The food is traditional Cantonese cuisine at its best with its fabulous use of classic quality ingredients. You can find this premium dining treasure in the Kwan Chart Tower.<\/p>\n

Street Markets<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The epicenter of Hong Kong’s Thai population, Kowloon City Market, is a great place to find fresh fruits from South-east Asia. Vendors sell juicy mangoes, rambutan (like lychees) longans and sweet durian during the summer months.<\/p>\n

Lam Kee is a public market with some of Hong Kong\u2019s best and most inexpensive food. Here you\u2019ll find dim sum such as har gau, siu mai (dumplings) black bean spareribs, and some really unusual combinations.
