About this experience
Old Town Central is where Hong Kong's modern food scene took shape: Cantonese cooks adapted to British colonial tastes and created a hybrid cuisine that became dim sum as we know it today. This 3.5-hour tour takes you through 4 historically significant eateries plus 2 modern reinventions, sampling BBQ pork, classic har gow shrimp dumplings, char siu bao, egg tarts (both flaky Portuguese-style and traditional cookie-crust), and a few seasonal specials.
Includes a stop at the original cha chaan teng (tea restaurant) that pioneered HK-style milk tea in the 1950s.
