Where to eat and drink in Hong Kong

I love Hong Kong! I love the endless supply of delicious food, great drinking spots, and practicing my rusty Cantonese. During my recent trip to Hong Kong, I made an effort to try as many recommended foodie spots as possible. This list sets out my favourite places.

Dimdimsum Dimsum Specialty Store

Dimdimsum Dim Sum Specialty Store is a neighbourhood dimsum store. It was really crowded with people from the area and the dimsum was honestly good! I was especially fond of the cheong fun wrapped around deep-fried crispy prawns and the steamed pork ribs. The steamed pork ribs were so juicy and tender! The pig-shaped custard buns were cute but they weren't exceptionally delicious. The shrimp dumplings were super good too with the thin skin and fresh crunchy prawns.

Jordan: 21-23 Man Ying Street, Jordan, Kowloon (Tel: 27717766)
Mong Kok: 112 Tung Choi Street, Mong Kok, Kowloon (Tel: 23092300)
Wan Chai: 7 Tin Lok Lane, Wan Chai, HK (Tel: 28917677)
Shatin: Shop 108, 1/F, Citylink Plaza, Shatin (Tel: 22858149)

Australian Dairy Co

Be prepared to queue, eat quickly, and get out of Australian Dairy Co the minute your are done. But the awesome scrambled eggs more than make up for the long wait, the non-existent service, and having to squeeze into booth seats with fellow customers. Frankly, the scrambled eggs are to die for!

47 Parkes Street

Tsim Chai Kee Noodles

Tsim Chai Kee Noodles is a Michelin-starred cafe serving wanton noodles. Oh my, the wanton noodles was super awesome! The noodles were so springy and the huge wantons were filled with large crunchy prawns. This is definitely one of the best wanton noodles in Hong Kong. 

98 Wellington Street 

City Hall Maxim's Palace

City Hall Maxim Palace is a good place to have dimsum in a slightly more posh environment, and ordering your dimsum dishes from traditional pushcarts. Be prepared to shell out more money for this exquisite experience though.

3 Floor City Hall, 5-7 Edinburgh Place, Central

Lin Heung Tea House

Lin Heung Tea House embodied the traditional Cantonese tea house absolutely. We ordered Braised Pork Belly, Spinach with 3 eggs, and Pipa Tofu. All the items were homely and happy food! Come for their cooked dishes in the evening or their traditional dimsum in the day. 

160 - 164 Wellington Street

Ozone Bar

If you have time for only one drinking spot, Ozone Bar is the one watering hole you should not miss. I swear it is way better than Lan Kwai Fong. Situated on 118 floor of the Ritz Carlton, Ozone Bar offers a breath-taking view of the city below. The outdoor area was completely al fresco so the chilly night wind enveloped the area in its cold arms. The area was circled with high glass windows with a row of chairs facing the glass windows so you could sip your drinks while enjoying the marvelous view below.
