Hong Kong is one of the top Southeast Asian tourist destinations, and one of its most notable features is its cuisine. Thus, it is no surprise that Hong Kong plates up some pretty delectable dishes.
This dish is the signature dish of Sing Heung Yuen one of the last remaining Dai Pai Dongs in Hong Kong. Sing Hueng Yuen is hardly noticeable for any tourist, but it is one of the most popular restaurants amongst locals, chiefly due to its signature dish, the Tomato Egg Noodles with Condensed Milk Buns. This dish offers a perfect combination of tangy flavours with the sweetness of condensed milk, to give you a culinary experience that will leave you craving for more. The Cosmo Hotel Wan Chai Hong Kong is a recommendable Hong Kong boutique hotel within easy reach of this dining hotspot.
The Hot Pot is Hong Kong's version of fondue, but instead of hot cheese and bread you get a thick broth and meats & fish. The dish is particularly popular during the cold seasons of Hong Kong, and it is quite common to see groups of people around a Hot Pot indulging in the rich flavours. The Hop Pot has a variety of broths on offer such as Crab & Tomato topped with Egg Soufflé, English oxtail broth, or the ultra spicy Sichuan super-hot chilli escargot. With a variety of meat cuts and fish balls to dip into the sizzling Hot Pot, you can be assured of a wholesome and hearty meal every time you get a Hot Pot.
One of the most popular street foods in Hong Kong is instant noodles. But many restaurants offer their own signature spin on this staple street food. Sun Kee, a restaurant that has branches on both Wan Chai Road and Kimberly Road, offers Pork Neck Instant Noodles. The dish comes with a succulent piece of pork neck, topped off with a creamy cheese sauce on a bed of freshly prepared instant noodles.
