West Kowloon was where many masters practiced their crafts back in the day, some you can still find there today. Not only will you find traditional and unique wares such as handmade chopping boards, cutlery, jade, bamboo steamers and sandalwood fans but also the craftsman and generations of families who have practiced their art for centuries, some for over 90 years. Uncle King at Biu Kee Mahjong is one of the last craftsmen in all of Hong Kong still handmaking mahjong tiles.	Hong Kong is the absolute mecca of delicious cuisine and West Kowloon is no exception. You’ll find everything from snacks in quirky emporiums through to family-run eateries that have shaped Hong Kong’s culinary scene for generations, to traditional sweets, handmade noodles and everything in between.
