Dai pai dong dinner

Sidecar is for locals meeting locals, travellers meeting locals, and fellow travellers meeting each other. Friends only.
Dim sum first
A noisy dim sum lunch is the classic group plan — sharing is built in.

The Dragon's Back hike, the Star Ferry and island day trips are easy shared outings.
