Seaweed poppers, spit-roasted pork souvlaki, and “Buddha Jumps Over The Wall” xiao long bao. These are just some of the appetizing dishes to enjoy at Taste of Hong Kong, the city’s premier food festival, which opens today.
The four-day event, which officially opens its doors to the public at 6pm, will be serving up miniature bites from some of the city’s best-known restaurants, including trendy neighborhood eateries like Little Bao and fine dining institutions such as Haku.
Taste of Hong Kong regulars Zuma, Pici, and HAKU will return to Central Harbourfront joined by 12 new additions to the city’s culinary scene, including the Flying Elk, John Anthony, Old Bailey, Hoi King Heen, Sausage Commitment, a project by Okra Hong Kong, Artemis and Apollo, Chôm Chôm, and Francis.
There will also be a multi-sensory whisky tasting, cooking workshops, one-off cocktail collaborations, pop-up bars, live music, and kids’ activities.
