Chef Wang Yook-seong of Jinjin, a Chinese restaurant considered one of the godfathers of the Chinese food industry, gave a generous evaluation that he wanted to visit Hong Kong again with the book on his side. The story is delicious, and the picture is delicious. Baek Jong-hyun, who is also living as a travel journalist at a company like Son Min-ho, who heads the leisure team of JoongAng Ilbo, published a book titled “Hong Kong White Meal” in which the two explored Hong Kong gastronomy.
As you can see by just looking at the title, you can meet at least 100 famous restaurants through books. Just by looking at what reporter Baek mentioned in his introduction, I can feel the effort he put into covering. He said he walked 15,000 steps every day, took more than 1,600 photos, and traveled all over Hong Kong for a month. Tasting an average of six or seven meals a day was also a great deal.
In fact, we spent about 50 days on the “Hong Kong 100 Meals” project. There are also more than 130 restaurants visited. Experts from various fields, including Michelin star chef Wang Yook-young, writing chef Park Chan-il, pen painter Ahn Choong-gi, and photojournalist Kwon Hyuk-jae, also participated. There are more than 500 Hong Kong foods that I have tasted with them.
All food photos and street scenes in the book consisted of high-quality pictorials taken locally. It conveys Hong Kong’s vivid sensibility throughout the turn of the bookshelf. All introduced restaurant information contains a QR code linked to Google Maps, allowing readers to easily store restaurant information on their smartphones and use it right away during their trip. If you scan the QR code inserted at each start page for each part, 100 restaurants will be connected to a list of Google Maps.
Therefore, “Hong Kong White Meal” is a gourmet guidebook and a book that looks into Hong Kong’s life and culture. The background of eating out culture can be seen in Cha Chanteng (茶餐廳), the vitality of the city in street food, and the peak of Hong Kong gastronomy in Michelin Fine Dining.
The book is divided into three parts. be found in everyday foodUntil the innings, it covers everything from food to Hong Kong movie spots. There are 200 kinds of dim sum, and there are people who measure the taste by looking at the transparency of Hagau. Hong Kong is a food-minded city.
Beyond the story of eating, the authors shared the story of Hong Kong’s eating out culture, urban structure, the tastes of the younger generation, and the old guns that embraced history. Through Cha Chan-Teng, we understand the social structure in which home-cooked meals have disappeared, read the vitality of street culture in Daipai-dong, and meet real Hong Kong at an alley Michelin restaurant.
