Lan Kwai Fong – A must see for foodies!

Lan Kwai Fong, commonly renowned as LK is a small square of streets in Central, Hong Kong. The area was mainly focused on hawkers before the Second World War, but underwent a renaissance in the mid-1980s. Currently, it is a popular expatriate haunt in Hong Kong for drinking, clubbing and dining. The street Lan Kwai Fong is L-shaped with two ends joining with D'Aguilar Street.

Pros:

• Trendy, open-air restaurants.
  
• A dizzying mix of cuisines.
  
• One of the most popular night time eating areas.
  
• A great place to sit, eat something delicious, and people watch!

Why it’s awesome:

• Hong Kong's food is its beating heart. No other city in the world compares to it in terms of both local cuisine and mastery of a variety of international cuisines. In Hong Kong, it's rare to have a bad meal, and in Lan Kwai Fong, it's nearly impossible.
  
• This area consists of main streets and small alleys that are all crammed with restaurants that are literally stacked on top of one another. You'll find anything you want on these streets, and it'll almost certainly be the best version you've ever had.
  
• It is also the most popular nightlife destination. No matter where you go on Hong Kong Island, your trip will not complete without visiting LKF.

What to do there:

• Bring your appetite with you and spend some time wandering the streets before deciding where to eat. The ground level is just the beginning; look through the directories at the main entrances to the buildings to see what the higher levels have to offer.
  
• There's nothing like sitting on one of the outdoor patios and watching the crowds while enjoying your meal, so make it a point to include it in your itinerary.
  
• If you're in town for the nightlife, LKF is a popular spot to mingle with other travelers and expats. There are numerous bars and clubs, as well as a 7/11 that is open 24 hours a day, where you can usually find the international crowd enjoying a street beer or two (the bars can be quite expensive). But be warned: in LKF, time seems to vanish. You go out for one drink, and the next thing you know, it's 6 a.m.!
