Hong Kong is one of my favorite city in the world. It’s not only a shopping paradise for shopaholics but also a food haven for foodies like me 🙂 There are a variety of food choices from street food to Michelin-star restaurant that you’ll be spoilt for choices.
Here are some of the must eat food when you’re in Hong Kong :-
1) Australian Dairy Company (澳洲牛奶公司)
Australian Dairy Company 澳洲牛奶公司 is one of the famous cha chaan teng in Hong Kong. Service is quite bad here; you have to order fast, eat fast and be prepared to queue for an hour just to get a table :/ Why come here then? Coz they serve the best scrambled egg with toast! The scrambled egg is very fluffy, crispy outside but soft inside….its just purr-fect!!!

9) Mammy Pancake (媽咪雞蛋仔)
One of the famous street food in HK has got to be egg waffles or also known as eggettes. While most people will go North Point for egg waffles, I personally love the egg waffles from Mammy Pancake 媽咪雞蛋仔. There are a variety of flavors to choose from chocolate, chocolate chip, taro, green tea and red bean, sesame, cheese, sweet potato, original and mango to name a few. The bite sized egg waffles are superbly crispy on the outside but inside it’s very soft. Just can’t stop biting it!

10) Yue Hing (裕興大排檔)
Yue Hing 裕興大排檔 is a Dai Pai Dong stall in Central serving simple but superbly delicious sandwiches and instant noodles. The menu is fairly simple : you either order sandwich or noodles 🙂 One of the must order at Yue Hing 裕興大排檔 is their perfectly toasted sandwich with ham, vegetables and generously slathered with peanut butter (yes, it’s peanut butter)! It’s sinfully delicious! Also, their instant noodles are served with luncheon meat omelette which is very good! It may not be a healthy choice of breakfast but you wouldn’t mind the calories Coz it’s seriously good 😉
