>> 9 Fantastic Tourist Spots in Hong Kong
1. Fast Food: If you're a selective eater seeking a safe culinary option, visit fast-food joints like McDonald's, KFC, Burger King, or Hainanese chicken rice. Hong Kong has many such establishments, with meal prices starting from $45-60 Hong Kong dollars ($).
2. Seafood Delights: Explore numerous eateries along Hennessy Road, the main street on Hong Kong Island, near the shopping hub Sogo in Causeway Bay
3. Chinese Hot Pot: The well-known 'Four Seasons' brand has several locations, choose the one closest to your hotel.
How to Order: English menus are available. Check your preferred dishes and hot pot broth type. Note: The restaurant tends to exceed customer requests, so order slightly less than you think. Then, carefully review the bill.
4. Spicy Hot Pot: A Korean restaurant in Causeway Bay, discreetly located opposite the Sogo shopping center. It's on the top floor of the Watson store (next to Giordano). The price for one adult serving is over 100 Hong Kong dollars. If you get tired of the spicy hot pot, opt for the wet pot for an additional $18 for the broth.
5. Solo Hot Pot: In fast-food joints like Dai Gia Lac (Cafe de Coral) or Lumix, you can find single-person hot pots, priced around 68 Hong Kong dollars. It's a meal for two, so bring a friend.
6. If you're on Hong Kong Island, Under Bridge Spicy Crab is a must-try. It's highly renowned, with four locations sharing the same address and owner, ensuring consistent quality.
Three locations on Lockhart Road, and one at 414-424 Jaffe Road (all in Wanchai, Hong Kong). The one on Jaffe Road is preferable, tucked away at the back, not as crowded as the three on the main street, resulting in a quieter atmosphere and attentive service.
The three locations on Lockhart Road mainly cater to tour groups, crowded and noisy. The venue on Jaffe Road is more serene with a fresher feel to the food. The menu includes both English descriptions and pictures, making it easy to order.
7. If you're in the Kowloon Peninsula, don't miss the Lei Yue Mun fishing village.
How to get there: Take the MTR to Yau Tong station, then grab a short taxi ride. The village offers numerous restaurant choices with fresh and diverse seafood, expertly prepared. The proprietors here are welcoming and avoid tourist traps. Opt for a spot with a view of the nearby lake for an exceptional experience.
8. Sai Kung Seafood: This location is the furthest, with expensive transportation, but it's acclaimed as the best in Hong Kong. No MTR station is nearby, so you'll need a taxi. Alternatively, reach Hang Hau station, then take a more cost-effective taxi ride to Sai Kung Town, Hoi Pong Square.
Along the coastline are countless restaurants, each with numerous seafood tanks akin to... Ocean Park. Dining here is a true seaside experience, especially enjoyable outdoors. On weekends, Hong Kong locals flock here in large numbers.
9. Modern Toilet (a restaurant where dishes and utensils resemble... toilets)
+Address in Mongkok: Shop 3B, 3rd floor, MPM, 240-244 Portland Street, Mongkok (take the MTR to Mongkok station, exit C4/E1). Open from 12 PM to 12 AM.
+ Modern Toilet in Causeway Bay: Shop 4E, 4th floor, Capital Centre, 5-19 Jardine’s Bazaar, Causeway Bay (take the MTR to Causeway Bay station, exit F). Directly across the street, you'll spot a large Watson’s convenience store. Enter and take the escalator up.
Additionally, on the 3rd floor of this building (below Modern Toilet) is the delicious Korean hot pot restaurant Honwu. If you're not into the toilet theme, here's another choice for you. The hot pot prices are very reasonable. During happy hour, it's under $100 per person, and the buffet is extensive. In the evening peak, it's only around $120 per person. Note: the best dish is the beef ribs. If you get tired of grilling, you can switch to a regular hot pot for just an additional $18.
