Although it’s a little confusing to walk from the MTR, we promise it’s worth it. DO NOT, we repeat, DO NOT, leave Hong Kong without trying this!
Opening Hours: Breakfast & Lunch (Halal Dim Sum): 10am – 3pm, Dinner (Halal Cantonese Dishes): 6 – 9pm
Address: 5th floor, Osman Ramju Sadick Islamic Centre, 40 Oi Kwan Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong
2. Islam Food
If you have to pick only one dish at Islam Food, let it be the veal goulash. So crispy and juicy, you’ll be wanting more! But do be careful as you take your first bite, the stew is hot and it may squirt.
Other local dishes we would recommend include the chicken with sesame sauce and beef dumplings.
#HHWT tip: It’s best to visit Islam Food with your friends and family so that you can try a wider range of dishes! Also, if you dislike crowded eateries, try to avoid the 12-2pm lunch peak period.
