You will find that dining out in Hong Kong is an adventure that you simply cannot miss out on. Venture out and explore the world of ethnic food and other offerings available in the multitude of restaurants.

No trip to Hong Kong is complete without experiencing the delightful tradition of dim sum. Visiting one of the multitude of teahouses for breakfast or lunch and enjoying the delicate offerings will give your tastebuds a treat. To experience authentic dim sum, go to Lin Heung in Central. You cannot make reservations, so getting a seat and snagging food off the carts will give you something to chuckle over for many years. It is an art you will have to master quickly in order to eat in a timely manner.

There are some foods that you must try when in Hong Kong. If you are ready to eat some truly succulent meat, Hong Kong has incredible roast goose, pork and duck. These items are usually served with noodles or rice. Another taste experience is a type of rice pudding called congee.

For those with a taste for seafood, it doesn’t get much better than Hong Kong’s seafood. There are a variety of places along the coast where you can dine on fresh seafood. The restaurants that specialize in seafood have tanks that the marine life is kept alive in until it is cooked and served. It is not unusual to see bamboo clams, abalone, and conch appearing on the menu with a broad range of other seafood. You will want to educate yourself before you go so that you are not feasting on rare and endangered sea creatures. Avoid buying shark fin soup, as this is a senseless slaughter solely for the fin.

Another tasty delicacy to try while enjoying Hong Kong is snake meat. Widely available in the winter, there are numerous restaurants that specialize in it.

Teochew restaurants are also relatively easy to find. The braise goose is very good and no Teochew meal is complete without a yam dessert.

There is no shortage of eateries in Hong Kong and the menus can be incredibly different from pace to place. For the adventurous diner, meals could be the high point of their visit to Hong Kong. One place that everyone should go is to Lin Heung and experience dim sum unlike any you’ve ever experienced before.
