Hong Kong Must Eat \u00a0Food #1 : Beef Brisket Noodles, Hong Kong<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Slow-cooked beef and rice noodles in a bowlful of delicious broth made with Chinese spices.\u00a0 A good beef brisket comes with juicy, thick chunks of beef that is so tender, it tears apart effortlessly with a light tug of your chopsticks. And when you\u2019ve had a spoonful, the beef almost seems to melt in your mouth. Mmm-mmm!<\/p>\n

\"Hong<\/a>(Photo CC2.0:\u00a0jay.tong<\/a>)\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Next to the essential tenderness of meat, the broth is really the part of the Beef Brisket Noodles that delivers the hearty satisfaction; the stuff that makes it a great comfort food. This is where things get exciting for foodies who want to discover the best. Restaurants in Hong Kong serving Beef Brisket have different signature broths. So every bowl of beef brisket has a little something different — the perfect excuse to eat your way through all of Hong Kong’s best beef brisket restaurants.<\/p>\n

Clear or thick, the broths are all ridiculously tasty. Super satisfying.<\/p>\n

Best Beef Brisket Noodles in Hong Kong:\u00a0<\/strong>Kau Kee, Hong Kong<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A renowned top contender for the best beef brisket noodles in Hong Kong, Kau Kee is a little shop that has been around for over 90 years. It\u2019s so good, people start queuing before the shop even opens for business in the morning!<\/p>\n

\"Kau<\/a>\u00a0(Photo CC2.0:\u00a0Jonathan Lim<\/a>)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t expect any fancy service here. But flavor, you can count on. At Kau Kee, you can choose from different kinds of noodles to come with your bowl of original clear broth beef brisket noodles. If you prefer a fuller taste, go for the curry sauce version.<\/p>\n

Hong Kong Must Eat Food #2 :<\/strong>\u00a0Egg Tarts<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A yummy dessert snack, made of smooth egg filling in a flaky crispy pastry. You\u2019ll spot the inviting bright yellow peeking out of these browned pastry cups in bakery display windows all around Hong Kong. Best enjoyed hot out of the oven!<\/p>\n

\"Hong<\/a><\/p>\n

The eggy filling is firm enough to be a little bouncy to the touch, but once you bite in, it has an almost custard-like, soft consistency. The beauty of the egg tart is the balance between the smooth filling and the firm but flakey pastry crust.<\/p>\n

As for flavour, Hong Kong egg tarts are generally light and buttery, with some tarts having a stronger egg flavor than others. They are also ever so slightly sweet.<\/p>\n

Best Egg Tarts in Hong Kong:<\/h4>\n

Hard to pick the best! Foodies will enjoy sampling egg tarts from different bakeries to find the one that makes their tastebuds happiest. We suggest\u00a0Tai Cheong Bakery<\/strong>\u00a0(chain of stores),\u00a0Hoover Cake Shop<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Honolulu Caf\u00e9.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hong Kong Must Eat #3 :<\/strong>\u00a0Dim Sum (<\/strong>at Tim Ho Wan)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Imagine the very best dim sum, at a restaurant that\u2019s been given the nod from the culinary experts, at a price that\u2019s easy on your pocket. That\u2019s Tim Ho Wan. High on any visitors list of Hong Kong food to try, is dim sum at Tim Ho Wan’s Michelin Star restaurant.<\/p>\n

\"Tim<\/a>(Photo: Courtesy of Joyce Lim)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Run by the former dim sum chef at the highly-rated restaurant of Four Season\u2019s hotel, Tim Ho Wan offers first-rate food at affordable prices. Despite being a no frills restaurant, the original Tim Ho Wan in Mong Kok was awarded 3 Michelin stars. So you can imagine the dim sum here is genuinely delicious and completely rewarding to the tastebuds. There are now several branches of Tim Ho Wan in Hong Kong and around the region.<\/p>\n

Queuing is practically unavoidable due to the sheer popularity of this restaurant and all its branches. But for the quality of food at their prices? Totally worth it.<\/p>\n

Try:\u00a0Baked bun with bbq pork, steamed egg cake, vermicelli roll with pig\u2019s liver, pan fried carrot cake, char siu pineapple bun, polo char siew bao, beef ball with bean stick, Malay sponge cake, cheung fun (steamed rice rolls).<\/p>\n
