6 Days in Hong Kong
Thanks very much for the information - this is beyond helpful!!
I was wondering - obv we want to try out lots of different regional varieties of the area, but are there any other types of restaurants you would mix in that would be worthwhile to try - ie Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese (great sushi)...French??
Also what are general options for breakfast? Are there good places on the street to grab something quick on our way or is this something we should get in our hotel before we take off in the morning (I know our hotel is on top of a big mall so maybe there are places there?)...doesn't seem like the kinda place where we'd be able to run into starbucks and grab a bagel and coffee but these days it's hard to tell
Thanks again for all the info :-)
6 Days in Hong Kong
I'm new to this board so apologize if this type of question was already answered somewhere else.
My wife and I will be visiting HK for 6 days at the end of March - and I'm normally the one that plans our dining spots on our trips and am pretty intimidated by my task this time. For a little background I've been to Hong Kong once before when I was much younger and my wife has never been to Asia - we're both Americans who don't speak Mandarin or Cantonese (but I guess i could put pictures on my cell phone - liked that idea from another post!). We def aren't the type to sit in the hotel and eat "western" food - so I'm looking for great local spots. We're staying at the W in Kowloon but don't have a problem traveling around, and are both strong walkers. We're both in our late twenties so would like to lean towards places that are young/trendy I guess is the word for it but also happy to check out traditional offerings or out of the way spots.
We're pretty open to all kinds of food - but probably skip the really adventurous stuff (shark finn, intestines - etc), obv all varieties of local food, love sushi, any other ideas would def be open to exploring - budget is somewhat flexible, not $$$ every meal but open to splurging a couple times if it's worth it
If you need anymore information let me know - thanks so much for any ideas
