Old-school dim sum favourite now unfortunately catering to throngs of tourists. Very good food, wonderful old interior but can be pricey. A Hong Kong institution!
Experience an affordable and modest Michelin-star restaurant! Its dim sum chef used to work at three-star Michelin restaurant Lung King Heen at the Four Seasons. No reservation needed.
Escape the crowds of Causeway Bay, take a break from shopping. Grab a coffee and check out their latte foam illustrations.. Read more.
awesome Xiao long bao, noodles and dumpings in a great spacious environment with good service. also kids friendly place.
the roast goose is what made Yung Kee famous, but they have so much more to offer here. Take the time to review the menu, many of the seafood dishes are excellent as well! Come with a large group!
very thoughtful chinese cuisine. only use fresh and quality ingredients. but need one month advance booking.
Normally a nice view for lunch but lots of construction going on at the moment. Awesome sandwiches- not sure about the coffee though. Is great if you get a flavored latte but otherwise a bit bland.
Old style service and awesome Dimsum. You have to flag down the taro pastry, one of my favorites. Also, the char siu pineapple buns are really good. Arrive early to avoid the queue!
This place has become famous because it was the last British governor of Hong Kong's favorite egg tart stand. Killin, to this day.
Their Dan Dan noodles are deliciously peanut buttery (and spicy). Also love their wong gum haa (prawns deep fried in salted egg yolk). But don't order them more than once a year. Cholesterol city!
Not the best congee in HK and horrendous lines at lunch but good noodle selection.
Boat trip? House warming? Family meals? CIty's super deli offers a large variety of cooked meals, from sushi, bagels, to roasted chicken, soup, etc. Lazy to cook a meal? Consider the deli bar.
Always super busy and need to wait in line, especially during weekends and pub holidays
The ample seating, clean bathrooms, and friendly staff help separate it from many of the other coffee shops in the area. Also, the 2009 HK Barista Champion is a Barista here.
Get the cranberry & cheese bread toasted. You'd think cranberry and cheese wouldn't go together, but they do so well!
The best cookies in Hong Kong! So good that one tin will not last more than 1 week. Grab a bottle of fresh pineapple juice as well.
The blueberry muffin is soft and delicious! Double milk chocolate mousse cake is classic. Chocolate passionfruit cake is so refreshing!
Everything you need is here! Grocery store, Movies, shopping, gym, even serviced apartments at the Four Seasons! Its own world!
Gotta try out the cooked jap snacks in the basement and of course u will find some of our wines in the supermarket too!
Wandering around & want to try something new? Come visit us for our weekend brunch @ $98. We are on 55th Peel Street. See you soon.
One of the hottest new places in town. Set in a very spacious venue and classily done up with warm wooden paneling and tables. Delicious pies and salads here help give the term 'gastropub' a good name
This place got a very extensive beer list. Free peanuts and you can dump it everywhere on the floor! The outside terrace is perfect for a beer after dinner/shopping.
Restaurants of this group share 4 things: Nice deco; so-so food taste; unattentive & unprofessional service; and expensive!
There is a lift in the parking lot next to IKEA that you can drop down to the food level without having to run through the whole store!
Check out the cheese cave upstairs. I wouldn't recommend this place for the food, but for wine and cheese, absolutely!!
Molecular xiao lung bao is very nicely made. A classic demonstration of molecular cuisine.
The pineapple bun (菠蘿包) is extra crispy and served hot like it should be. Apologies for taking a bite first before taking the pic ;)
Good traditional HK style breakfast, 波蘿油 (pineapple bun w/ butter), hot milk tea, what a great way to start a day!!
Very good espresso-based coffee, and a cute place to sit too, w all day breakfast and simple menu. Nice haven in the middle of Causeway Bay
Excellent Chinese restaurant! Even has a good variety of vegetarian food. Really good service
The queue forms well before opening, but the restaurant is much bigger than it looks (probably the first hundred or so people get in). Note that they don't serve no. 1 (Kau Kee Special) until dinner
We recommend the award-winning braised winter melon with Morille mushrooms - is a complete breath of fresh air. All-you-can-eat weekend dim sum feast is $198/pp, try the rose Champagne har gau.
One of HK's top Sichuan restaurants. A la carte or hotpot. Good tea smoked duck, fish in chilli oil or deep fried chilli and chicken dices. Now on 2 floors - 7/f and 22/f - check when booking.
If you can swing a window table at 8pm you get a front row seat for the light and laser show that occurs every night all over Hong Kong. Otherwise - always a great view!
"The set lunches are of exceptional value: for some $250-ish you get a whole range of high quality food, from silky soft chawanmushi (Japanese steamed egg custard) to char-grilled tenderloin steak."
Steamed milk dessert is abit too sweet for my liking but I can totally understand why people like it. Do try if you have a sweet tooth! :)
The KFC (Korean fried cauliflower, $75) has already entered the Hong Kong food pantheon. Neither too mushy nor al dente, the crisp orbs bring a touch of heat thanks to the yuzu and chilli. Read more.
Best meal you can have in Hong Kong. Make sure your meal includes the Corn tempura, grilled mushrooms, chicken meatball yakitori and KFC!! Say the crew from Dubai recommended it!!
No reservation? No problem! Show up 15 minutes before they open and ask nicely. Worked for me on a busy Saturday night. (Peking Duck in photo - it was great)
peking duck, beggar's chicken (aka fortune chicken), pulled noodle show - touristy but do it once. good food and service
This night market is one of the crown jewels of Kowloon. Vintage posters, flee market finds, and great street food. If you hit up the dark side, you have to come here!
Good vantage point to see the Symphony of Lights. Just be sure to get to the viewing deck early before it gets too crowded.
Ride the double decker bus a21 if ur headed to kowloon and tsim sha tsui. Sit at the 2nd level to have a good view of thr city

Mostly Chinese books but the few English books they stock are worth looking at as you'll find that they're unavailable at popular bookstores like PageOne or Dymocks.
The best ever world's highest bar situated at 118th floor saying by itself what an amazing place it would be... Must visit place if its your 1st time in Hongkong... Cheers!!
One of the best malls in HK, no doubt. Spacious, plenty of dining and shopping options. Been there since '97.
Free WIFI! Woo hoo! Enjoy the white noise of the waterfall and tranquil scenery while you do your work. Or not.
Very enjoyable :) free on Wednesdays! There's English subtitles for everything so don't rent the audio guide :)
it's a small worl after all.. <3 20 minutes ride and you can visit the whole world :)
Seriously, you make the effort to come to one the best scenic lookouts on the planet and you'd rather look at some crappy wax statues of has-beens?Go for a walk on Lugard Road-better view, less people
Get there early or make a reservation for a table up at the top. Or else you'll get turned away
Awesome interactive displays, great way to keep kids entertained for hours but avoid the crowds. If you come at the weekend come early
the shrimp rice flour rolls that come with an extra layer of crisp, deep-fried rice paper around its filling.

e fresh abalones that were simply pan-fried with a bit of soy and sugar and sprinkled with chilli. The way the soy caramelises on the abalone, especially the jagged edges, is delicious. E*TING BLOG
The sorbet served with the souffle is fruity and packed with flavor! The best I ever had. The peking duck wrap uses a warm fresh tortillla vs the steam bun. It comes with hoisin & garlic spread too!
Sous vide, then grilled, pink to perfection. It's so hard to get a bit of pink pork in this town, and the fact that The Salted Pig offers at a reasonable price is just the cherry on top. E*TING BLOG
