Great places to enjoy traditional food in Hong Kong

Here's a list of Great places to enjoy traditional food in Hong Kong recommended by our experts:

On a Hong Kong holiday, the one thing you’re guaranteed is an amazing, absolutely incredible dining experience. Food is a big part of the city’s DNA. Recognized as one of the best culinary destinations in Asia, the city of Hong Kong is defined by a large number of venues and cuisines to keep foodies intrigued. From street food at roadside stalls to world-class, Michelin starred gourmet restaurants, Hong Kong offers a stunning variety of choices when it comes to dining out. Many of the restaurants in Hong Kong have been influenced by both Eastern and Western cultures. Traditional food in Hong Kong, however, has a special charm (aside from tasting absolutely divine!) and is a style and cuisine you and your family/friends must heartily explore. Over 90 percent of the residents in Hong Kong are Chinese – either Cantonese, Teochew, Hakka, or Shanghainese. There are a handful of great places for traditional Cantonese cuisine to make a feast of! Enjoy a traditional breakfast that includes congee (rice porridge) and yau cha kwai (oil fried bread sticks), if you are not particularly in the mood for sausages and mash. Or sample some local delicacies and popular traditional favourites like beef brisket. With over 90 years of history on Gough Street, Kau Kee still never fails to deliver its most popular Beef Brisket Noodles in Clear Broth. What distinguishes Kau Kee from other noodle restaurants is that they only serve Beef Brisket in clear broth and curry soup. Drop in to Aberdeen Seafood Restaurant for cha chaan teng (tea restaurants commonly found in Hong Kong, Macau and parts of Guangdong) comfort food delights. These local diners are where Hong Kongers sate their appetite for almost anything at almost any time. They are known for eclectic and affordable menus, which include dishes from Hong Kong cuisine and Hong Kong-style Western cuisine. Gorge on instant noodles with eggs and sausage, toast with condensed milk and butter, and local style coffee and milk tea with all the trimmings. Here is a definitive list of the best places for traditional food in Hong Kong:
