The flight between Amsterdam and Hong Kong takes twelve hours, providing ample time to anticipate the excitement. The city captivates with its crowded markets, steaming dim sum meals, temples nestled among commercial streets, vertical gardens, and green spaces on the outskirts. Upon landing, the atmosphere is immediately intense, colorful, and chaotic. In a narrow alley, a small, family-run restaurant with folding tables and simple chairs exposed to the street burns incense at a small altar, illuminated by neon lights. To the surprise of tourists, a person stir-fries food in a wok over intense flames. The senses are stimulated by a variety of scents, sounds, and flavors. [1]

In the Sham Shui Po district, visitors can enjoy food from street stalls and local coffee shops. In this metropolis, space is a rare resource, and living within limited square meters means that private kitchens are often inadequate. As a result, many residents prefer to have breakfast at these small roadside eateries, ordering food and milk tea, consuming them quickly before continuing with their daily activities. [1]
