6D5N Hong Kong Itinerary for the Young Muslim Traveller — Hidden Gems, Local Halal Food and Quintessential Attractions

Hong Kong said Nei hou and I answered Waalaikumusalam .

I visited Hong Kong once in 2015 and all I remember from the itinerary was Halal Dim Sum from Islamic Canteen, The Peak and Hong Kong Disneyland — obviously. 

I enjoyed myself on that trip but I knew Hong Kong had much more to offer.

Now that I’m a little older (and a little bit more aware of my surroundings), I returned to Hong Kong with the intention to uncover their alternative side all while keepin’ it Halal 💯 We explored the artsy aspects of Hong Kong, found prayer areas throughout the city and chilled at Insta-worthy Muslim-friendly cafes!

If you’re Muslim and looking to explore the Muslim-friendly sides of Hong Kong, here’s our six-day itinerary covering where to eat, where to pray and where to play.

Day 1:   Central  |  Day 2: Hong Kong Disneyland  |  Day 3:   Causeway Bay  |  Day 4: Ocean Park |  Day 5: Kowloon  |  Day 6: Tai O Fishing Village

Day 0: Arriving in Hong Kong

Transport: Public transport is affordable and well-connected in Hong Kong. Pro-tip: Get this bundle via Klook , which includes an Octopus Card preloaded with HK$150 (~S$25.50) and a Hong Kong 4G SIM Card for eight days.

Hong Kong Goodies: As a welcome gift, travellers staying in Hong Kong for 90 days or less are eligible for Hong Kong Goodies (worth HK$100, ~S$17)! Choose from over a million vouchers including free welcome drinks at bars, cash vouchers for restaurants, shops or attractions, or exclusive gifts from attractions or museums.

Check into InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong

Home for the week was at InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong . It’s pricey but being less than a 15-minute walk from three MTR stations (Tsim Sha Tsui, East Tsim Sha Tsui & Hung Hom Station) and Chunking Mansions (an area with a lot of Halal food) made it worth the splurge.

Their willingness to accommodate our Halal dietary requirements for the breakfast buffet was a plus! They differentiated Halal dishes with different coloured tags and placed reminders to only use designated utensils for Halal items.

*Note: Send your dietary requirements in advance to the hotel’s Reservations Department via [email protected] to ensure ample lead time for arrangements to be made.

It was late when we checked-in, so we opted for in-room dining for dinner!

The Halal In-Room Dining menu has an extensive range of Asian and Western dishes so I chose the vegetarian Oven-baked Lasagna with Prawn and Avocado Salad. I loved the creaminess of the béchamel (white sauce) in the lasagna and the spicy tangy kick from the salad dressing.

After the very filling meal, I had a good night’s rest in their comfy bed and spacious room.

Fun fact: There’s a pillow menu to choose from if the fluffy standard pillows aren’t to your liking 😉.

Cost: From S$265 (~HK$1,557)/night Address: 70號 Mody Rd, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong

Day 1: Appreciate Central’s Contrasting Landscapes

Located on Hong Kong Island, Central is a blend of the old and new with historical architecture and towering skyscrapers.

Guided Central Street Art Tour

Starting our Hong Kong adventure with a street art tour, our guide Alexandra from Wanderlust Walks introduced us to works around Central.

Our tour started from Lower Lascar Road and by the time we ended at Shing Wong Street, I had a new appreciation for street art.

We saw works from local Hong Kong artists like Mooncasket — best known for her colourful quirky creatures inspired by retro cartoons — and international artists like Invader — French street artist known for ceramic tile mosaics of pixelated art from 8-bit video games like Space Invaders!

This mural by Ceet features his signature Chicanos!

Having Alexandra explain the artists’ processes of the murals and graffiti made me more invested in the pieces.

A striking story was about how an Algerian artist Ceet began his artistic journey — he had difficulty communicating in restaurants overseas so he started drawing his orders!

Guided Street Art Tour Cost: From HK$2,000 (~S$340.50 for 1 – 3 pax, cost remains the same even if only 1 pax, extra HK$300 (~S$51) for each additional participant above 3pax) Tour timings: Anytime between 10AM – 4PM, depending on the tour Meeting point: Varies depending on the tour

Free Alternative: Art Lane

Alternatively, if you prefer a free and easy art walk, head to Art Lane .

Ki Ling Lane and Chung Ching Street are fully painted from wall to wall with bright and fun murals by both local and international artists. There’s even art on the stairs!

The ‘Rainbow Staircase’ is what you’ll usually see when Google-ing Art Lane but be sure to check out ‘Music Town’ by local Hong Kong artist Zue Chan too! The piece is inspired by Vienna’s vibrant local shops and it leads to another section of Art Lane!

*Pro-tip: Visit on weekday afternoons for fewer crowds or at night to see the lane lit by fairy lights!

Opening hours: 24hrs How to get there: Sai Ying Pun MTR station Exit B3

Muslim-friendly offerings around Hollywood Road

Both street art options are in the central area which is a great opportunity to explore Hollywood Road after the tour. This historical road is lined with vintage shops, cafes, art galleries, and several Halal food spots!

Our lunch stop was an Indian food buffet at Jashan Celebrating Indian Cuisine .

I loved the cosy ambience and how we could sample what seemed like every North Indian curry in one place 🤭

Jashan Celebrating Indian Cuisine Cost: From HK$148/pax (~S$24) Opening hours: 12PM – 2:30 PM, 5:45PM – 10PM Address: 1/f, Amber Lodge, 23 Hollywood Rd, Central, Hong Kong

If you prefer a quick takeaway of burgers, kebabs, and rice bowls instead, check out Cheeky Buns !

We then walked 10 minutes to Jamia Mosque for our afternoon prayers. This mint-green mosque is the oldest mosque in Hong Kong and has recently been considered a historical monument of the city!

*Note: Toilets here are equipped with ablution areas and bidets.

Jamia Mosque Opening hours: 6AM – 7PM (depending on prayer times) Address: 30 Shelley St, Mid-Levels, Hong Kong

Central Market & Central Mid-levels Escalator

Central Market was the city’s first wet market and it operated as such till 2003. It’s now an aesthetically pleasing hip spot with small local shops, international food, and…AIRCON. It was a cooling break from the hot summer weather during our visit.

While food options were mostly located on the ground floor, Level 1 and 2 were filled with small locally designed items and uniquely Hong Kong trinkets like the iconic ‘Black & White’ cha chaan teng teacup.

There was a lot to explore so we took our time browsing (and taking plenty of OOTDs 🤭).

Central Market Opening hours: 10AM – 10PM Address: 93 Queen’s Road Central, Central, Hong Kong

After that, we exited at Level 2 for the Central Mid-levels Escalator — the longest outdoor covered escalator system in the world and a recurring film location in Wong Kar-wai’s Chunking Express ! 

Central Mid-levels Escalator Opening hours: 6AM – 12AM Address: Jubilee St, Central, Hong Kong

Central Pier & Central and Western District Promenade

Central Pier is not just a scenic viewpoint of Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong’s skyline — it’s a functioning ferry terminal that connects Hong Kong Island with Kowloon and the outlying islands!

Surrounded by notable landmarks like the International Finance Centre (IFC) , walking along the promenade emphasised Hong Kong’s opulence.

Fun fact: The IFC is the second tallest building in Hong Kong — the International Commerce Centre (ICC) is the tallest!

During our visit, we also got to see DOUBLE DUCKS floating on Victoria Harbour 😆🦆 Known for his large public art installations, Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman brought the ‘Rubber Duck’ to Hong Kong back in 2013 and other cities like Seoul and Los Angeles.

Now 10 years later, it returns with a friend because, as Hofman says, “Double duck is double luck”. Pictured above is a single duck because his friend deflated from the heat. #relatable

Even though the ducks departed from the harbour on 18 June 2023, we hope we don’t have to wait another 10 years for their return 🤭!

*Pro-tip: Catch a sunset ferry ride (from HK$4, ~S$0.70) to Kowloon or Tsim Sha Tsui for bougie vibes.

Opening hours: 24hrs Address: Central, Hong Kong

Day 2: Spend a day in the happiest place on earth — Hong Kong Disneyland!

A Hong Kong itinerary isn’t complete without stopping by the happiest place on earth — but a few things have changed in Hong Kong Disneyland since my 2015 visit: – The park is closed on some days so refer to  Park Calendar when planning your visit – Reservations (up to 90 days in advance) are required before your visit

Read more: Hong Kong Disneyland Guide (updated in 2023)

New Marvel attractions have opened in Tomorrowland too! We rode the 3D motion simulator Iron Man Experience and the kid-friendly Ant-Man and The Wasp: Nano Battle — which was a good respite from more intense rides like Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars.

Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars is my favourite ride!

Our adventure ended with “Momentous” Nighttime Spectacular — Hong Kong Disneyland’s nighttime fireworks and LED projections show at the Castle of Magical Dreams. I can’t confirm or deny that tears were shed during the show.

*Pro-tip: Take your time to explore the park and save ~S$25.70 with the 2-Day Fun Special Package ! Plus, get extra perks like merchandise vouchers worth HK$10 (~S$1.70) and a Buy-1-Get-1-Free Popcorn Scoop voucher!

Entrance fee: From S$100 via Klook Opening hours: Varies Address: Lantau Island, Hong Kong

Halal food at Tahitian Terrace

Halal status: Halal-certified by The Incorporated Trustees of The Islamic Community Fund of Hong Kong

For now, Tahitian Terrace in Adventureland is the only Halal-certified restaurant in Disneyland. Choose from a selection of Southeast Asian food — we tried the Seafood Laksa (HK$130, ~S$22).

It’s a steep price for a vermicelli noodle Laksa but considering you get a fair bit of ingredients, I think it’s fairly priced for Halal amusement park food.

Cost: From HK$130 (~S$22.50) Opening hours: 11AM – 8:30PM How to get there: Head to Adventureland

Mystic Point ‘Quiet Room’

Photo credit: Hong Kong Disneyland

Other than Halal food, Hong Kong Disneyland’s Muslim-friendly spaces also include their Quiet Room at Mystic Point. It’s a room for anyone who needs a quiet space — even those who wish to do their prayers! The room isn’t segregated by gender but the ablution area has a privacy curtain.

*Note: It’s best to bring your own prayer mats and garments but you can also request to borrow a mat from Guests Relations at Main Street!

How to get there: Head to the toilets at Mystic Point

Day 3: Live Like a Bougie Local

Compact with tall skyscrapers, luxury hotels and shopping malls, Hong Kong Island is known for its upscale vibe.

Dim Sum brunch at Islamic Centre Canteen

Halal status: Halal-certified by the Incorporated Trustees of the Islamic Community Fund of Hong Kong

What’s a trip to Hong Kong without trying the local Halal Cantonese food?

The dim sum at Islamic Centre Canteen was my gateway to appreciating authentic Chinese food back in 2015 when I was 15 and still very new to diverse flavours. I distinctly remember how my family loved it so much that we ordered some to-go for snackies at The Peak.

This restaurant has stood the test of time and is just as delectable in 2023. They serve zi char style dishes like Braised Fish Fillet but we went straight for the dim sum — a lot of it. My favourites were the Pan Fried Chicken Bun, Crispy Deep-Fried Chicken Chinese Style, and Steamed Butter Egg Cake.

Cost: From HK$18/basket (~S$3) Opening hours: 10AM – 8PM (visit before 3PM as their dim sum sells out fast!) Address: 40 Salvation Army Street, Wan Chai 5/F, Masjid Ammar And Osman Ramju Sadick Islamic Centre, Hong Kong

Arte M is an immersive media exhibition of LED Light Projections showcasing selected highlights from d’strict ARTE MUSEUM in Korea. Their theme ‘ETERNAL NATURE’ features seven rooms with different projections.

Some rooms had their walls and floors fully covered in light projections. AURORA BEACH had luminous aurora waves coming up and out from the walls and floor while FLOWER CAMELLIA had floor-to-ceiling blooming flowers.

WHALE was a unique piece for me as it appeared to be a projection of random waves at first but was actually a whale made out of water!

Entrance fee: From HK$88/pax (~S$15.20) Opening hours: 11AM – 7PM (opens 10AM on Sat, Sun & Public Hols.) Address: 2F, K11 HACC, K11 ATELIER King’s Road, Hong Kong

Causeway Bay

I always have time for shopping in my itinerary — especially in Hong Kong.

High-end boutiques, trendy fashion outlets, and entertainment options surround all corners in Causeway Bay . This vibrant district is a shopper’s paradise for anyone looking to splurge 💅

But if you’re a broke creature of habit like me — you can always count on a Uniqlo or Muji for a reasonably priced shopping spree.

How to get there: Take the Shau Kei Wan – Kennedy Town tram to Jupiter Street or the MTR Island Line to Fortress Hill Station and walk 5mins.

Dinner at JAJA, a vegetarian-friendly cafe

Halal status: Vegetarian, alcohol is served

I thought I stepped into a Barbie movie when I entered JAJA’s elaborately pink cafe.

Pink walls, pink flowers, and the Vegas-style sign screamed glitz and glamour. The elaborately-made pastel-coloured drinks and desserts added to the ostentatious vibe. But maximalist décor aside, the food was actually really good!

The dishes that stood out to me the most were the Smokey Corn Ribs (HK$99, ~S$17) and the Living Maki Platter (HK$328, ~S$55.80). They were so well seasoned and flavourful that my carnivorous self was totally okay with it being 100% vegetarian.

Cost: From HK$99 (~S$17) Opening hours: 11:30AM – 10PM Address: 6/F, Hong Kong Arts Centre, 2 Harbour Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong

Day 4: Get up close with animals at Ocean Park Hong Kong

I’ve always been intrigued by the concept of rollercoasters and animal exhibits all in one place. But beyond the fun to be had, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Ocean Park Hong Kong also has a commitment to marine conservation!

I appreciated how the exhibits and shows in the park were educational and how they promoted awareness and understanding of both marine life and wildlife.

Opportunities to get up close with the park animals were also plenty — I got to feed the penguins !

The rollercoasters were pretty solid too! We went on Hair Raiser — a floorless high-speed coaster with inversions, loops, and drops. It was intense and my hair was indeed, RAISED.

Entrance fee: HK$498/pax (~S$86.10) Opening hours: 10AM – 7:30PM (check park schedule for operating days) Address: Aberdeen, Hong Kong

Halal Food at Clown Corner

We were happy to see that Ocean Park Hong Kong had many Halal Asian food options like Café Ocean — where you can dine with a Seaview — and Panda Café Food To Go.

We wanted to stay close to park rides so we dined at Clown Corner at Thrill Mountain, and really enjoyed the hearty Yunnan Rice Vermicelli in Soup with Beef Brisket. The soup was mildly herbal with tender chunks of beef.

Cost: From HK$70 (~S$12) Opening hours: 10AM – 7:30PM

Prayer Room at Guest Relations

Ocean Park’s prayer rooms are located at Guest Relations — one at the main entrance and another at The Summit near Rev Booster. It’s best to use the former room as it’s always open and equipped with staff who’s ready to assist.

*Note: Bring your own prayer garments and mats and take your ablution at the nearby toilets.

Day 5: Explore West Kowloon’s Artsy Offerings

In recent years, West Kowloon Cultural District has become Hong Kong’s arts and cultural quarter to encourage experimentation and creation among local and international artists.

Our itinerary for the day involved exploring the district’s arts scene, architecture and local Hong Kong snacks!

Inside the mirror room of Yayoi Kusama: Dots Obsession—Aspiring to Heaven’s Love !

As someone who mostly consumes Western art and media, walking through M+ ‘s Asian 20th and 21st-century visual culture collection was refreshing!

We visited Things, Spaces, Interactions — an exhibition about Asian design and architecture. What caught my eye were the hyperreal airbrush posters from the 70s and 80s in the postmodern design era.

(Left) The album design of Anita Mui’s 1984 Leap the Stage album by Alan Chan (Right) A poster for PARCO department store in Tokyo by Yamaguchi Harumi

Even though the three posters were created by different artists — Cahyono Abdi from Jakarta, Yamaguchi Harumi from Tokyo and Alan Chan from Hong Kong — it was interesting to see how all three similarly depicted women as confident, glamourous and superhuman.

Entrance fee: From HK$120/pax (~S$20.80) Opening hours: 10AM – 6PM (closes 10PM on Fri, closed on Mon) Address: 38 Museum Drive, West Kowloon Cultural District, Hong Kong

Xiqu Centre

Photo credit: West Kowloon Cultural District

Made up of over 10,000 curved metal fins, you wouldn’t think this modern building is a Cantonese opera house and Chinese traditional theatre.

Xiqu Centre’s mesmerising architecture makes every inch of the space an IG-worthy stop in our Hong Kong itinerary. Shows and performances usually happen from Thursdays to Sundays but you don’t need to catch a Chinese opera to enjoy the space — the public area is free for anyone to hang out!

We managed to visit public exhibitions about the history of performing arts in Hong Kong before chilling on the atrium’s large seating steps — while sipping on bubble tea of course.

Entrance fee:  Free Opening hours:   10AM – 10:30PM How to get there:   Austin Station Exit E

Imperial Patisserie

For a unique take on souvenirs, head to Imperial Patisserie . They have several outlets throughout the city (e.g. in Central Market) and it’s the only fully halal pastry shop selling Michelin-level Hong Kong pastries like egg rolls and moon cakes.

If you’re unsure of what to buy, get the Palmiers. Imperial Patisserie spent years perfecting its Palmier recipe so you know you’re getting a quality product.

The Original Palmiers are a buttery and crispy treat — but the Eight Flavours Assorted Palmiers Gift Box (HK$308, ~S$52.40) lets you try other bold flavours like Five Grain and Chilli (made with five types of chilli 🥵).

*Pro-tip: Less than a minute’s walk away is Kowloon Mosque — the biggest mosque in Hong Kong!

Cost: From HK$138 (~S$23.90) Opening hours: 10:30 AM – 9:30PM Address: Shop 5, G/F, Haiphong Mansion, 53-55 Haiphong Road, Tsim Sha Tsui ( and other outlets )

Day 6: A relaxing day trip at Tai O Fishing Village

On our last day, we escaped the city and took a day trip out to the serene Tai O Fishing Village ! Located on Lantau Island, this former fishing settlement is a preservation of Hong Kong’s traditional fishing culture.

We hopped on a scenic boat ride (HK$30, ~S$5.10/pax) to see traditional houses on stilts and pink dolphins — we didn’t see any 🙃.

From the mom-and-pop shrimp paste shops to low-rise metal houses, this pedestrian-friendly village was a stark difference compared to Hong Kong’s metropolis. Tai O is mainly a place to unwind and enjoy the sights so a half day is sufficient to appreciate the island.

Ferry timings:  First ferry departs Tung Chung at 7:30AM, last ferry leaves Tai O at 6:30PM How to get there:  Take bus 11 from Tung Chung Station Bus Terminus, or ferry from Tung Chung New Development Pier

Vegetarian-friendly desserts in Ching Kee

After an afternoon of walking in the heat, Ching Kee’s local desserts were perfect for cooling us down. We tried their tasty ginger milk pudding, and creamy beancurd and mango ice cream pudding — a very interesting combination!

Do note that they serve meat items as well so dine at your own discretion.

While there are plenty of seafood eateries in the village — it’s best to pack snacks before heading to Tai O as we didn’t come across any Halal food places.

Ching Kee Opening hours: 11:30AM – 8PM (12PM – 9PM on Mon) Address: 82 Kat Hing St, Tai O, Hong Kong

Direct Flight from Singapore to Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific Airways

Cathay Pacific has several daily flight timings to choose from and comfortable seats with ample legroom!

The 4-hour ride was a pleasant one with its comfortable seats and ample legroom. What took me by surprise is the extensive list of titles in their in-flight entertainment system! They had a suite of recent titles from HBO Max and A24 so it’s no wonder it’s said to be the largest entertainment library in Asia Pacific.

Steamed pumpkin with a meat curry and vegetables .

The Halal meals too were tasty, thoughtful, and creative — I got the steamed fish with couscous (North African dish of small steamed granules of rolled semolina) on the flight back!

*Pro-tip: Make a Halal meal request at least 24 hours before your flight on the ‘Manage Booking’ page for a doubt-free inflight meal.

Fun fact: All meals on Cathay Pacific flights to and from Indonesia, Bangladesh, Malaysia and the Middle East are Halal!

Cathay Pacific also has a physical retail store at Cityplaza in Hong Kong! You can find anything from home goods to exclusive Cathay Pacific merchandise.

If you’re a member, you can maximise your shopping online and offline by earning up to 1 mile for every HK$3 (~S$0.50) spent in a combination of miles and cash.

Opening hours: 11AM – 9PM Address: Shop 233, 2/F, Cityplaza, 18 Taikoo Shing Road, Taikoo Shing, Hong Kong

Navigating Hong Kong as a Muslim

As someone who obviously doesn’t look East Asian, I can get away with not knowing Cantonese as locals would always accommodate and speak English.

But part of the joy of travelling is attempting the local language. Here are some phrases I found useful:

Hong Kong is vibrant on all fronts. From Muslim-friendly food to creative spaces, it was exciting to revisit the places from my previous Hong Kong itinerary, as well as discover new spots.

We hope this Muslim-friendly Hong Kong itinerary inspires you to book a flight to The Pearl of the Orient soon!

A halal guide to Hong Kong

Hong Kong’s efforts to accommodate Muslim citizens and visitors alike has resulted in a city that now proudly possesses six mosques, 62 halal-certified restaurants and food outlets, and the only Disneyland in the world with halal options. If you’re travelling to or from Hong Kong on a Cathay Pacific flight, halal food options are available, while HKIA itself provides two prayer rooms complete with ablution facilities, as well as a Popeye’s restaurant with halal items on the menu.

Halal Chinese cuisine

Muslims in the know head straight to the Islamic Centre Canteen for its delicious dim sum. Famed as the only halal Cantonese food in Hong Kong, it serves up tasty and affordable beef, chicken and seafood dumplings. At Ma’s , a Chinese restaurant with the best veal goulash pastry in town, Mr. Ma and his family serve up juicy meat dishes – including a particularly good lamb roll – that pack a flavoursome punch. Eating roast duck is an essential part of any Hong Kong itinerary so it's good news that halal eatery  Wai Kee  exists to provide Muslim visitors with this local staple. Arrive hungry because your plate will soon be heaped high with its renowned roast duck, resplendent in its beautifully golden skin. For curry lovers, there are scrumptious lamb, beef and chicken options on offer.

Malaysian and more South East Asian cuisine 

While the majority of Hong Kong’s halal restaurants tend to be Indian or Middle Eastern, the smartly decorated Spice in Tsim Sha Tsui offers a pan-Asian menu that includes fresh, spicy dishes taken from Malaysian, Thai and Indian cuisines. At Syed Bukhara in Kowloon, local Malaysian dishes and Singaporean dishes are served in a casual atmosphere at wallet-friendly prices. Order the nasi lemak, a Malaysian breakfast speciality where fragrant rice is adorned with spicy sambal, deep-fried anchovies, fried peanuts and boiled eggs. Or you can follow the lead of traveling Indonesians who flock to Warung Malay in Causeway Bay for an authentic taste of home. A huge variety of filling Indonesian dishes are on display behind the counter of this popular cafe, from the rice-based nasi goreng to chicken satay with peanut sauce.

Best places for an Indian feast

At Aladin Mess , finger-licking halal Indian food – think tikka meats, vegetarian curries and a full tandoori leg of lamb – is served in a small, perennially popular restaurant in the midst of bustling Causeway Bay. The cozy Shaffi’s opened in 1972 and first served curries to the British military; these days, its wide selection of meat and vegetarian curries draws an appreciative crowd who will queue for their supper. At JoJo Indian Cuisine , another stalwart on the scene since the ‘80s, all the usual treats are on offer, as well as a wide selection of indulgent Indian desserts. Save room for the cottage cheese dumplings. Got money to burn? Head to Bombay Dreams , an acclaimed restaurant with superb food. For lunchtime diners, the buffet option is great value for money. 

Middle Eastern and Mediterranean 

At Sumac , an atmospheric Lebanese restaurant with classic French windows and rustic furnishings, patrons can enjoy al fresco dining on its outdoor terrace. The Mediterranean menu includes mezze staples like hummus and labneh, juicy chunks of grilled meats and seafood, and fresh fattoush salad with toasted pita bread and tangy citrus dressing. If you head to Lantau Island for the day, swing by Bahce Turkish restaurant for tasty mezze and chicken and beef kebabs served with a side of bread to mop it all up. Or there’s Kowloon-based 1453 Ottoman , which prides itself on fantastic doner kebabs, Turkish-style pide and cheese rolls stuffed with feta and parsley. 

Theme parks 

The kids will go crazy at Hong Kong’s Disneyland Resort , a spectacular theme park that melds traditional elements of Chinese culture with all the expected Disney-centric attractions. Better yet, the park sells halal-certified food at three of its on-site restaurants, as well as offering halal dishes on its room service menu at the Disneyland Hotel. Theme park aficionados should also devote a day to Ocean Park , an amusement park with a marine angle. Educational sea life exhibits sit alongside thrilling rides and the world’s largest aquarium dome. When you’re hungry, choose from a selection of dishes at two halal-friendly eateries. 

Hong Kong’s mosques 

Home to approximately 250,000 Muslims, Hong Kong boasts five mosques dotted around the city. The oldest, Jamia Mosque, was first built in the 1840s and can be found on Hong Kong Island. Kowloon Mosque – which can accommodate 3,500 worshippers at once – is a grand structure that reflects the unique identity of Muslims in Hong Kong while Ammar Mosque was designed by a Chinese Muslim and includes a halal bakery, medical services, classrooms and library. Chan Wan Mosque is a small worship space, but it’s luxuriously fitted in white marble, and Ibrahim Mosque – completed in 2013 – is the city’s newest addition.

Visit Tsim Sha Tsui 

The neighbourhood of Tsim Sha Tsui also goes by another name: Paradise of Shoppers. Browse this heavily built-up area bursting with shopping malls, restaurants and bright lights before ending up at the Avenue of Stars promenade, which boasts a star-studded walkway honouring local celebrities. The Kowloon Mosque and Islamic Centre are a short walk away, as are a number of halal-certified restaurants, including The Great Indian Kebab Factory and the more affordable Ebeneezer’s Kebab & Pizzeria (both non-Muslim but 100% halal).

Halal-friendly hotels

The Butterfly on Morrison brings modern amenities and sleek style to the heart of Causeway. Within walking distance of Ammar Mosque (which has a halal canteen of its own), the hotel’s central location sits close to a wide range of Indian and Middle Eastern eateries. The four-star Kowloon Hotel is another comfortable option, ideally located near an abundance of shops, markets and halal-certified restaurants.

Your Guide For Muslim-Friendly Wan Chai, Hong Kong

muslim-friendly wan chai

Being a commercial and cultural hub, Wan Chai offers an eclectic mix of Hong Kong – from the old to the new. Slices of Hong Kong history are still very much alive in the neighbourhood such as the Blue House and the city’s iconic trams. Amongst these historic elements, new life blooms into the neighbourhood with the arrival of indie shopping areas and skyscrapers. This dynamically evolving neighbourhood is a must-visit when in Hong Kong.

If you need one more reason to pay this district a visit, well it’s because it is also Muslim-friendly! Firstly, one of Hong Kong’s largest and most visited mosques, the Ammar Mosque, is located right here in Wan Chai. Also, the neighbourhood is teeming with Halal food. In fact, about one-third of Hong Kong Island’s Halal-certified establishments can be found in Wan Chai!

Don’t know where to start exploring the coolest neighbourhood in Hong Kong? Here’s a curated guide on what to eat, see and do in Wan Chai to kickstart your journey:

What to eat muslim-friendly wan chai

Islamic centre canteen.

But not to worry, if you miss out on the dim sum, the restaurant still offers delectable Chinese dishes such as Shrimp Wanton in Noodle Soup and Deep Fried Chicken with Sweet & Sour Sauce.

Address: 5/F, Masjid Ammar and Osman Ramju Sadick Islamic Centre, 40 Oi Kwan Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong Island Hours: Weekdays, 11am – 9pm; Weekends, 10am – 9pm Contact: +852 2834 8211

Ammar Mosque and Osman Ramju Sadick Islamic Centre – simply known as Wan Chai Mosque – is one of the biggest mosques in Hong Kong. The Islamic Centre got its name from the mosque’s designer, Ramju Sadick, who is a Chinese Muslim. Besides being a place of prayer, this eight-story complex also houses an Islamic Centre, a canteen and a library. This mosque is definitely a must when visiting Wan Chai!

See Hong Kong’s History at The Blue House Cluster

When you stroll along Stone Nullah Lane, you simply cannot miss a cluster of colourful houses. The Blue House Cluster is made up of three interconnected buildings – the Blue House, the Yellow House, and the Orange House – which are aptly named after their vibrant-coloured exterior. Besides being the perfect spot for Instagram shots, these buildings also represent a piece of Hong Kong’s history.

The most significant of the three is the Blue House, which is one of the few remaining examples of a tong lau , a type of residential building with balconies as a notable feature. This architecture is popular in the 1920s – blended both Chinese and Western features. This well-preserved building was given the Award of Excellence in the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation 2017, which is the highest level of its kind!

See Hong Kong’s Culture at Wan Chai Market

There’s no better place to experience the culture of a country than at a market. And out of all the markets in Hong Kong, Wan Chai Market is said to be one of the best. One part of the market is the wet market where you can get fresh produce and catch a glimpse of the locals’ way of life.

Another section of the market is called the Wan Chai Street Market. Also called “Wan Chai Toy Street”, the street market is the best place to get affordable souvenirs. From traditional Chinese toys to novelty trinkets, there is bound to be a perfect gift for your loved ones here.

See Hong Kong’s Skyline at Bowen Road

When seeking for the best view of Hong Kong’s stunning skyline, most tourists would flock to the famous Victoria Peak. You can avoid the crowds and get an alternative perspective of Hong Kong by hiking up Bowen Road. Imagine being surrounded by lush greenery while having a great view of densely-packed skyscrapers. You’re getting the best of both worlds!

What to do muslim-friendly wan chai

Shop at star street precinct .

If Singapore has Haji Lane, Hong Kong has the Star Street Precinct. The Star Street Precinct – comprised of Star Street, Moon Street and Sun Street – is every millennial’s shopping paradise. The hip area is packed with quaint shops that sell a variety of unique items such as perfume, handicrafts and even coffee. The walls of the streets are also decorated with a kaleidoscope of murals that’ll be the perfect backdrop for your Instagram photos.

Chill at Sau Wah Fong 

As the Star Street Precinct is gaining popularity, you may want to seek respite at Sau Wah Fong. Tucked away from the bustling neighbourhood, Sau Wah Fong is a quaint lane that offers both the old and new, as it is lined with charming cafes and old-school businesses. Take your time to window shop or have a chat with your friends over coffee. Sau Wah Fong is the place to take a breather from the fast-paced city.

Ride a tram through Wan Chai

Although the iconic trams in the picture above run throughout Hong Kong Island, the tramways within Wan Chai – especially along Hennessey Road, Lockhart Road and Jaffe Road – are some of the busiest. The trams are also best photographed in Wan Chai, as colourful buildings and flashing neon signs provide an excellent backdrop that embodies Hong Kong.

These trams are locally known as “Ding Ding” trams because of the unmistakable sound their horns make. Hop on a tram and hear it in action for yourselves! With over 100 years of history, these trams aren’t exactly the fastest mode of transportation. Nonetheless, it is an excellent way to immerse in history while having plenty of time to take in the sights and sounds of Wan Chai.

Take the Star Ferry from Wan Chai Pier

Did you know that there’s more than one way to experience Hong Kong’s skyline? Other than from the top, enjoy the views of Hong Kong from the water! Come on-board the Star Ferry at Wan Chai Pier and take a round trip to Tsim Sha Tsui. The best time to make the trip is during sunset as you get to catch the gorgeous golden hour and witness Hong Kong come to life at night as the lights are switched on.

With so many things to eat, see and do in this Muslim-friendly neighbourhood, wan day might not be enough to fully discover Wan Chai! From the old to the new, Wan Chai is without a doubt one of the best places to start your Hong Kong adventure.

Hong Kong Tourism Board has recently launched a microsite to provide more information and travel tips for Muslim travellers. So if you need more travel inspiration or wish to jazz up your itinerary with exciting things to do, then be sure to visit Hong Kong Tourism Board’s Muslim-centric website for the latest ins and outs of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong For First Timers: 6 Essential Tips Every Muslim Traveller Needs

Fatehah  •  May 11, 2018

The HHWT Team travelled to Hong Kong a few weeks ago and we were surprised to discover how exciting and Muslim-friendly the city is! With an increasing number of prayer facilities and Halal restaurants serving local cuisine, it was really easy to explore Hong Kong. In fact, we loved the local food so much that we’re still dreaming about it now? We travelled around with ease on the public transport system which was not just affordable but also extensive.

Credit:  giphy

From must-visit places (yes, nature spots included!) to popular shopping spots, here are some of the tips we know you’d need to explore Hong Kong with as much comfort and ease as we did ?

1. Must-try Halal Local Food

It's no guessing what comes out top on our list of essentials! If you thought you had to bring food from home for your trip, we’re here to prove you totally wrong. There’s so much Halal local food to try here that your tummies will always be full and happy? Here are some of the best ones (HHWT tried and tested!) we’ve rounded up just for you.

P.S. Locals usually stir their chopsticks in a cup of tea before they start eating, so do give it a try!

1a. Wai Kee Duck Rice

Nestled in the upper floors of Bowrington Market, Wai Kee is touted as one of the best duck rice in Hong Kong. Many locals frequent this halal stall and that’s when you know the food here is really good!

If you've never tried duck, there's no doubt that Wai Kee will quickly convert you into a duck lover? The duck skin was brown and juicy, and its meat was so tender and well marinated that it’ll leave you craving for more. In fact, we loved it so much that we ordered another serving!

Oh and make sure you try their soy sauce chicken, wanton noodles and mutton curry rice while you're there! They’re just as yummy?

#HHWT Tip:  There's free WiFi at this hawker centre - perfect for uploading these yummy duck pictures on Instagram!

Opening Hours:  10am to 6pm (only take-away orders after 5.30pm)

Address:   Shop 5, Bowrington Road Cooked Food Centre, 1/F, Bowrington Road Market, 21 Bowrington Road, Wan Chai

Directions:  MTR Causeway Bay Station, exit A – Times Square. A short 7 min walk to Bowrington Road Market. The food centre is located on the 2nd floor of the Bowrington Road Indoor Market building. Enter via the escalator on the Bowrington Road side of the building.

1b. Islamic Centre Canteen

You can’t visit the land of dim sum without feasting on dim sum (of course?). Located inside Masjid Ammar, Islamic Centre Canteen is the go-to place for the most authentic Halal dim sum in Hong Kong! Savour their wide array of dim sum which is available from 10am to 3pm daily. Our personal favourites are the siew mai and deep fried shrimp wanton? The crisp sound with each bite of the wanton is proof of how it's fried to perfection!

We can assure you that their Cantonese dishes are amazing too! It was our first time trying their dinner menu and we absolutely loved the good mix of spice in their dishes – we especially enjoyed the tofu with salt, garlic and chilli! The fried rice was a tad bland but the tasty dishes were more than enough to complement it.

And if you see a friendly man seated at the counter, in front of the HHWT Sticker, don't forget to say hi to him! He's really friendly and warm, making you feel right at home ?

Opening Hours:  10am to 3pm (dim sum), 6pm to 9pm (only Cantonese dishes)

Address:   5th floor, Osman Ramju Sadick Islamic Centre, 40 Oi Kwan Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong

Directions:  MTR Causeway Bay – Exit A. A 10 min walk to Islamic Centre Canteen

1c. Islam Food

Known for its mouthwatering veal goulash (a juicy dough patty filled with beef), Islam Food serves authentic Xinjiang cuisine and is so popular that it has just opened another outlet! It's a bit hard to get here by public transport but it's worth the trouble? The restaurant was packed with locals and it was so crowded that we had to queue to get in!

We finally understood why this place was popular when we sunk our teeth into the veal goulash which was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside - the taste was simply indescribable? Word of caution though! The stew inside the goulash is hot so bite into it slowly.

We personally recommend pairing your goulash with some beef dumpling soup. The soup was tasty and the dumplings were full of flavour!

#HHWT Tip:  The outlet we visited was a bit small so if you'd like more space to enjoy your food, head to their new and bigger outlet round the corner!

Opening Hours (Main branch):  11.00am to 11.00pm

Address:  G/F, No. 1 Lung Kong Rd, Kowloon City, Kowloon - Next to Chow Sang Sang Securities

Opening Hours (New Outlet):  11:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m

Address:  G/F, No. 33-35 Tak Ku Ling Rd, Kowloon City, Kowloon

Directions:  Lok Fu MTR Station - Exit B. 17 min walk to Islam Food.

1d. Lee Keung Kee

Many of you have been asking about Muslim-friendly local street food in Hong Kong so we scoured the streets to find you some of the best? The egg waffles at Lee Keung Kee are a hot favourite among the locals and are so good that they are listed on the Michelin Hong Kong Street Food List. We loved how fluffy and chewy the waffles were. Eat it while it's piping hot!

Note: They have many outlets across Hong Kong but we've only confirmed the North Point outlet to be Muslim-friendly.

Opening Hours:  Monday to Saturday from 11am, Sunday from 12:30pm

Address:  492 King’s Rd, North Point, Hong Kong

Directions : North Point MTR - Exit B3. Walk to your left down Nathan Rd.

1e. A1 Tofu Company

For those yearning for a sweet treat, head to A1 Tofu Company in Sham Shui Po. It's popular for the soft and velvety smooth texture of its bean curd! There’s a wide variety of flavours to choose from but the locals particularly love the black sesame, horlicks and almond paste?

The best part is that the shop is really easy to find! It's located right outside Sham Shui Po MTR Station (Exit C2).

Address:  G/F, 38 Kweilin Street, Sham Shui Po

2. Travelling Around

We bet you noticed how the directions to the halal eateries are all via public transport. And yes, that's how extensive the public transport network in Hong Kong is! You can take the MTR (trains) and buses to almost anywhere. The MTR maps makes it really easy to navigate and we love how frequent the trains are?

#HHWT Tip: Download the MTR Mobile app to plan your trip with the shortest and cheapest route!

2a. Airport Express

From Hong Kong International Airport, take the Airport Express and arrive in the city in less than 24 minutes! The train has designated luggage compartments which are really handy, especially for those with big luggage. We were really impressed at how clean and fast the train was. There's also free WiFi in the train!

A huge bonus is the USB ports in the first and last cars of Airport Express trains. So if your electronic devices need a quick boost, this is perfect for you?

2b. Airport Express Shuttle Bus

For those heading straight to their hotels from the Airport, alight at Kowloon or Hong Kong Station and take the free Airport Express shuttle bus service to your hotel! There are different lines for many hotels in Hong Kong city. Click  here  to check if your hotel is included in the list and which line you should take.

The buses have a designated luggage compartment too though it was a bit hard to lift the luggage (especially heavy ones!) up the bus steps.

2c. Octopus Card

Once you've settled down, it's time to explore all that Hong Kong has to offer! And the best (and most affordable way) to do this is by taking the public transport. If you're planning to rely on public transport to get around, we recommend getting the Octopus Card instead of the Day Pass as it's more value-for-money. The card can be used on all public transport systems (MTR, bus, trams) so it's really convenient!

You can get the card at any MTR station or at the Airport. Do note that only cash payment is allowed to purchase the card and that there is a $50 deposit that will be refunded when you return the card☺️

#HHWT Tip:  If you're planning to return to Hong Kong (which you should?), you might want to keep the card as the refund is valid up to 1000 days!

If you do need to take a taxi, it’ll be handy to have the address of your destination in Chinese as local taxi drivers do not speak or understand much English. Ask your hotel staff for help or simply Google it! You'll just have to show the address to the drivers once you’re in the taxi and they would know where to go ?

3. Must-visit Attractions

You're probably wondering - but where do I take all this transport to and what’s there to do in Hong Kong? There's so much to do and see in Hong Kong that even our week-long trip was not enough to cover everything? So here's some of the must-visit attractions in the city!

3a. Hong Kong Disneyland

We believe this renowned attraction needs no introduction! It's a heaven for everyone, and we're not talking only about you Disney fans? The rides vary from kid-friendly ones to the extreme thrillers so you can be assured that there are more than enough rides for you to choose from.

For those who love thrilling rides, the RC Racer and Hyperspace Mountain are definite must-rides! One of our favourite rides was the Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars. Just remember before you board it: expect the unexpected?

If you hate queues, you need to get your FASTPASS tickets which are available for popular rides such as Hyperspace Mountain, Winnie the Pooh and Iron Man Experience. It's free and all you have to do is head to the ticket machine at these rides to get your FASTPASS tickets, and come back at the stipulated time!

#HHWT Tip:  Stay connected with Disneyland's free WiFi! Plus if you sign up for the WiFi with your email, you'll receive a 10% discount coupon online to spend at the merchandise stores.

Note: The Disney castle is closed for renovations and the Fireworks show has been replaced (indefinitely) by a Mickey Mouse Projection show.

Opening Hours:  Mon to Fri (10.30am to 8pm), Sat and Sun (10.30am to 8.15pm)

Address:  Lantau Island, Hong Kong

Directions:  Disneyland Resort MTR Station

3b. Ocean Park

Hong Kong's oldest theme park definitely did not look its age. We undermined this theme park as we thought there would be nothing much to do here but we were pleasantly surprised!

The theme park is divided into 2 sections - the waterfront and summit. The most exciting part is getting from one section to another and of course, the cable car ride is the best way to enjoy the gorgeous view of both the park and the breathtaking surrounding scenery?

The cars might sway slightly if the wind is strong but there is a hand pole in the middle of the cable car that you can hold onto. For those who are afraid of heights, you can choose to take the Ocean Express, the park's train.

You'll be amazed at the wide variety of attractions in the Park. For starters, we loved their newest ride which combines Virtual Reality and roller-coasters! The ride may look daunting, but it's actually quite do-able even for those who are not big fans of thrilling rides. What's more interesting is that you won't be able to even see the track during the ride as you'll be wearing the VR headset?

Other than the amusement rides, the animals here are also a must-see. Our personal favourites were the pandas and penguins!

Opening Hours:  Mon to Fri (10am to 7pm), Sat and Sun (10am to 9pm)

Address:  Wong Chuk Hang, Hong Kong Island

Directions:  MTR Ocean Park Station - Exit B

3c. The Peak

Whether it's night or day, the Peak is the perfect place to take in Hong Kong's gorgeous skyline! And it's not just the destination which is exciting but also the ride up. The tram moves upwards on a 45-degree slope so hold on tight if you did not manage to get a seat!

We recommend checking the weather before heading up as Hong Kong does get a bit foggy at times and you'd probably not get the best views.

Opening Hours:  Tram - 7am to 12 midnight daily, Sky Terrace - Mon to Fri (10am to 11pm), Sat to Sun and Public Holidays (8am to 11pm)

Address:  33 Garden Road, Central, Hong Kong

3d. Dragon's Back

If you thought Hong Kong was just “another city filled with buildings”, you’d be amazed to know that it’s actually the opposite! This can only mean one thing - plenty of nature spots to explore?

We headed up to Dragon's Back, one of the easier hiking spots (perfect for first-time hikers like us!). You can choose to start from the very bottom of the trek or take Bus 9 up to the 1-hour trek mark. We'd say the hike up was pretty easy though there were some parts which were steep and consisted of rocks instead of steps. But we met many families and even elderly people who were trekking up so it really is do-able!

P.S. Be sure to wear comfy shoes to ease your trek.

It would be wise, however, to check the weather before heading up. We did not manage to enjoy the full beauty of the view as it was really foggy when we reached the top? But the weather was actually ideal for a climb as it was really cooling!

We descended the same way we came up as we had a tight itinerary. But if you do have more time on your hands, we recommend heading the full route to end your trek at Tai Long Wan, a beautiful beach where you can relax and calm your tired muscles.

4. Shopping

If you didn’t know already, Hong Kong is a shopping haven for all types of shoppers? There's plenty of shopping places in this city that would fit your shopping needs, be it budget or upscale. Be sure to safeguard your belongings when you visit the street markets as it can get pretty crowded!

#HHWT Tip:  Most stores would require you to pay for a plastic bag so it would save you quite a bit of money to bring your own bag while shopping.

4a. Fa Yuen Street, Mong Kok

Also known as Sneakers Street, Fa Yuen Street is famous for its wide array of sneakers! This is the place to go for the latest sneakers' designs and limited-edition releases from around the world. You can find international brands such as Nike, Adidas and Converse here.

4b. Ladies' Market, Mong Kok

The market might be named 'Ladies Market', but it's not exclusively for the ladies! In fact, the market is populated with many Hong Kong souvenirs so head here if you're looking for something cheap and good for your loved ones back home?

And this is  the  place to put your bargaining skills to the test. Many of the stall-holders can understand basic English so you can bargain your way to the lowest price. And if that doesn't work, adopt the walk-away tactic. Even if they don't call you back, chances are there are other shops in the area which offer similar products so try bargaining there instead!

4c. Sham Shui Po

For more budget shopping, head to Sham Shui Po. It's made up of some of Hong Kong's best shopping streets. Apliu Street is famous for its electronics, especially mobile phones and accessories. Toys Street is a must-visit to get something for the kids and Yu Chau Street, which has a wide array of wholesale fabrics, is perfect for your Hari Raya outfits!

#HHWT tip: The prices at Sham Shui Po are usually reasonable but you can definitely try your luck bargaining!

4d. Causeway Bay and Harbour City

For those who prefer more upscale shopping, Causeway Bay consists of many malls featuring mid-range and luxury brands. Times Square, the district's largest shopping mall, is right on top of Causeway Bay MTR Station! It has over 230 stores so be prepared to spend quite a bit of time (and money!) here?

Causeway Bay is also home to Hong Kong's largest and most popular Japanese-style department store, SOGO. With 18 floors of retail space, SOGO is known as the one-stop shop for everything you need, from renowned clothing brands to appliances and even home-ware!

For an alternative upscale shopping experience, cross to the other side of Hong Kong and shop at Harbour City. This is Hong Kong's largest mall and consists of Louis Vuitton's largest store in Asia and Chanel’s Asia flagship store!

P.S. If you need a breather from all that shopping, head to the Observation Deck and enjoy a scenic view of Hong Kong from across the water?

5. Prayer Spaces

Now that you're more than halfway through the article, we're pretty sure that you're convinced as to how Muslim-friendly Hong Kong is. But wait, there's more! You don’t have to worry about finding a place to pray as there are plenty of prayer spaces around Hong Kong.

5a. Mosques and Islamic Centres

Masjid Ammar

Apart from prayer spaces, there are many mosques scattered around the prime areas in Hong Kong – making it really convenient to perform your prayers while you explore the city! Masjid Ammar is located near Causeway Bay so you can head there even while you shop! The best part is that you can tuck into some yummy food at the Islamic Centre Canteen in the mosque.

Jamia Mosque

Hong Kong’s first mosque is near to one of the city’s most Instagrammable spots, Old Town Central! Getting to the mosque itself is quite an experience as you can take the world’s longest escalator to reach there. This might be Hong Kong’s oldest mosque here but it was still well maintained☺️ We absolutely loved the Arabic-style arched windows surrounding the prayer space!

5b. Attractions

Hong Kong Disneyland

Located right next to the Halal-certified Explorer's Club Restaurant is a prayer room just for Muslim visitors. The room is shared between both males and females but there are curtains in the wudhu area that you can draw. Speaking of the wudhu area, we absolutely loved how amazing and functional the facility was. It made taking wudhu so much more comfortable!

#HHWT Tip:  Do bring your own prayer garments and mats as they are not provided.

Ocean Park has kindly provided meeting rooms for Muslims guests to do their prayers, with the kiblat direction marked out in the rooms! You don’t have to travel far to access them as there’s a room located at the Waterfront and another at the Summit?

To access the rooms, head to the Guest Relations counter and inform them that you would like to do your prayers. They will then lead you to the room.

5c. Hong Kong International Airport

Yes, there are prayer rooms at the Airport itself - 5, to be exact! The rooms are known as 'Quiet Rooms' and are multi-faith rooms. 3 of them are located in the Restricted Area which are rather far from the check-in area. We had to take a train from the main area to get to one of the prayer rooms but the room was close to our Departure Gate!

#HHWT Tip:  There is a wudhu area in the rooms and prayer mats are available for use, but do bring your own prayer garments as they are not provided.

6. Muslim-friendly Accommodations

If you’re looking for Muslim-friendly accommodations in Hong Kong, we’re here to help! Though some of these accommodations do not have in-house Halal food, they are located near Halal eateries making it easy and convenient for Muslim travellers.

6a. Harbour Grand Hong Kong

We stayed at this hotel during our trip to Hong Kong and were really happy with the facilities here! The most interesting part we found about the hotel was their 'menu' of different pillows which you can borrow. We tried the Bamboo Charcoal Kapok Pillow which was said to have a soothing effect?

You don't have to worry about Halal food in the hotel as it has a special Halal-certified menu in one of its restaurants and in-room dining. Some of the food include Tandoori Salmon Fillet (which we adored!) and Roasted Spring Chicken. Do remember to reserve in advance though!

Price: From USD158

Address: 23 Oil St, North Point, Hong Kong

6b. Butterfly on Morrison Boutique Hotel

For a more budget-friendly option, this Boutique Hotel is our top pick! It's cheaper but it certainly does not compromise on quality. We love the full-length windows which boasts a gorgeous view of Hong Kong and the location is supreme.

Though the hotel does not have any in-house Halal food, it's located near Causeway Bay so it's convenient to walk to many of the Halal eateries!

Price: From USD73

Address: 35-39 Morrison Hill Road, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, Hong Kong

6c. Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel

We just had to end the article with the best accommodation in town - the Disneyland Hotel! Its rooms and facilities are Disney-themed and guests will enjoy exclusive perks, including priority access, to Hong Kong Disneyland.

The hotel boasts beautiful sea views but our favourite part of the hotel is its wide array of Halal-certified food which is available upon request! There's also a Halal menu for their in-room dining?

Price: From USD266

Address:  Magic Rd, Lantau Island, Hong Kong

And there you go! We're sure that you too are now convinced by how amazing and Muslim-friendly Hong Kong is! We truly enjoyed exploring the city and with these tips in hand, there's no reason why Hong Kong should not be at the top of your bucket list this year?

Save to Bucket List

I visited a Cathay Pacific first-class lounge in Hong Kong. It was so incredible I forgot I was even in an airport.

Posted: April 22, 2024 | Last updated: April 22, 2024

• I visited The Pier, a Cathay Pacific first-class lounge at Hong Kong International Airport. 
• The lounge was one of the best I've ever visited and had tons of seating, a restaurant, and a spa. 
• I'd visit the lounge again — and I get why it's been called one of the best in the world.

On a recent visit to Hong Kong , I visited The Pier, a Cathay Pacific first-class lounge, before my flight to New York.

The flagship lounge has a restaurant, stunning bar area, nap rooms , free WiFi, and complimentary massages. It's accessible for passengers flying first class on Cathay Pacific or another Oneworld carrier or for those with status as an Oneworld Emerald member.

Airport lounges have been touted by many as the secret to making air travel far less miserable, and with ones as nice as this I can see why.

Here's what my experience was like at The Pier, one of Cathay Pacific's first-class lounges at Hong Kong International Airport.

I didn't have to wait to get into the lounge, which felt premium as soon as I walked in.

Cathay Pacific has two lounges for first-class fliers in this airport — The Wing and The Pier — but the latter was closest to me, so I chose to visit it during my travels.

According to Cathay Pacific's website, the lounge is available from 5:30 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. daily. It's located in terminal one, near gate 63.

To enter the lounge, I scanned my boarding pass at the check-in station. Unlike other lounges that I've been to, there was no line or overcrowding. I was able to walk right in.

From the moment I entered, it felt like a premium airport lounge experience .

My first stop was the lounge's restaurant.

Everything at The Pier's restaurant was made-to-order. Menu options included a burger, fish, and ramen — all cooked to your liking.

The airline has a partnership with the Rosewood Hotel in Hong Kong, so there were also dishes from the collaboration available.

Guests in the lounge get access to both the regular menu and the collaboration menu, with each offering some seasonal options that change regularly.

Although I'm not typically one to order airport food, this was exceptional, and I'm glad I did.

I've been to plenty of lounges, and this was by far the best lounge food I have ever had.

I liked that the restaurant didn't have a buffet like many other lounges, so there were no people grabbing or picking at communal food. Instead, I felt like I was like dining in an actual restaurant with menus, waiters, and service directly to my table.

I ordered a specialty drink and pasta dish from the Rosewood collaboration. Both were delicious.

Everything I sampled was cooked to perfection, and it felt like I was dining in a fancy restaurant — not just a few yards from my gate. The service was impeccable, too.

Admittedly, I'd visit the lounge again just to try a few more of the tempting menu options.

After eating, I explored the lounge. It was spacious and luxurious.

Onyx stone covered the wall in the main hallway, and there was ample seating space wherever I ventured.

The furnishings throughout the space were upscale and the lounge felt like a luxury hotel . At times, I didn't even feel like I was in an airport.

The lounge had two main seating spaces, and the one by the bar felt ultra cozy.

There was no shortage of seating space in this first-class lounge.

Large couches, clusters of chairs, workstations, and other seating options offered plenty of spaces to suit a variety of travelers' needs.

A fully stocked bar was at the center of one lounge, and it had eveything from coffee to cocktails.

The bar served specialty coffee drinks, sodas, waters, and an abundance of cocktails, wines, and spirits.

Some of the cocktails were from the Rosewood Hong Kong collaboration with its bar, DarkSide, which is touted as one of the 50 best bars in Asia .

I ordered coffee and a few glasses of wine while I was waiting for my flight. The bartender was super attentive.

Since the lounge is so exclusive, there wasn't a wait for drinks like you often experience in other airport lounges . The service also felt more personalized.

Another lounge space felt like it was made for larger groups.

A separate seating area was a bit more spread out and featured larger tables in the center of the chairs.

The space also had large picture windows that overlooked taxiing planes outside.

There were also gorgeous shower suites, complete with luxury amenities.

The shower suites had to be reserved with an attendant. However, there were plenty of them, and they seemed easy to access.

Each suite seemed well stocked with a blow-dryer, plush towels, and other essential toiletries. They were easily the nicest airport shower suites I have ever seen. I've never been one to shower in lounges, but I would absolutely shower here on a long layover or between connecting flights.

My favorite part of the lounge experience was the complimentary massages.

The massage space was dimly lit and quiet. If time slots were available, I could reserve a complimentary foot massage, neck/back massage, or head massage in 15-minute increments with a masseuse.

There were also day suites available.

The lounge features eight day suites, which each have a daybed, reading lamp, and shades that fully close on both sides for privacy.

I loved the layout of these spaces and if I had a long layover or a late-night flight, I think these private sleep spaces would be an awesome spot to take a nap.

The bathrooms were equally as impressive.

Bathrooms featured luxury bath amenities, well-lit mirrors, and spacious stalls.

The snack bar also felt luxurious.

The lounge had a snack room of sorts with cheese, fruit, crackers, and many other snacks. It also had a fridge with water, sodas, and other bottled drinks. Personally, I'd opt for the dining room since the made-to-order food was phenomenal. However, this seemed to be a great spot to grab a snack if you weren't too hungry. The room felt like a luxury snack bar.

Cathay Pacific's The Pier was easily one of the best first-class lounges I’ve ever been to.

Overall, I loved spending time in the lounge. The space had tons of amenities and was a great place to relax in during my connection.

I can see why many publications have dubbed it one of the best airport lounges in the world .

The Pier was easily one of the nicest lounges I've ever visited and is somewhere I see myself visiting again — hopefully soon.
