Food itineraries and dining maps for cities worth the trip.

Kent Wong films cha chaan tengs and cooked-food centres with a baseball cap and Cantonese narration. For visitors, his Instagram is a model for neighborhood eating, not only hotel dining.

Dr Leslie Tay spent years photographing stalls and arguing for hawker heritage. For visitors, his blog is a model for how to look, not only where to queue.

Which centres to prioritize, how to chope a table, and how to eat so one famous queue does not eat the whole trip.

Five meal formats across the city, from market mornings to yakitori alleys.

Three subway corridors, three meal formats: market graze, café afternoon, BBQ or chicken at night.

Which markets, what time to arrive, and how to eat without overordering in the first ten minutes.

Eat on the city’s clock: cha chaan teng breakfast, yum cha, afternoon tea sets, and late congee or noodles.

Pick a corridor first, then a meal format, across SGV, Koreatown, Little Tokyo, Thai Town, and Sawtelle.
