Savour Hong Kong – a bite sized gourmet delight

Savour Hong Kong 2014 - Chefs

Singapore’s Savour gourmet food event makes it local debut at this year’s WTA Hong Kong Tennis Open at Victoria Park. Savour is a little different in that it offers award-winning or Michelin starred food at prices between $50-100/dish. Yes, it’s not a full sized dish, but the portions of the dishes available at the preview were pretty generous – and the food quality was excellent. parma-web

HK’s first Savour festival features 12 booths offering slightly bigger than bite-sized dishes from a range of local and international restaurants – and several of the short three or four dish menus will change later in the week so there’s a good reason to go more than once.

Is it any good, yes – although there’s probably not enough chairs and you’ll end up spending more than you expect because you’ll want to try the wide range of dishes on offer.
