ITINERARY:

At 10:00 a.m., our friendly foodie guide will meet you at your hotel and take MTR together to Wan Chai MTR station.

• We begin our tour with a tasty sampling brunch at a local “Hong Kong style café” (Cha Chang Teng) for iconic drinks like milk tea or mixed milk tea and coffee, Hong Kong-style French toast, pineapple bun with fresh butter, breakfast sandwiches and other morning specialties.

• In between our tastings, we will stop by an iconic wet market that offers a blast to the past.  Wet markets are the traditional places that sell poultry, live fish, and fresh meat which require frequent “floor washing”, this is where the name “wet market” came from.  Wet markets are usually wet, smelly, and fishy but also the places to get the freshest food at the cheapest prices.

• We will stop at three family-run tasting food stalls featuring Hong Kong’s classic food which may include samples of roast pork belly or Barbecue pork, marvelous mini egg puffs, and egg tarts from the local bakery.

• On our way, we will pay a visit to the “Blue House” which was the original site for the first hospital in the 1870s but was acquired by the government in the 1970s, and the outer walls were painted blue and were thus named the “Blue House”. During the 1960s – 1970s, Kung Fu Master, Wong Fei Hung, had a student named Lam Sai Wing, who launched a Kung Fu Studio at Blue House with his nephew. The Building also houses the “Hong Kong House of Stories” which is open to visitors.

• Toward the end of the tour, we will make a stop at Pak Tai Temple. The temple is a Taoist temple, built in 1863, and is the biggest of its kind in the city.  It consists of three halls with the main hall housing the three-meter tall copper image of Pak Tai with the images of Lung Mo (Dragon Mother) on both sides.  The temple is now listed as “a grade 1 historical building by the Antiques Advisory Committee for permanent preservation.

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