• We will start our foodie tour with a tasty sampling of dim sum meals at a 1* Michelin Dim Sum restaurant. “Dim sum” – literally means “touch your heart”, is mostly a “snack-sized” portion, served in small bamboo containers, and eaten together with Chinese tea.

• After a tasty sampling dim sum meal, it's time for us to do some exercise. We will start to walk and stop by an iconic wet market that offers a blast into the past.

• 618 Shanghai Street - This is a revitalization project comprising a total of 14 building numbers at Nos. 600 to 626 Shanghai Street, Mongkok, and our new stopping point. They include 4 post-war residential buildings and 10 pre-war shophouses which had been accorded Grade 2 Historic Buildings by the Antiquities and Monuments Office in 2010. Also, it offers a variety of local lifestyle shops. You can buy some souvenirs here.

• We will have the tasting of “Chinese BBQ” which is also known as “Siu Mei”. These are highly seasoned meats, roasted on an open fire or in a rotisserie oven, the most popular “Siu Mei” is barbecue pork (boneless), barbecue goose, and roast pork.

• We will stop at 2 more family-run tasting food stalls featuring Hong Kong’s classic food which may include sweet Tofu dessert (very silky smooth tofu with sweet syrup), the marvelous fresh baked egg tarts, or pineapple buns from the local bakery.

• While we are in this bustling corner, our local guide will let you have sample tastings of various sorts of skewers and mini egg puffs or some local street snacks that you won’t even know what they are (but they are all safe and delicious to try).

​After the tour is finished, our tour guide will keep you accompanied to return to your hotel.
