Eat Local: A Vegetarian Dinner of Hong Kong’s Farm Produce (Fully booked!)
Who says there is no space farming in a city like Hong Kong? Join us this summer for a green meal prepared with locally grown vegetables!
Slow Food Hong Kong, in collaboration with Kong Yeah, is hosting a dinner to celebrate Hong Kong’s very own farm produce that is in season.
The exclusive event will include a presentation by Kong Yeah (“港嘢”, literally meaning “Hong Kong stuff” in colloquial Cantonese), a group dedicated to supporting local agricultural produce and manufactured products. In addition to presenting farm-to-table meals, it organizes farm experiences and visits, and plant workshops. A representative from Kong Yeah will share their fascinating story.
