Taste Your Way Around Hong Kong

It goes without saying that Hong Kong is a heaven for foodies with the plethora of cuisines that it offers – and at reasonable prices too. Yet its great culinary diversity available at numerous establishments also means that Hong Kong can really confuse first-timers to the city, especially those with limited time to roam the city – you’d want to get the best bang for your buck, naturally. This is where Hong Kong Foodie comes in handy.

Led by a team of adventurous, uncompromising and professional Foodie Guides, Hong Kong Foodie’s walking tours are designed to take participants off the beaten path for some of the city’s favourite, longest-standing eateries to eat like a local. The 12-pax Central and Sheung Wan Foodie Tour, for instance, will whisk you off to six locations for food and drink tastings at 2:15pm on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, and charges HKD720 per adult or HKD520 per child aged between five and 14. But the tour is more than just about stuffing your face – the guide will also take you through historical architectures in that part of Hong Kong. The Sham Shui Po and Tai Po Market foodie tours, meanwhile, will entice you with even more down-to-earth tastes of Hong Kong.

So yep, it’s really about walking and munching around the city. And seriously, why not?

Happy Friday! Guess you won’t be able to get much work done today, as always, so why not spare a minute to plan for the weekend?

Your luck is in if you’re all for supporting up-and-coming designers because Handmade Hong Kong Market Day, a platform for the showcase of local designs by budding designers, will be held for the first time in Wong Chuk Hang from 11am to 6pm tomorrow! From fine jewellery, mind-blowing photography, fashion items to eco-friendly stationery and leather goods, the locally made items at over 35 booths will make sure you’ll be ooh-ing and ahh-ing all the way.

But hang on, that’s not just it. Ovolo Southside, the location sponsor, will be giving you a complementary welcome drink for a minimum of HKD300 purchase at the market between 2pm and 8pm, and by all means stay behind for their wine tasting session, and enjoy the best of wines with delicious nibbles.
