Encore: A Vegetarian Dinner of Hong Kong’s Farm Produce + Film Screening
Grab the last few seats – register by 7 April!
In July 2016, Slow Food Hong Kong collaborated with Kong Yeah to host a dinner that featured Hong Kong’s locally grown summer produce (read about the event here). There was a large turnout, and participants enjoyed the delicious dishes while learning about the mission of Kong Yeah (“港嘢”, literally meaning “Hong Kong stuff” in colloquial Cantonese), a group dedicated to supporting local agricultural produce and manufactured products.
Due to popular demand, Slow Food Hong Kong and Kong Yeah are presenting a farm-to-table dinner again, this time with a spring menu to celebrate the local vegetables that are in season.
The exclusive event will showcase a short film directed by Susan Rockefeller, Food for Thought, Food for Life, which explains the downsides of current agribusiness practices, and also introduces us to farmers, chefs, researchers, educators, and advocates who are providing solutions. It powerfully examines the connections between our planet and our well-being is accompanied by specific strategies that protect both. With an eye towards a sustainable and abundant future, it offers inspiration for communities that are ready to make a difference.
