I can’t believe how full of events March is! Feels like I would need 10 extra-days this month in order to do it all! But no matter what, you know me, I will always make time for food. So even better if I can kill two birds in one stone and have both an event and food in one go. Must confess I am pretty excited about this year edition of Taste of Hog Kong ! Only 10 days to go before the foodiest festival of the year (March 22-25)!
Not sure about you but whenever I go to a restaurant I always like to have a sneak peek at the menu before (that’s me always worry about what I am gonna eat!) and Taste of Hong Kong is no exception. With more than 60 mouth-watering dishes on the menu you need to be ready because you’ll definitely won’t be able to have it all (I know, I know that’s sad but that’s part of the game) so you’d better give it a think before heading to the festival (and I know you’ll be heading there because you don’t want to miss a yummy gathering). To ease things I have done some researches, carefully looked at all the menus and selected 5 restaurants that you’ll want to visit over the festival. Each one for a very particular and different reason.
