“A dream of Manhattan, arising from the South China Sea.” For succinctness, modern travel writer Pico Iyer’s description of Hong Kong has yet to be bettered. From opium port to Cold War enclave to frenetic financial capital, Hong Kong has never been boring. This is the hedonistic engine room of cultural fusion: East meets West in high style, and the results astonish and delight. Prepare to experience one of the most dramatic urban environments ever conceived.

In Hong Kong, you have to try everything, especially things that sound a little out of the ordinary.
This is an interesting place to have breakfast. You'll get to see what the locals like to have in the morning to start the day.
Steamed milk, steamed egg, sramble eggs, toast, French toast, macaroni or spaghetti in soup - all served in its very Hong Kong way. And not forgetting to try the Hong Kong style milk tea (奶茶) or the Yuanyang drink (milk tea & coffee beverage) with your breakfast!

Run by Maxim's, they serve reasonably priced yummy-licious Dim Sum and Cantonese cuisine at the City Hall Chinese Restaurant.
Best time to go is first thing they open - to get a table with a view to the harbour. The queue tend to grow at a rapid speed both in the morning and during lunch, but the efficient staff always gets customers seated happily.
It's sometimes easy to get yourself confused in the wrong crowd upon your arrival at the City. There is a wedding registry within the same building!
They serve Dim Sums in the traditional way, you can pick your dishes from the trolleys that come around your table! Definitely an interesting dining experience.

This is a family run restaurant in Central, tucked away along Wellington Street. With its unassuming front, this place is a gem in the middle of the busy Central. The friendly owners originate from Shanghai, they make extremely good Jiaozi (Chinese Dumpling) and interesting side dishes. Don't miss the chance taste the Hawthorn Tea, or the Soya drink too!
If you visit early in the day, you might catch a glimpse of the Jiaozi in production - yes, it's all fresh!
