What you'll do

Feast on Hong Kong’s favorite snack, fish balls, which you’ll find served in a variety of ways, from boiled in noodle soup to fried and dipped in heady curry sauce. Then what about some dishes that’ll have you thinking twice? Snake soup is the perfect warm-up in winter, and dim sum with chicken feet is an experience for the adventurous! You’ll be glad of your host's local ordering skills when you visit a cha chan teng for Yangzhou fried rice. At these informal eateries, food is fast, cheap and wildly tasty - but there might not be a menu! Make your own mind up about the polarizing texture of fake shark fin soup and rice rolls, and indulge in silky tofu pudding from your host’s go-to street hawker for dessert.

Where you’ll go

Embrace the ultimate fusion of east and west, a collision that has produced some of the tastiest street food in the world. You’ll explore Kowloon, the raw, authentic mainland area of the city which sits on the northern shores of Victoria Harbor. Crunch down on deep-fried goodies in Mong Kok, a buzzing pocket of central Kowloon where the only thing more kaleidoscopic than the flavors are the neon lights above. Indulge in decadent roast goose and hand-made coffee in Tsim Sha Tsui, the region’s southern urban hub. Discover your host’s favorite streetside cha chan teng eateries in Nathan Road - Kowloon’s oldest street - that radiate the mesmerizing, tastebud-tingling smells of snake soup, pineapple buns, fish balls, and tofu pudding.

    Victor was a fantastic guide, with an extensive knowledge of all things Hong Kong related. We had a great time sampling traditional food throughout Kowloon and walking through the streets and local markets. I would definitely recommend Victor to anyone wanting to explore all that Hong Kong has to offer.
