very good, very cheap, very long lines, but it has pork in pretty much everything I think

edit: a few subways stops from the main rubberneck areas

LONG, popular places easily have 1 hour lines

go super early for lunch, be there whenever it opens

LJL at Chinese food without pork (maybe in some vegetarian Buddhist monasteries)

I like Maxim’s Town Hall in Central for dim sum lunch too but get there early as well (edit also pork in everything I guess)

you can be in the city by 11.10 if all goes smoothly and no luggage

another 20 minutes by subway to get to the Prince Edward subway for One DS, or 5 minutes walk for Maxims

probably not yet, soon after 12 in most popular places (HKers are pretty rigid about when they have lunch breaks) but I don’t know for sure with this place

ljl

the view from the Peak is hard to beat though

does she like cooking etc? up near Prince Edward (where that dim sum place is) is Shanghai Street, a little street filled with small shops crammed with chinese cooking implements, including the shop with the cleaver knives that are supposed to be the best around, chinese cooks get them shipped everywhere from this store. it’s pretty cool there, very old school HK

walking tour around Central, the narrow streets once you start going up the hill south of Queen’s Road, is your answer. include the escalator as part of this. couple of temples around there. pork-free Taiwan beef noodles at Kau Kee Food Cafe at 3 Gough Street are good; next door is a great Tsukemen place but the broth is pork. Butao Ramen in Wellington St is great and has a chicken broth option I think.

queen’s road is the natural shoreline before everything north started being reclaimed. everything north of queens road is flat and highrises, everything south of queens road goes up the hill and is narrow streets, generally interesting walking territory especially in the areas around the escalator
