What makes Hong Kong a cool place to work, live and visit? One part is cultural. Hong Kong’s history as a free international port and hub, devoid of trade limitations, has created a fascinating environment in which Cantonese and Chinese culture mixes easily with Western culture and influences. Walking the streets of the busiest districts, you see people from all over world, hear different languages spoken, and observe interactions taking place through the language (or signs) of least resistance. The other part has to do with Hong Kong being the fast-moving, energetic city, where people love to work and play hard. Visitors benefit especially from the latter. As you will see in this guide, Hong Kong has restaurants and bars, and the facilities for you to shop til you drop, to match any city in the world. Hong Kong is modern and contemporary for sure, following and setting the latest trends. But always not far in the background are the traditions and culture of old China. For both locals and visitors, this fusion is what makes Hong Kong such an inspiration.
From New York magazine’s award-winning restaurant critic, “a timely and delectable smorgasbord of dishes and dishing . . . honest, revealing and funny.” —New York Times Book Review A wildly hilarious and irreverent memoir of a globe-trotting life lived meal-to-meal by one of our most influential and respected food critics As the son of a diplomat growing up in places like Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan, Adam Platt didn’t have the chance to become a picky eater. Living, traveling, and eating in some of the most far-flung locations around the world, he developed an eclectic palate and a nuanced understanding of cultures and cuisines that led to some revelations which would prove important in his future career as a food critic. In Tokyo, for instance—“a kind of paradise for nose-to-tail cooking”—he learned that “if you’re interested in telling a story, a hair-raisingly bad meal is much better than a good one.” From dim sum in Hong Kong to giant platters of Peking duck in Beijing, fresh-baked croissants in Paris and pierogi on the snowy streets of Moscow, Platt takes us around the world, re-tracing the steps of a unique, and lifelong, culinary education. Providing a glimpse into a life that has intertwined food and travel in exciting and unexpected ways, The Book of Eating is a delightful and sumptuous trip that is also the culinary coming-of-age of a voracious eater and his eventual ascension to become, as he puts it, “a professional glutton.” “A scarfable recounting of his travels, told through meals.” —Food52 “Gastronomes and fans of Platt will savor this behind-the-scenes look at real life as a restaurant critic.” —Publishers Weekly “A candid, entertaining look at an often bizarre new gustatory landscape.” —Kirkus Reviews “Entertaining.” —Booklist “A delicious peek behind the scenes of a storied career.” —BookPage, starred review
