Few tourists ever visit this Kowloon Bay housing estate, but it’s a window into typical Hong Kong neighbourhood life. Take a break in the so-called 'mushroom huts', a cluster of dining pavilions so named because of the distinctive shape of their roofs. Nestled under a grove of towering horsetail trees, the mushroom huts are home to restaurants that dish up traditional Cantonese cuisine — think steamed fish, sweet and sour pork and spicy black bean clams — as well as afternoon tea time snacks. It’s as authentic a Hong Kong experience as you can get.
