Food Opera at Citygate brings together nine distinctive food stalls from across Asia, offering everything from authentic local flavours to Southeast Asian, Japanese, and Korean choices. Must-try outlets at Food Opera include Tin Hau Station Beef Brisket, most well known for their humble-yet-delicious beef brisket; classic dim sum joint Yu Ming Hin; and Thai Chiu, which has previously been recommended by Michelin for seven years in a row.

  • Jordan

Eaton HK’s Foodhall is a cultural complex that blends together dining with creativity and was inspired in part by founder, Katherine Lo’s fond childhood memories in Hong Kong – from the Jordan noodle shop she recalls visiting with her mother, to family outings with her father at local nostalgic diners, and Wong Kar Wai’s 1990’s films.

Going beyond the offerings of a typical Hong Kong food market, Eaton HK’s Food Hall is a destination for quality local and international cuisine – ranging from congee to handcraft beers, and beyond – and foster a sense of community through an on-site radio station and robust cultural programming that explores important social issues while making an impact on the local community.
