Founded in 1950, Islam Food is famous for its juicy pan-fried beef buns. It’s something that you must order when you visit this restaurant. The soup that explodes from the buns as you bite into them guarantees extreme satisfaction. The restaurant is also famous for their pan-fried beef dumplings, lamb dumplings and even xiaolongbao with beef or lamb. If you’ve never had xiaolongbao because they are normally made with pork, then Islam Food is definitely the place to check out whilst you’re visiting Hong Kong.

As most of the food will be rich in carbs and grease (translation: gobsmackingly good!), do avoid going on your own as you may struggle to decide what to order because everything just looks that delectable. Bring a friend or a loved one and share a few dishes – it will be totally worth it!

Cheapo tip: Go early for lunch or dinner to avoid long queues and avoid public holidays if you can. Due to its famous beef buns, Islam Food is popular not just only among Muslims, but also locals!
