The Hong Kong cuisine is best described as the fusion of the Eastern and Western styles of cuisine. It is widely known as the Gourmet Paradise and the World’s Fair of Food.

It is said that the Cantonese cuisine serves as the foundation of food in Hong Kong due to the country’s culture which originated in Guangzhou. Their main course is often accompanied by a portion of carbohydrates like rice or mein- also known as a noodle. People in the country usually eat five times a day and their dinner is often accompanied with delicious desserts. Every 3 in the afternoon, they allot time for afternoon tea.
Among the common ingredients used in Hong Kong cuisine are century eggs, salted duck egg, Chinese cabbage, dong gu, kai-lan, red bean, hoisin sauce, Chinese sausage, dried shrimp, dried scallop, jujube and lotus seed. Their non-service-based foods do not require cooking and these are often imported, cultivated and produced.
