WELCOME TO HONG KONG!
Whether you're just coming to visit, or you've just moved to Hong Kong or you're moving out of Hong Kong and want to make sure you haven't left any stones unturned before you leave, this is the tour! This is what you have to eat in Hong Kong before leaving! The MUST EATS of Hong Kong. These are the most classic, well known, and famous Hong Kong dishes and foods. Make sure to try out these foods at their most famous restaurants respectively to really get in the ultimate Hong Kong food experience.
All these restaurants are super well known so don't worry if they look "off the beaten" path because they're not. Also, whoever tells you these places are hidden gems are clearly lying to you LOL English menus are available at all these places with the exception of Joy Hing so don't worry. This Hong Kong food tour is meant for you to do it yourself so it shouldn't be intimidating. This food tour is also within a small area (the more touristy areas of Hong Kong) so you'll be able to do it within a few hours though I would recommend you spilt it up before two days as there is quite a bit of food.
Once you've done this, come back and we'll go through the more hidden gems of Hong Kong but start here first so you get a basic food foundation of the flavours of Hong Kong. =) If you go straight to the hidden gems without a base, you'll won't really understand why those are hidden gems, if that makes sense.
EDIT: Just doing my tour guide training and there's a correction. Cookie crust arrived in Hong Kong in the 1940's and puff pastry in the 1950's.

I lived in Hong Kong for a while and worked in Central. I have been to all the places you visited and had all the foods. What I miss most is the Wonton Mein - it's the soup that makes it special. I have had it in the UK, in the US and here in the Philippines. I can get hold of Wonton Mein but it's just not the same. Chau Dofu is another street-food I get a longing for but unfortunately the best can only be found on Dundas Street, Yau Ma Tei.

@MeiinUK Жыл бұрын
In HK, you need to ask for chilli oil. It's not as a standard condiment on a table. And not all places will have it. You need to ask. Typical full on dim sum restaurants will always have this. It's not like in Malaysia, or in Singapore. It isn't standard on many food. Cos with HK, it's still quite TCM-orientated, clean tastes, follows the seasonal and regional food access (seafood) and typical Cantonese food. I think people are super focused more on the heatie and cool thing in HK overall.

It's so funny because in Mainland China, when you go anywhere, the wontons don't contain any shrimp. (In my experience, at least) 水饺 is what contains seafood and shrimp usually. I remember when I would ask the workers if there was any shrimp, they would give me a funny look and tell me that I got the wrong jiaozi! Lol! Which is a win for me because I don't eat shrimp. But it's interesting how it's changed as wontons have traveled anywhere.

Mak is small bowl for a reason. Exact balance so that the noodles do not do not get soggy as it is only 3 mouthful. I have not been to HK for awhile. Not sure some places still around. A tomatoes-beef deng-deng noodles in a basement of a building that sells used cameras on Kimberly or around there. Another place is a liver-beef fun place in Apliu Street area. Both really yummy and uniquely HK as I have not seen them anywhere else.

Hi Peter Thanks for visiting the channel =) if for fancy traditional dim sum then Luk Yu tea house established in 1933. If you want trolley service or the atmosphere, they really were the only ones with those vibes. Maxim city hall for trolley service but it’s much nicer and less old school. Or you can go to Choi Lung Teahouse where you scoop your own tofu pudding from a bucket 🪣 and make your own tea but it’s not trolley service. Best if you went with a Cantonese speaking friend for Choi Lung haha Hope that helps!

@@kimjiljac : I think she means.. you need to speak some strong properly accented cantonese.... in order to have some "buy in" from the locals.. I get the impression that.. the locals are a lot more precarious now, cos the turnover of people had been so high. That's my presumption in general... but yes... Practise some Cantonese in any local language schools wherever you are. I was raised in the UK.. and also did study in HK as well during my junior school years. So can speak cantonese. I think the locals just misses a lot of the local interactions... and they really want people to help them progress the society overall I think. After so many financial crashes in SE Asia... people are just quite scared. Is my assumption. In the UK we had a lot of unions to cushion us.. but we're also transitioning too. I think they too had that in HK as well... but removing those unions are now the issues....

Egg tarts are from the Portuguese (pastel de nata) who ruled Macau for over 300 years.

I believe it’s the Yung Kee Chinese sausages. I’ve had Singaporean clients tell me the Yung Kee sausages are a gift they bring back. FYI, It’s more of a Singapore thing than HK thing 😂

The egg tart is inspired by the Portuguese Custard Tart called Pastéis de Nata because Macao 🇲🇴 is near HK and it was a Portuguese Colony until 1999!! 😊

is possible. but is also lots of evidence that shows HK had the egg tart or custard tart when the British were arriving more too. the custard/egg tart dates back in England since 1450's perhaps older, so is hard to know where it came from exactly.

As someone who doesn't eat pork, is it difficult to avoid there? Living in Oz, all the Hong Kong places are pretty easy to order pork free but I don't know how much of that is due to just catering to a local customer base.

You can, there is a lot of seafood items in HK, as well as actual "buddhist products" like tofu and various specialist recipe. There is a really good Buddhist restaurant that is part of a temple near the Kowloon area I think. Worth trying while you are in HK.. as to know what some temples provide. Some are more commercial but others, is literally what the nuns eat, as part of the temple's running daily chores. I think they have like an open door dining thing on certain days, and then you can donate as much as you want .. kind of operation. I don't know whether this is still how it is run now, in all temples across HK. Some seems to be more structurally corporately run now. (For what reason, I don't know why.)

Egg tart is NOT Portuguese tart as its also sold everywhere here in HK. Egg tart has been made this way by local bakeries and is actually very much a HK style tart

the egg or custard tart dates back in Britain to 1450's, so it is a very British food, but also Portuguese as well, but possibly from the British

Pastel de Nata was invented in the 18th century by monks at the Jerónimos Monastery in Santa Maria de Belém. Today, the monastery is a major tourist attraction. At the time, it was common practice to use egg whites to knead the clothes of the nuns, leaving the monks with remnants of yolks. I’m not here to make any trouble just to show that egg tart / pastel de nata was invented by the Portuguese people also we have this pastry also in Macau in case you don’t know .

@@joaoribeiro9977 the egg tart is recorded in a British cook book dated 1450, before anything recorded in Portugal. However; the British probably got the recipe from the French originally.
