What are the food items that come to your mind when you think about Hong Kong?
1. DIM SUM! Yes, dim sum is a must when you are in Hong Kong. My favourite and must-go dim sum place is Lin Heung Tea House. Lin Heung is a traditional dim sum restaurant where many old folks read their newspapers while sipping hot tea and savouring dim sum. It is usually crowded with locals and foreigners, and some dim sum items may be sold out by late morning. Thus, it is advisable to reach Lin Hueng early and spend some time waiting for tables. This is definitely worth the wait for the dim sum is heavenly good!
Lin Heung is located at 162 Wellington Street, Central, Hong Kong

2. ROAST MEAT! Be it roast chicken, roast duck, roast goose, roast pork, you must eat them! We tried a few roast meat shops around Mongkok, Yau Ma Tei and Central. For the thrifty, you can satisfy your cravings at Mongkok and Yau Ma Tei. For the spendthrift, you can have yours at the infamous Yung Kee Restaurant located at 32 Wellington Street, Central, Hong Kong.

3. SCRAMBLED EGGS! At Australian Dairy Co. Yes! I can hear your screams... This has got to be the best scrambled eggs I've eaten! The queue is forever long, but the wait staff are fast at clearing the queue, by shoving people in and shoving people out. This is not a place for you to eat and chill because you will be shoved out once you are done. So, you order, take photo, eat, pay and leave with satisfied stomach :)
Australian Dairy Co. is located at 47-49, Parkes Street, Jordan, Hong Kong

4. HUI LAU SHAN! The irresistible mango desserts that make everyone goes ga-ga about, especially during summer season. This is located almost everywhere.

4. EGGTART! There are 2 types of egg tarts, flaky crust and pie crust. Portuguese egg tarts have flaky crust while Tai Cheong Bakery egg tarts have pie crust. Tai Cheong Bakery egg tarts are soft, tasty and simply perfect. There are a few outlets in Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and New Territories.
