Description

Begin your experience by meeting your host at a local market. Embark on a wet market adventure, where your host will introduce you to vendors, explain ingredients, and do the shopping. Next, head to a local apartment in a traditional neighborhood like Sheung Wan, Kennedy Town, or Kowloon City. Be welcomed by your host, a passionate parent or grandparent, who will share recipes passed down through generations. Get hands-on as you prep, chop, stir-fry, and steam under gentle guidance. As you cook, hear family stories, learn about food customs, and get genuine insights into daily life in Hong Kong. Menus vary by season and host, but they focus on comfort food and classics rather than high-end restaurant fare. Think of what a Hong Kong family would eat on a weekday or for a special home-cooked dinner. Dishes you might learn include sweet and sour pork, steamed fish, stir-fried greens with garlic, clay pot rice, tomato egg stir-fry, braised pork belly, soy sauce chicken wings, wontons or siu mai, turnip cake, Cantonese 'Lao Huo' soup, and sweet red bean soup or mango sago pomelo. Finally, sit down together to enjoy the meal you've helped prepare, often with tea or a casual chat. Receive the recipes, say your goodbyes, and head off with a full belly and new knowledge.
