Good Old Taste: A Walking and Food Tour of Shek Kip Mei

Good Old Taste: A Walking and Food Tour of Shek Kip Mei

Slow Food Hong Kong, in collaboration with Pinsider, is hosting a walking tour of Shek Kip Mei, once a squatter district filled with refugees from China in the 1950s.

On Christmas Eve 1953, the whole area was ravaged by fire. In the aftermath, the government built one of the city’s earliest public estates in Shek Kip Mei. Tai Hang Estate West and Nan Shan Estate became famous in the 1970s, representing the second generation of public estates – with only very few of them left in Hong Kong. Out of tragedy emerged a real community, now full of memories for its residents.

This exploration tour is the second collaboration between Pinsider and Slow Food Hong Kong. (Previously, we presented a tour of Kowloon City, “Food Paradise in the City of Darkness”.)

During this 4.5-hour walking and food tour, we will:

‣ visit the old style shopping mall, wet market, grocery store, outdoor café and more, to experience the daily life of the local community

‣ taste traditional street foods, and try signature dishes at a popular local Chinese restaurant with around 40 years’ history

‣ explore one of the oldest public housing estates, wander into secret places and hear stories from the locals who live in the area

The tour includes lunch at Ben Heung Lau (品香樓) – originally a Shanghainese restaurant established in 1979, revamped in 2002 to serve Hong Kong-style dishes and modern Chinese food. It is the most popular restaurant in Shek Kip Mei, according to Hong Kong’s dining guide OpenRice.

Join us to discover the food, the stories and the ambiance of one of the oldest districts in Hong Kong!
