restaurants in the world and awarded
a Michelin star, the Din Tai Fung in
Tsim Sha Tsui (directly managed by the
Taiwanese restaurant chain) packs in a
crowd for both lunch and dinner. Aside
from their soupy, steamed dumplings,
the restaurant is also known for beef
noodles, crispy spring rolls and taro
dumplings.

YOU CAN’T BEGIN
to truly love Hong
Kong until you’ve had the chance
to party it up. I learned this while
walking with friends down Soho’s
cobbled streets on my three-inch
heels en route to yet another drinking
hole, maneuvering my way through
a weekend of swanky bars, low-key
joints, overpriced drinks, neon lighting,
cheap eats, late-night haunts, stylish
people and lively characters.
To be able to appreciate the city’s
party side, you have to experience all of
these: the good, the somewhat dodgy
and the unexpected. And to help set
you off on your way, we have compiled
a list of places that will contribute to a
true Hong Kong party experience.

This city is home to some of
the best dim sum haunts in the
world. As several are Michelin-
starred, expect to wait in long
queues. The bite-sized grub is
so fantastic, however, it’s worth the
hunger pains.
