Tai On Building

Often overlooked as just a mere deteriorating industrial building, Tai On Building is, in fact, one of the few remaining 1960s-style building still standing in Hong Kong. While many streetside dai pai dongs have since become chain restaurants and gleaming highrise residential blocks now claim the harbourfront, Tai On Building remains a cacophony of street hawkers, old arcades and fluorescent signs, transporting visitors to a Hong Kong of old. This mini time portal has earned a new status as a foodie’s paradise, where you can sample everything from siu mai to beef offal noodles to eggettes. If you are looking to savour authentic local delicacies without breaking the bank, or hoping to venture back in time, this gem in Sai Wan Ho is the place to go.
