Even the most fastidious food connoisseurs will be thoroughly satisfied in Hong Kong. Luxury restaurants, friendly teahouses, lively dai pai dong (street-side stands), and dessert houses are abundant in Hong Kong.
Famous Local Dishes
For dinner, traditional Hong Kong cuisine would be an ideal choice. Deeply influenced by Cantonese food, which is quite unique among the eight Chinese cuisines, Hong Kong cuisine emphasizes freshness to preserve the original taste of the food.
Soup is an important course in Hong Kong cuisine as well as a cultural symbol. In Hong Kong TV soap operas, virtuous wives greet their tired husbands by saying, 'I cooked soup for you'. Soups are good for both health and beauty. With specific Chinese herbal medicines like ginger, soups can treat certain illnesses. Hong Kong people usually cook soup by themselves at home.
For seafood lovers, the Jumbo Kingdom is a required stop. Jumbo is a Hong Kong icon and has developed into a theme park on the sea. The address is Shum Wan Pier Drive, Wong Chuk Hang, Aberdeen, Hong Kong.
Sweet soups, offered in restaurants, teahouses and in special dessert houses, can delight your palate as well. These soups include ginger milk pudding, steamed milk in two layers, steamed egg, tortoise jelly, dumpling made of sago, and tofu pudding with fresh fruit.
