I can't think of any other place in the world where you can find a wider range of every style and quality of food imaginable. Everything from cheap and fast street food to the most luxurious restaurants providing the best kind of food you can ask for is available in Hong Kong. Yeah, i know that story but I don't like fastfood and i like to taste italian food in Italy Do they also have real local food in HK ? Try Chiu Chow.

Something Singapore has that's definitely missing in Hong Kong are the fantastic hawker stalls. In that sector the market, I agree, Singapore does have more variety, probably as a result of the wider ethnic mix in the Singapore population. The nearest Hong Kong equivalent of those seems to be Cantonese only. Let me register my vote for Penang for "Best place for food in Asia" while we're on the subject. Despite that, I still can't see how 'food no good' can even remotely describe the Hong Kong food scene. It's got a lot worse over the last several years, as the food courts disappeared one-by-one. There are a lot of Chinese restaurants, of course, but the local love of MSG seems only to be increasing. Despite that, there is still quite a lot of good food around but it's not one of Hong Kong's selling points, I'd say. Lots of places outside Hong Kong (including Vancouver) have better Chinese food. -- Steve Bougerolle http://www.bougerolle.net http://www.sebgitech.com http://www.imperialrealms.com |
