~Dreamer~: Where to eat in Hong Kong?

This is my personal compilation of some of the best food I've eaten in Hong Kong after being here for half a year. If you're planning to come to HK, you can use some of these as guides =)

1. Dim Sum

One of the best dim sum we've eaten is at DragonKing Dim Sum at Wanchai.

Custard bun.

Runny and yummy.

Best chicken leg so far after eating in many other dim sum shops.

Walnut bun- must try!

Runny with bits of walnut in it. So yums!

Sweet potato ball. Another must try! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Abalone siu mai. So huge!

Chee Cheong Fun.

Beancurd roll in tomato sauce. Very special.

Another favourite is Paradise Dynasty.

Their 8 flavours Xiao Long Pau is very famous and it's a must try.

The Dan Dan Mian is also a must try. Absolutely love both dishes and will come back again for these.

2. BBQ

We tried 2 BBQ places and we loved it. The first one is Meokbang Korean BBQ & Bar in Causeway Bay.

The only place where I will eat Kimchi. Don't know why the kimchi here so nice haha

Love the melted cheese & egg

Tteokbokki was good!

Meat was fresh and delicious.

Another place is Japanese BBQ, Gyu-Kaku. This is a buffet style which was so fulfilling and delicious. Will definitely go back for both.

The meat was fresh and absolutely mouth salivating!

And this famous Korean BBQ place in Wan Chai not to be missed is Arirang.

The chef can even BBQ for you is you're too lazy haha...food was delicious! But price is on the high side.

3. Bakery

We tried so many bakeries in HK. The pastries here are *chef kiss*

First one is the famous Bakehouse.

There's always a long queue.

My favourite is their doughnuts.

So filling and satisfying but not cheap LOL. I will always go back for their doughnuts.

Another bakery I love is Urban Bakery in Central.

This lobster croissant is da bomb! Nothing else can compare. The best hands down.

One very underrated egg tart here is KFC's Portugese egg tart.

After trying so many, this is by far the most reasonably priced with good quality.

Also after trying so many polo bun, I still lean towards Restaurant Kowloon's polo bun.

My absolute favourite!

If you want to up your polo bun, go to Chrisly Cafe for their egg polo bun.

Butter egg with crusty crust. Oh-so-yummy!

The best BBQ pork buns are from Tim Ho Wan. Their dim sum are so-so but their buns are must-trys!

I also love the bakery in Levain

Bread and coffee together with a cozy environment sums up a good brunch place.

4. Ramen

There are so many ramen shops in HK but we always go to our favourite which is Kobayashi Sapporo Ramen in Tai Kok Tsui.

They have the best superrr spicy ramen which my husband loves. If you're a big fan of spicy, do visit this shop and challenge yourself haha

It's really spicy so beware!

There are other non-spicy ramen too which are as delicious.

Another ramen shop we love is Ichiran Ramen.

You can adjust your spiciness level and thickness of broth which we love. Will want to try this in Japan next time.

5. Dessert

If you're into Chinese dessert, you must visit Fook Yuen dessert shop in North Point.

Their black sesame paste dessert is my favourite.

Their tangyuen is also their bestseller. People actually need to queue to buy their tangyuen the night before CNY.

Another favourite is Sweet Dreamer Dessert in Kennedy Town.

Their lava cake with fro-yo is very special and we always come back for this in different flavours.

Best fro-yo so far is Yo!Mama

I love fro-yo and frequent this shop but their portion can be quite small.

Now Shari-Shari has the best kakigori. I think it's even better than After You.

Strawberry kakigori.

Black Sesame kakigori.

Look at the filling inside.

Quite on the high price, but so worth it. The ice is so smooth and fine and we have tried many in Malaysia, but this beats them hands down.

If you're into cookie and brownies, Mrs Fields has the best!!

I have tried so many desserts but I just keep coming back to Mrs Fields for more. I can't get over their soft cookies and chewy brownies.

6. Hotpot

If you like dry mala hotpot, the best so far is Twelve Flavours. Ordered this many times.

For the normal hotpot steamboat type, I really like Happy Lamb due to their variety of meats and their service.

Been here twice in a span of a month, that's how much we love it haha

7. Crepe

If you're a fan of Crepe, you must try Crepe Delicious

Pulled lamb crepe.

Truffle egg crepe. Gosh, just seeing this makes me hungry! Their crepes are soo delicious.

8. Poke Bowl

I'm a big fan of poke bowl and I have tried a few but the best and most reasonably priced is Poke HK.

I just love their combo and with their Spicy sauce, it tasted even better!

9. Pizza

I thought pizza was just pizza. But Dough Bros blew my mind.

Their pizzas are out of this world and they even sell truffle sauce to go with their pizza and the combo was mind blowing. Will only order Dough Bros for pizza night.

10. Fast Food

McDonald's here is pretty innovative.

They even have lobster bread with boba tea in McD!

Five Guys as always has good quality burgers and milkshakes!

Shake Shack has the most underrated dessert ever.

This is a must try when you go to Shake Shack.

11. Pigeon

Shatin is famous for pigeon dishes and we went all the way just to eat pigeons haha

Cooked in supreme soy sauce.

Roasted pigeon.

Yes, worth it to go all the way for.

12. Chicken wings

Somehow, HK love wings for some reason.

The best wings buffet we went was Wingman in Central. Gah, they have 18 flavours and we got em' all!

Super delicious and worth it!

13. Indonesian food.

HK has quite many Indonesian restaurants around.

So far the best we had was BaliTown in Tsim Sha Tsui.

Beef rendang croissant. Their beef curry rendang was superrr authentic Indonesian style. We were looking everywhere for beef rendang and we found it!

Cendol was great too. I have not seen other stores sell cendol but this one definitely satisfied my Malaysian cravings.

14. Chee Cheong Fun

Found this in google when you type best chee cheong fun in Sham Shui Po. This is Hop Yik Tai and although they serve plain CCF, but people queue up for it because it's so simple yet delicious with it's secret sauce: peanut sauce.

15. Cafe food

There are numerous cafes here in HK but my top pick is Elephant Grounds.
