Yau Ma Tei

by on in In the hood

Our first ‘In The Hood’ series is dedicated to Yau Ma Tei. We give you one place to explore, another to shop at and finally a great place to rest, relax and taste great beers paired with delicious food.

EXPLORE

Take an afternoon stroll on Shanghai Street. From the Red Brick House to Tin Hau Temple, you’ll immerse yourself in Hong Kong’s history.

Shanghai Street is home to a few community icons, and among the noteworthy is the Red Brick House and the Yau Ma Tei theatre; must-see landmarks of the neighbourhood. If you like kitchenware, on Shanghai Street you’ll find everything you need to stock most restaurants, let alone household kitchens. From egg waffle makers to beautiful moon cake moulds and a phenomenal choice of cookie cutters, you may unearth great finds to bring home as unusual gifts in the countless kitchen supply stores. While you’re at it, at sundown, be sure to visit Temple Street, adjacent to Shanghai Street, where you will be thoroughly entertained by the street stalls selling all kinds of wonderful and whacky things.

SHOP

Wooden chopping boards, mooncake pattern molds, stone, wood, marble and metal mortars and pestles… outfit your entire kitchen at Man Kee Chopping Board.

You’ll recognise the shop when you see stacks of sliced-up tree trunks sitting on Shanghai Street. Man Kee is one of the few shops that specialises in custom-made chopping blocks. They are much sought after by chefs who are looking for a sturdy, long-lasting slab.
