Description

Disclaimer: Our tour focuses on authentic local culinary experiences and cannot accommodate dietary restrictions. 1. Historic Chinese Quarter: Trade, Labor & Legacy Step into Sheung Wan—Old Town Central’s historic heart where Hong Kong’s story began. Wander dried seafood hubs like Wing Lok Street, epicenter of luxury goods (shark fin, bird’s nest). Discover how these alleys shipped Chinese laborers worldwide, fueling the city’s evolution from 19th-century opium hub to financial giant. 2. Authentic Eats: Family Kitchens, Not Tourist Traps Forget Central’s international bistros—this is where locals dine. We visit generations-old gems: • Cha Chaan Tengs: Sip 'silk-stocking' milk tea (strained through cloth sacks!) and crispy French toast (nothing French about this!). • Noodle masters: Watch Chiu Chow artisans fold shrimp-stuffed wontons and simmer flounder fish broth. • Dim Sum hideouts: Taste bamboo-steamed har gow; learn how high society snacks became everyday staples. • Herbal tea stalls: Try 'Five Flowers' or bitter '24 Flavors' tea at 1950s social hubs. 3. Taste History, Literally At 7-8 stops, you’ll: ✓ Eat 10+ dishes: BBQ pork, egg tarts, herbal brews, egg waffles. ✓ See imperial ingredients: Explore HKD$200,000/catty cordyceps. ✓ Debunk myths: Is 'silk-stocking tea' really made with stockings? (Spoiler: No!) ✓ Connect food to history: How dim sum fueled merchant empires, and post-war poverty birthed Cha Chaan Teng culture.
