1.00I do not recommend this food tour.it is a very poor tour. The first stop was not too bad, street food in a corner place, some Siu Mai. But When We went to the second place, we surprised. I t was so dirty place, in the second floor of “Sheung Wan Cooked Food Center”, the guy that was there had dirty clothes, I don’t know the owner or cook. So, my wife and me decided to leave the tour, very unhealthy place. I didn’t want to get sick.

5.00Amazing food tour with Jasmine. She was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide, telling us about life in Hong Kong, its history and how the very diverse cuisine of the city evolved over centuries. The tour was 3 hours, with about 8 stops - street stalls, restaurants (small and local) and snacks. Everything was tasty and it was interesting to hear from the shop owners about the food and drink they sold. We would absolutely encourage anyone interested in the food of HK to take this tour. It was great value for a whole afternoon and we definitely didn’t need dinner afterwards! Thank you Jasmine
