Itinerary

1. Dim Sum/Yum Cha Experience

   • The first stop of the food tour will take you to an authentic decades-old dim sum teahouse, a Michelin Guide recipient for many years until 2020. Don't let its modest interior fool you; the place is always packed with locals. 
   • Find yourself transported back to a bygone era as you sample authentic and tasty dumplings that are served out of the traditional dim sum trolley. You will not leave unsatisfied!

2. Dried Seafood Street

   • Dried seafood is a common ingredient in Chinese cooking and traditional tonics, and in Hong Kong, this trade is clustered around a section of Des Voeux Road West in Sheung Wan, commonly known as Dried Seafood Street. 
   • Come explore and learn about the medicinal properties of the dried seafood used in soups and visit a Chinese medicine shop originating from the 1940s. 

3. Tea & Candy Shop

   • Tucked away in a narrow road in the Sheung Wan area, our specialist tea purveyor sells tea, assorted candies, and other mouth-watering Chinese sweets made from fruits that have been around for more than 30 years. Kai Fat Tea means Tea Inspired House, might be small but it is one of the main tea suppliers to many restaurants and shops in Hong Kong and overseas. 
   • Have a taste of delicious candies and sweets offered by the shop on this tour. 

4. Graham Street Market

   • With more than a century’s history, Graham Street Market is a great place to experience life as a local. The sloped street is flanked by food stalls on either side, selling everything from fresh vegetables to live seafood. 
   • Along with the market, you’ll also find traditional shops selling items that make for great souvenirs. For example, founded in 1917, the Kowloon Soy Company on Graham Street is renowned for its soy sauce made with traditional techniques. Stop here to learn about the King Of Sauces. 

5. Wonton Noodle Stop

   • Located in Central this Wonton Noodle specialist is sure to satisfy. One of the oldest yet also most dynamic districts in the city, Central and Western District – encompassing the sloped streets and small alleys – encapsulates Hong Kong’s rich and diverse spirit. 
   • A place where century-old temples share the same streets as fashion-forward concept stores, or where authentic tea houses coexist with modern art galleries, this colourful neighbourhood is at once old and new while also being proudly local and unmistakably global.

6. Mid Levels Escalator

   • Experience Mid-Levels Escalator, the longest outdoor escalator in the world. It is 800 meters in the distance and elevates 135 meters up to the hilly areas that end in Conduit Road.

7. Hong Kong Milk Tea Stop

   • Located next to the escalator is a modest-looking but renowned milk tea place. The secret to the signature milk tea has been straining the brew through a pair of pantyhose for an extra smooth taste!

8. Tram / Ding Ding Ride

   • Board and enjoy the ride of Hong Kong's electric tram system. It is one of the oldest public transports in the city, first operated in 1904 under British rule, and it owns the world's largest operational double-decker tram fleet. The system, being very affordable, is also one of the most environmentally friendly ways of travelling in the city. Learn about notable buildings that you pass by. 

9. Char Sui (BBQ Pork) Stop

   • Stop at another family-run, Michelin Guide recommended restaurant, which dates back to the pre-20th century Qing Dynasty and is renowned for its Char Siu Fan (roast BBQ pork rice). It is a must-stop for everyone who claimed themselves as foodies. 
   • Try the Char Siu Fan; the pork is just the right amount of meat, fat, and sauce, the contents of which they keep a closely guarded secret. This is the late Anthony Bourdain's favourite. You will leave with a smile and a happy belly. 

10. Egg Tart Stop

    • Our last stop on the food tour is at a well-established bakery, a personal favourite of a former Hong Kong governor. 
    • Get your hands on some of the famous Egg Tart, or Dan Tat in Cantonese, a Chinese version of an English pastry — the custard tart.
