Hidden Food Gems in Cheung Chau

19 April, 2023

Cheung Chau, an outlying island that combines vacation, entertainment, and cuisine. In addition to the well-known restaurants that attract a large number of tourists, there are also many semi-hidden gourmet restaurants. What does semi-hidden mean? They may rest irregularly, close irregularly, and adhere to a policy of selling until sold out, with island residents as their main customers. With such a laid-back attitude, see if you are destined to taste its unique flavor. The editor interviewed a group of Cheung Chau residents and listed ten semi-hidden restaurants that they all highly recommend. Next time you visit Cheung Chau, you may want to give them a try!

 

1. Ling Heung

When it comes to the list of Cheung Chau specialties, satay beef noodles are definitely on the list.

Ling Heung has been standing in Cheung Chau for over 40 years, and its satay soup, a mixture of peanut, garlic, and coconut flavors, is rich and delicious. Paired with the less common thin noodles - "rice macaroni" - which are soaked in the soup, it is an unforgettable experience!
