This is a famous baked tart in Hong Kong which is filled with egg custard in the middle. They are super delicious as they have a very silky custard and a crumbly pastry that melts in your mouth. You will never get bored of this egg tart. They are best served in hot condition. You can find them mostly in bakery shop.

Yum cha is always the best option for lunch in Hong Kong. It is also called "Dimsum", which is a type of Cantonese style cuisine, involving drinking tea and eating dim sum. Chinese tea is an essential in Yum Cha and dim sum are all in snack-sized portions which can be shared with everyone. It is a place for people to catch up with each other and chill for the whole afternoon. In traditional way, dim sum are usually being served with push-able trolleys. With on-going improvements, push-able trolleys are now changed to paper-based ordering system. Have a try, you will never regret it.


3. Chinese barbecue

Chinese barbecue, is called "Siu Mei" as well, are barbecued meats which are highly seasoned and roasted over an open fire or oven. They are usually hanging behind the transparent window so that it is visible to the people from the street. It is impossible for you to miss this type of food in Hong Kong. This cuisine has a lot of freedom, you can pair your own favourite roast meats with rice or noodles. Barbecued pork is the most famous dish, as it is a seasoned boneless pork which barbecued with honey, rice wine and spices etc. Super yummy!
