Food in Asia

There are countless places that offer roast goose in Hong Kong but only a handful can lay claim to being the best. Yat Lok and Kam’s are two of them.

Located indoors, Tung Po isn’t a dai pai dong in the strictest sense but it does embody that same communal street food vibe. To me, this is what Hong Kong dining is all about.

Reserved it seems for smaller establishments that haven’t done enough to earn an actual star, the places on this list are recommended by Michelin Hong Kong as part of the guide’s first ever street food section.

To be honest, we didn’t take a bus to the foothills of Air Itam to visit Kek Lok Si Temple. We went to seek out two of Penang’s most legendary hawker stalls.

Set inside three heritage houses with hip and uber stylish interiors, ChinaHouse is a multifaceted concept that’s hard to put into any one box.

When you continue putting this much time and effort into something, even after 30 years, it can only mean that you love what you do. Without question, the Por family LOVES making these bowls of duck koay chap.

Lok lok is a type of communal steamboat where diners sit around a table with a central pot of boiling water. A wide selection of food ranging from seafood to meats and vegetables is skewered on sticks and placed around the table.

Presented over three courses — starters, mains, and dessert — Chef Malcolm Lee aims to give diners the experience of going to Grandma’s house and being served a thoughtful sequence of lovingly cooked food. It’s an interesting concept we thought, and one that says a lot about Peranakan culture.

Tthe idea of sustainable agriculture is appealing to more and more people these days which is why places like Bohol Bee Farm are becoming so in vogue.

Saving the best for last. This was to be our last meal in Bohol so I made the reservation several days in advance to make sure we got a table. They gave us the best one, right on the beach with an unobstructed view of the sunset.
