Eating in Hong Kong

Can anyone help ?

Which restaurants have food thats similar and very close to the food here in the states; outside of the hotels? Basically, what are some good cheap eat places that my picky 10 year old might enjoy.

Macdonalds are everywhere!

Eating in Hong Kong

Oliver%26#39;s Sandwhiches was popular with our son aged 8 and 11. There%26#39;s also pizza, and burger king etc. You won%26#39;t be stuck for choice.

Americans don%26#39;t like trying Chinese food :-) It%26#39;s just an observation from many years of doing business with Americans. Europeans and Australians always ask us to take them to Chinese, while Americans are always wanting to go eat steak and Italian.

Anyway...no Tex-Mex, no chicken fried steak (my favorite when I lived in Houston), but you can try:

Pizza Express: a chain from the UK that serves good pizza and decent pasta, several locations. At Tsim Sha Tsui, the shop is at Ashley Road. There are also two locations in Wan Chai and one at Lyndhurst Terrace, Central

Grappa%26#39;s: good Italian food at a reasonable price. Pacific Place Mall, Admiralty

Fat Burger: the same one based in California, it is at Queen%26#39;s Road East across Hopewell Centre

California Pizza Kitchen: same one as the US is at LCX of Harbour City, Tsim Sha Tsui or Times Square, Causeway Bay

Main St. Deli: not very cheap but authentic quality deli sandwiches at the basement level of Langham Hotel, Tsim Sha Tsui

Outback Steakhouse: same as the one in the States. Several locations at Tsim Sha Tsui: Nathan Road at the intersection of Middle Road or Tsim Sha Tsui Centre at Mody Road; also at Causeway Bay at Great George St

Hi,and may I add to SammyFloyd%26#39;s good list,will be Bubba Gump,if you happen to visit the Peak,and there is also Burger King over there.

Well, not only your 10year,even my HK friends children,they somehow prefer the burger and fries,and pizza.So at times,I also have to accommodate their wish of going to Pizza Express, McDonalds,Burger King etc.

Thanks so much you have been a great help. My 10 year old is already smiling. Now for me, whenever I travel outside the the US I do try the native cuisine. I am looking forward to trying some authentic chinese food, along with some very tasty and fresh seafood; crabs, shrimp, crawfish, etc. By the way what%26#39;s a popular type of fish over there. As you know here, we%26#39;re big on Catfish, snapper, and Salmon. So I would like to try the BEST: Dim Sum, Sunday Brunch, Afternoon Tea Experience, %26amp; Seafood Restaurant. What%26#39;s the word??

Your opinion is appreciated!!

The Cantonese way of making fish is by steaming it in soy sauce with ginger and scallions. This is served at just about all Chinese restaurants. If budget is not too much of a concern, then Dynasty at Renaissance Harbour View Hotel, Wan Chai serves excellent food. Another choice is Hoi King Heen at Intercontinental Grand Stanford at Mody Road of TST East. Even many of the mid-range restaurants could be good though.

Dim sum: Dynasty and Hoi King Heen are both very good but expensive. For other recommendations, read the sticky dining thread started by Katetam.

Seafood restaurant: most Cantonese restaurants have the ability to do good seafood. Some people go to Sai Kung or Lamma Island for dedicated seafood restaurants although the quality is a bit hit-or-miss.

Afternoon tea: Most five star hotels do a good job at a price. Four Seasons or Mandarin Oriental at Central, Peninsula or Intercontinental at TST all give you a quality experience at a price (%26gt;$150 per person).

There are also supermarkets everywhere so you can pick up a range of food for the room - fruit, yoghurts, juice etc

To add to the list of restaurants serving casual western:

Dan Ryans, TGI Friday, Tony Romas, Ruby Tuesday, Fat Angelos, Pepperonis...

I did not put in Dan Ryan%26#39;s because I always thought their quality is questionable. Fat Angelo%26#39;s is about big plates although food is only so-so. Of course, just my opinion as everyone has their favorites.

There is a TexMex in HK! In Wanchai between all the bars though.. and it%26#39;s called Coyote Ugly.. but for lunch/early dinner would be fine I would think?

There is so much choice in HK it really depends on how much you want to spend %26amp; where you are staying.
