A type of tea known as yin cha often accompanies the meal. The custom of yin cha was brought to Hong Kong from Canton after the end of the war of resistance against Japan. It is therefore known as "yin cha Hong Kong-style." More than 50 separate dishes are served at yin cha restaurants.
這種地方色彩濃厚的飲食習慣，早先流行於廣州，稱為粵式飲茶；抗戰以後，因為廣東人大量的擁入香港，於是這種原本行之於廣東人生活中的「吃茶」習慣，也跟著傳入香港，所以又稱作「港式飲茶」。
