 WORLD OF DINING
Hong Kong has a world of exquisite, mouth-watering dining options.
As you would expect, good Chinese restaurants are found everywhere in Hong Kong. Some of the best can be found in major hotels and shopping complexes. Most specialise in one or more of the following: Cantonese, Chiu Chow, Hunan, Szechuan, Peking, Shanghainese or Chinese Vegetarian.
As an international city, many cultures and tastes are represented in Hong Kong's world of dining. Enjoy fine dining or casual family-style meals in some of Hong Kong's Eastern and Western restaurants.
Day and night, Hong Kong's gourmet delights are plentiful. Whether you want to pick up a snack or get dressed up for an evening out, Hong Kong has it all.
 CHINESE FOOD
The variety of flavours, aromas and textures of Chinese cuisine are sure to delight the palate.
Some Chinese dishes are simple and others gourmet exotica, but all are designed to satisfy your senses. The most popular styles of Chinese cooking in Hong Kong are Cantonese, Chiu Chow and Shanghainese. Cantonese and Chiu Chow both originate from the same Chinese province of Guangdong but are vastly different in style and flavour. Many restaurants also specialise in vegetarian fare, famous Peking dishes and the zesty flavours of Hunan and Szechuan.
For the ultimate experience, indulge in a bottle of Chinese wine. In flavour and distillation process, these wines are completely different and definitely worth a try.
OTHER ASIAN FOOD
Hong Kong is the best place in the world to sample the dazzling variety of all Asian cuisine.
The diversity of Asian influences in Hong Kong is reflected though the range of fantastic food. Try the spices of Thailand, the rich aromatic flavours of India, the delicacies of Japan and Korea or a whole range of Vietnamese cuisine. The cultures converge in Hong Kong, where it's possible to find every flavour and need, including a wide range of halal cuisine.
WESTERN FOOD
Every Western flavour imaginable is represented in Hong Kong, the gourmet paradise.
The question is not merely what you are going to eat, but where, as your taste buds can easily be transported to any other culinary region. French, Italian and German fare is widespread, along with Greek, Mexican and even California-style cuisine.
The city prides itself on its gourmet restaurants, pizzerias and American-style fast-food outlets. Chic cafes, intimate bistros, gourmet sandwich bars and delicatessens are the perfect place to relax and enjoy some stunning cuisine.
The bonus in many of Hong Kong's Western restaurants is their memorable location. Try, for example, Victoria Peak or a table overlooking a fishing harbour. Tantalise all your senses with bird's-eye panoramic views of Victoria Harbour, cosy downtown basements or the restaurants set among the city-centre's glades of trees.
HALAL FOOD
Hong Kong caters to every culinary desire, including a wide range of halal food.
Muslim visitors will have no difficulty in finding halal food. However, some if not most of these outlets serve liquor. Muslim visitors are advised to enquire before patronizing.
FAST FOOD & TAKEAWAY
Familiar flavours of fast food are never too far away in Hong Kong.
Those who crave something familiar can find just about any kind of fast food - sandwiches, hamburgers, pizza, fried chicken and fish and chips, as well as ice cream and frozen yoghurt.
