On Day 37 of our Round The World Trip For Food, we continued the food tour of Hong Kong starting with a classic Hong Kong breakfast of lemon tea and a beef and scrambled egg sandwich. We then had some delicious bamboo pounded noodles and wonton, and then continued to have dinner at a famous dai pai dong.

00:29 Sun Hang Yuen (新香園 堅記 Thank you to Josephine for this recommendation) – For breakfast in Hong Kong we headed over to Sham Shui Po and went to a classic Hong Kong cafe and restaurant called Sun Hang Yuen (新香園 堅記). I ordered my usual hot lemon tea, a glass of black tea with a half of a lemon chopped up inside. It was wonderful. We then had a beef and scrambled egg sandwich, which was surprisingly much better than I thought it was going to be. The bread was toasted wonderfully and the beef and eggs on the inside tasted so good, fried in what I think was butter. Total price – 33 HKD ($4.25)

4:58 Sham Shui Po market – After eating breakfast we walked around the Sham Shui Po market, a local fresh wet market in Hong Kong. The market was busy and stocked with everything you could imaging that goes into Hong Kong food.

6:29 Kwan Kee Bamboo Noodle (坤記竹昇面) – There are many famous restaurants in Hong Kong that serve egg noodles and wonton, but I really wanted to find a restaurant that specialized in bamboo kneaded noodles, which is becoming harder and harder to find in Hong Kong. So finally I found a place called Kwan Kee Bamboo Noodle (坤記竹昇面), a new restaurant that uses the owner’s family recipe and technique for making his noodles. I was hoping to get to see the noodles being made, but unfortunately they weren’t making them at the time we got there to eat. Nevertheless, the noodles were still made using a bamboo pole to knead the dough. The noodles were amazing, had such a fantastic texture to them, and the wontons were equally as delicious. It was a fantastic noodle eating experience in Hong Kong. Total price – 84 HKD ($10.83)

13:11 Mong Kok, Ladies Market – Mongkok is one of the most famous areas in Hong Kong for shopping, and we walked around the area for a little bit. Ladies Market is a walking street flea market where you’ll find everything from clothes to souvenirs to luggage.

16:40 Tsim Sha Tsui, Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade, Star Ferry – 2.3 HKD ($0.30) – After walking around Mongkok we took the bus over to Tsim Sha Tsui to walk around and enjoy the views of the skyline of Hong Kong.

18:26 Tung Po Restaurant at Java Road Market (Thank you to Charles for this recommendation) – For dinner, we went to Java Road Market, and to a restaurant called Tung Po, that’s a well known dai pai dong restaurant within the market. They serve a huge menu of different Cantonese and even Thai dishes. My wife and I ordered a couple of different dishes, the highlight of the meal being the razor clams stir fried in black bean sauce. In addition to the food, the ambiance of the restaurant is exactly what you want in Hong Kong. Total price – 464 HKD ($59.83)

26:00 A Symphony of Lights – Finally to end this day of food in Hong Kong we went back to Tsim Sha Tsui to see the symphony of lights show.

  1. We in Europe knead the dough as well with poles but with our own man poles. Only the stiffest can achieve an acceptable result. Especially the ladies love that umami flavor.

  2. hongkong merchants are indifferent and no respect for these kind of efforts..just ruthless idiots only after money
    zero service and exorbitant price dont go there

  3. You have great shows with details of the countries you visit and perfect video shots of each and every place you visit, those aerial shots are great too. It's so good, that I don't have to travel anywhere but the only thing I'm missing out on is the food not all of it but some. Keep up the good work Mark and it's also nice that you have your wife and baby traveling with you.

  4. oh, nearly 60$ for that dinner, how many people for that please?
    I'm going to HK in May this year, their foods are kinda expensive in my opinion.

  5. Dai Pai Dong literally means big line up gathering place/quarter.

    Dai – Big , Pai – a rack of something , Dong – quarter / gathering place.

  6. Well I must say that, there is many better place for wonton noodles soup, such as Mak Noodles…. Furthermore, you have to put some vinegar over the wonton before eating, you should have put lesser of chilly instead of destroying the broth, that's Hong Kong way to eat wonton noodles soup by the way… Anyway you should have tried the street food snacks of Hong Kong too…
