Dragon Centre Sham Shui Po Hong Kong: Eat, Play and Shop!

When it comes to traveling in Hong Kong, we often travel around Kowloon and Central area. On our recent trip to Hong Kong, we explore unknown territories for us in places such as Sham Shui Po and Stanley.Sham Shui Po is next to Prince Edward and it is a haven for bargain hunter. Ap Liu Street is one of the bargain hunter havens but you want to shop for more, we recommend the Dragon Centre Shopping Mall.

Only known to locals and unknown to tourist, the shopping mall has 9 levels of retails with total amounts of 840,000 square feet of retail space for shops, food outlets and entertainment facilities. It is one of the largest shopping malls in Hong Kong and expect to spend hours to eat, play and shop

1.Eat – Dragon Centre Food Court

The Dragon Centre Food Court is located on the 8^th floor. There are elevators or lifts and you can easily spot the food court once you are on the 8^th floor.

Why food court? There are dozens of food stalls to cater your need. The food stalls offer different cuisine from places like Taiwan, Shanghai, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, India and many more.

The food court is often packed with locals as they know this is the place you can find good food with affordable prices.

The food prices starts from HK$10 to HK$ 60 in average and trust me, you can find many types of set meals below HK$60!

We tried the seafood noodle, rice claypot with pork sausages as well as Taiwanese snacks.
