When it comes to HK, most people think of dim sum, dong lai cha (HK style milk tea), daan tat (HK style egg tart), gai daan jai (egg bubble waffle), maybe going to a cha chaan teng.

For me, it's put chai gou (pudding cake on a stick).

Hot pot with a bunch of friends - beer is a must - maybe not so much for the food itself, but good vibes

Any type of food at 北角東寶 pretty much for the same reason... their "drinking Guinness out of a bowl" is quite an experience, also soy bean sauteed clam 豉椒炒蜆 is very mouth watering.

HK style borscht

It's got an interesting history of how it came to be.

The article mentions the Boston Restaurant in Wan Chai. I'm surprised to hear that it's still running.

You should definitely eat there. It's famous for its sizzling steak platters.
