We brought you the most Insta-worthy desserts and now it’s time for something savoury, so we’ve found the #foodporn stars of Hong Kong. By Sam Sinha

Hong Kong’s most Instagramable dishes

  • Latin American
  • Central

Picada is the place to go for Latin flavours and its three duck dish hits the spot when it comes to both flavour and beauty. Duck breast, confit leg and egg are served on top of a paella dish of green coriander rice. The contrasting colours make for a particularly like-able photo.

  • Sai Ying Pun

BlackSalt serves colourful and innovative Indian fusion food with quirky twists. The Bomb The Bay omelette – a mountain of egg-stuffed-tortilla, madras candied bacon and green mango pickle with a sunny side up quail egg perched on top – begs to be photographed. Phones at the ready!

  • Chinese
  • Tsim Sha Tsui

Yum Cha creates many little dim sum artworks every day. Its pork buns resemble little cartoon piggies that’re too cute to eat for some but irresistible to others. It’s also famous for its adorable-but-gross custard buns that vomit custard when squeezed.

  • Central

The clue is in the title with this one, as InstaCrepes openly encourages obsessive internet smartphone photography at the table. The most photo-worthy crepe has got to be the Everything Gallette with emmental cheese, bacon, beef, caramelised onions, mushrooms, a fried egg and salad – try fitting all that in your frame!

Chicken eggplant pizza at Health Box

Health Box is arguably one of Hong Kong's most Instagrammable meal programmes. With colourful boxes full of healthy treats, your desk lunch will be racking up the likes. The carb-free chicken eggplant pizza is a colourful snap and with hashtags like #cleaneats and the like, you'll probably gain some followers.

  • Contemporary European
  • Sheung Wan

A-side B-side is all about seasonality, with a farm to table policy for veg, most of which comes from the New Territories. It pairs its vegetables with high-quality imported meat, offering simple dishes with modern touches. The quality shines through on the plate, especially the US striploin – this intricate modern dish will keep you snap-happy.
