SW EX-453 Food Map of Hong Kong

Hong Kong has a long history of being an international city of commerce.  It has a predominantly service-based economy and restaurant businesses serve as a main economic contributor. From the roadside stalls to the most upscale restaurants, Hong Kong provides an unlimited variety of food in every class.

Chinese ethnicity makes up 94% of the resident population of Hong Kong and the majority of the Chinese population is Cantonese although there are sizeable numbers of Hakka, Teochew and Shanghainese people. The cuisine of Hong Kong is therefore mainly influenced by Cantonese cuisine.  There are also food outlets for other Asian food and Western food. Hong Kong is well-known as a gourmet paradise.

This postcard from Gloria C. (28 January 2015) Swap-bot shows a food map of Hong Kong.
