    Kau Kee Food Cafe

    Kau Kee Food Cafe
    • Gastronomía

    The classic Hong Kong noodle dish – beef brisket with yellow egg noodles – is best enjoyed at Kau Kee Food Cafe. The queue is pretty much constant at this Central Hong Kong eatery, located just off the mid-level escalators on Gough Street.

    The broth is incredibly rich, the beef tender and soft, and the ‘yee-fu’ flat wheat noodles are silky smooth. As with all the most famous local restaurants in Hong Kong, expect long queues (usually about 10 to 20 minutes) to get a seat at peak times.

    Ubicación: Ground Floor, 21 Gough Street, Central, Hong Kong

    Horarios: Monday–Saturday from 12.30pm to 10.30pm (closed on Sundays)

    Lin Heung Kui

    Lin Heung Kui
    • Gastronomía

    Lin Heung Kui is certainly one of the best places for Cantonese food in Sheung Wan. Unlike most dim sum spots in Hong Kong, this restaurant maintains the traditional style of serving dim sum,  where a staff pushes a trolley with various types of bite-sized dishes.  

    Lin Heung Kui is often packed at lunchtime, so it's best to visit in the morning to secure a table. Standouts include the radish cake, rice noodle rolls with shrimp, and lo mai gai (steamed sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf).

    Ubicación: 40-50 Des Voeux Rd W, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong

    Horarios: Daily from 6am to 10pm

    Lin Heung Tea House

    Lin Heung Tea House
    • Gastronomía

    Lin Heung Tea House does dim sum the way they did back in the ‘50s. Old aunties push the freshly steamed dumplings around on a cart and you just stop her and point. Tables are packed and piled high with bamboo baskets, fans whirl overhead and the whole vibe harks back to days gone by.

    If you want something in particular, Lin Heung Tea House has order sheets (though you may need some help unless you can read Cantonese). Thanks to the number of tourists, the staff can speak a bit of English. 

    Ubicación: 162 Wellington Street, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong
