As an expat in Hong Kong, chances are you experience
constant cravings for that authentic taste and texture of your mum’s cooking
back home. The truth is, despite being an international cosmopolitan offering a
plethora of cuisines from the world over, Hong Kong is still just not ‘home’. What
if we tell you that you could dine in the home of your fellow countrymen and
eat off their dining table the comfort food that you’ve grown up with?
PlateCulture is
designed with precisely the answer to nostalgia in mind. To start with, PlateCulture
is a social network where self-proclaimed home chefs and culinary enthusiasts gather
to offer a delicious menu at their home – anything from Korean to Italian, French,
Mexican, Indian, Iranian and Cantonese – for interested individuals to sign up for
the experience. With the numerous weekly offerings, available in all nooks and
crannies of Hong Kong, you’re literally spoilt for choice.
Alternatively, if
you confess to be savvy at the stove, you may sign up as a chef and dish up home
dishes that you reckon needs wider recognition, or for the sheer joy of sharing
a hearty meal with like-minded individuals. Remember also to create a fancy
name for your account, because with Spanish homecooking in Wanchai, Indian
flavours in the Mid-levels, and Middle-Eastern vegan feast on Lamma Island,
competition among proud home chefs is fierce!
The meals on offer range from HKD100 to HKD500-plus per
guest, which is fab to start with, considering there’s no queuing and crammed
elbow-to-elbow space involved.
