EATING
Tai Ming Sq in Tai Po town centre has a wealth of restaurants, as well as shops serving old-
style Hakka snacks.
CANTONESE
YAT LOK BARBECUE RESTAURANT
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 2656 4732;5 Tai Ming Lane;meals HK$40-100; 11am-11pm; Tai Po
Market)
Glossy roast goose with shatteringly crisp skin and a pillow of succulent fat is the order of
the day at this family-run eatery, which counts celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain among its
many fans. Char siu (roast pork) is a bit dry, so focus on the bird. Chinese menu only, but
friendly servers will help you order.
DESSERTS
AH PO TOFU

You'll recognise this beloved dau fu fa (sweet silky tofu pudding) shop by the line snaking
down the busy pedestrian street. Sprinkle on palm sugar to taste, then eat while standing be-
fore returning the bowl to the counter.
DAI PAI DONG
TAI PO HUI MARKET
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 8 Heung Sze Wui St;meals HK$30-50; market 6am-8pm, cooked-food
centre to 2am; Tai Po Market)
This modern silver building houses a large, clean and always-busy wet market, with a spa-
cious cooked-food centre on top. Local favourites include stall 27 for pork chop noodles,
and stall 8-9 for dim sum.
Plover Cove
Explore
Plover Cove has only two themes: hiking and cycling. Large parts of it are designated Geo-
park areas, so you'll see rugged rocks and mineral marvels, especially around Plover Cove
Reservoir. Plan a full day here. For an easy walk, the 4.4km Pat Sin Leng Nature Trail is a
good alternative.
