context_page_description: Lok Wah Estate is a public housing estate located in Ngau Tau Kok, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
  Lok Nga Court is a Home Ownership Scheme court adjacent to Lok Wah Estate. It has six blocks built in 1984.
context_section_description: Most commercial space in the estate is housed in the Lok Wah Commercial Centre, a multi-storey open-air shopping centre between Lok Wah North Estate and Lok Nga Court. It was opened in 1985 and comprises an internal floor area of 108,510 square feet (10,081 m²). It is built atop a multi-storey car park with 650 spaces, but as the complex is built within a valley the car park is barely noticeable – the shopping centre appears to be at ground level. The commercial centre and car park were originally owned and managed by the Housing Authority, but were transferred to The Link REIT on 25 November 2005. The Link was criticised for abandoning the fountain at the shopping centre, and for raising rents.
  The estate also has a covered open-air market, the Lok Wah Market, with a wide range of goods including fresh produce and meats, flowers, groceries, and dry goods.
  In terms of dining, there is an area of outdoor cooked food stalls (similar to dai pai dong) with seating underneath large mushroom-shaped concrete canopies. These are popular with residents late into the night. The commercial centre has a range of fast food options including McDonald's and Café de Coral as well as a large Chinese restaurant.
