need to go into the airport restricted area specifically.
Regarding business hours, note that they vary——「Tung Chung冰室」 and 「天航茶餐廳」 are usually open from 8am to 9pm, while 「雅格茶餐廳」 opens later, from 10am to 8pm. 「杯仔冰室」, being near the pier, may close early on some days, so it's recommended to call and confirm before going.
Finally, a few tips to share: First, if you're catching a flight, I strongly recommend leaving at least 90 minutes before, because the road from Tung Chung to the airport can sometimes be congested. Second, if you're visiting Lantau in summer, remember to bring extra water—walking the Ngong Ping Trail or visiting Po Lin Monastery can be quite体力を使います。 Third, if you want to experience the true 「Lantau slow life」, try having breakfast in Mui Wo in the morning, taking a walk on the beach, then slowly heading to Tung Chung for lunch——this itinerary is different from the usual tourist route and quite relaxing. Fourth, if you need to buy souvenirs, you don't have to go to the airport specifically——there are several pastry shops in Mui Wo that sell Phoenix rolls and almond cookies, with beautiful packaging but prices about 30% cheaper than at the airport.
まとめると、大嶼山の点心は、市街地の伝統的な茶樓のように「ゆっくり食べておしゃべりする」という雰囲気はありませんが、旅客への「快速・美味・本格的」なサービススタイルは、現代人のペースに合っています。お腹を空かせている方は今すぐ試してみてはいかがでしょうか？
