As part of the Kowloon City Hong Kong food tour, we stopped by Chiu Chow Hop Shing Dessert (合成糖水) after finishing an incredible lunch of halal food at Islam Food. Another local classic, Chiu Chow Hop Shing is a traditional dessert shop that still sits in its original location opened in 1955. Featuring Teochew cuisine from Guangdong Province, the shop features 90 Chinese dessert soups.
Living up to its hype, Islam Food 清真牛肉馆 is a family-style Halal restaurant in the Kowloon City neighborhood of Hong Kong and my favorite place to get Pan Fried Beef Buns!

Nestled near Tin Hau and Tai Hang neighborhoods, Jardine's Lookout hike is one of the most unique and if not only hike in Hong Kong that provides panoramic views of both the Hong Kong skyline and Kowloon skyline.

Hong Kong summer can be extremely hot and humid, making it difficult to decide what types of outdoor activities should be considered. Here's my favorite top 5 things to do to cool down the summer heat! Wake surf, wakeboard, Sai Wan Swimming Shed, are some of the outdoor activities hong kong to name a few.
I've come to love wake surf and wakeboarding, especially during the summer months in Hong Kong.
