If I had just 24 hours in Hong Kong, here’s where I’d eat my heart out—and yes, tea’s coming along! These spots are my musts, and I’d totally drag you with me!

10:00AM — Early Dim Sum at Tuen Kee

Tsuen Wan, Rte Twisk

Tucked away at the foothills of Tai Mo Shan, Tuen Kee is a dim sum and nature love’s heaven—mountains, trees, and those steaming baskets? Yes, please! The view’s a morning hug, and I always try to sneak in my Tangerine Pu’erh with my teaware. After lunch, remember to head to the fields behind the restaurant and pick some watercress by hand for dinner.

Shop B, 2/F, Linway Court, 69-71 Stone Nullah Lane, Wan Chai

Flower Drum is Cantonese comfort food at its finest. Every dish—like Soup of the Lord—comes with a story that warms your soul. It’s fancy but feels like family, and I’m always tempted to sip some tea here too. You’ll leave full and happy. Flowerdrum.com.hk

4:00PM — Mid-Day Coffee at EN coffee

Shop 5, Eastway Towers Block 3, 59-99 Shau Kei Wan Main St E, Shau Kei Wan 

Kam Tung Kitchen is a gem—old-school boatman recipes from the 5th-gen boss who treats you like kin. The food’s hearty, the vibes are homey, and his stories? I’m hooked every time. (Or hit Yardbird for cozy yakitori and tipsy laughs—tough call!) kamtungkitchen.com

9:30PM — Dessert at Fook Yuen Tong Yuan

Shop I-1, G/F, 7 Fuk Yuen Street

Rice balls are my dessert love language, and Fook Yuen nails it. The skin is what impresses me the most - super chewy dough cooked al dente! When wrapped with black sesame and cooked in sweet ginger soup—it’s a warm hug in a bowl. fookyuenhk.com

11:00PM — Bar-Hopping at Kinsman (建民號)

65 Peel St, Central

Kinsman’s got that old Canton charm—think retro vibes and killer drinks. They mix Cantonese spirits with oriental flair, and guess what? Some cocktails use our teas, so that’s always a plus! kinsman
