Restaurant Cooking, Hong Kong Style

These next four dishes are from the inventive and accommodating restaurant chefs of Hong Kong. Most of the restaurants are Cantonese, which reflects the territory‛s geographic location bordering Guangdong Province. But over the years, Hong Kong has been a British colony and a refuge for White Russians fleeing the Bolshevik Revolution, Chinese fleeing troubles on the mainland, and others. These newcomers brought their culinary traditions, and Hong Kong chefs embraced them all, so today its restaurants provide a broad swath of Chinese cooking that reflects its multicultural history.
