9VSKA: Famous for their all-day breakfast set, comprising of a macaroni soup bowl with char siu, a pair of fried/scrambled* eggs with sliced ham and buttered bread/toast*, plus a drink. (* = recommended!)
9VSKA: Offers a range of tasty HK “fast” foods, including fried egg/rice noodles, “siu mai” (pork dumplings), fish balls, congee, and “ju cheong fun” (猪腸粉). The latter (pictured), is a definite must-have!
9VSKA: The pork liver soup noodles is staple here — choice of instant noodles, macaroni, rice noodles, spaghetti along with condiments (fried luncheon meat and/or sausage) is available! • Mouth-watering! :)
9VSKA: The deep-fried pork chop with rice at this very “local” establishment is the main event. Add a side order of XO sauce to truly invigorate those taste buds! ;) • ~5-10 mins. walk from Langham Place.
9VSKA: If you feel like a bit of roast goose, and in the Mong Kok district, look no further! This busy establishment serves some of the best in town. Try it with a rice (bowl or plate) or glass noodles set!
9VSKA: Serves some of the best sweet tofu pudding and soya bean milk (both hot and cold available). Grass jelly is also on the menu — ask for evaporated milk (「淡奶」, or “far lai”) to be added!
Ramen Restaurant · Causeway Bay · 48 tips and reviews
9VSKA: Situated 2 mins. from Times Square, this dedicated store does one of the best Tonkotsu Ramens around (think ‘Ichiran’ from Japan — there’s a reason for this!) • Few other ramen variations available.
Cantonese Restaurant · Yau Ma Tei · 10 tips and reviews
9VSKA: These guys are tops with their congee, especially those with fish as part of the ingredients. The “fish fillet with fish bone congee” is a local favourite, while the pig liver congee is also *noms*!
9VSKA: If you’re after a milder-tasting variation of won ton noodles, this place has them! Soup base is good, noodles are easy on the teeth (still springy), and the prawn-filled won tons are done just right!
9VSKA: Secluded in the vast Women’s Market of Mong Kok, you’ll find the typical Chinese herbal elixirs (for good health) readily served here. But the turtle jelly (hot or cold) is their ultimate must-have!
Hong Kong Restaurant · Mong Kok · 22 tips and reviews
9VSKA: Your typical “tea restaurant” (or local café) situated in Mong Kok. Serves up a decent fare, with special set meals throughout the day, including some all-day breakfast selections. Open 24 hours!
Dim Sum Restaurant · Mong Kok · 106 tips and reviews
9VSKA: Trying to get a legit dim sum fix can be a little time-consuming. These guys have several outlets where you’re able to get authentic (and decent) Cantonese dim sum with decently-paced service.
Hong Kong Restaurant · Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong · 34 tips and reviews
9VSKA: This place is all about claypot-cooked rice and their deep-fried oyster with eggs (must-try!) For the former, go for the mixed “Chinese sausages” (or “lap cheung”), consisting of pork & pig liver.
46-50 Des Voeux Rd. W (at Queen St.), Sheung Wan, HK
Cantonese Restaurant · 66 tips and reviews
9VSKA: Looking for an authentic Cantonese yum cha experience? Look no further, as this long-time establishment seeks to continue its traditional dim sum practices — right down to the serving of tea!
Cha Chaan Teng · Central District · 76 tips and reviews
9VSKA: If you hate tomatoes, then move along. Otherwise, this traditional quick-and-dirty eatery will serve up a selection of delectables (bread, macaroni-in-soup, drinks) in its very traditional setting.
Cantonese Restaurant · Central District · 166 tips and reviews
9VSKA: Located in Central district, the offerings of goose at this establishment is good enough to challenge the likes of Yung Kee (they’re just expensive!) Drop by for a bite if you’re ever feeling peckish!
