環球聖誕美食
As we finally approach the end of the year with Christmas Eve, 聖誕 Day, and New Year’s Eve just around the corner, the city is filled with a romantic festive atmosphere. It’s a great time for gift-giving and an excellent opportunity to indulge in delicious food. Hong Kong has never had a distinct 聖誕 cuisine; it has always drawn inspiration from European and American traditions. In the past, turkey and pudding were inseparable from the festivities. Still, today, there’s a wide array of exquisite buffet, fine dining experiences, Michelin-starred restaurants, and fusion cuisine to elevate the celebrations. In fact, different countries have their own special 聖誕 feasts, making the holiday season even more atmospheric.
