Must Try Restaurants in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is considered to be one of the best places to head to when you are looking for something unique to eat or simply enjoy good Chinese food. Last May, we were able to spend a few days there to try a few restaurants and let me share with you some of these simple must-eat places whenever you visit Hong Kong.

1. In love with ramen? Try Ippudo (一風堂) as we consider it to be the best ramen place we've been to. Not only is the soup flavorful, but the noodle itself was cooked perfectly. Since some of their orders doesn't include ajitama, I suggest you order it as an add-on because their flavored soft-boiled egg are a must-eat. Don't worry about the calories because you will be burning them when you take a stroll afterwards. Make sure though that you have the patience to wait because the line is long. For us, we went there around 9pm and the line was still long. What's good about Ippudo is that they have this automated queuing system (Silvercord Center, TST Branch) that enables wait staff to quickly monitor the volume of people about to dine.Check this detailed review of Ippudo: Ippudo HK: A Must-Try Ramen Restaurant Chain

2. Delicious Kitchen has been a must-go place for those who loves porkchop rice. This local restaurant is perfect for those people that are always on the go (as they prepare the food quite fast) but still wanted good Chinese food. They also have other tasty dishes so be sure to check them out!

3. Want to try different kinds of XiaoLongBao? DinTaiFung would be the restaurant who offers one the widest variety. Not only does this Michelin Star restaurant offer such but they also have varieties of dimsum and Chinese menu that you could choose from. Check our separate Din Tai Fung Blog here: Family Lunch At Din Tai Fung

4. The best asado bun? Head to TimHoWan (添好運) and you'll not be disappointed. This is, in fact, the cheapest Michelin star restaurant and dimsum prices starts at HKD 10. This establishment has been famous since it has opened because one of the partners (who is also the head chef) used to work as the dimsum chef for Four Seasons Hotel in Hong Kong. You should bring with you extra patience too as there is a long line in almost all their branches in Hong Kong.

Iron Man at Hysan Place, Causeway Bay

You wouldn't miss this hero standing by the entrance of Hysan Place
Iron Man has been one of the hit superhero movies of our time. With the money and resources Tony Stark has, I consider him to be a one-of-a-kind hero because he makes suites and armors of his own to become a superhero compared to other heroes who possess extra-ordinary powers. Hong Kong is also a fan or Iron Man and in our recent trip, we were able to check out Hysan Place at Causeway Bay to find  a full collection of life-size Iron Man statues. The presentation of these Iron Man suites were pretty amazing. They also had hologram video made as to how Tony Stark's suite works. Below are the suit collection of Iron Man taken in Hysan Place at Lee Gardens.

I do hope they would be able to do something like this in our cinemas here next time! More than that, I hope you've exercised your right to vote today!
