Is Hong Kong still a foodies’ heaven? Or has that gone down the drain along with our reputation as a shopping paradise?
It’s hard to let go of those titles, so much a part of Hong Kong’s identity. We were, for a long time, a place associated with great food. We were a shopping mecca. The city that never sleeps.
Over a nightcap with a childhood friend back in Hong Kong to visit family, I had what has become quite a familiar conversation about our beloved city.
“Wow. We are the only ones here.”
“Yeah. Nowadays, people head home by 10pm, latest.”
“Hong Kong is so quiet. I saw all the empty shops in Causeway Bay too.”
