World on our plate!

As we boarded our flight to HK from Mumbai, we promised each other we won't confine ourselves to Indian food and explore all the myriad culinary delights HK has to offer. For we truly believe that food is integral to understanding and absorbing any place's culture and identity.


HK is a melting pot of various cultures and we found options enough to confuse us as we embarked on our culinary journey. While we haven't had the chance to have the local Sichuan cuisine yet, we've had some Xian, Thai, Mexican, Italian and Indian food. And Hong Kong doesn't disappoint!

From the 'hot pots' of Xian to the dark sticky rice dessert of Thailand, it's been a scrumptious, fragrant experience so far!

Xian 'hot pots'
Thai Kung Phad Nam-Prik Paow, Guey Tiew Phad Khee Maow, Pad Priew Wan, 
Hor Mok Ma-Praw Oon Talay 
Thai dessert, Khao Niew Mamuang

Ham and Parma pizza, for lack of anything else at the 
Dragonboat Festival, Stanley Beach!

Nachos and drinks! 
(These nachos are surprisingly different from what we get in India.. yummier!)

Here's to more experimenting in the days to come. 

P.S.: I am so proud of us... We realised most people just stick to the tried and tested when it comes to food. Our motto is, "Try it, don't like it, leave it. Try again!"

    1. Thanks Stephanie! I would think you're becoming more and more adventurous with age - taking risks is the best sort of adventure! And in Hong Kong, food adventures sometimes are risks!
