Where to eat
Even in the New Territories you are never far from international chains such as McDonalds, Saizeriya, or local chains such as Café de Coral, Fairwoods and Maxims MX. These all serve up a cheap and safe, if somewhat uninspired, standardised menu across their stores, and if no English speaking staff or English menu are available will at the very least have pictures of the menu that you can point at.
