Since opening in 1961, this legendary tea shop has been sharing the joys of Chinese tea. Come here to sit down with gracious owner Mr. Lau, who will walk you through a traditional tea tasting ceremony. What’s interesting is learning how entrenched tea is in the daily life of those living in Hong Kong, with different tea being used for everything from quenching thirst to curing health ailments.

Lok Fu Bazaar, Hong Kong

Egg Tarts are a Hong Kong classic. With a presence similar to chocolate chip cookies in the United States you will find them everywhere during a visit to the Pearl of the Orient however, with plenty of varieties to choose from, including everything from honey-egg tarts to green tea tarts available to sample, you’ll want to be sure to set your sights on the best of the best. We suggest heading to King Bakery, where these treats are baked up fresh every day and the puff pastry variety are made with over 384 layers.

A visit to Lok Fu Market is incredibly interesting for a few reasons. First, it’s a great example of a modern version of what is known as a Hong Kong ‘wet market’ where fresh poultry, seafood and produce are available for purchase. During the tour you’ll learn that ‘wet markets’ are distinguished from Hong Kong’s ‘dry markets’ where durable goods such as clothing and electronics are sold. Colorful, chaotic and endless in its options, this grocery shopping experience is truly one to remember.
