Panduan Makanan Tionghoa Hong Kong: Makanan Tradisional Hong Kong, Jajanan Kaki Lima, Chow Mein, & Restoran Terbaik

Hong Kong Adalah Salah Satu Kota Makanan Terbaik di Dunia

Jika makan enak adalah salah satu hal yang ada dalam daftar hal yang harus Anda lakukan saat bepergian, Hong Kong adalah kota yang tidak boleh dilewatkan. Dengan lebih dari tujuh juta penduduk, 14.000+ tempat makan, 93 restoran berbintang Michelin, dan keragaman kuliner yang hanya dapat ditemukan di beberapa kota di seluruh dunia, rekomendasi kami untuk destinasi yang ramai ini adalah datang dalam keadaan lapar dan tidak makan terlalu banyak, sehingga Anda dapat menikmati sebanyak mungkin tempat makan selama kunjungan Anda.

Meskipun Hong Kong dapat dengan mudah berdiri di atas kedua kakinya sendiri dengan kuliner lokalnya yang sebagian besar berasal dari Kanton, pengaruh lebih dari satu abad pemerintahan kolonial Inggris, ditambah cita rasa dan rempah-rempah khas Hokkian (tradisional dari Provinsi Fujian di tenggara Tiongkok), Shanghai, Jepang, Korea, Vietnam, Filipina, dan dari negara-negara Asia Tenggara lainnya membuat kota ini menjadi impian para pencinta kuliner.

Pada tahun 2026, Food & Wine Magazine menobatkan Hong Kong sebagai "Kota Makanan Global Teratas", dan survei berikutnya yang melibatkan lebih dari 400 jurnalis makanan, koki, dan notaris kuliner sepakat bahwa kota ini adalah "Ibu Kota Kuliner Dunia" tahun ini. Panduan perjalanan internasional terkemuka termasuk Michelin telah mengakui lebih dari 200 restoran Hong Kong sebagai yang terbaik. Namun, meskipun restoran kelas atas berlimpah di sini, bukan berarti pengunjung yang datang dengan kelas ekonomi (yang berarti saya) terlupakan, karena koleksi restoran dim sum, cha chaan teng (kafe bergaya Hong Kong), dan tempat makan pinggir jalan di kota ini juga tidak kalah menarik.

Apa Saja Makanan Tradisional ala Hong Kong?

  • Dim Sum: Bayangkan tapas Spanyol, gaya Cina, dengan berbagai pilihan hidangan kecil yang tersedia dari gerobak dorong keliling secara tradisional atau dipesan dari daftar pesanan yang diberikan pengunjung kepada pelayan. Beberapa restoran mungkin menawarkan pendekatan gabungan dengan beberapa hidangan yang tersedia di gerobak dan yang lainnya harus dipesan. Makan bersama ala keluarga dengan semua orang ikut serta. Banyak hidangan yang disajikan dalam kukusan bambu untuk menjaga kesegaran dan mempertahankan panas. Dim sum biasanya disajikan dari pagi hingga sore hari, meskipun Anda mungkin menemukan beberapa tempat makan yang buka saat matahari terbit. Makanannya enak dan begitu pula suasananya yang terasa seperti komunitas lokal yang berkumpul untuk bercengkerama satu sama lain.
  • Bakso Ikan Kari: Mungkin jajanan kaki lima paling populer di Hong Kong. Hidangan klasik lokal ini disajikan dengan tusuk sate atau mangkuk kecil dengan bakso ikan goyang yang dilumuri saus kari ringan hingga semi pedas dengan aroma yang akan menarik Anda. Santaplah sambil berjalan-jalan di area Mong Kok atau Causeway Bay atau duduklah di meja kecil yang berada di dekat kedai makanan ini.
  • Daging Panggang: Disebut siu mei dalam bahasa Kanton, tersedia dalam bentuk daging babi, bebek panggang, atau angsa.
  • Mie Pangsit: Mie telur dengan kuah kaldu yang gurih, biasanya disajikan dengan pangsit daging babi dan udang (pangsit). Juga disajikan dari gerobak makanan kaki lima di mana Anda dapat membuat mangkuk sendiri dengan mie, berbagai topping, dan kaldu.
  • Kue Tart Telur: Bayangkan Anda sedang berada di Lisbon atau Inggris di mana kue-kue tipis ini diisi dengan puding yang manis dan lembut. Saya paham dengan koneksi Inggris, tapi mengapa Portugal? Makau, koloni Portugis dari tahun 1557-1999 terletak berdekatan dengan Hong Kong dan juga merupakan Daerah Administratif Khusus (SAR) Cina. Perpaduan budaya Cina dan Portugis sangat unik dan menarik jika Anda meluangkan waktu untuk berkunjung.

Where To Go For The Best Hong Kong-Style Restaurants

You’ve settled into town after a potentially long flight to Hong Kong and want to grab some everyday comfort food that the locals eat. There are just too many possibilities here, so let’s try to make some sense of your options. Hong Kong cafes typically serve a lot more than what you may know as “Chinese food”, because they are influenced not only by the eight major regions of China and the rest of Asia, but also by Western cultures including French, Italian, Spanish, and so on. The culinary competition here is intense, so the quality of what you’ll discover while here will be amazingly high.

The blend of Cantonese cooking that was influenced by the British for more than a century has led to a wide variety of easy to make and quick to cook dishes. In fact, gathering the fresh ingredients often takes a lot longer than the brief time that vegetables and meats sizzle in a wok or frying pan. Surprisingly, standard offerings at Hong Kong-style tea houses and cafes include macaroni soup with ham, egg sandwiches, pineapple buns, baked pork chop rice, along with Hong Kong milk tea or coffee. This may not sound Chinese to you, but there’s also no shortage of what you were expecting with fresh vegetables and meats or tofu in spectacular sauces, served with rice, dumplings, or noodles. And do be sure to try some traditional claypot rice dishes. Mmm mmm.

Here are a few locally popular Hong Kong-style restaurants that you may want to check out:

  • Tai Ping Koon, multiple locations in Tsim Sha Tsui, Western, and Causeway Bay - Known for their Swiss sauce chicken, baked pork cutlet rice, and dessert souffle.
  • Kam Wah Café & Cake Shop, Mong Kok - Try the Hong Kong-style French toast, Hokkien fried rice, or a pineapple bun with pork.
  • Ho Lee Fook, SoHo - Upscale Cantonese cuisine focused on traditional Hong Kong dishes. Chinese barbecue, seafood, wok-fried and claypot offerings. Dinner only with reservations recommended.
  • Yong Fu, Wan Chai – Looking for someplace that the locals flock to? This is the place. Traditional Hong Kong-style cuisine with Ningbo seafood influences leading to incredible dishes such as steamed fish, shrimp in honey sauce, and unique dumplings that you won’t stop eating. Lunch and dinner set menus with 7-8 courses including appetizer, soup, and dessert.

Dim Sum in Hong Kong

Enjoying dim sum in Hong Kong can be a casual experience with a bustling diner atmosphere, or an opportunity for a more refined meal known as “yum cha” where the dishes are more complex and colorful, similar in ways to omakase sushi, where skilled chefs present astonishing food. Whichever you prefer, or perhaps you’ll try both while here, the food is guaranteed to curb any hunger pangs you may be experiencing. Both dim sum styles are so popular and respected that the Michelin guide for Hong Kong features both in their listings. Hear are some highly regarded dim sum/yum cha restaurants that are regularly recommended on multiple Hong Kong dining websites:

Luk Yu Tea House, Central – This is one of Hong Kong’s most revered tea houses with old-world charm and traditional Cantonese dishes. Ranks right up there for an authentic Hong Kong dim sum experience.

Tim Ho Wan, multiple locations including Tsim Sha Tsui and Central – Inexpensive and wonderful with more than 20 dim sum styles offered. Casual, so come as you are. The signature immensely popular dish is the flakey char siu bun but try as many different items (BBQ pork buns!) as you can as the value can’t be beat. This may just be the least expensive Michelin-starred restaurant on the planet.

Mott 32, Central – One of the most awarded Chinese restaurants worldwide, serving dim sum and a full menu featuring Cantonese dishes, as well as those from Shanghai, and Beijing. Elegant and creative cuisine, foodies looking for an upscale modern dining experience will do nicely here.

Tai Wing Wah, Central – A Michelin Bib Gourmand recognized establishment which serves moderately priced dim sum dishes known as “wai tau choi”, meaning walled village food, noticeably different from Cantonese. The walled villages honor the cuisine of the New Territory areas that built walls to prevent attacks from marauding pirates and wild animals. The festive red and gold atmosphere is an ideal ambiance for trying their dim sun, and specialty dishes such as roast duck and steamed sponge cake.

One Dim Sum, Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui locations – Affordably priced, casual, and incredibly delicious Cantonese dim sum. From the steamed buns to the steamed dumplings, rice, and rice rolls, you can’t go wrong here. And the restaurant’s crispy garlic shrimp spring rolls and pan fried raddish cake keeps their patrons coming back.

Of course, there are hundreds of places to find dim sum in this fascinating city. Grab some at a street market, a casual storefront, or in the elegant dining room of a five-star hotel. No matter what style you prefer and what your budget will allow, incredible dim sum is located within walking distance or possibly within your hotel.

What Does Michelin Have To Say About Dining in Hong Kong?

It’s a common misconception that in order to receive a Michelin star or Bib Gourmand recognition a restaurant has to be extremely expensive, opulently decorated, offer elaborate dishes, an extensive wine list, white glove service, and be impossible to garner a reservation at. Nothing could be further from the truth, as Michelin anonymously visits thousands of restaurants around the world each year that range from hole-in-the-wall barbecue joints to the fanciest digs you can imagine, knowing that looks can certainly be deceiving. As one of the world’s great food cities, Hong Kong and neighboring Macau do, at this time have 93 Michelin-star rated restaurants, 72 dining spots that they consider “notable”, and another 70 Bib Gourmand recognized places that offer excellent value and a superb dining experience. A future article about Hong Kong’s dining scene will focus solely on Michelin’s awards in this culinary mecca.

Make Plans For That Once In A Lifetime Trip to Hong Kong

Believe me when I tell you that shortly after you set foot in Hong Kong you’ll be wondering what took you so long to come here. Thankfully my first visit was early in my career, making multiple return trips to this incredible city very possible. The energy that this city exudes, much like New York, Tokyo, London, Rio de Janeiro, and Barcelona, is palpable. The bustling harbor, view from Victoria Peak, Central financial district, SoHo’s dining and creative scene, the endless nightlife in Lan Kwai Fong (LKF), Mong Kok’s food stalls and urban energy, and the shopping and harbor views of Kowloon’s Tsim Sha Tsui, are each in their own way fascinating and energetic neighborhoods that shouldn’t be missed.

Part of the reason to come here is for the diverse culinary opportunities that you may never experience again. All eight cuisines of China are well represented here, from the local Hong Kong/Cantonese (Guangdong) offerings to Sichuan, Hunan, Shandong and beyond. And whether you’re eating on a limited budget or want to explore the fine dining scene, you are assured of out-of-this-world flavors that will simply astound you.
