Meeting News - February 25, 2008 - (Page 10f) Food for Thought Hong Kong is one of the world’s foremost culinary capitals, where centuries of multicultural influences culminate in an array of unique flavors. Attendees select from more than 9,000 dining establishments with near-limitless choices of regional delicacies— Cantonese, Shanghainese, Pekingese, Szechuanese, and Hunanese, to name a few—as well as superb international fare, ranging from Japanese to French. Of course, a seafood feast in Hong Kong is an experience all its own. The quaint fishing villages of Sai Kung and Lei Yue Mun or those on Lamma Island haul the freshest catches, which are then whisked off to talented chefs throughout the city who perform their culinary magic. At Chinese mealtimes, in noodle shops, and in elegant restaurants throughout the city, tea is ubiquitous. Guests are often presented with luxuriously quilted rattan or rosewood boxes containing fine porcelain cups and a freshly brewed pot of relaxing tea. ferry ride away. Here, groups will uncover Hong Kong’s more traditional qualities, picturesque beaches, and sumptuous seafood cuisine. Capturing Culture Yet Hong Kong’s mystique extends well beyond its physical beauty. Exciting opportunities abound to incorporate the city’s living culture, a fusion of East and West. “What is most interesting today is not the British influence on Hong Kong—nor the Chinese influence—but the influence of both cultures on the city,” says Chan. “Often thought of as a Chinese city with a colonial past, Hong Kong is actually a multicultural metropolis with people from around the world.” Groups savor an exciting slice of local traditions through the Hong Kong Tourism Board’s Cultural Kaleidoscope program. Activities include a morning Tai Chi class; learning the fine art of Feng Shui; a Chinese Tea appreciation class; and even an architecture walk exploring Hong Kong’s famous structures. “We’ve had private parties in antique shops, tailoring workshops; served High Tea, British style; and even offered jade buying techniques ending with a trip to Hong Kong’s famous Jade Market,” Orbont says. “Whatever you can dream up here is possible. Hong Kong always exceeds expectations” 6 WWW.DISCOVERHONGKONG.COM http://WWW.DISCOVERHONGKONG.COM
