Classic Chinese street food, Macau-style pork chop, mango desserts
"The Hong Kong-inspired canteen serving Cantonese and Malaysian dishes is one of the last vestiges of late-night Chinatown and you’ll find it full of hungry or stumbling singletons and duos who are in dire need of sustenance. Cafe TPT offers a range of delicious dishes, from sweet, moist char siu pork, to beef flank curry. But if you’re looking to nap on the bus home, get the cheesy, béchamel-covered, Macau-style baked pork chop." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager, sinead cranna
"There are lots of Cantonese restaurants in the area to visit if you just want a plate of roast meat and rice, or some noodles, but Cafe TPT is our favourite. Nostalgia for old-school Chinatown aside, we’ve been coming here for more than 10 years, and you can get a full meal with friends, have a catch-up, or eat a solo plate of chow mein. Get the roast pork and char siu pork with rice, or the beef flank curry, which is one of the most underrated dishes in London." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"Cafe TPT is an all-people, all-occasions, all-dependably-delicious choice in Chinatown that’s open until midnight on Friday and Saturday. At the Hong Kong-inspired canteen, you can get a full meal with friends, have a catch-up, or eat solo if you have no friends but still want chow mein. It serves Cantonese and Malaysian dishes, and the honey-glazed char siu pork is a favourite, piled on top of rice with some cursory (but appreciated) steamed cabbage underneath." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"Comfort order: Macau-style baked pork chop. If you feel like you’ve been in a sort of conscious, eye-open coma for the past six months, then let us suggest you double down on that feeling in a big, béchamel-heavy way by ordering from Café TPT. The classic Chinatown diner offers a huge range of delicious dishes, from sweet and moist char siu pork on a bed of rice, to beef flank curry, to hot and sour soup. But the Macau-style pork chop on rice - chilli oil fried pork strips, on top of steamed rice, and covered in a coconut flaked, curry tasting, cheesy béchamel sauce with crunch onion for good measure - will make you forget your coma altogether. This is pure comfort." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"If you’re not going to a 9pm showing at any of the cinemas around Leicester Square or Piccadilly Circus before heading to Café TPT for a late-night debrief alongside char siu pork on rice then, quite frankly, you are going to the cinema in the wrong way. The Cantonese canteen is one of the last vestiges of late-night Chinatown and you’ll find it full of hungry or stumbling singletons and duos who are in dire need of sustenance. Be it roasted meats or, if you’re looking to nap in the cinema whilst Ben Afflec grimaces at something, the whopper, cheesy bechamel-covered, Macau-style baked pork chop." - jake missing
