A Culinary Journey in Hong Kong’s Public Housing Estates

This book is a collection of the author's experience of growing up in public housing estate many years ago. Not only is it a record of Hong Kong’s unique food culture, but also a critique of the lack of personality in the increasingly commercialized food scene of the city. The book is divided into five chapters: tea restaurants, dai pai dong, wet markets, snack shops and tea houses. Each chapter focuses on the characteristic food of the city, such as Hong Kong style coffee, milk tea, toast, rice noodle rolls, roasted meat, ribbon rice noodles, and egg tarts. Dr. Siu promotes Hong Kong's food culture through his writing. While we savor the food stories, it also deepens our love for the local culture.
