Hong Kong Food Adventures: Budget-Friendly Eats (No Reservations Needed!)

Hey everyone! I'm back – the one who recently shared my solo trip to Hong Kong from Mainland China (Shanghai). This time, I'm sharing a list of fantastic eateries recommended by my Mainland friends, all ticking the boxes of delicious, affordable, and no-reservation-required goodness!

My Top Hong Kong Food Spots:

  1. 兴记 (Hing Kee - Yau Ma Tei)

    My order: Claypot rice with chicken feet + milk tea = 108HKD. This place is quite famous and was the most expensive meal of the trip. Personally, I didn't find it as amazing as the other spots. Their Oyster Pancake (生蚝煎饼) is supposed to be incredible, which I didn't get to try – maybe that's where the magic is! The owner speaks both English and Mandarin.

  2. 興記咖啡室 (Hing Kee Coffee Shop - Sheung Wan)

    This place doesn't have an English name. My order: Fried pork chop noodles (猪排面) + lemon tea (柠檬茶) + French toast (西多士 – their signature dish, and it's amazing!) = 82HKD. Heads up: the owners don't speak English, but they understand Mandarin. I actually got lost trying to find this place and ended up at the first spot on my first attempt!

  3. Taiwanese Spot near Yau Ma Tei Station (Nathan Road, Exit C)

    My order: Braised pork rice (卤肉饭) + bubble tea (珍珠奶茶) = 72HKD (ordering drinks separately is 27HKD, so the combo is a steal!). I stumbled upon this place after a late night at Disney. The portion was huge, and the bubble tea wasn't overly bitter like some Hong Kong-style milk teas. The owner and staff don't speak English, but they do speak Mandarin.

  4. 和顺记 (Wo Shun Kee - Yau Ma Tei)

    My order: Fried pork chop noodles (猪排面) + milk tea (奶茶) = 48HKD. This place is famous for its massive roasted chicken leg rice (55HKD), but it's only available during lunch. Since I went in the morning, I opted for the pork chop noodles. Having lived in China for a while, I was so happy to find fried pork that tasted similar to the Vietnamese style. I give this place a huge thumbs up! The owner and staff speak English but not Mandarin.

  5. 深仔记 (Sham Tsai Kee - Tsim Sha Tsui)

    My order: Char siu pork rice with fried egg (叉烧饭) + milk tea (奶茶) = 62HKD (drinks are much cheaper with the combo). This place is spacious and feels a bit like a restaurant, but the prices are reasonable. The staff speaks English, and some speak Mandarin.

  6. Pastries along Nathan Road

    I simply bought these from various vendors along Nathan Road – nothing specific. Expect to pay around 12-15HKD per savory pastry, perfect for breakfast.

  7. Drinks

    Since I live in China and drink bubble tea often, I didn't try any new ones in Hong Kong. Instead, I bought bottled oolong tea (6HKD) from convenience stores along the street, which was even cheaper than bottled water!

My food photos aren't the best, but I promise the food is delicious! Thanks for reading! 🥰
