Kowloon City Thai Restaurants
Kai Tak airport may have shut down in 1998, but the neighbourhood of Kowloon City to the northeast of Tsim Sha Tsui is still worth a journey. This is Hong Kong's Thai quarter, and the area's restaurants are the place for a tom yum and green-curry fix. Kowloon City, packed with herbalists, jewellers, tea merchants and bird shops, is worth a postprandial look around.
One of the most authentic Thai restaurants in the area, Friendship Thai Food (2382 8671; 38 Kai Tak Rd; dishes around HK$32-138; ;10:30-15:00 & 18:00-24:30) is always full of Thai domestics.

Chedi
This attractive restaurant, with warm backlit walls and tiny courtyard, serves some of the most authentic Thai food in upbeat, stylish surrounds. There are heaps of choices for vegetarians and - unusual for an Southeast Asian restaurant - the wine list is excellent.

Thai Lemongrass
This quiet, discreet and very smart place serves up such treats as pomelo salad, spicy green papaya salad and mussels in red curry. It is Thai food with a lot of style and a price to match, but it is worth the bucks.

Thai Basil
This restaurant in a mall basement turns out some surprisingly authentic and quite lovely Thai dishes. This may not be a destination but it’s not a bad pit stop while shopping.
