In terms of food to call Hong Kong outstanding would be a euphemistic
injustice. The range of cuisine available is in the same league as New

York,
San Francisco or London.


London perhaps. Both being pretty weak. You can get better food here in

L.A.
than you can in Hong Kong. San Fransisco and New York blow Hong Kong away

for
food. But really, if food is what you want go to New Orleans or Santa Fe

or
Belgium.


Actually, London really has transformed in the last 10 years from a grotty,
grimy European capital to a truly cosmoplitan city, replete with world-class
shopping and eating. I would definite put it in the same league as SF and
NYC.

I am not too sure about New Orleans - the cuisine, though good, is not very
eclectic. I've never been to Santa Fe, so I will not comment. But Belgium? I
know they have fancy beers and expensive chocolates, but food???


A truly wonderful place.








I found it a mixed bag. To each his own.
