About this activity
This private food tour of Hong Kong with a private guide includes five foodie stops where you'll sample authentic Cantonese cuisine. Taste dim sum, wonton noodle soup, traditionally roasted meat, milk tea, and an egg tart, all eaten at local restaurants. Learn about the city's mix of British and Chinese heritage, from Guangzhou influences to Western favorites.
What to expect
Sheung Wan
west of Central, Hong Kong, China
Come and experience the elegant, exotic and hip, the old neighbourhood of Sheung Wan, it is an eclectic blend of shopping experiences dominated by traditional Chinese beliefs and businesses. Sheung Wan will be the first stop of the food tour, which will take you to an authentic decades-old dim sum teahouse, a recipient of Michelin Guide 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.
Seafood Street
Sheung Wan, Central and Western District, Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong, China
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 1940s.
Kai Fat Tea
No.132 Wing Lok Street, Hong Kong, China
Tucked away in a narrow road in Sheung Wan area, Kai Fat Tea shop selling tea, assorted candies and other mouth-watering Chinese sweets made from fruits and other natural ingredients, has been around for more than 30 years. Kai Fat Tea means Tea Inspired House, might be small but it has now become one of the tea and other of its products' 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.
Graham Street Market
Graham Street, between Queen's Road and Hollywood Road, Hong Kong, China
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 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.
Hello Hong Kong: Private & Small Group Tours
Gough Street, Central, Hong Kong, China
Right on the cusp of what used to be the home of Hong Kong Island’s European and Chinese communities, Gough Street’s sleepy pace, colonial-style chic, hip boutiques and fashionable restaurants have baited a good mix of designer homewares stores, with funky retailers contributing to one of Hong Kong’s most eclectic neighbourhoods.
Central District
Hong Kong, China
One of the oldest yet most dynamic districts in the city, Central and Western District—defined by its sloped streets and narrow alleys—captures Hong Kong’s rich and diverse spirit. Here, century-old temples sit alongside fashion-forward concept stores, while traditional tea houses coexist with modern art galleries. This colourful neighbourhood feels both old and new, proudly local yet unmistakably global. Highly walkable and filled with attractions, this area is best explored on foot. From heritage buildings and art spaces to local eats and unique souvenirs, there is plenty to discover. Whatever your interests, your guide will lead you to some of the best experiences Central has to offer. Along the way, enjoy one of Hong Kong’s best wonton noodles at a Michelin-recommended, family-run restaurant that has been operating for three generations since World War II. Its founder once served this iconic dish to Chiang Kai-shek, former president of the Republic of China.
Mid-levels Escalator
Connaught Road, Central and West Distict, Hong Kong, China
Experience Mid-Levels Escalator, the longest outdoor escalator in the world. Enjoy and observe the vibrant city life while you take on a 15 minutes ride on the escalator. It is 800 meters in distance and elevates 135 meters up to the hilly areas that end in Conduit Road. Here you will hop off the escalator and stop at a modest-looking milk tea place. It’s more than 52 years old and that’s down to one simple thing: the pantyhose. The secret to Lan Fong Yuen’s signature milk tea has been straining the brew through, you guessed it, a pair of pantyhose for an extra smooth taste.
Tai Kwun
10 Hollywood Road, Central, Hong Kong, China
Tai Kwun presents a wide range of heritage, contemporary art, performing arts and lifestyle experiences in the restored and revitalised Central Police Station compound, which comprises three Declared Monuments, the former Central Police Station, the Central Magistracy and Victoria Prison. It is the recipient of the Award of Excellence in the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation 2019.
Hong Kong Tramways (Ding Ding)
Hong Kong, China
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.
Wan Chai
Hong Kong, China
Explore one of the city’s coolest, most dynamic areas, with a heady mix of old and new, and East meets West, and where hip bars and happening restaurants mix with old tenement buildings and hidden temples among the district’s towering skyscrapers. Best explored on foot, Wan Chai District offers a wealth of heritage hideaways and modern hot spots — be they nightlife, dining, shopping or cultural — that make it an essential stop for any visitor. Here our food tour stops 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 (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.
Hong Kong Hennessy Road
Wan Chai District, Hong Kong, China
Here we will proceed to a well-established bakery, a personal favorite 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.
Southorn Playground
Hong Kong, China
Packed with spectators, sportsmen, and people who want to get away for a quick break from the office and have a bite to eat while watching the crowd goes by, the sports and recreational ground in Wan Chai is the perfect place to end the tour, accompanied with a bite of a nice and creamy egg tart from the bakery. A sweet ending of a food tour indeed.
