Hong Kong, Best Place, Best Taste is the new 2009 slogan for this cosmopolitan city. The Hong Kong Tourism Board held a dinner last evening at San Francisco’s R&G Lounge, rnglounge.com, to announce their Food and Wine Year events.At the website HKFoodandWineYear.com, you can download 50% coupons for meals and access information about their special promotions including: the Wine and Dine Festival October 31-November 1 at the West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade with live music and pavilions offering local delicacies and wine.
No that was not a typo, Hong Kong is not the only the culinary capital of Asia with its own Michelin Guide it is becoming one of the world’s best selling wine areas, thanks in part to wine center, thanks in part to the government waiving the duty on wine. If you’re an oenophile, don’t miss the Hong Kong International Wine and Spirits Fair in November.
No trip to this unique spot is complete without engaging in the local s favorite pastime…shopping. During the Hong Kong Summer Spectacular through August, www.DiscoverHongKong.com, you'll find sensational discounts and a hip guide to fun fashion events. Lucky magazine, www.luckmag.com, the premier shopping publication, is currently promoting this bargain hunter's paradise.
Luckily you can keep your strength up to cull those clothing racks with dim sum, rice noodles, fish soup, congee or rice porridge, barbequed meats and tea houses.
To get there, go in style on Japan airlines, www.jal.com or www.singaporeair.com. Reminiscent of the old Pan Am days they still believe travel should be luxurious, not a cattle call. Your vacation to Hong Kong will start on the plane when they hand you a glass of champagne before takeoff. Instead of cheers, ay Yung sing ("drink and win"). Visit Hong Kong this year and you can't help but come out ahead.
