What is the difference between Hong Kong food and American food ?
Fast food is the most common food in US, right?
And I think Hong Kong have a lot of food from different countries.
I want to know the difference between them.THX~
Hong Kong, being part of China, has mostly Chinese food - and no, I'm not talking about the stuff you find at most American restaurants, either. However due to being a British colony for so long, also offers some Western (European) style food, like pork chops, spaghetti, etc. But these are slightly altered, just as most Chinese restaurants in America serve Americanized Chinese food, these places in Hong Kong server Hong Kong-style Western food. A good example would be the "hamburger steak" which is essentially a Salisbury steak, but then topped with other types of sauces besides plain boring brown gravy and mashed potatoes. One favorite of mine is the hamburger steak with pepper sauce and spaghetti.
Perhaps one of Hong Kong's most famous food is Dim Sum, which is a bunch of small appetizer type dumplings, pastries and other items. It's sort of like Chinese style tapas (Spanish). You go for Dim Sum with your friends and family so you can try a lot of different dishes. Servers pushing carts of various food circulate through the restaurant. If you want something, just gesture to it, and the server places a plate on your table then stamp your bill so they know how much to charge you later. Some Dim Sum dishes may be familiar - like pot stickers, or a plate of noodles. Others incorporate familiar items in new ways, like fried dumplings stuffed with chopped shrimp. Still others may seem downright scary like boiled chicken feet...which tastes like chicken, surprisingly but may freak out first time visitors.
Flights London to Hong Kong
Just a little research time spent online, checking daily newspapers or your local travel agent will show you that finding flights from London to Hong Kong at a reasonable price is easy. China travel opportunities and cheap Flights are available from both the major London airports. Whether you want to fly from Gatwick or Heathrow, it is now easy to find flights from London to Hong Kong.
How and when you travel is largely reliant on your budget. If you want to go first-class during the month of August, or around Christmas time, then you need a high budget. However, there are flights from London or Hong Kong for even the tightest of budgets.
A direct flight from London to Hong Kong will take around 12 hours, flying direct. This is a long haul flight, and travellers should make sure that they take items with them that will make the journey as comfortable as possible. However, be sure to check the local hand luggage rules in force at the time that you intend to travel.
Once you arrive in Hong Kong, there are many things to see and do that will suit all tastes and purses. Hotels in Hong Kong range from expensive 5 star luxury in the heart of the city, to more moderate accommodation more suited to a smaller budget on the outskirts. At off peak times, many hotels offer substantial discounts, so check to see what is available at the time you book your flights from London to Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is one of the cities that never sleep, but if you find that the noise and hustle and bustle proves too much for you, there are other alternatives. When you book your flights from London to Hong Kong, look for excursions to some of the smaller islands around the city. Here you will find a quieter pace of life with time to unwind and enjoy the scenery. Finding cheap flights to Hong Kong is a simple process and you'll have little difficulty finding a great deal.
A boat trip to the island territory of Lantau will show you a different part of China than the cosmopolitan Hong Kong. On this island you can see the very last surviving fishing village, complete with its aluminium stilt houses. Lantau is also the home of the famous bronze Buddha.
If you fancy a walking China holiday, then try the Lantau Peak trek, which is a far cry from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong city. If the trek seems too much for you, then take a boat trip and go pink dolphin spotting. Or take in some culture in the New Territories with the traditional walled villages.
The majority of people book their flights from London to Hong Kong with a view to experiencing the fast pace of Hong Kong itself. The shopping is second to none, and although there may not be the rock bottom bargains of the past available, but there are still bargains to be had. Many people buy silk to bring home with them, to be made into luxurious garments.
The variety of food available in Hong Kong is vast. The Chinese believe that all food should not only satisfy your hunger, but should bring joy to all the senses. The food in Hong Kong is no different.
When eating in Hong Kong, it is possible to find most of the cuisines of the world in a single street. From the street side vendors to five star restaurants, there is sure to be something for everyone. Remember that lunchtime is one of the busiest times with literally hundreds of workers looking for somewhere to eat, so it is best to avoid eating at this time.
Booking flights from London to Hong Kong can provide a gateway to experiencing the rest of China. A China holiday with the Olympics being held in Beijing 2008 is perfect for any vacation, and you may want to combine the trip with some travel throughout the country. Or you may decide to use your flight to Hong Kong as an opportunity to take in some of the many tourist attractions that China has to offer.
The most well-known tourist attraction in China must be the Great Wall of China. However there are many other things to see in the vast country and many travellers have been delighted with what they find when they venture off the beaten track a little. If you intend to do this, then it is wise to make sure you have the relevant maps and information.
All of China has a deep spiritual element, with a variety of religions being practised. In Hong Kong, it is possible to step from a busy street into a quiet temple that seems like another world. Many travellers have sought sanctuary in the peace and quiet of such places.
Booking your flights from London to Hong Kong provides any traveller with a gateway to another land that will surprise and enthral them. It is worth considering this destination as a full day stop over when travelling even further abroad. Whatever your intentions, booking flights from London to Hong Kong has never been easier.
