Eating in Hong Kong
Hong Kong is justifiably noted as one of the culinary capitals of the world. Its relative prosperity and the preference among its citizens for entertaining in restaurants rather than at home mean that Hong Kong has perhaps the highest number of eating places per capita in the world. Besides having the finest selection in the world of restaurants offering indigenous Cantonese cuisine, Hong Kong also has a seemingly endless supply of other Chinese, Asian and international restaurants.
Hong Kong people don't eat to live, instead they live to eat, and meals with friends or colleagues are absolutely fundamental to social interaction. Chinese usually greet each other and foreigners by asking, “Have you eaten yet?” This is not an invitation to dine, but reflects the important connection between eating and well being.
Every year, Hong Kong's passion for food culminates in a two-week festival of excess known as the Hong Kong Food Festival, generally held in March.
