🇭🇰 Hong Kong Street Food Tour: • Hong Kong Street Food ...

HONG KONG - Dim Sum is a food or meal you have to eat in Hong Kong, and today we’re uncovering some of the best places to eat dim sum from hole in the wall to fine dining!
Huge thank you to Virginia for helping me arrange this Hong Kong food tour. Check out her videos ‪@hongkongfoodtours‬ and her food tours: humidwithachanceoffishballs.com/
1. Sam Hui Yaat (maps.app.goo.gl/51xaCAgjZuSiM...) - This small neighborhood dim sum restaurant is a local popular spot and it’s a place I always eat at when I’m in Hong Kong. They have all the classics, and you can sit and enjoy some great tea as well. Prices here range from about $2 - $4 USD per basket, so you can easily have a dim sum breakfast for under $10 USD.
2. Luk On Kui (maps.app.goo.gl/oWSoMA72Vh6FF...) - Previously there was a teahouse in Hong Kong called Lin Heung Kui, which closed down (but might re-open?). It was legendary and one of the quintessential Hong Kong food experiences - loud, confusing, delicious, and never a dull moment. Luk On Kui is almost the same, and might even be run by the same people? Anyway, it’s a perfect place to eat local dim sum in Hong Kong. Our total price came to 332 HKD ($42.44 USD), so about 10 - 20 USD per person, and so it ranks in the middle in terms of price.
3. Lung King Heen (maps.app.goo.gl/J4QbNTSVtDKuH...) - Lung King Heen is a 2 Michelin Star restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel in Hong Kong lead by Executive Chef, Chef Chan Yan Tak. They are famous for a number of things, especially their renowned high end dim sum and their whole abalone puff, which is amazing. It’s definitely high end, but the quality and atmosphere is spectacular. Price per person - 1,463 HKD ($187 USD).
Hope this gives you some ideas where to eat the best dim sum when you’re in Hong Kong!

Mark is my favorite food blogger hands down. Such a humble man. I love the fact that when he uses a tour guide in a city, the guide actually sits down with him and his family to eat. I’ve seen Virginia on other channels where the blogger eats by themselves while she stands off to the side. Love you Mark, keep up the great work!

@SamieVang01 Ай бұрын

It’s very stingy to invite a food tour guide and not have them eat with you. I like Mark because he’s always so kind and I see that on alot of his videos. What a sweet generous person he is! The other food bloggers should be more like him.

@swissfoodie3542 Ай бұрын

I totally agree. I have been following Mark for many years, and I really like how friendly and open minded he is. Also, he is respectful of other cultures, traditions, religions etc. And very humble, even though he is very famous. I sometimes feel that he "over does" it with his "wows" and things like that. But I know many americans are like that, and I prefer it over being negative or feeling "better than normal people".

Yes, Mark is definitely very kind and a class act. He has more respect for the cultures and countries he visits than others. He does eat like he's starving though. lol😂😂😂

The first time I had Dim Sum was years ago at the Barona Casino Buffet it was so delicious I tried 2 on my first round then ended up eating close to 10 of em lol. I was hooked every since then, I even had Bao pork dumplings which is a amazing Asian treat you can enjoy with tea or Boba beverage. That shrimp had my stomach roaring to the point I was heating up my leftover Panda Express 😂. Virginia is the best food tour guide ever!! Love her expertise!! Mark definitely gets my appetite charged up every single time Haha. If you know you know, right?! Such amazing tasty dumplings on this episode especially the last review displaying fine dining versions that had my mouth watery🤤. Thanks Mark for this culinary masterpiece of Chinese dumplings it was phenomenal!! Safe travels & many blessings as always my friend!! Yum Cha!! 🥟🍮🥡🥠🍵

@bettyt157 Ай бұрын

I am so tired of seeing her in every travel food blogger’s Hong Kong videos. I agree with the above. Her personality is a bit dull and she just says the same thing in everyone’s videos so it ends up feeling like a boring guided tour.

@sugar.d Ай бұрын

@@bettyt157 exactly. I don't like watching her eat. She doesn't make the food look appealing and her constant needs to explain things make the overall vibe of the meals worse. I think the only reason she got to be the cohost was because her company sponsored Mark's and BEFRS's trips to Hong Kong. Seriously many Hong Kong people are so fun to hang out with and it's so disappointing Mark went with someone boring like Virginia.

@DonJ1973 Ай бұрын

@@sugar.d Who says she sponsored Mark, Sonny and other vloggers videos? Virginia’s business is extremely small and it was drastically hurt by Covid. I’ve followed her since 2019 and she struggled like so many small businesses. Mark and Sonny likely hired her and paid for her time and services, which is fair. I understand you don’t like her and that’s fine. It’s a matter of opinion. 🤷🏻‍♂️
