Hong Kong: A Melange of Michelin-Starred Experiences, Food Festivals & Casual Dining
NewsVoir Hong Kong, June 17: Hong Kong, a gourmand's paradise, attracts every kind of holidaymaker-- vegetarian, non-vegetarian, vegan, the discerning and even adventurous foodie with its year-round vibrant food festivals. On the cards this year are: French GourMay Festival (1 May - 8 June 2025), Hong Kong W & D Festival (22-26 October 2025) and more. Hong Kong is an ideal food destination as the city's diverse culinary landscape features over 17,000 places to eat, ranging from Michelin-starred tasting menus, vibrant street food, casual dining and cafe spots to the eventful food-centric festivals. In Hong Kong, you're one walk away from a steaming plate of wonton noodles accompanied by glistening roasted meats and a bamboo steamer filled with dumplings. The city's multicultural culinary scene is led by its Cantonese influence. The food culture is an East-meets-West scenario where traditional Cantonese cuisine is intertwined with Southeast Asian and mainland Chinese influences. For food steeped in heritage, a walk to Tai O Fishing Village in Lantau Island, home to the fisherfolk community, will introduce you to the dried seafood trade. Marinated cuttlefish, fish balls and tofu pudding are the highlights here. A leisurely stroll along the lanes of Temple Street Night Market takes you to the heart of Hong Kong's street food culture. The stir fries straight out of the wok, the aroma of freshly fried snacks and sweet egg tarts remind you that the best food originates from the streets. Up for grabs are vegetarian and vegan delights across Cantonese, Indian and Pan Asian cuisines. Intrinsic to Hong Kong's culinary scene is its Cha Chaan Tengs or 'tea restaurants'. At these Hong Kong-style cafes, some dating back to the 1950s, a melange of British and Chinese cultures can be seen. Think compact interiors, minimalist furniture, scrambled eggs with toast and a cup of piping hot milk tea, sweetened with condensed milk or evaporated milk. Tea enthusiasts can seek solace in Cha Chaan Tengs while coffee lovers can lean on the city's burgeoning love for specialty coffee. From siphon, hand drip, or espresso, grab your cuppa from Hong Kong's cutest, pinterest-y cafes ahead of your touristy escapades. For discerning foodies, Hong Kong's Michelin-starred restaurants promise the ultimate dining experience. There's Shang Palace at Kowloon Shangri-La specialising in authentic Cantonese flavours; 8 1/2 Otto E Mezzo BOMBANA, a celebration of exceptional Italian fine-dining; Caprice, where French savoir-faire harmoniously blends with global accents; and Ying Jee Club, offering an elevated dim sum experience. Part of Hong Kong's Michelin-starred repertoire of restaurants are CHAAT and New Punjab Club, spotlighting Indian cuisine in Hong Kong. While the former serves elevated and reimagined Indian street food in a modern setting; the latter, is a vibrant, tandoor grill house paying homage to recipes of northern India and Eastern Pakistan. The love for Indian food and Indian restaurants is not new to Hong Kong that houses many fine-dining spots like Bombay Dreams, Chaska, Woodlands and more to satiate local and global audience in the city. What complements Hong Kong's diverse culinary scene is its buzzing nightlife. Over the years, the city's nightlife scene has embraced both craftsmanship and creativity, resulting in many making gaining global recognition on the Asia's 50 Best list. Coa is a love letter to Mexican special drinks. Offering stunning views of the Hong Kong skyline is Argo, while Pencillin revolutionises the scene with its environmentally-focused approach. The culinary culture in Hong Kong extends beyond its usual offerings, with food festivals attracting locals and tourists alike throughout the year. From 14 June 2025 to 22 June 2025, the ARTBOX Hong Kong 2025, Asia's largest pop-up container market, will take over the city. Held at Kai Tak Sports Park, festival-goers can expect neon light-themed installations, high-energy entertainment, plenty of F & B brands, local and global retail names and more.

Cognac char siu? Cheese spring rolls? Samuel Lee Sum uses Paris restaurant ‘to experiment'
After 10 years as head chef of Shang Palace, the fine-dining Chinese restaurant at the Shangri-La Paris hotel, Samuel Lee Sum felt it was time to open his own restaurant in the City of Lights. Advertisement Opened in mid-February, Sensation not only refers to the five senses, but also incorporates Lee's Chinese given name in Mandarin, sen, meaning forest. Having his name on the door motivates him to work hard to succeed, he says, adding that he likes a challenge. 'Sensation is a bistronomique (a casual fine-dining restaurant), a laid-back place where you can have food paired with wine,' Lee says. 'You don't need to wear a suit to come here and eat good Chinese food.' Sensation's Cantonese char siu marinated and basted in a cognac sauce. Photo: Sensation The menu features intriguing dishes such as Chaozhou (Chiu Chow) marinated oyster, spring rolls with Comte cheese, and char siu marinated in cognac. The 43-year-old chef says he uses traditional Chinese cooking techniques with ingredients the French are familiar with. Advertisement 'French diners know raw oysters, but they may not have tried the Chiu Chow marinated sauce with garlic, chillies, cilantro and sesame oil,' he says. 'When they eat it they can taste the sweetness [of the seafood].'
