Find food, find food! "Find food" is the slang of
"to work" in local Hong Kong language, which means the major reason
to work is to eat. Eating is their important culture in Hong Kong, local
citizen work hard and they are gurus for food. The International Food Festival
held in Hong Kong each year draws tens of thousands of visitors. Now, follow me
to find food, I've picked the best 8 eateries for you!
Wonton
Noodle of Chim Chai Kee Noodle Shop
Around a decade ago Mark's Noodle Shop was the best. Although
Mark's noodle was good and famous, it was expensive and small volume. However,
Chim Chai Kee emphasized on cleanliness of eating environment, coupled with its
fast improvement in noodle taste, and a reasonable price, customers gradually switched
to Chim Chai Kee. Today Chim Chai Kee has the best wonton noodle.
Dim Sum of Luk Yu Tea
House
Hong Kong is renowned with Dim Sum and Luk Yu provides the
best Dim Sum among others. Luk Yu also is a popular place for local celebrities
and business people. It is still decorated the same way as when it was opened
in 1933, tables and chairs with marble inlay, wooden booths, spittoon,
split-level, half-vase on the walls, and an Indian security guard to get the
door for you.
Beef Brisket of Sister Wah
Although Central's Kau Kee restaurant is synonymous
with beef brisket in Hong Kong, Sister Wah is the place to go for a
refreshing bowl of beef brisket noodles for the city’s foodies. Large chunks of
daikon (sililar to large radish) is the
key ingredient of stock, making it lighter and sweeter than in many
other beef brisket places. Sister Wah started in 2003 during the SARS downturn,
but now the minuscule shop is always packed with loyal diners.
Eel Caypot Rice of Choi's Kitchen
This restaurant is fairly new on the Hong Kong dining scene, but
Mr Choi, the owner had made a name for himself with claypot ventures in other
parts of the city. Don't miss the eel claypot rice. The eel, subtly sweet,
contrasts nicely with the slick bok choi and the crispy rice. Choi's already
has quite a reputation in Tai Hang, so be prepared for a bit of waiting during
dinner hours.
Snake Soup
of Ser Wong Fun
Snake soup is considered a delicacy in Hong Kong and
traditionalists believe it wards off colds and other maladies. Ser Wong Fun is
one of the best places to try it, which has about 115-year history of serving
snake soups. The snake meat is shredded into thin white strips and served in a
broth of mushrooms, seafood and lemon leaves. Don’t scare on it, just have a
try and you may love it.
Egg Tart of
Hoover Cake Shop
This is a beloved Hong Kong staple that most commonly found
in two different styles of crust either a crumbly short crust or flaky puff
pastry. But the Hoover Cake Shop continues to draw crowds because it makes the
tarts with duck eggs, intensifying the custard's silky flavour and its rich
yellow hue. The shop looks modest and cosy and the deliciously buttery scent of
baked goods wafting out winning the atmosphere.
Egg Waffles
of Lee Keung Kee
The name of this joint actually means "super hot
gang" in Cantonese, but over the years it has become more commonly known
as North Point Egg Waffles, or even "that place in North Point". The
waffles of Lee Leung Kee are a bit thicker in texture but retain the excellent
fluffy consistency that makes egg waffles so beloved in this city.
Milk Tea of Lan Fong Yuen
Lan Fong Yuen is often known as the founder of milk tea in
Hong Kong and currently has two locations in the city. Starting in the 1950s, the
founder Lum Muk Ho concocted milk tea by adapting the techniques used for
Hainanese coffee. The tea goes through a nude-coloured sackcloth strainer into
a copper teapot before being served either hot or cold. Here, the natural
aromas of the tea are still very strong and can be enjoyed either with or
without sugar.
