Hong Kong people love good food. There is a saying that the Cantonese will "eat anything with four legs except a table, and anything that flies except an aeroplane", and it's true that many of the menu items in Hong Kong (such as chicken feet, pigs ears and jellyfish) are unusual by Western tastes. That being said, people in Hong Kong are in general not as adventurous as their Cantonese-speaking counterparts in mainland China. Keep an open mind and you'll find some of the best food and some of the most enticing flavours anywhere in the world. This is a culinary tour of Hong Kong.
UnderstandAt the geographical centre of Asia, it's not just Chinese cuisine that thrives in Hong Kong.
PrepareThis itinerary assumes you're already in Hong Kong, and you won't need anything other than a credit card (for the upmarket places), some cash (for the street side food) and an empty stomach. Guide prices are from 2007.
Get in and aroundAlmost all the locations mentioned here are around central Hong Kong island and are within easy reach of each other by public transport or taxi.
Stay safeHong Kong is a very safe city, so you shouldn't find any trouble. However in crowded areas such as markets you should keep an eye on your possessions.
GoTimes Square is a popular shopping spot, and one of the landmarks in Causeway Bay.
