\"where<\/p>\n

Dai Pai Dongs (\u5927\u6392\u64cb)<\/em><\/h2>\n

Dai Pai Dong literally means “big licence stalls”. These local food stalls emerged after the Second World War when the colonial Hong Kong government issued licences to those in need so they can start their own food business and make a living. In recent years, the cruel reality of economics has unfortunately meant that not many remain today. Officially, there are less than 20 across Hong Kong, while others have moved off the streets into cooked food centres instead.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shui Kee (\u6c34\u8a18)<\/em><\/h3>\n

After 60 years in the business, Shui Kee still insists on using fresh beef<\/strong> to make its famous beef noodles \u2014 a rarity in Hong Kong today! While most restaurants have resorted to frozen meat for ease and convenience, Shui Kee\u2019s owner spends hours each day preparing and processing the fresh beef, ready for the day\u2019s orders<\/strong>. Fair warning,\u00a0the stall is located on a slope, so you’ll have to engage all your core strength and balance for lunch here. The delicious noodles are totally worth it though, I promise!<\/p>\n

What to order: <\/strong>Beef Brisket Noodles (\u725b\u723d\u8169\u9eb5),<\/em>\u00a0Flat Rice Noodles (\u725b\u723d\u8169\u8bc3\u7c89),<\/em>\u00a0Fried Dumplings (\u70b8\u96f2\u541e)

Sing Heung Yuen (\u52dd\u9999\u5712)<\/em><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re in the area around lunchtime<\/a> on a weekday, you definitely won\u2019t have missed this pick. This humble-looking stall is usually crowded with people waiting for a table, even in the peak of summer.<\/strong> The local food on offer is simple, yet emotional. Sitting here and munching up the Tomato Soup Macaroni and Lemon and Honey Toastie <\/strong>makes you think of times when life was less complex. While the food is hardly Michelin<\/a>-level, the pure comfort of the dishes on offer will have you coming back time and again.<\/p>\n

\"where<\/p>\n

Lin Heung Tea House (\u84ee\u9999\u6a13)<\/em><\/h3>\n

Nearly a hundred years<\/strong> after its opening, this tea house has closed down its iconic Wellington Street<\/strong> location and\u00a0has instead opened on Des Voeux Road<\/strong> \u2014 and still very much retains its charm<\/b>. If you\u2019re looking for some authentic dim sum with retro vibes, this place is a must-visit.<\/strong> As soon as it opens in the morning, the place is filled with seniors reading newspapers, enjoying their tea and snacking on dim sum. The menu is simple too: what you see on the dim sum trolleys is what you get\u00a0(but during busy hours, be prepared to fight for it)<\/em>. The best part is you can find many classic dim sums here that you might not find elsewhere<\/strong>, including Quail Egg Siu Mai and Pork Liver Siu Mai, to name just a few. FYI, when you arrive, you’ll be expected to find your own table (if there’s not one available, you’ll have to hover until one becomes free)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

What to order:<\/strong> Just point at whatever looks good to you, and say \u201cni gor\u201d

Luk Yu Tea House (\u9678\u7fbd\u8336\u5ba4)<\/em><\/h3>\n

Want to feel like a vintage Hong Kong movie<\/a> star<\/strong> for a few hours? Then Luk Yu is the place to be. This tea house is a little bit on the fancier side<\/strong>, but rightly so as it insists on preserving the traditional qualities of a Hong Kong tea house<\/strong>. From the interiors, utensils and, of course, the choice of dim sum on offer, this place transports you back to the 1960s<\/strong>. It’s definitely worth a visit when you next have guests in town<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cha Chaan Teng (\u8336\u9910\u5ef3)<\/em><\/h2>\n

A local food experience wouldn’t be complete without a visit to a cha chaan teng<\/a>, or Hong Kong style cafe<\/a>. These developed after the Second World War in response to the increasing influence of Western habits on the city’s food culture. While traditional Western full service restaurants were often too expensive for locals<\/strong> to dine in, cha chaan tengs became an affordable alternative<\/strong>, serving fusion twists<\/strong> on traditional European dishes.<\/p>\n

Lan Fong Yuen (\u862d\u82b3\u5712)<\/em><\/h3>\n

Since milk tea<\/a> became popular, many cafes have tried different methods to make the ultimate rich, smooth and creamy incarnation. But it is Lan Fong Yuen (open for over 70 years)<\/em> which prevailed, becoming the foundation of the style of milk tea we see across the city today<\/strong> thanks to its ‘silk stocking’ method. Don\u2019t worry, the cafe doesn’t really<\/em> use stockings to make its milk tea, but the sackcloth bag used to make the tea smoother ends up looking like a stocking because of the processing, hence the name!\u00a0Pair your tea with the Kaya French Toast for the ultimate dream team combo.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What to order:<\/strong> Milk Tea (\u7d72\u896a\u5976\u8336)<\/em>, Kaya French Toast (\u50b3\u7d71\u5496\u592e\u897f\u591a\u58eb)

If you live or work around Central, you might know Mak\u2019s Noodles on Wellington Street. However, you probably haven\u2019t heard of its older brother\u2019s stall in Sheung Wan.
