What to do in Hong Kong

A trip to Hong Kong isn’t complete without dim sum — a traditional Cantonese meal that involves small plates of sweet and savoury foods for sharing, accompanied with tea.
Dim sum in its most traditional form involves various types of steamed and fried dishes served using old-school cooking techniques, often coming from generational family recipes. The setting is typically casual and no-frills for a real local experience.
