“Taste Hong Kong,” a Chef-Curated Gourmet Guide to the City’s True Culinary Soul

HONG KONG, Jan. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hong Kong’s longstanding reputation as one of the world’s great food cities has been built on contrast — a destination where humble street stalls sit comfortably alongside polished Michelin–starred dining rooms, and where “Great Taste” can be found everywhere in Hong Kong. This season, the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) celebrates the city’s rich culinary culture with the launch of Taste Hong Kong, a new gourmet guide developed in collaboration with the Chinese Culinary Institute (CCI) that invites visitors to experience the city through the eyes — and appetites — of its master chefs.

Taste Hong Kong is a chef–curated culinary guide to the city’s diverse neighbourhoods. More than 50 master chefs — all graduates of CCI’s prestigious Master Chef Course in Chinese Cuisine — have collectively handpicked 250 restaurants throughout Hong Kong, shining a spotlight on the places they return to time and again. The guide offers a comprehensive and refined overview of the city’s culinary landscape, highlighting a rich tapestry of Chinese cuisines alongside an array of international flavours, from traditional noodle shops and classic dessert parlours to family run local gems, artisanal cafés, upscale hotel restaurants, and Michelin–starred fine dining destinations. Going beyond conventional rankings and accolades, the guide provides an authoritative, insider perspective on the city’s most authentic and distinctive gastronomic experiences.

Taste Hong Kong offers an insider’s guide for food lovers – from refined fine dining experiences to beloved local favorites like cha chaan teng, as well as hidden gems such as local desserts and claypot rice.

At the heart of Taste Hong Kong are the chefs themselves. As the creative minds behind some of Hong Kong’s most celebrated dining rooms, they bring a rare perspective on what defines a great meal — and what makes a restaurant endure. Among them are acclaimed figures such as Adam Wong and Lee Man–sing, who have each contributed personal recommendations that reflect both their culinary roots and their deep connection to Hong Kong’s dining culture.

“When I think about Hong Kong food, I think about the neighbourhood places I always go back to — dai pai dongs, cha chaan tengs and small restaurants that define the city’s everyday dining culture. These spots reflect how locals really eat and the city’s culinary soul. I am excited to be part of this guide because it gives visitors a genuine way to experience Hong Kong through the food and neighbourhoods that locals know and love,” says Adam Wong, a 3–star Michelin Executive Chef at the Forum Restaurant.

“I have always believed that some of Hong Kong’s best food is found in the simplest settings, whether it’s a comforting bowl of noodles or hot pot shared with friends. The restaurants highlighted in Taste Hong Kong are places with history, consistency and heart. They show why Hong Kong is one of the world’s most exciting cities to eat in,” says Lee Man–sing, Executive Chef of Mott 32 Group.

Designed for both visitors and locals, Taste Hong Kong organises its 250 restaurant picks by neighbourhood. With various neighbourhoods represented, travellers are encouraged to venture beyond well–trodden dining districts and experience the distinctive character of each area. From sizzling woks in bustling street kitchens to quiet neighbourhood favourites passed down through generations, the chefs’ selections offer visitors and locals a deeper insight into Hong Kong’s rich culinary heritage and vibrant diversity, guiding them to the true “Great Taste” of the city.

The guide is supported by a rich suite of digital content, including neighbourhood videos and curated maps, hosted on the campaign’s dedicated website. A downloadable digital edition of the Taste Hong Kong guide will also be available, serving as an easy–to–use companion for planning meals and neighbourhood discovery. QR codes will be displayed at various MTR stations, bus shelters and visitor signage across neighbourhoods. HKTB will also broadcast the “Taste Hong Kong” promotional video at major tourist hotspots, and prominent shopping malls and hotels across the city, reinforcing Hong Kong’s status as a global gourmet capital where exceptional food can be found everywhere — often in the most unexpected places.

To discover the full Taste of Hong Kong guide and begin your culinary adventure, visit tastehk.discoverhongkong.com. Download the digital guide, watch the neighbourhood videos and join the conversation using #TasteHongKong to discover the authentic flavours that define Hong Kong, one neighbourhood at a time.

BEST FORTUNE. WORLD PARTY. Hong Kong Invites the World to Ring in the Year of the Horse with a Spectacular Cathay International Chinese New Year Night Parade and Citywide Celebrations

HONG KONG, Jan. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hong Kong is ready to welcome the Year of the Horse with one of the world’s most vibrant Chinese New Year celebrations. On 17 February, the first day of the Chinese New Year, the Cathay International Chinese New Year Night Parade will transform the city into a glittering carnival of light, music, global cultures and festive spirit. Celebrate a Chinese New Year like no other, with colorful blossoms in Lunar New Year Fairs, incense offerings for good luck in temples across Hong Kong, horse racing on Year of the Horse Raceday, and more.

Start the First Day of the Year of the Horse with a Parade of Dazzling Floats and Enticing Performances from All Around the World

Get ready for the first night of Chinese New Year with a pre–parade street party, leading up to the dazzling procession of floats and performances. The Parade will start from Hong Kong Cultural Centre and travel through major roads in Tsim Sha Tsui — including Canton Road, Haiphong Road, and Nathan Road — beginning at 8 PM on 17 February. With the theme “BEST FORTUNE. WORLD PARTY.”, the festivities celebrate the energetic spirit of the horse, a symbol of strength, vitality, progress, and success in Chinese culture.

The 2026 Parade will be an authentic night–long celebration showcasing a spectacular line–up of themed floats sweeping in the best luck of the year. Some float sponsors will celebrate milestone anniversaries — with Cathay marking its 80^th anniversary, Hong Kong Disneyland celebrating its 20^th and McDonald’s Hong Kong debuting a float in honour of its 50^th — adding extra excitement to the parade and doubling the surprises for all. The first–ever float from the Hong Kong Brand Toy Association will heat up the party by bringing beloved IP characters to the festivity. The Ocean Park Hong Kong will invite their adorable Panda Friends to spread new year blessings to families and friends, while the Hong Kong Jockey Club will spotlight the zodiac year with shimmering horse installations to bring prosperity to all. Multiple dazzling floats will be on display at Kai Tak Sports Park from 18 to 26 February, extending the Parade excitement to visitors throughout the festive season.

Beyond the floats, a dynamic line–up of performances from around the world during the Parade will reinforce Hong Kong’s status as a truly international festival city. Not only will France’s FierS à Cheval set the tone with illuminated horse tableaux that capture the spirit of the Year of the Horse, the exhilarating performances including the precision of the Xi’an Acrobatic Troupe from the Chinese Mainland, the comic acrobat duo Les Vitaminés from Canada, and the debut of Australia’s Manly Seabirds cheer performers will bring high–energy sparkle to the parade route.

The Parade also embraces innovation while honouring tradition. Hong Kong’s East–Meets–West culture shines bright as the mesmerising Luminous Dragon Dance by Chinese Martial Arts Dragon and Lion Dance Association of Hong Kong, China, dances along the parade route with Italy’s Cromosauro, a large–scale dinosaur skeleton adorned with vibrant, colourful fabrics.

Citywide Celebrations for best fortune in the Year of the Horse

There are many more Chinese New Year celebrations in addition to the Parade – the city pulses with festivities, giving visitors endless reasons to explore.

For a week running up to the early hours of Chinese New Year’s Eve (11–17 February), visitors can dive into the festive spirit at Lunar New Year Fairs, commonly known as Chinese New Year flower markets, where parks and community hubs will burst with seasonal flowers, symbolic decorations and joyful atmosphere. Be sure to drop by some of the popular fairs for experiencing the vibrant ambience such as in Victoria Park in Causeway Bay or Fa Hui Park in Mong Kok.

As we gallop into the Year of the Horse, visitors cannot miss at the much–loved Year of the Horse Raceday on the third day of Chinese New Year (19 February), where Sha Tin Racecourse will be filled with thrilling horse–racing, entertainment and festive excitement, promising your chance to boost the luck.

Visitors can also take part in heartfelt blessings at the Hong Kong Well–Wishing Festival in Lam Tsuen from 17 February to 3 March, where visitors can write their wishes on a piece of joss paper attached to an orange and toss it up to the tree. It is believed that wishes will come true if they successfully cling to the wishing tree. Those seeking spiritual connection can visit Hong Kong’s many historic temples — including Wong Tai Sin Temple, Che Kung Temple and Kwun Yum Temples — to pray for fortune, love, prosperity and success in the Year of the Horse.

With its captivating parade spectacles, luminous celebrations and welcoming festive spirit, Hong Kong’s Chinese New Year promises joy at every moment. This Year of the Horse, travellers are invited to embrace the energy, happiness and optimism that Hong Kong radiates at this special time of year.

Mark Your Calendar: Hong Kong to Host Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2026 after Historic Double Win

HONG KONG, Jan. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — It’s been a banner year for Hong Kong’s restaurant, bar and hospitality scene. Fresh off its historic achievement, in which venues in Hong Kong became the first to receive both The World’s Best Bar and The World’s Best Hotel titles the same year, Hong Kong will host the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2026 award ceremony on 25 March 2026 (Wednesday) for the first time.

The announcement represents a milestone moment for Hong Kong and underscores its position as one of the world’s most exciting gastronomic capitals with its global influences, East meets West, and a long–standing culture of innovation. The prestigious ceremony will bring together top chefs, restaurateurs, and industry leaders from across Asia to celebrate the region’s finest culinary talent.

Mr. Anthony Lau, Executive Director of the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) stated, “We are thrilled to host Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants in Hong Kong this March for the very first time, highlighting the deepening partnership between HKTB and 50 Best. Hong Kong has long been one of the most sought–after dining destinations in the world, blending culinary cultures from around the globe to offer diverse and exciting gastronomic experiences. In 2025, our city made history as venues in Hong Kong were crowned The World's Best Bar, Bar Leone, and The World's Best Hotel, Rosewood Hong Kong, making it the first city to claim two global No. 1 titles on 50 Best lists in the same year. These accolades underscore Hong Kong’s leading position in the international gastronomy and hospitality sectors.”

Looking forward to the first–ever Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants in Hong Kong, Mr. Lau continues, “In light of these remarkable achievements, we look forward to welcoming top chefs, representatives from the culinary industry, and tastemakers from across Asia to Hong Kong this March to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our region's culinary scene.”

Hong Kong’s Historic Double Win

Hong Kong’s dual No. 1 titles – Bar Leone as The World’s Best Bar 2025 and Rosewood Hong Kong as The World’s Best Hotel 2025 – topped off an extraordinary year for the city. This recognition reflects Hong Kong’s extraordinary talent and its commitment to pushing the boundaries of taste, technique, and hospitality.

For Lorenzo Antinori, founder of Bar Leone, Hong Kong’s recognition reflects the city’s creative momentum: “Being recognised as The World’s Best Bar is an incredible honour, and it is especially rewarding to see Hong Kong shine on the global stage makes it even more meaningful. The city’s creative energy, diversity, and international spirit constantly inspire how we craft and reimagine our cocktails.”

Hugo Montanari, Managing Director of Rosewood Hong Kong and K11 Artus, noted that Rosewood’s win also reflects the city’s unique strengths: “Being named the World’s Best Hotel is a true honour that speaks to the passion and dedication of our team and the enduring spirit of Hong Kong. We are proud to represent this extraordinary city on the global stage through genuine hospitality and unwavering excellence. Our ongoing commitment to creating transformative journeys that connect people and place continues to shape a modern expression of luxury—one inspired by discovery, authenticity, and purpose.”

Hong Kong’s culinary landscape boasts impressive achievements in food, beverage, and hospitality, recognized by international awards ranging including the 50 Best rankings. From fine dining and innovative tasting menus to beloved cha chaan tengs, artisanal cocktail bars, and luxury hotels redefining the guest experience, the city’s offerings are both deep and diverse.

Looking ahead to 2026
Following The Chairman and Wing securing number 2 and 3 respectively in Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2025, Hong Kong further solidifies its status as a regional culinary standout. With the 2026 award ceremony coming up in March, the city is preparing to host a week of celebrations, collaborations, and industry gatherings that will spotlight the city’s role as a culinary hub. The awards will not only honour Asia’s top restaurants but also highlight Hong Kong’s contributions to the region’s gastronomic evolution.

For travellers considering 2026 getaways, Hong Kong offers a unique opportunity: dine at some of Asia’s top restaurants, sip cocktails at the World’s Best Bar and stay at the World’s Best Hotel – all in one trip.
