Four stops for two people who don't eat beef, on a Saturday. Every shop and every opening time comes from our own research.

  • The plan for the day, with walking times

  • One page per stop: hours, what to order, a backup

  • A backup for when a shop is shut or the queue is long

  • An order card in Chinese to show at the counter

HOW IT WORKS

We agree on it first, then you pay

  1. 01

    Tell us about your trip

    Dates, how many of you, what you don't eat and what you'd like to try. The form below takes two minutes.

  2. 02

    We confirm and quote

    Within one working day we reply with the plan that fits and the delivery date. If we can't do it well, we say so and there's nothing to pay.

  3. 03

    Pay by invoice

    We send a PayPal invoice. You can pay with a card; you don't need a PayPal account.

  4. 04

    Get your PDF

    Your itinerary arrives by email on the agreed date. Send all your changes in one go and we'll update it once.

WHO PLANS IT

The people behind two free food guides

We publish free English, Spanish, German, Japanese and Korean guides to the food of both cities. Every shop in them has its hours, what to order and where the information comes from. Your itinerary is built from the same research, and a person checks every page before it reaches you.

QUESTIONS

Before you ask

Can you plan for vegetarians?

Yes. Tell us how strict you are (no meat, no fish sauce, no egg…). We only pick shops where you can eat a proper meal, and we'll tell you before you pay if a day would be thin.

We're travelling with children.

Tell us their ages and we'll keep the walks short and the stops close together.

How far ahead should I ask?

At least a week before you fly. Delivery takes up to five working days, and you'll want time for one round of changes.

Can you book tables for us?

No. Many of the small shops we pick don't take bookings, so each stop comes with a backup in case of a long queue.

What language is the itinerary in?

English, with the Chinese names of shops and dishes next to it so you can show them to staff.

What if I'm not happy with it?

You can cancel for a full refund until we start planning. After delivery we don't refund, but we will change the plan once to fix what doesn't work for you.

ASK

Tell us about your trip

Nothing to pay yet. We reply within one working day with the plan that fits and a delivery date.
