Public Group Food Tour Review
Sheung Wan
We started our tour in the very busy and vibrant neighborhood of Sheung Wan.
Known for shopping, with its side streets filled with traditional dry seafood and herbal medicine shops.
Our tour started at 09:30 am and I was awake early in the morning and I didn’t have a bite to eat as recommended.
So I was all set to start – food sampling!
Dim Sum
Our first stop of the morning was to a very well known Dim Sum restaurant, that has been in business for over 85 years. The restaurant was packed upon our arrival!
This is a great indication the food must be excellent, and it certainly was!
Our friendly and very informative guide (Nicole), ordered some restaurant favorites for us to sample.
Her selections were outstanding!
I’ve had {Dim Sum} many times in 🍁 Western Canada where I live, but this was exceptional. There was plenty to eat for everyone and what a great start to the tour.
Traditional Dry Seafood and Medicine Shops
After enjoying a number of excellent Dim Sum samples, it was time to take a 🚶 stroll to our next location, with a few interesting stops along the way.
This part of the city is well known for its traditional dry seafood and herbal medicine shops.
Nicole filled our group in on the history of these shops in this area. As well, the many health benefits believed to be associated with the vast variety of interesting and unique items for sale.
Can you guess what I’m holding? 🙂
Wonton Noodle Shop
This is one shop I was eager to try, as I have enjoyed eating 🥣 Wonton Noodle Soup in Vancouver, British Columbia’s Chinatown for over 35 years!
I was anxious to compare the soup to that in which I have enjoyed for so long back at home.
This was another small but very popular Wonton Noodle restaurant that’s been around since the 1960’s. The soup was superb and as good or if not better than what our kitchen chefs serve in Vancouver.
I could live on this soup! 🙂
Visiting Hong Kong Street Markets
It was then on to our next stop and along the way, Nicole led us through one of the many popular street markets.
This is where locals shop for their fresh 🍅 vegetables, 🐟 fresh fish and so much more. A buzz of activity and certainly something not to be missed when visiting Hong Kong.
Milk Tea
While strolling in the marketplace, Nicole has us sample a British tradition dating back many years, here in the city. This is a nice refreshing iced tea with milk drink, or more commonly referred to as –‘Milk Tea’
It definitely hit the spot on this very ☀ hot and humid day, or least I thought it was!
Riding The Street Rail Tram Car To Wan Chai
Next, it was time for a ride on Hong Kong’s traditional 🚋 Street Rail Tram, or more commonly referred to as the; ‘Ding Ding Tram’ by locals.
Time for a relaxing ride, moving on to the district of – Wan Chai.
After exiting the Tram, we walked a short distance to a favorite bakery in this part of the city, that serves one of the more popular treats among locals, the mouth watering 🥧 Egg Tart. Our tarts were oven fresh and still warm when handed to us.
It’s hard to eat just one of these Old British favorites!
Egg Tart
Our last stop and with bellies bursting, we made our way to yet another ever so popular restaurant, to sample their delicious specialty – roasted meats.
Roasted Meats
Served with rice and vegetable, this was a great way to end our tour and thank goodness, as we were all stuffed at this point!
This was an outstanding 🚶 walking food tour that takes place on Hong Kong Island.
For Foodie lovers, this is a food tour that definitely should not be missed when visiting Hong Kong. Our guide was very professional and knowledgeable, continually letting us know the history behind the areas and establishments visited throughout the tour.
Nicole also made sure at all times, that we were all well fed and taken care of. She was an excellent tour guide!
What a great way to sample the local dishes and receive an in-depth history lesson at the same time.
I highly recommend taking a 🏙 Hello Hong Kong Food Tour when visiting the city, you definitely will be glad you did!
