China
Hong Kong
Dim sum carts, neon nights, real flavor.
A note from the editor
As a former British colony, Hong Kong has drawn expats for decades, myself included: I called it home for five years. The city’s modernity shows most in its cuisine, food loyal to Cantonese roots through dim sum and street stalls, alongside beloved Hong Kong-style bistros blending local ingredients with English food culture. This guide is filled with hidden gems locals swear by.
