Hong Kong Eats: What to Eat / Buy in Hong Kong (香港)

Hong Kong, a high-density Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China on the Pearl River Delta, is known for its skyline, deep natural harbour, and status as a global financial centre. Hong Kong’s food culture is influenced by Cantonese cuisine, British cuisine — due to it being a British colony for 156 years until its return to China in 1997 — and also non-Cantonese Chinese cuisines. Known as a “food paradise”, it features intense, fresh flavours, ranging from high-end Cantonese cuisines and fresh seafood to affordable cha chaan teng (Hong Kong-style tea cafes) and street food.

Hong Kong is world-renowned for its Cantonese dim sum, roasted meats (goose / pork / pigeon), and cha chaan teng comfort foods like wanton noodles, egg tarts, polo buns with butter, milk tea, and street snacks like curry fishballs and egg waffles.
