Today is the eve of Mid-Autumn Festival. We call it “Welcoming the Moon” 迎月. Over the next few days and evenings, we will be celebrating this festival in full swing until Wednesday, the day after Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as “Chasing the Moon” or “Sending Off the Moon”. 追月. No doubt, many of you have already been indulging in a variety of mooncakes. Many other activities await us over the next few days. From Lantern Carnivals across various sites with fabulous lantern displays, to the famous Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance, and the Mid-Autumn Festival drone show over Victoria Harbour. Will you be participating in any of these fun things to do in Hong Kong? If you’d like to learn more about the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance and even how to make mooncakes, check out our blog posts:

Camera eats first? Our Foodie participants love to capture all the scrumptious tastings on our Foodie Tour but sometimes we just want to dive straight in to these ping-pong sized wontons, slurp down the al dente noodles and sip the sweet tasting, slow-cooked broth! Yum! Who wants to join us on our Central & Sheung Wan Foodie Tour? 🙋‍♀️🙋🏻‍♂️

Today, we are bidding yet another farewell. One of our eatery partners is serving customers for just one more day before closing shop for good tonight. Chan Hon Kee was the first stop on our Tai Po Market Foodie Tour. We love their made-to-order rice rolls with a wide variety of fillings from which to choose. We could never make up our minds between shrimp, bbq pork, beef, pork liver or dried scallops. It was even more special as our participants could peek into their kitchen to see exactly how these delicate rice rolls were made.

In addition to rice rolls, they are also famous for the claypot rice. Just look at the giant menu and you’d have an even more difficult choice to make.

Today, we were amongst a long queue of fans who came to say goodbye. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Wong and their amazing team for serving the community for so long and for so supportive of our Tai Po Market Foodie Tour since it’s inception in 2015. We will miss you! We wish you all the best.

Say goodbye to the Nam Cheong Pawn Shop sign. On our Sham Shui Po Foodie Tour on Thursday, we witnessed the signs being prepared to be taken down. 🥲 Very soon, it will encounter the same fate as the big knife sign of Leung Tim Choppers! These signs were so iconic for this neighborhood for such a long time. For those who have joined our Foodie Tour before, do you remember what the top and bottom part of the pawn shop sign signifies?

Kung Hei Fat Choi! Hong Kong Foodie wishes everyone a happy-belly Year of the Rabbit! May it be filled with an abundance of laughter and wealth, and most importantly, good health. We cannot wait to welcome you back to Hong Kong so we can share our incredible local food and culture with you again this year. Happy New Year! 🐰

11/01/2023

You will probably recognize this iconic signage if you have been on our Sham Shui Po Foodie Tour. This is the signage of the 70-year-old Leung Tim Choppers Factory. As requested by the Buildings Department, the sign needs to be taken down. The sign was taken down today and we heard rumors that it will be exhibited later this year.

We are saddened by the news of the passing of Panda An An at Ocean Park Hong Kong. An An had been with us in Hong Kong since 1999. Share photos of An An with us if you have visited him before!

【大熊貓安安離世 享年35歲】

公園以哀痛心情宣布，「百歲熊瑞」— 大熊貓安安喺今日（2022年7月21日）離開咗我哋，享年35歲，等同於人類105歲高齡，係全球喺人類照顧下最長壽嘅雄性大熊貓。

安安嘅健康狀況喺過去數星期慢慢轉差，進食及活動量均大幅下降，身體變得非常虛弱，在人道而言，牠的生命已走到盡頭。海洋公園同漁農自然護理署嘅獸醫在徵詢中國大熊貓保護研究中心後，喺基於動物福祉理由，忍痛以安樂死讓安安免於痛苦，並於今日上午8時40分喺「香港賽馬會四川奇珍館」內為安安進行有關程序。

公園將於今日在「香港賽馬會四川奇珍館」設置弔唁冊。如你未能親身到訪，亦可於置頂的網上弔唁帖文上留言以悼念這位深受愛戴的動物大使。https://bit.ly/3ohpxWX

安安，多謝你一直以嚟嘅陪伴！

[Giant Panda An An Dies Aged 35 age]

We are deeply saddened to announce the loss of centenarian panda An An, the world’s longest-living male giant panda under human care, today (21 July, 2022). An An lived a full life that ended at the respectable age of 35 – the equivalent of 105 years old in human age.

An An’s health deteriorated slowly but progressively in the past few weeks with a severe decrease in physical activities and food intake. His condition reached a humane endpoint that based on animal welfare reasons, veterinarians from Ocean Park and the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department made the difficult decision to perform the procedure of humane euthanasia on An An after consulting the China Conservation and Research Centre for the Giant Panda. The procedure was performed at about 8:40am today at An An’s residence in The Hong Kong Jockey Club Sichuan Treasures.

The Park will host condolence books at The Hong Kong Jockey Club Sichuan Treasures. If you are not able to visit in person, you can leave the condolence in the comment section on the pinned post to pay tribute to An An. https://bit.ly/3ohpxWX

An An, thank you for being with us throughout the years!

How many of you have been on the Jumbo Floating Restaurant? Share your experiences with us as we remember this iconic attraction in Hong Kong.

Jumbo Floating Restaurant, which closed in 2020, capsized in the South China Sea after being towed from the city. The sinking triggered nostalgia for a happier period of Hong Kong history.

03/06/2022

Joined on their Aberdeen Boat Noodle Lunch Tour on Tuen Ng Festival to catch a glimpse of the Jumbo Seafood Floating Restaurant. What will its destiny be? Hope one day it can stay and reopen to visitors again.

21/04/2022

After 3.5 months, we can finally dine out again! What are your dinner plans for the next few days? How about something colorful to spice things up?
