| FINE DINING Hong Kong's cuisine is world famous for its exotic fusion of Eastern and Western flavors along with a wide variety of culinary delights. A wide variety of Oriental and Western restaurants are found everywhere in Hong Kong, while the best among all can be found in major hotels. As an international city, many cultures and tastes are represented in Hong Kong's world of dining. Whether you want to pick up a snack or dress to a theme, Hong Kong's gourmet delights are plentiful 24/7. Dim Sum It will be a big loss to visit Hong Kong without sampling its most famous dim sum. Exquisitely shaped, bite-size portions of dumplings with lightly seasoned fillings of meat and seafish, freshly steamed fluffy soft buns with various ingredients and glutinous rice. Enjoy these mouth-watering delicacies served in little bamboo steamers with a pot of aromatic Chinese tea is simply an ideal way to start the day. Hot Pot There are many Chinese restaurants in Hong Kong that offer Hot Pot Dinner Buffet, an all-you-can-eat feast with all kinds of meat, seafood, vegetables and a large variety of drinks. The Chinese really love to eat, drink and be merry, and what better way to do this than to have some dinner companions eating the ingredients, drinking the soup and generally making merry over the cook-it-yourself hot pot. Although the Seafood Another must try in Hong Kong, is seafood. There are a few popular spots for delicious and fresh seafood - Saikung, Lamma Island and the Floating Restaurant in Aberdeen. Usually they would let you choose the fresh seafood outside the restaurant and they will cook for you according to the way you want. Hawker Food You can easily find many food vendors in Hong Kong. From tidbits to appetizers to a more filling meal, these hawkers are trademarks of any Asian region. Visitors can sample varieties of hawker food along the streets or at night markets. The popular dishes include the wantan noodle (wan-ton meen), beef noodle (ngau lam meen), soy bean curd with syrup (tau fu fa), and fishballs on sticks (yu tan). And if you are brave enough for something new, you should try the smelly bean curd (chau tau fu), which is Hong Kong's delicacy. |
