A core must-have experience of Hong Kong is ‘dining’. Boasting a vast diversity of dining experiences from unique local street food to Michelin-starred restaurants to world-class international cuisine, Hong Kong allows travelers to eat the entire world within the city—making it a true “culinary capital of Asia.”
One thing that always connects Filipinos to Hong Kong is the shared love for food. Asia’s Best Female Chef, Margarita Forés’ strong passion for Hong Kong has landed her an opportunity to be part of the filming of the gourmet dining video, and also inspired her to create a special menu that fuses Filipino and Hong Kong flavors.
“I am honored to be able to marry two of my favorite things, Hong Kong and my passion for cooking, and contribute to Hong Kong’s latest brand campaign,” shares Chef Margarita. “I hope that through my specially-created dishes, fellow Filipinos will be able to savor the best tastes and experiences Hong Kong has to offer, and discover Hong Kong to create their own unique authentic experience.”
She also adds, “For Filipinos, food means celebrations, togetherness and hospitality. It is no surprise why we keep flying to Hong Kong, to enjoy an exciting variety of food options. Personally, I love exploring traditional dishes that reflect the heritage and cultures of Hong Kong.”
Apart from the food, Hong Kong is also Chef Margarita’s favorite travel destination because of its booming and stylish fashion scene. The city’s attractions also never fail to delight families, just like Chef Margarita who used to bond with her son by visiting Hong Kong Disneyland and Ocean Park.
Chef Margarita is also amazed by the less known side of the city—natural landscapes. Hong Kong has green mountains, beaches and outlying islands to explore and enjoy the natural breathtaking scenery; suitable for Chef Margarita’s healthy lifestyle.
