Session 15 (25th March)

Dining and Shopping in Hong Kong

Tourists who travel to HK may enjoy to wide range of cuisines HK has to offer. Hong Kong is well known for its delicious foods from all around the world. Worldwide cuisine in HK has been said to be even better than the actual food originated from the country. But most tourists come to experience the true cuisine of HK, they are able to choose from a wide range of Dim Sum. These are delightful, mouth-watering Chinese snacks served in steaming bamboo baskets and eaten with pots and pots of Chinese tea for breakfast or lunch. Steamed pork buns, shrimp dumplings, beef balls and pan-fried squid with spicy salt are just some of the local favourites.

Seafood is another choice for tourists to enjoy. Huge tanks of live fish and containers of prawns, crabs, scallops, clams, oysters and other seafood for attention. Preparing fresh, live seafood is a culinary art in Hong Kong, where skilled Cantonese chefs will make distinctive flavours and textures of their fishy dishes. There are four seafood locations for waterfront dining- Sai Kung, Lei Yue Mun, and the islands of Lamma and Cheung Chau.

Nevertheless, HK may also be known as the shopping paradise, from huge department stores containing worldwide brands to narrow streets selling traditional HK things. Many tourists from around the world come to HK to shop, as there are no taxes in HK to pay and most famous brands are rather cheap in comparison to origin countries. Ranging from clothing, electronics and all sorts of assessories, HK is the best shopping district for anybody.
