If you want that true local dining experience in HK, check this place out if you're in Tsuan Wan…read more Or even stop by because it's a short walk from the Tsuen wan train station. It's open all the time and offers piping fresh pineapple buns along with other assortments of buns and egg tarts that can be purchased right outside to go or ordered while you're at the table. You seat yourself when you walk in then they'll take your order once seated. The check is brought to you ahead of time but you won't pay until you bring the check up to the counter when you're done. Definitely a cheap eats option as we had two meals along with two pineapple buns and egg tarts for only around $15 US!! Downside is that it's cash only, they didn't accept credit cards.

Such a hole in the wall place that I wouldn't have ever known about if it wasn't for my cousins. I…read morealways make a trip here whenever I come back and visit relatives in Hong Kong because I love their porridge as well as their fried donut wrapped in rice paper. Although there are restaurants in LA that serve both, it's their spicy sauce that makes everything taste so much better. It's also extremely cheap to eat here and there's usually not a line. Plus, they're open 24 hours so that's always a good thing for those who like to party and are hungover. Just a heads up for non-locals, once you order and the food arrives at your table, the ladies working there will ask you to pay for your meal. So have your cash ready to go.

Reservations are highly recommended as this place gets busy, especially during the weekend. There was actually some mixed up with our reservations but luckily, we came on a weekday when the restaurant is not as busy. There are a ton of choices from the soup base to the hot pot ingredients. Pick whatever you like but make sure you order some beef and fried bamboo (one of my friend named it the "jingle bells" - how fitting!). They are excellent here. Apparently, I only realized then that not all my friends liked lunch meat in their hot pot... If Shing Kee is a little close to where I live, I probably come here a lot more often. Unfortuately, it's all the way in Shatin.

Sha-Tin Buddies offered an authentic Hong Kong experience with its food and decor. Although the…read moreprices here were slightly higher than other similar Hong Kong style restaurants（茶餐廳) nearby, it attracted locals and tourists like myself because of the quality of its food and its rather spacious interiors that enabled us to comfortably enter with our stroller. We arrived in the afternoon just in time for their signature fresh-out-of-the-oven egg custard tart (蛋撻). We ordered one regular ($7 HKD) and one in pandan flavor ($10 HKD). In my opinion, you are better off saving those 3 bucks and stick with the regular because the regular egg custard tart was simply divine! Never had I tried an egg custard tart with such a perfect balance of custard bursting with the taste of fresh egg along with a buttery crust that's flaky yet firm enough to not fall apart after the first bite. We also ordered a lunch combo with a bowl of instant noodle served in a tomato broth with pork, a buttered toast, an egg omelet with black truffle on top. Instant noodle is a classic dish at typical Hong Kong style restaurants but the tomato broth that was sweet and a bit tangy took this humble dish to another level. On the other hand, the black truffle omelet was simply gimmicky and the "butter" on the toast tasted like margarine, which my sister-in-law already warned us. As a part of the combo, the meal also came with a silky milk tea that I thoroughly enjoyed sip after sip. If I am ever in the area again, I will probably stop by to order some egg custard tarts to go.

3.5/5, +.5 for service…read more In my last two visits to HK, I stayed at the Courtyard just down the road from Shek Mun Station. I had intended to visit here when I stayed in 2024, but wasn't able to. I was finally able to on my final day of my Asia trip, before taking the bus to the airport. I liked the interior design of this place, with lots of resemblance of HK street life, as well as a MTR-like map that mixes actual Tuen Ma Line stations with popular HK style cafe items. I had the satay beef instant noodles with scrambled egg and toast. It was good! The satay had a flavourful taste, and the scrambled egg was exactly how it should be: layered and relatively smooth. Service was efficient here. I definitely prefer this place over the two HK style cafes down the road closer to the hotel.

We saw a…read morebunch of people lining up even before the restaurant opens... so we joined in on the fun too :) My jaws dropped when the hostess took us to our table. It was SO aesthetically BEAUTIFUL inside, and so was the food! The tablewear was also very funky, we had a good laugh! Mom and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience! Food was hot and delicious; we shared the following dishes: 1. Signature Roasted White King Pigeon - it was very juicy and tasty 2. Dim Sum Platter with 5 different items - each item was very unique! 3. Beetroot Shrimp Dumplings - these pink dumplings with gold edges are SO PRETTY. I wish we could order more! This is one place I would highly recommend to you all, especially instagrammers! There are more than one Social Place; this particular one is in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong. You can get here by exiting MTR Tsuen Wan Station and walk towards Citywalk 1 Shopping Mall. (FYI, there is a Citywalk 2).

I like this local congee spot :) A local relative suggested 坤記粥品 for some delicious comfort food…read more He highly recommended the minced beef congee and the doughstick wrapped with rice rolls. The atmosphere and the seating is not exactly the greatest but service here is fast, and congee comes out piping hot. We ordered one minced beef congee each, and shared a doughstick wrapped with rice roll. To be honest, I don't really like the latter because it gets saggy really fast. I would prefer having just the doughstick on its own. To enjoy the minced beef congee: 1. RAW minced beef is first served in the bottom of bowl 2. Then add boiling hot white congee to top the bowl 3. Cook the beef by stirring it constantly with the congee until the red meat turns slightly brown. 4. Your bowl of congee is ready to eat :) 坤記粥品 is located just right in front of a bus stop, perfect to take the bus out to the nearest MTR subway station or out to the city. You don't have to come all the way into Kwai Chung, Hong Kong just for the congee, only if you're in the area. P.S. Menu is only in Chinese, cash only.
