Hong kong: The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) has launched Taste Hong Kong, a new gourmet guide developed in collaboration with the Chinese Culinary Institute (CCI), to showcase the city's culinary culture.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the guide is curated by more than 50 master chefs, all graduates of CCI's Master Chef Course in Chinese Cuisine. They have collectively selected 250 restaurants across Hong Kong's neighborhoods, highlighting the establishments they frequent most.

Taste Hong Kong provides a comprehensive overview of the culinary landscape, featuring a wide range of Chinese cuisines as well as international offerings. It includes traditional noodle shops, dessert parlours, family-run eateries, artisanal caf©s, upscale hotel restaurants, and Michelin-starred dining venues.

The HKTB stated that the guide goes beyond conventional rankings by offering an insider perspective on the city's authentic and distinctive gastronomic experiences. The chefs, many of whom lead celebrated dining establishments, share recommendations that reflect both their professional expertise and personal connections to Hong Kong's food culture.

Notable contributors include Michelin-starred chefs Adam Wong and Lee Man-sing, who shared personal selections shaped by their culinary roots and engagement with Hong Kong's dining scene.

Taste Hong Kong is designed for both visitors and residents, organizing its 250 restaurant picks by neighborhood. This encourages exploration beyond established dining districts and offers insight into the unique character of different areas.

The initiative is supported by digital content, including neighborhood videos and curated maps hosted on a dedicated website. A downloadable digital edition of the guide is also available to assist with meal planning and neighborhood discovery.
