Tourist Entertainment Guide For Hong Kong

There is just so much food here, in so many different ambiences, priced at so many different rates, flavoured by so many herbs, that it’s quite delightfully mind-boggling really. Indian curry houses rub noses with Brit pubs, which in turn rub shoulders with Japanese sushi kitchens. Cantonese dim sums are Hong Kong’s specialities and you’ll find yourself wafting off in the direction of dim sum stalls, lured by the wisps of aroma that float out of them.

American fast food chains are well represented here and to give them company (and competition) there are Chinese fast food parlours. You’ll be able to dine in impeccable restaurants and chow down in chaotic eateries; there is some great grub here for all palates and any wallet. You can start the day with any - a tuck in at a 5-star restaurant’s buffet spread or with croissants and coffee at a western café or with leaf tea and dim sums at a Cantonese eatery. End the day amidst the clutter and clatter of the floating restaurants in Aberdeen Harbour. SoHo (SOuth of HOllywood Road) with its exclusive boutique restaurants is for anyone with an evolved culinary sense.

You may think the phrase ‘born to party’ was born in Hong Kong. With discos, bars and pubs to liven up the scene nights in Hong Kong are a riot of fun. The Lan Kwai Fong area (on the main island) is where the biggest party’s at and if that doesn’t satisfy you, stroll the streets of Tsim Shat Sui (Kowloon) for a similar scene.
