When we heard this week that Singapore’s SAVOUR Food Festival was to make its debut in Hong Kong, our interest and tastebuds were naturally piqued.
Hongkongers can attend the gourmet extravaganza, held from Sept. 9 – Sept. 14, for free if they have a ticket to the Hong Kong Tennis Open or for HKD150 (Including HK$100 worth of SAVOUR dollars for purchasing food and drinks) if they don’t.
The festival will play host to local Michelin-starred establishments Bo Innovation and MIC Kitchen, as well as a variety of other Hong Kong favourites, such as St George at Hullet House, Chica and Brickhouse.
France’s tripled-starred L’Auberge du Pont de Collonges, which has tickled the fancy of everyone from Frank Sinatra to former French President Francois Mitterrand, will also be serving up a storm.
So hold off on the strawberries and cream and save some space for more than 30 signature dishes at HKD40 a pop…if you can tear yourself away from watching Eugenie Bouchard flit across the court that is!
And if you need any help getting into a food coma, Watson’s Wine tasting sessions may just push things along.
Welcome to Hong Kong SAVOUR!
