What you’ll do

You’ll join one of our food-loving Hong Kong hosts to explore Hong Kong's food culture in the heart of the colorful Kowloon neighborhood. Game changer - you’ll do so after dark. Lit by thousands of neon signs, this lively district really comes alive when the sun sets and with a name that means ‘9 dragons’, it’s no surprise.

See the most incredible views of the Symphony of Lights and Hong Kong Island’s skyline over the water before your host guides you through the maze of streets that make up this exciting area.

Eat your way around traditional night markets where vendors sell all the classics like steamed crab, cheung fun (chewy rice noodles), siu mai (a street version of a steamed dim sum classic), and fried octopus tentacles - this is where you’ll find some of the best food in the city!

Head to Dundas Street and explore the gaai, or back alleys, where you’ll find tiny bars selling drinks ranging from herbal medicines to beers!

When you are done, why not grab a seat at one of the bars with your host who will share local secrets with you, like where the locals go at 5 am to eat fried squid balls after a night of partying, and where the best underground clubs are.

Dennis was our assigned guide. It was like seeing and old Lost friend who took us around his town with knowledge, dedication and the clear objective of providing a wonderful time. Calories not withstanding he made it a most delightful few hours adding his sense of humor to the experience. Kudos to Dennis.

The food excursion that Dennis provided us with was an experience we shall not soon forget! His knowledge of the local cuisine and hidden gems is outstanding! By the end of the tour my heart and stomach were beyond filled with delicious food and fantastic time with a stellar guide!!

Heather Mar 2025

Our family all agreed that our Kowloon Night Food Tour with Pinky was the highlight of our trip. She was so engaging with our teenagers, teaching them all about the local way of living showing us all the different markets and got them all to try new foods such as snake soup, chicken feet and fermented egg. I would highly recommend doing this tour, you won’t regret it.

Karen Mar 2025

Mark was a great guide and very informative and went above and beyond by changing our planned appointment to the next day as my partner was ill. The food options were planned very well and I really enjoyed it immensely.
