In the early years, Hong Kong people used to go to teahouses, make a pot of tea and order two snacks in the morning, which often became a typical example of Hong Kong's food culture in the eyes of westerners. Influenced by Britain, Hong Kong people also like afternoon tea. Most of them eat sandwiches, egg tarts, milk tea and coffee.
Under the influence of foreign restaurants, Hong Kong has developed a unique tea restaurant. At first, it sold some cheap western snacks, such as sandwiches and coffee. Later, it introduced all kinds of traditional stir-fry, and cooked or fished out the old diced, pineapple oil, lemon seven, mandarin duck and so on. And big stalls and ice rooms used to be very common restaurants. In addition, street snacks in Hong Kong are also colorful, such as eggs, glutinous rice cakes, tinkling candy, fried three treasures, bowls and wings. These are all famous and because Hong Kong people have good personalities, some snacks will come and go suddenly like the wind.
Traditional local dishes are mainly Guangfu cuisine, Hakka cuisine and Chaozhou cuisine, while potted dishes are the traditional dishes of indigenous people in the New Territories during festivals. Because Hong Kong is close to the ocean, seafood is also a common dish, and typhoon shelter dishes such as fried crabs have also developed. In addition, the seafood restaurant in Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter is a famous seafood restaurant, while Saigon City, Lamma Island, Liufushan and Kowloon Lei Yue Mun are also popular places for seafood cuisine.
On the other hand, Hong Kong cuisine is also deeply influenced by foreign food culture. There are many bars in Soho, Wan Chai and Tsim Sha Tsui in Central. Since 199 1, Oktoberfest has been held every year in Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui. As for fast food, American fast food is mainly operated by McDonald's and KFC, and Hong Kong has also developed its own Hong Kong-style fast food, among which Cafe de coral, Cafe de coral and Maxim's fast food are the representatives.
