Whilst we seem to say this about everywhere we go, in Hong Kong, things really were different and unique. For a start it was our very first introduction to the tightly packed apartment blocks and steep hills that make up the area. Though technically in China, the whole place had a distinctly western feel (and particularly British unsurprisingly). This first post about HK however is dedicated to one of our favourite pass times - EATING. The beauty of spending some time in a truly global mega city is the abundance of cuisines from all over the world and whilst we were keen to sample some famous Chinese delights we were also looking forward to trying out some weird, wacky and utterly delicious dishes too. Our top eats were as follows: 5. Pizza by the Slice at Paisano's Pizzeria. Whilst more commonly associated with the Big Apple, this pizza chain serves up huge individual slices of hot delicious pizza to a very busy restaurant full of waiting customers. It was bit mad, but the food was good and who doesn't love pizza?! 4. Fancy McDonald's at the Admiralty Centre. I know I know, who travels half way across the world to eat a Maccy D's but bear with us, this one was special. With an open kitchen and the option to build your own mega gourmet burgers and salad, it was hands down one the craziest fast food experiences we've had. 3. Dim Sum at Tim Ho Wan. This place is more of a gimmick than anything else, boasting Michelin star quality at some of the cheapest prices. Our favourite was unsurprisingly the house special, steamed pork buns, which were very tasty indeed. The steamed beef balls on the other hand... 2. Themed dim sum at Icon - One taste of dim sum is never enough when in Hong Kong so it's not surprising that we ventured out for more, this time for something a little les serious. We found a place offering cartoon themed treats which went down... Well a treat. We're sure there are far fancier places to try these classic dishes but for touristy Instagram value this place did the trick. 1. Hands down the best food we had in Hong Kong came in the form of a vegetarian middle eastern inspired lunch at Maison Libanaise. Harrisa coated chargrilled cauliflower, fresh flavoured hummus, pickled vegetables and a giant flat bread later, and we were left licking our plates clean and nursing our bloated stomachs.
