“Preserving Time – Sai Ying Pun’s Traditional Flavours and Souvenirs” Guided Tour

DESCRIPTION

Where would you go for a Saturday date in Sai Ying Pun? To a photogenic cafe, or a restaurant serving refined international cuisine? This guided tour takes participants to step into a time tunnel and return to Sai Ying Pun of the last century, exploring the traditional delicacies and food souvenirs that once drew people to the area.

Participants will visit Hop Lee Seafood and Yu Wo Hop Kee, embarking on a journey of smells and flavours to discover the craft behind these intangible heritage foods and learn how these long-established shops have evolved alongside changes in Sai Ying Pun.
