Local dining tip

If you’re eyeing a top rated restaurant in the Causeway Bay or Central area, a simple local trick is to head there for lunch instead of dinner. Not only are some lunch menus cheaper, but you’ll also find wait times much shorter during the day. And if you’re craving traditional Cantonese dim sum, try visiting one of the older tea houses in Wanchai on a weekday morning, when they’re busiest with locals and the food feels most authentic.
