What to Try in Hong Kong

Gastronomic enthusiasts will find Hong Kong a paradise for Chinese cuisine. Whether you prefer a humble eatery or an upscale restaurant, there's a dining establishment around every corner.

Wondering what's worth savoring at these places? Among Hong Kong's iconic dishes, we highly recommend:

• Noodles: Often served in a flavorful broth with options like meat meatballs or shrimp wontons. Variations include bamboo shoots, pork, and more.

• Egg Tarts: These delightful treats are beloved by both locals and tourists. They consist of a pastry cup filled with creamy egg custard and are considered one of the most popular local desserts.

• Peking Duck: This dish is a hallmark of Chinese cuisine and is a must-try when in Hong Kong. The tender duck with its crispy crust simply melts in your mouth!

• Fish Balls: These popular snacks can be found at every corner in Hong Kong and are enjoyed by 38 million people daily. They are typically served in a spicy curry sauce.
• Hogo (Chinese Hot Pot): While not a dish in itself, it's a local ritual. A pot of boiling broth is placed on the table, surrounded by various thinly sliced ingredients such as meat, seafood, vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, and more. Each person at the table chooses their favorites, cooks them in the broth, and flavors them with sauce.
