The food of Hong Kong is not only delicious and diverse, but it\u2019s also a window into the city\u2019s history and culture. From traditional teahouses with plastic stools to fine-dining establishments in glass skyscrapers, the city\u2019s dining scene is as impressive as its modern architecture.<\/p>\n
Despite the fact that Hong Kong imports 97 percent of its food, the city\u2019s chefs have an incredible ability to turn these ingredients into world-class dishes. The city\u2019s unique fusion of Chinese, Thai, Malaysian, and Japanese cuisines makes for an exciting culinary experience. In addition, Hong Kong\u2019s openness to foreign influences has resulted in a booming restaurant scene that is constantly evolving and innovating.<\/p>\n
This year, Hong Kong has a record 95 Michelin-starred restaurants\u2014more than double the number in 2017. It\u2019s no surprise that so many of these restaurants are located in this city on the water, with spectacular views over one of the world\u2019s most striking urban landscapes.<\/p>\n
There are several dining spots to explore in Hong Kong, but for an unforgettable experience, head to the newly opened Aqua. Designed by London-based studio David Collins, this two-story restaurant is ribbed with iron girders and has floor-to-ceiling glass walls that overlook Victoria Harbor. It\u2019s the perfect spot for a romantic dinner or an unforgettable meal with friends.<\/p>\n
The restaurant\u2019s menu is as eclectic as its design, featuring dishes from across the globe. From Peruvian ceviche and Ecuadorian guacamole to Argentine arepas and Venezuelan lobster stew, it\u2019s impossible not to find something you\u2019ll love at this hip joint. And don\u2019t forget to finish your meal with the show-stopping dulce de leche churros.<\/p>\n
While many Hong Kong locals enjoy dining a la carte, most prefer to dine in groups of at least four people. This is because most dishes are served family-style and are meant to be shared. When ordering, be sure to keep in mind that taking food directly from the center of the table is considered impolite. You should scoop it into your bowl or plate before you eat it.<\/p>\n
Another must-try dish is the Three-Stuffed Treasures. This street food classic is made with eggplant, peppers, and tofu and drizzled with soy sauce and fish paste for a sour and fishy flavor that\u2019s uniquely Hong Kong.<\/p>\n
In addition to its stunning vistas, the restaurant has an excellent selection of cocktails and wine. They also have an extensive vegetarian and vegan menu that will please even the most discriminating palates.<\/p>\n
Located in the heart of the city\u2019s Wan Chai district, Rosita is the latest venture by celebrated friends and celebrated chefs Agustin Balbi and Ricardo Chaneton. This one-of-a-kind restaurant combines new Latin American cooking with refined Hong Kong fine dining. Their menu features a plethora of innovative flavors, including aji amarillo butter on arepas and chicken liver mousse on their twist on a ceviche.<\/p>\n
