The Art March highlight at GATE33 Gallery, The Cha Chaan Teng Codex — Tales of Invisible Designs, takes Hong Kong's iconic cha chaan teng as its starting point, extending into design, culture, and multi-sensory experience. Adopting a research-based curatorial approach, the exhibition brings together cross-disciplinary creators to uncover the rich history, cultural context, community roles, and "invisible" design language embedded in the everyday cha chaan teng.

Highlights include a re-creation of the former Hoi On Coffee Shop exploring cha chaan teng spatial and furniture traditions, and a life-size beverage station revealing the workflow behind order fulfilment — letting visitors step into the role of a cha chaan teng waiter and experience the birth of a "lightning-speed meal" first-hand!

The exhibition also invites industrial designers and food practitioners to reimagine classic tableware and dishes, while exploring how Hong Kong cinema has constructed the cha chaan teng as a cultural carrier of "Hong Kong values".
