"The creative community is flourishing and there are so many independent businesses selling original designs in places such as PMQ, The Mills, and the quarterly crafts fair at the Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre. The local craft gin scene is also growing, with homegrown brands such as Perfume Trees offering a taste of Hong Kong that can’t be replicated elsewhere." —Charmaine Mok, Editorial Director, Food & Wine

"While local produce is widely adopted in fine dining establishments across town, artisanal food crafts are celebrated as part of the intangible heritage of local food culture, including festive treats such as Chinese New Year puddings, Mid-Autumn mooncakes, and Tuen Ng glutinous rice dumplings.

Such food traditions are upheld at Dashijie, a local food purveyor founded by local food gastronome Theresa Yiu. A devoted culinary protégé of Pearl Kong, the legendary master of Cantonese gastronomy, Yiu launched her brand of artisanal products made with premium raw materials and made locally to suit the most discerning palates. While Yiu preserves the traditional means on polishing a taste of tradition compared to more innovative varieties from other purveyors, the Dashijie brand’s products from dried noodles, XO sauces, pickles, and cookies are available at selected purveyors all over Hong Kong." —Wilson Fok, Dining Editor
