8 Must-Try Food and Drinks in Hong Kong (2018)
Hong Kong is a place where there are just too many choices of food and beverages for anyone at anytime. Personally, I think these are the 8 Must-Try Food and Drinks:
1. Hong Kong "Cha Chaan Teng" Ideal for Breakfast and Afternoon Tea
a) Kam Wah Cafe & Bakery (金華冰廳)
You cannot claim that you have been to Hong Kong if you didn't try this restaurant. Best for breakfast and afternoon tea, especially the all time favourite Bor Lor (Pineapple in Cantonese) Butter Bun and egg tart.
Address: G/F, 47 Bute Street, Prince Edward, Mong Kok, Hong Kong
Opening hours: 6:30 am – 12 am midnight daily
Prices: 20 – 40 HKD per person
b) Chrisly Cafe 華星冰室
There is another option in Mongkok for breakfast and tea that is also very popular for celebrities to visits because this cha chaan teng owned by well-known celebrities in Hong Kong (Gotcha!)
Address: G/F, 107 Sai Yeung Choi Street South, Mong Kok
Opening hours: 7:00 am – 11 pm daily
2. Hong Kong People Like Porridge: Fukkee 富記粥品
Usually I don't favour porridge but this restaurant is making me regret not to like porridge. It is hard to find the type of porridge served here in other places, so smooth and tasty. Another thing to highlight is the typical HK-style of how this restaurant operates. Be ready!
Address: 104-106 Fa Yuen Street, Mong Kok
Opening: 7.30 am - 11.30 pm
Price: around HKD$20 - 40 per item
3. One Michelin Star Roasted Goose: Yat Lok (一樂燒鵝)
Roasted goose is one of the most famous food in Hong Kong. It is like the must-try "Black Pork" in Jeju. I personally think that Yat Lok serves the best roosted goose. The One Michelin Star is definitely not over-rated.
Address: Conwell House, G/F, 34-38 Stanley St, Central, Hong Kong
Opening hours: 10 am – 9 pm on Monday – Saturday and 10 am – 5:30 pm on Sunday
Prices: Around 50 – 100 HKD per person, or more for a full goose
4. Fish ball noodles @ Tsui Wah Restaurant 翠華餐廳
When I wanted to go for a quick lunch with Hong Kong style, Tsui Wah is a great place, a restaurants chain with many years of history in Hong Kong mainly serving local food, from rice to noodles and pastry. The one we went this time is at Tung Chung (nearby City Gate Outlet Mall).
5. Dinner: Yuet Wah Hui Seafood Restaurant 越華會海鮮小館
At least for once, must try to have your dinner in a seafood restaurant here because they have so many different specialty that you may not find in other places. There are a variety of dishes to choose from, depending on your preferences. But why here? we heard that a Hong Kong celebrity often visit this restaurant because he is the boss...but no luck for this visit.
Address: 2/F - 3/F Chung Wai Comm Bldg., 447-449 Loackhart Road, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, Causeway Bay (Nearest is to use Exit B Causeway Bay Station)
Opening: 5.50 PM - 3.00 AM
6. Hong Kong Wanton Mee: Chee Kei 池記 (Langham Place)
Ranked 600 of 8,918 restaurants in Hong Kong, it is something that worth trying if you like wanton noodles. I prefer the noodles with beef briskets in soup. This restaurant is inside the Langham Place shopping mall and menu are very systematic (in English too).
Address: Shop 10, Level 4, Langham Place, No.8 Argyle Street, Mongkok, Hong Kong
Opening: 11:00 AM - 11:00 AM
7. Dessert: Yee Shun Dairy Company 港澳義順牛奶公司
Every time I visit Hong Kong, I always go for desserts after meal, specifically the double-boiled milk. Yee Shun have many branches all over Kowloon and Hong Kong island (in Macau too). Normally I will go to the one in Mongkok but this time, I went to the Causeway Bay branch.
Address: G/F, 506 Lockhart Road, Causeway Bay
Opening: 12:00 PM - 12.00 Midnight
8. Trending now: Blue Girl Beer
If you notice, Blue Girl beer appear in every TVB Hong Kong drama at this point of time. They are the sponsor for the drama and it is a hit now for the local. Try to pair it with some curry fish-ball (both can easily found in any convenient stores)...excellent!
Why am I not recommending dim sum? Well, I think we can also find very nice dim sum in Malaysia and other countries too. I prefer something that we don't often get in our own place.
1. Hong Kong "Cha Chaan Teng" Ideal for Breakfast and Afternoon Tea
a) Kam Wah Cafe & Bakery (金華冰廳)
