Meet Hong Kong’s Skyline farmers

At Rooftop Republic, we’re transforming Hong Kong’s iconic skyline with lush urban farms. From skyscraper rooftops to unexpected city corners, we’re redefining what it means to live sustainably in one of the world’s busiest cities.

Our mission? To bring fresh, locally grown produce to your plate and inspire a greener, healthier lifestyle. Together, we’re creating a community that connects people to their food, their city, and their planet.

Join the movement that’s making urban farming not just possible, but essential. Let’s grow a greener Hong Kong, one rooftop at a time.

Rooftop Republic

Fusing traditional charm with modern aesthetics, capturing the essence of Cha Chaan Teng culture.

An icon of the city, serving up simple, hearty eats, Cha Chaan Teng continues to stand as an iconic embodiment of the city’s unique cultural fusion and a testament to the culinary dynamism of the city.

One of the defining characteristics of a Cha Chaan Teng is its menu, which features a diverse array of dishes catering to both Chinese and Western tastes. From classic offerings such as pineapple buns, sandwiches and Hong Kong-style milk tea to Western-inspired items like French toast. @sleepyhead.hk celebrates the enduring appeal and adaptability of Hong Kong’s Cha Chaan Teng culture.

Experience sleepyhead’s refreshing take on the traditional Cha Chaan Teng favourites!

“dancing wave”

Have you ever tried the “dancing wave” hand signal to catch a cross-harbour taxi🫳🏻 🌊?

It is a secret trick that not even all Hong Kongers know. Simply flatten your right hand and move it in a wave-like motion—just like a boat floating on the sea. This signals taxi drivers that you’re crossing the harbour, making it easier for the right taxi to find you. Trust me, with this trick, you’ll never face rejection from a taxi driver again.

幾忙都要食餐好

香港嘅食物最有特色係佢完全體驗到香港人嘅速度💨,即使出品快都可以非常出色🏆。
這次@evelynchoii帶大家快閃灣仔區,試吓香港唔同類型嘅「速食」文化!

🩷炒滑蛋呢樣野,本身就係出自西方嘅scrambled egg,其後慢慢平文化,炒蛋便愈來愈受港人歡迎。位於大坑順興嘅滑蛋飯真係非一般好味,蛋漿快速「炒兩炒」搭配埋蝦、叉燒、豬扒,甚至係夾入菠蘿包都一樣出色。當然唔少得嘅就係秘製甜豉油,撈飯一流!順興除了一般鋪面外,後巷仲有幾個帳篷,任何天氣都阻擋唔到出面大排長龍。🚶🏻🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏻‍♂️

🩷香港人鍾意食燒賣食到要有關注組,呢樣野已經好非比尋常😅!無論係便利店、涼茶鋪,都會見到燒賣嘅蹤影。行過路過拮一串又可以抵肚餓,搭配特製的沙爹咖喱辣油,正👍🏻

🩷法國攝影師Henri Cartier-Bresson推崇的「決定性瞬間」(The decisive moment),為攝影界金石良言!打邊爐黎講,時間嘅掌握都十分重要⏱️!響鈴最佳享用時間係3秒、肥牛係13秒。而香港人係打邊爐上嘅multi-tasking更已經推到極致,可以飲湯又可以打邊爐,有啲仲可以食埋雞煲。老闆仲特別訂造1:1人手製作嘅戲棚花牌,真係忍唔住要打個卡。

醉貓:原來有另一個意思?

「醉貓」可能係香港最被誤用嘅詞語之一。都市傳說話呢個term唔係用嚟話人醉到隻嘢咁,而係講啲表面似醉,實際上心中有數嘅人。佢哋就似貓咪,睇落係懶洋洋,表面鬆散、隨性,實際上每一步都踩得穩,隨時隨地都可以反應好快!

好多人用「醉貓」來形容人真係醉酒,會唔會係冇理解呢個詞嘅真正含義—其實唔係醉,係「醒」?

少爺釀釀掂

啤酒一向係香港人嘅至愛,不論係大排檔定係火鍋店,忙完一日,嚟杯冰凍啤酒,真係最正嘅享受!🍺🇭🇰

但講到手工啤酒,就有啲唔同喇。以前手工啤酒俾人感覺有啲「高貴」,唔係咁容易喺餐廳見到,人氣都唔算高。

直到2013年,一切都唔同晒!嗰年,手工啤酒迷Rohit Dugar創立咗少爺啤酒廠,佢抱住一個夢想:將香港地道美食同本地手工啤酒完美結合,成為最佳拍檔!

少爺啤酒推出咗好多充滿本地特色嘅口味,例如以茶餐廳經典為靈感嘅鹹檸啤酒,將手工啤酒變得更親民、更有趣!

為咗令手工啤酒走入大眾生活,少爺啤酒仲同大排檔合作,搞咗一個超獨特嘅啤酒節,直接將手工啤酒帶到香港人最愛飲啤酒嘅地方。唔論係大排檔客人定手工啤酒迷,都可以齊齊乾杯,盡情享受!成功將西式手工同地道飲食文化融合,成為香港飲食界一個突破!

而家,少爺手工啤酒已經進駐咗好多餐廳同零售店,隨時隨地都可以買到,手工啤酒慢慢變成香港人生活嘅一部分。

你又最鐘意邊款少爺啤酒呢?不如留言講下啦!
