Hong Kong is the dining capital and the Cantonese restaurants in Hong Kong are the miniature of the culinary capital! You can taste 5 kinds of food there.

(1) DIM SUM (mostly serve from 0700-1700, some restaurants have the night time dim sum)

Dim sum is the many different kinds of exquisite little snacks, buns, dumplings, rolls etc. The chefs prepare the dim sum by steaming, frying, deep-frying etc. The main ingredients are pork, shrimp and vegetable. You may regard dim sum, e.g. the famous shrimp dumpling (Ha Gau蝦餃) and barbecued pork bun (Cha Shao Bao叉燒包), as the hot appetizers.

(2) CANTONESE BARBECUE(serve from 1100)

In most Cantonese restaurants, you can find a kitchen-like room next to the entrance. You can find lots of barbecue pork, roasted geese, soy sauce chicken etc behind the room's big window. Busy local workers may buy the lunch boxes there with rice and Cantonese barbecue to take away. You, the leisure travelers, can order a bowl of rice with chicken or barbecue platter to enjoy in the restaurants.  

(3) RICE, NOODLE & RICE NOODLE(serve from 1100)

Apart from the barbecue, the chefs mix the rice, noodle and rice noodle with lots of other ingredients for you.  Like the famous spicy fusion cuisine, fried rice noodle in Singaporean style (Sing Chow Chao Mic星洲炒米), it is made by the barbecue pork, shrimp, chili and onion. You can also have something in soup, e.g. the rice noodle in soup with roasted goose slice & preserved vegetable (Suet Choi For Ap Si Tong Mic雪菜火鴨絲湯米).

(4) MAIN DISHES(serve from 1100)
The main dishes are the perfect combination of the meat, seafood and vegetable. For example, the chefs can use the grouper to make three dishes for you, fried grouper fillet with celery, steam grouper belly and soup with grouper bone.  The restaurants have different set lunch/dinner menus, which consist of different main dishes, for you to choose. As the main dishes are made by the best foods, they are more expensive than dim sum.

(5) DESSERT(serve from 1100)
The set lunch/dinner menus always have desserts included. You can also find them on the dim sum menu and order them separately. Green bean soup(Look Dau Sha綠豆沙), Osmanthus Jelly(Kwai Fa Go桂花糕) etc are common. Some restaurants can offer you something like the 'mango pudding glutinous rice flour roll' (Mon Guo Law Mic Kuen芒果糯米卷) and Pumpkin Soup(Nam Gwa Lo南瓜露).

Mouthwatering??? No need to find the big brand or the one with Michelin Star, just find one Cantonese restaurant on the main roads/in the malls and you can enjoy all the above-mentioned delicacies.

中國北方旅客和亞洲旅客常常會被港式酒家的菜牌嚇倒，因為選擇實在太多了！其實共有五大類食品在港式酒家等候你品嚐。

(1)點心(多由開店至下午五時供應，亦有在晚間夜茶時段供應)
點心是到港式酒家「飲茶」的主角，有包、餃、卷、糕等項，烹調方法包括蒸炒煮炸，某些點心，如一籠有四顆的蝦餃和一籠有三顆的潮州粉果，像中國北方的主食蒸餃子。但港式點心較小和精緻，是小食，不是主食。

(2)燒味(早上十一時起供應)
想填飽肚子，可以吃各式廣東燒味。一起點一隻豉油雞/燒鵝分而食之可以，分開點一碟各式燒味飯「各自搵食」亦可。

想豐富些，可以再點各式粉麵飯。基本上，附帶在粉麵飯的各種食物的搭配是自由的，你可以選「菜遠/蕃茄/涼瓜」配「牛肉/豬肉/斑腩」加白飯，或者你可以選一些歷史尤久的固定配搭，如鳳爪排骨蒸飯、星洲炒米、楊州炒飯等。

(4)主菜(早上十一時起供應)

想吃得好一點，可以點各式主菜。你可以自選，如你選一尾石斑，廚師就可以為你做最少兩道菜，「起肉炒球」和「蒸頭腩」。你也可以選酒家已經整理好的「套餐」，多是幾個菜色配一鍋湯/羹，整桌人可大快朵頤。

(5)甜品(早上十一時起供應)
套餐有包水果和甜品的，多是綠豆沙或紅豆沙。你也可以在點心紙(用來選點心的名單)上找到一些特別的甜食，如芒果糯米卷、高力豆沙、淮山南瓜露，你可以點些點心，一碗燒味飯，加些甜品，不是「大胃王」的話，應該夠了。

肚子餓了嗎???不用找名牌，到大街上或商場中的其中一間港式酒家就可開餐了。

15 August 2015, is the 70th anniversary of Japan's surrender.  Hong Kong was invaded by Japan in 1941.  You can still see Hong Kong's WWII history through five relics in the city of Hong Kong.

(1) Peninsula Hotel
The Christmas decoration of Peninusla Hotel is nice.  But on the Christmas day of 1941, when Japan fully occupied Hong Kong, the grand hotel had no lighting at all because the power station was damaged.  Hong Kong Governor, Mark Young, was forced to sign the armistice in the room 336 of the hotel under dim candle light.

(2) Defense position at Stanley Market

There is still a concrete defense position at the Stanley Market next to a big banyan tree.  Long before WWII, British leaders once guessed that Hong Kong's enemy would come from the sea.  So lots of defense facilities were built on the southern part of the Hong Kong Island.  In 1941, however, Japanese Army came from the north......

(3) Osborn statue at the Hong Kong Park

During the fierce 18-day battle of Hong Kong, defenders fought bravely.  On 19 December, Canadian defender, Company Sergeant Major Osborn and his company were besieged by the Japanese at Mount Butler.  For covering his comrades, Osborn just picked up the Japs' grenades and threw them back to the enemy.  At last, Osborn even threw himself on a grenade to save his comrades.  The hero was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross and a statue was made to remember him.

(4) Private Maxwell's grave near the St John's Cathedral

Private Maxwell was killed in Wan Chai on 23 December 1941, just two days before  the fall of Hong Kong. As that was impossible to ship the Catholic Maxwell's body to the cemetery, his comrades decided to bury him near the Protestant St John's Cathedral.  Later, people led Maxwell rests in peace permanently in Central after the war.

(5) Queen Victoria Statue at Victoria Park

Queen Victoria Statue was once the icon of the Statue Square in Central. For securing more metals to make more weapons before its defeat, Japanese Army decided to 'invite' the queen to go to Japan, i.e. STOLE the bronze statue and tried to MELT it.  After Japanese surrender, the Allied Army found this VIP in a warehouse and sent her back to Hong Kong. In 1957, Hong Kong Government placed the statue at the entrance of a new Victoria Park in Causeway Bay.

二零一五年八月十五日是日本戰敗投降七十年紀念日。日本曾經於二戰時入侵並佔領香港。你可從香港市面的五個遺蹟，就可認識香港的戰爭史。

(1)半島酒店
半島酒店的聖誕燈飾十分華麗，不過在1941年的聖誕夜，那兒卻漆黑一片，因為發電廠已經被戰火打壞了。被日軍打敗的英軍代表港督楊慕琦，只能在336號房內，微弱的燭光下簽署降書。

(2)赤柱市集一碉堡
在繁盛的赤柱市集，仍然有一個英軍碉堡默默守護著一株老榕樹。英軍最初認為香港的敵人會從南中國海入侵，故大力在香港島南方佈防等待敵人。不過，在1941年12月，日軍卻由北方中國大陸攻入香港……

(3)香港公園奧斯本准尉銅像

在18日的香港保衛戰中，加拿大軍准尉奧斯本是其中一位英雄。12月19日，奧斯本和下屬在港島畢拉山被日軍包圍，奧斯本不斷拾起日軍手榴彈，把它們擲向日軍，以掩護戰友撤退。最終在形勢危急下，奧斯本飛身撲向炮彈，犧牲自己救回下屬性命。香港公園內的銅像就是要紀念戰爭英雄奧斯本的。

(4)聖約翰座堂旁戰士麥士維之墓

麥士維在12月23日，即香港淪陷兩天前，在灣仔戰死沙場。戰友無法把他運到墳場，只好把本是天主教徒的麥士維安葬在屬基督教聖公會的聖約翰座堂旁。最終，各方亦沒有再打擾麥士維，讓年輕的英雄永遠安息於中環市區。

(5)維多利亞女皇銅像

維多利亞女皇銅像原本是中環皇后像廣場的亮點。在瀕臨戰敗時，日軍為了得到更多可以製造軍火的金屬，就特地把女皇「請」到日本去，即是把銅像偷了，並準備把它溶掉。日本投降後，盟軍把銅像運回香港。政府最終把銅像安放在1957年興建的維多利亞公園門口。
