Tea, Candies, and Chinese Sweets in Sheung Wan

• Tucked away on a narrow road in the Sheung Wan area, our specialist tea purveyor sells tea, assorted candies, and other mouth-watering Chinese sweets made from fruits, and has been around for more than 30 years.

Local Life at Graham Street Market

• With more than a century of history, Graham Street Market is a great place to experience life as a local. The sloped street is flanked by food stalls on either side, selling everything from fresh vegetables to live seafood.
• Along with the market, you'll also find traditional shops selling items that make great souvenirs. For example, founded in 1917, the Kowloon Soy Company on Graham Street is renowned for its soy sauce made with traditional techniques. Stop here to learn about the King Of Sauces.

Day 05

Wonton Noodles in Central

• Located in Central, this wonton noodle specialist is sure to satisfy. One of the oldest yet also most dynamic districts in the city, Central and Western District - encompassing the sloped streets and small alleys - encapsulates Hong Kong's rich and diverse spirit.
• A place where century-old temples share the same streets as fashion-forward concept stores, and where authentic tea houses coexist with modern art galleries, this colourful neighbourhood is at once old and new while also being proudly local and unmistakably global.

Day 06

Ride the Mid-Levels Escalator

• Experience the Mid-Levels Escalator, the longest outdoor escalator in the world. It stretches 800 meters and rises 135 meters up to the hilly areas that end at Conduit Road.

Day 07

Taste Famous Hong Kong Milk Tea

• Located next to the escalator is a modest-looking but renowned milk tea place. The secret to its signature milk tea is straining the brew through a pair of pantyhose for an extra smooth taste!

Day 08

Ride the Historic Ding Ding Tram

• Board and enjoy a ride on Hong Kong's electric tram system. It is one of the oldest forms of public transport in the city, first operated in 1904 under British rule, and it has the world's largest operational double-decker tram fleet. The system, being very affordable, is also one of the most environmentally friendly ways of travelling in the city. Learn about the notable buildings you pass by.

Day 09

Char Siu at a Family-Run Institution

• Stop at another family-run, Michelin Guide-recommended restaurant, which dates back to the pre-20th-century Qing Dynasty and is renowned for its Char Siu Fan (roast BBQ pork rice). It is a must-stop for everyone who claims to be a foodie.
• Try the Char Siu Fan; the pork has just the right amount of meat, fat, and sauce, the contents of which they keep a closely guarded secret. This was the late Anthony Bourdain's favourite. You will leave with a smile and a happy belly.

Day 10

Finish with a Classic Hong Kong Egg Tart

• Our last stop on the food tour is at a well-established bakery, a personal favourite of a former Hong Kong governor.
• Get your hands on one of the famous egg tarts, or Dan Tat in Cantonese, a Chinese version of an English pastry - the custard tart.
