Hong Kong has been listed as the top culinary destination in a worldwide ranking of food cities, putting it above the usual favourites like Tokyo and Paris.
In a survey conducted by Booking.com a total of 25 cities were ranked by over 12,000 members of their food and drink loving community. Hong Kong was voted dish of the day, joined by three other Asian cities in the top ten. While other surprise entries included Athens as the highest European entry at number four and Las Vegas bagging ninth place for the US.
Hong Kong has a burgeoning street food scene and the online holiday booking site make reference to several dishes to be discovered on a tip including: "Dim sum, kau kee beef brisket, wonton noodles and poon choi (Chinese stew)." However, diners on a generous budget can explore the other end of the culinary spectrum in a city that boasts equally impressive credentials when it comes to fine dining with half a dozen three Michelin star restaurants to choose from.
