1. Burgers and Sandwiches: For a Satisfying No-Fuss Meal

Perfect as a quick midday fix or a satisfying meal, it is no wonder burgers and sandwiches are on Hong Kongers list of solo eats. These days, of course, sandwiches are available with many types of bread, including healthier wholegrain varieties. You can choose between the opened-face sandwiches, where ingredients such as avocado, cheese slices or meat fillings are placed on top and sprinkled with garnishes such as raisins, pickles and the like, the fancy Pinwheel Sandwich, which looks quite similar to Maki Sushi Roll, where creamy fillings like cream cheese, peanut butter, jams and jellies are rolled into a sandwich with a flatbread (tortilla or lavash). As for burgers, trendy flavours such as Korean chicken burgers, truffle beef burgers and Impossible "meat" ones are all at your fingertips when you order on foodpanda. 

2. Japanese Ramen: Choose from Shio, Shoyu, Miso and Tonkotsu Broths

What could be better than slurping up a hot, authentic bowl of Japanese Ramen in the comfort of your home after a long day of work (or partying)? A really good bowl of Japanese Ramen is a labour of love, sparing no expense in terms of time and cost: to infuse all the delicious umami flavours from the ingredients, the broth must be simmered for days and of course, ingredients must be of the highest quality. All in all, not an easy meal to cook at home! This is where you simply scroll through foodpanda's list of delicious soupy wonders and pick your favourite. Whether it's Shio (salt-based ramen), Shoyu (soy sauce-based ramen), Miso (soybean paste-flavoured ramen) or Tonkotsu (pork bone broth ramen) - slurp them all up in your favourite cosy corner at home.

3. Noodles Soup: You Can't Go Wrong with Easy Wonton Noodles

So beloved is this dish in Hong Kong that it is eaten frequently for breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner and yes, supper. And because it is a symbol of longevity, it is also an important meal to have during Lunar New Year, such as the Yi Mein (flat Cantonese egg noodles that is also known as Longevity Noodles) Braised Beef Soup. If you are up for a challenge, here is what you can order for “A Day of Noodles”. For breakfast, have a warm east-meets-west bowl of macaroni soup with crisp fried luncheon meat and for lunch, slurp up the deliciously springy Mixian, classically made with minced pork and spicy pickled greens. If you’re hankering for a snack during teatime, a bowl of Wonton Noodles will do the trick and for dinner, a hearty bowl of Beef Brisket Noodles. Best thing? Get them all on foodpanda.

4. Rice Bowls: Warm Beef Brisket Rice

A Classic Hong Kong Beef Brisket Curry with Rice

One of the most popular rice bowls enjoyed in Hong Kong are curry rice bowls. A sniff of this dish often sends many a Hong Konger back to their childhood days: the smell of steamed white rice wafting through the house, the cackling sound of onions being sautéed in a pan and fighting with their siblings for more servings of Mama and Papa’s comforting creamy curry dish. There are two main types of Hong Kong-style curry dishes, the first being Chicken Curry on rice where, unlike Indian or Thai curries, the Hong Kong-styled one is a sweet, mild yellow curry. Normally served atop steamed rice, this version of Chicken Curry is also served baked with cheese in cha chaan tengs (cafés)! The second is the hearty and flavourful Hong Kong-style beef curry which is made by slowly simmering curry ingredients. The special thing about Hong Kong's beef curry is that it uses not just meaty beef chunks, but also the innards, brisket, and other parts that make the entire curry beef broth more aromatic.

5. Roasted Meat Rice: Classic Crispy Roasted Pork and Char Siew

Alongside with dim sum, roasted meat rice is synonymous with Cantonese cuisine and the proof is in the tempting window displays. Take a walk down the streets of Hong Kong and you will find eateries with succulent roast meat displayed in full glory at almost every turn. Fancy Chinese restaurants, of course, have a hand in the game and offer this traditional dish in an upscale, well-plated fashion. When you are ordering from online food delivery services such as foodpanda, you'll be spoilt for choice as everything is available. There is the deep red and flavourful char siu pork, roast pork with crisp skin, juicy roast duck, or soy chicken that has been bathed with soy, herbs and wine. All of them are best eaten on a bed of warm white rice, which soaks up all the oozing smoky meat juices. Yum!

6. Street Snacks: Nibble on Sweet Custard Egg Tarts and More

Eating in Hong Kong is great fun: there is an abundance of international cuisine, 63 Michelin-starred establishments as of 2019, but there are also many affordable and equally delicious local snacks found down alleyways and street corners. Whether you crave something savoury like Siu Mai (steamed dumpling), bouncy Gaa Lei Yu Dan (curry fish ball) or a little sweetness such as the Gai Dan Jai (Egg Waffle), Bo Lo Bao (Pineapple Bun) and the world-famous custardy Egg Tarts—you can get them all on foodpanda without going street to street for snacks galore!
