If willing to enjoy the British-style afternoon tea, you can go to the restaurants in Grand Hyatt Hotel, Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Peninsular Hotel and The Repulse Bay. If interested in traditional Chinese tea and its culture, you can get to the Museum of Tea Ware in Hong Kong Park, admiring old and modern tea wares and learning more about Chinese tea culture.

Having tea has become an important part of Hong Kong people's life. If you ask a native whether Hong Kong has its own characteristic cuisine you might not get an immediate reply. Hong Kong has an eclectic cuisine with roots in the Cantonese culture but with a definite Western flair. The Cantonese people originally brought their cuisine with them to Hong Kong, but over the years, the Western influence here had an impact on the food as well. In order to truly appreciate the food, you should dine in a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant, which is a real gathering of common Hong Kong people. Of course, tipping is not necessary.

There are many tea restaurants in Hong Kong. They typically offer a variety of foods, such as sandwiches, fried eggs, bread, egg tarts, cheese and Cantonese dishes. Also they provide many different kinds of drinks, such as coffee, milky tea, juice, and milk. Hong Kong style milk tea, French toast and fresh Polo Bun are classical parts of Hong Kong morning tea. In addition, there are congees, rice, noodles, barbecue or even seafood served there.
