Carrie was amazing! So knowledgeable on the food, culture and customs. Well paced but covered a lot. Food was delicious. I especially loved seeing the dim sum made by hand. I learned so much!

This food tour was exceptional! We chose Sham Shui as the district! Carrie our food tour guide was knowledgeable, fun and entertaining. We would have never tried some of the places due to language and thoroughly enjoyed the cultural experience! Thank you to Cecilia and Carrie for the experience!!

What a fantastic small group tour through Sham Shui Po. For this tour I was lucky to have Carrie as our guide, who is fantastic, passionate and knowledgeable about the area and food. We had so much delicious food, but the highlight was the Soy Pudding - wow! The great thing about this tour is that you eat like a local and in places I would never have found on my own. You are also provided with a booklet with all the details of where you have been and what you have had so you can return another time to revisit the wonderful places. Thoroughly recommend this company for their great foodie tours.

Fabulous, most delicious food tour! Truly felt immersed into the local culture. Carrie is AMAZING. Informative, well-read, and very knowledgeable of the local eateries. We had breakfast, which consisted of pineapple bread and a cup of traditional Hong Kong milk tea. Then we went off to have some traditional rice rolls, which were delectable! After that, we took a bit of a walk to digest, and then we stopped for a cup of ice-cold soy milk and a local dessert with ginger sauce. We stopped at a local bakery and enjoyed 3 kinds of local cookies. Our final stop was for bamboo noodles, which we LOVED. All of these eateries we would not have found on our own. It truly gave us a taste of Hong Kong through the tastebuds of a local. Carrie, for the win!!!! By the way, I own a food tour in St.Maarten, and I was blown away by this one!

Cecilia was so welcoming and passionate about local food . We learnt so much. I loved the fresh dumplings, rice noodles and fresh tofu with the ginger syrup. It was a great tour. Thank you.

We had an amazing time not just tasting delicious food but also learning about Hong Kong’s culture and history, and seeing the insides of the kitchens we visited. We even went back to some of the restaurants the following day for more! Carrie is an awesome tour guide and had so much knowledge to share during and even after the tour with recommendations based on what we were looking for. Carrie deserves a raise 😁 It was a pleasant and different kind of experience going on a guided food tour, and it was a totally memorable experience.

The tour offered a great glimpse into the everyday food culture of Hong Kongers. Our tour guide, Cecelia, was lovely—patient and knowledgeable—and we asked a lot of questions. We really enjoyed walking around the neighborhood, which was a new area for us to explore, with a clear purpose and specific destinations. We especially appreciated being "taken through the kitchen" and hearing the detailed explanations about where we were eating, what we were eating, and the people who make it all happen. Thank you for a wonderful tour.

Such a great find! I came across this food tour, and wanted to explore a part of Hong Kong that I hadn't seen before. Our tour guide, Carrie, was so knowledgeable about the neighbourhood, fun, and engaging. The tour combined such a great variety of food (which is why I signed up for it), but I was pleasantly surprised by the pieces of history and insights into local life that she shared with us. I even recommended this to my Hong Kong friends who live near the area but say they're not sure where to check out. Highly recommend when you're in HK.

This tour was a definite highlight of my trip - the food was great and the glimpse into everyday life in Hong Kong was fascinating. Big thanks to Cecilia for conducting the tour in a way that was both personal and respectful to life in Sham Shui Po.
