Feast on Dim Sum

Dim sum literally translates as “touch the heart”, although in some establishments it may also touch your wallet. The small steamed snacks in bamboo baskets are delivered by grumpy old ladies with trolleys.
Felix

If the wallet won’t stand up to a meal, just drink in the bar and watch everyone watching everyone else (see Felix).
Ferries

The fabulous Star Ferry (see Star Ferry) connects Hong Kong Island to Kowloon. Pay half the price of a cup of coffee for a first-class view of one of the world’s most remarkable harbours and skylines. Other ferries connect Hong Kong to the outlying islands and parts of the New Territories (see Getting Around Hong Kong).
Fish Balls

A daily food for many Hong Kongers, either on skewers as snacks or served with noodles in broth to make a meal. Traditional restaurants eschew machine production methods, and still shape these balls of minced fish, white pepper and other spices by hand, before poaching them in seafood or chicken stock.
Gai Jaht

Chicken and ham wrapped in soya bean sheets, served in rich sauce.
Galleries

Several en route, many specializing in the bright new wave of Chinese art.
Geomancing the Stone

Make sure your house and garden are in tune with the elements with a private feng shui consultation.
Go for a Traditional Tonic

For a taste of the real China, try a tonic restaurant. Chefs whip up dishes with all sorts of herbs, spices and dangly bits, in accordance with the principles of “heating” or “cooling” foods. A tonic lunch at the Treasure Inn Seafood Restaurant includes fried snowfrog and bamboo fungi.
Hac Sa Beach

Black mineral sand beach. Enjoy a stroll around the headland to the Westin Resort (see Westin Macau)for a drink.
Hainan Chicken

Comprising chunks of steamed chicken, served slightly warm or cold, and dipped in an aromatic oil made with spring onions and ginger, this dish has become everyday comfort food. It is traditionally accompanied by a rich chicken broth, a few vegetables and rice steamed in chicken stock for flavour.
