Dim sum and Cantonese dishes

Mark Wiens follows a five-day food itinerary through Hong Kong. The tour begins with familiar local dishes such as wonton noodles, clay pot rice and smoky stir-fries, then turns to dim sum. Yum cha means drinking tea and is central to the dim sum experience. At busy restaurants, diners may need to move quickly to catch the trolley dishes. The tour also includes Long King Heen, a Michelin-starred restaurant known for Cantonese cuisine, and a meal of typhoon shelter crab.

The visits show different ways to experience Cantonese food, from a Michelin-starred dining room to neighborhood noodle shops. Sister W is known for beef brisket noodles, while Hing Kee prepares thousands of Hong Kong-style clay pot rice dishes each night. The film also discusses how dishes change over time, using macaroni and tomato soup as an example of a local food story. These meals connect specific restaurants and dishes to everyday eating in Hong Kong.

Markets and restaurant stops

He visits a long-established wonton noodle restaurant, described as operating since 1956 and making its own noodles. The itinerary also includes char siu in Chai Wan and roast goose at Yat Lok, both presented as well-known specialties.

The five days end with a visit to Wing Kei, a food court-style restaurant in Causeway Bay serving Cantonese dishes, and a final Cantonese meal. Together, these stops cover seafood, noodles, roast meats, dim sum and rice dishes. The tour moves between market cooking, long-running noodle shops and high-end Cantonese dining, showing a range of places and dishes Mark encounters.
