Ap Lei Chau Market Cooked Food Centre

Sharing a building with a market, six dai pai dong operators cook up a storm in sleepy Ap Lei Chau. Pak Kee (6-11.30pm) and Chu Kee (6pm-midnight) both offer simple but tasty dishes in the $40 to $60 range, and affordable seafood selections. You can also buy seafood from the wet market downstairs and pay them to cook it for you the way you want. Every evening, fishermen and dragon boaters come here for the cheap beer (large bottle $12 to $22) and the food. If you don’t mind plastic stools and alpha males trying to out-talk each other, this is the place to go for local flair. It’s a stone’s throw from the Hung Shing shrine.
