CITY OF CONTRASTS: EAST MEETS FUTURE
The Story of Hong Kong's Evolution
This city has more
skyscrapers than any other place on Earth (like, seriously - over 480 buildings taller than
150 meters!). But between these modern giants, you'll find traditional medicine shops
that have been mixing herbs for over a century, and dai pai dongs (street food stalls) that
have fed generations of Hong Kongers.

culinary delights of hong kong
Hong Kong’s dining scene is a magnificent collision of time-honored traditions and bold innovation, where Michelin stars twinkle alongside decades-old family recipes. In this city, food isn’t just sustenance – it’s an art form that brings people together, whether in a luxurious dining room or at a bustling street corner.
Yung Kee Restaurant - Central
This legendary establishment has reinvented itself for modern times while keeping its soul intact, earning fresh acclaim for its perfect balance of heritage and innovation. The recent renovation has transformed the space into a stunning tribute to Hong Kong’s golden era, while the kitchen continues to serve some of the city’s most celebrated Cantonese dishes.
Local’s Order: Skip the famous roast goose (yes, really!) and go for the less-known but equally magnificent char siu paired with their cloud-soft liu sha bao (molten custard buns) – trust us on this one.
Coordinates: 22.2825° N, 114.1541° E
The Chairman - Central
Consistently ranked among Asia’s best restaurants, The Chairman has become the poster child for modern Cantonese cuisine done right. Their farm-to-table philosophy and dedication to time-honored cooking techniques have created a dining experience that feels both innovative and deeply rooted in tradition.
Local’s Order: Their steamed fresh flowery crab has reached legendary status, but insiders know to also order the soy sauce-braised sugar snap peas with fresh shrimp roe.
Coordinates: 22.2847° N, 114.1516° E
Samsen - Wan Chai
Hidden in a quiet corner of Wan Chai, this Thai noodle specialist has become the talk of the town for its absolutely authentic flavors and electric atmosphere. The tiny space fills up quickly with a mix of locals and visitors, all drawn by the intoxicating aromas wafting from the open kitchen.
Local’s Order: While everyone lines up for the signature boat noodles, savvy diners know to order the Wagyu beef pad kra pao with a crispy fried egg on top – it’s pure comfort in a bowl.
