Have your ever wondered what meal you’d be served if you happened to visit Hong Kong city? Wonder no more because here’s your guide to the best restaurants and eateries in Hong Kong which will leave you wanting to have a second stomach.
1. Mak’s Noodles:
You may have heard of Wantons. But if you haven’t then let us tell you it’s shrimp wrapped delicately in a ravioli pocket and served with chewy egg noodles. Mak’s Noodles serves perhaps the best of these Wantons you’d find in the entire world. Even in Hong Kong, serving up this standard of the food is fast dying and the Kale that is served as a side dish is unbeatable and typically tender.

8. Australian Dairy Company:
Although the name suggests otherwise but the products in this place have nothing to do with Australia. It’s a very Hong Kong style restaurant with a menu that would be better suited for breakfast. Even the custard served here is preferred by some to be better than that served at Yee Shun.
9. King of Coconut:
If you’re tired of your day’s adventures and want just a drink to freshen you up then the coconut juice served at King of Coconut is definitely worth giving a try. Blended freshly with evaporated milk and coconut, it’s rich and creamy, with a slight buttery taste.
