Food is no good (to me)

That would be your problem.

Of all the comments I've heard made about Hong Kong, that's the first
time I've ever heard anyone say that.

I can't think of any other place in the world where you can find a
wider range of every style and quality of food imaginable. Everything
from cheap and fast street food to the most luxurious restaurants
providing the best kind of food you can ask for is available in Hong
Kong.



Yeah, i know that story
but I don't like fastfood
and i like to taste italian food in Italy

Do they also have real local food in HK ?

Try Chiu Chow.

chips! Or at least they did last time I was there. Sue

That's all you could find in HK? Fast food and Italian food? Your trip is
a total waste.

Do they also have real local food in HK ?


No, I guess all they got is fast food and Italian food.

Something Singapore has that's definitely missing in Hong Kong are the
fantastic hawker stalls. In that sector the market, I agree, Singapore
does have more variety, probably as a result of the wider ethnic mix
in the Singapore population. The nearest Hong Kong equivalent of those
seems to be Cantonese only.

Let me register my vote for Penang for "Best place for food in Asia" while
we're on the subject.

Despite that, I still can't see how 'food no good' can even remotely
describe the Hong Kong food scene.


It's got a lot worse over the last several years, as the food courts
disappeared one-by-one. There are a lot of Chinese restaurants, of
course, but the local love of MSG seems only to be increasing.
Despite that, there is still quite a lot of good food around but it's not
one of Hong Kong's selling points, I'd say. Lots of places outside Hong
Kong (including Vancouver) have better Chinese food.
