Hungry Hong Kong www.instagram.com/danielhungryhk/ “Exploring Hong Kong and the world one bite at a time” is how Daniel Haddad describes his mission. It’s been a successful one with more than 70,000 followers on Instagram regularly salivating over his beautifully-lit pictures of fine dining and street food alike.
His focus is primarily on Western cuisine, but everything he shoots is XXX rated when it comes to food porn. |
That Food Cray!!! www.instagram.com/thatfoodcray/ Three exclamation marks are the calling card for That Food Cray, a global food, travel and lifestyle platform started by Hong Kong-based Canadians, Nicole Fung and Eugene Kan.
They chronicle their eating and travelling through strong visuals and have their work cut out updating their Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter and more, but it’s Instagram with almost 100,000 followers where they’ve made their mark. They’re big on video ensuring fans get to see the food in action – who can’t resist the allure of katsu sauce being poured over a tonkatsu breaded pork cutlet?! |

Next up is a tradition emanating from Germany that has taken over the world. Oktoberfest combines serious German beers, live music from Bavarian bands, plates of hearty food, dancing and singing – all under one tent. The German Bierfest is Asia’s longest-running outdoor German beer festival and big hit with beer fans. Hundreds of thousands of visitors head for the giant marquee overlooking spectacular Victoria Harbour to eat authentic German food, clink steins and sing along to some good old oompah pah.
Finally, the most traditional way to enjoy beers remains in one of the thousands of bars across Hong Kong. You’re spoilt for choice. |
