One plate as a cha chaan teng serves it. Milk tea is counted with the evaporated milk, which is most of why it is not a free drink. These are estimates for general wellness, not medical or dietary advice.

Questions from Hong Kong

Does RiceCal know Hong Kong food?

Yes. Roast goose, siu mei rice plates, wonton noodles, cheung fun, pineapple buns, egg tarts and HK milk tea are all in the catalogue.

How do I log yum cha?

Dim sum is counted per basket, so three har gow and a siu mai is two entries with their own portions rather than one lump.

Is milk tea counted properly?

Hong Kong milk tea carries the evaporated milk and the sugar as served. Switching to less sugar changes the figure, and the app has both.
