Great Choice Of HK Accommodation, Culinary Delights For Those Visiting Annual Food Fair

This year the Food Expo is in its 26th edition and is expected to attract more than 1,100 exhibitors from over 20 countries and regions who will showcase a wide variety of international food and beverage to both the public and trade buyers.

In 2014 over 460,000 public visitors came to the event and the concurrent Home Delights Expo, and over 20,000 trade buyers.

The Hong Kong Food Expo, Hong Kong International Tea Fair, Home Delights Expo and the International Conference Exhibition of the Modernization of Chinese Medicine Health Products (ICMCM) will all open concurrently on 13 August 2015 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

The venue, Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, is situated in Hong Kong Island’s Wanchai area overlooking Victoria Harbour. It is readily accessible from many of the hotels and serviced apartments in Hong Kong by using the MTR network, which links around 150 stations throughout the destination.

This includes various Hong Kong serviced apartments, mid-level properties and five star hotels in the main downtown areas of Tsim Sha Tsui and Central and districts in the New Territories like Tsuen Wan, which is home to the iconic Tsing Ma Bridge.

A local sightseeing favourite and a key infrastructure facility, this impressive engineering achievement lays claim to the title of the world’s longest suspension bridge carrying both rail and road traffic. It even inspired the name of Bay Bridge Hong Kong by Hotel G, one of the leading serviced apartments in Hong Kong and which enjoys a picturesque location on the Tsuen Wan coastline facing the South China Sea and Tsing Ma Bridge.

Those choosing to stay at a Hong Kong serviced apartment like Bay Bridge Hong Kong by Hotel G, for example, will typically enjoy a comparable product and services as that of a conventional hotel. At this property, facilities include a restaurant, fully equipped fitness centre, laundry and ironing room and – during the summer – an open air swimming pool with sauna rooms. A range of room categories is available.

Organized by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, the Hong Kong Food Expo comprises three sections namely the Trade Hall, Gourmet Zone and Public Hall.

The Public Hall will open to the public from 13 to 17 August. Popular local brands like Chewy, Kee Wah Bakery, Maxim’s Caterers, Nissin, On Kee Dry Seafood, Taipan Bread Cakes, Tung Chun and Vita Green Health Products will be on show in the Premium Food Zone, while the Public Hall will feature international pavilions including that of Canada, mainland China, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines and Taiwan.

Adding to the food festivities will be special events such as sharing by renowned food reviewers, lucky draw, interactive games and seminars on food industry topics.

A key highlight is the Gourmet Zone, which is aimed at those visitors craving for high-end delicacies. Open from 13 to 16 August, this will bring together over 70 exhibitors into four themes – Asian Cuisine, Chic More, Sweet Delight and Western Delicacy. And there’ll be some well-known celebrity chefs performing cooking demonstrations.

The Trade Hall will be open from 13 to 15 August, the first two days being dedicated to trade buyers and the third day open to the public.
