About Jade Market (Yau Ma Tei)

A covered market in Yau Ma Tei packed with stalls selling jade bangles, pendants, carvings and other stones, from cheap trinkets to serious pieces. Quality and authenticity vary widely, so enjoy browsing and only buy expensive jade from a reputable dealer. It's a short walk from Temple Street Night Market, so the two combine well.

🍜

Tim Ho Wan

The dim sum shop famous for once being the world's cheapest Michelin-starred restaurant; the original Sham Shui Po branch is now a Michelin Bib Gourmand and has been recognised by the guide for 17 years running. Order the baked barbecue-pork buns, cheung fun and pan-fried turnip cake. Queues move quickly, and solo diners are seated fast.

🍜

Mak's Noodle

A classic wonton noodle shop on Wellington Street, serving small bowls of springy egg noodles and shrimp wontons in a clear, flavourful broth, from a family recipe going back generations. It's tiny, fast and no-frills — you'll likely share a table and be done in 15 minutes. Portions are small, so order a side of noodles with beef brisket too.

🍜

Lung King Heen

The Four Seasons' Cantonese restaurant, which in 2009 became the first Chinese restaurant to earn three Michelin stars; it held them until 2022 and has two stars today. The harbour-view dining room serves refined Cantonese cooking, and its lunchtime dim sum is the most accessible way to try it. Book well ahead, especially for window tables.
