Ep. 8: Hong Kong

Hong Kong is one of the biggest travel & financial hubs in the world, and the territory’s diverse populations reflect this. But how has that cultural diversity shaped Hong Kong’s eating habits? How has British afternoon tea & Cadbury creme eggs blended into Chinese dim sum & moon cakes? In this episode, we talk to 5 Hong Kongers in the local chocolate industry about how the region’s British history and Chinese origins have shaped local consumption of cacao. Each guest plays a distinct role in the Hong Kong chocolate ecosystem, either making, selling, consuming, or molding chocolate to their will. But today we’ll see if their visions line up enough to grow this young industry in the direction it needs to go. To read an article related to this episode, click here.
