About the Tour

Since 2014, our Hong Kong Island food tour has introduced thousands of guests to the flavors, stories, and soul of this culinary capital. This is the original and award-winning Hello! Hong Kong food tour—updated and refined, but still true to its roots.

You’ll begin with dim sum in a 90-year-old tea house, where dishes still arrive on clattering trolleys. Then, slurp handmade wonton noodles from a family-run shop loved by the Michelin Guide. Sip silky milk tea, ride the iconic Ding Ding tram, and feast on roast meats in a historic Cantonese kitchen once praised by Anthony Bourdain.

Throughout the tour, we explore not just what Hongkongers eat—but why. From East-meets-West fusion to preserved snacks, soy sauce traditions, herbal medicine, and old-school wet markets, you’ll get a real taste of the city’s layered culture.

We’ll walk around 3km through Sheung Wan, Central, and Wan Chai, stopping to explore historic buildings, bustling alleys, and stories from Hong Kong’s unique past.

 

What We Eat

  • Dim Sum: Classic Cantonese small plates served the traditional way—in a historic teahouse bustling with atmosphere.
  • Wonton Noodles: Delicate shrimp dumplings in a light broth, perfected over generations by a Michelin-recommended kitchen.
  • Hong Kong Milk Tea: Bold, velvety, and full of character—this beloved beverage reflects the city’s colonial past.
  • Char Siu (BBQ Pork): Sweet, smoky slices of pork from a roast meat shop celebrated by food critics around the world.
  • Egg Tart: Flaky pastry and silky custard—a perfect East-meets-West treat with deep roots in Hong Kong’s baking heritage.
  • Bonus Stops: Depending on the day, you may also visit a preserved fruits shop, dried seafood stall, soy sauce maker, or Chinese medicine shop.
