With Hong Kong restaurants and hotels providing an array of festive and fun-filled ways to enjoy the season, there are still plenty of ways that you can celebrate this year. Whilst 2020 may have turned out differently to our expectations, we will look back on this year with a newfound appreciation for a simpler life – one filled with gratitude for the things we have long taken for granted. We will have learned to celebrate and take care of one of life’s greatest blessings, our health, and be thankful for the opportunity we have had to reconnect with old friends. After an extraordinary year, our community is stronger now more than ever, but our business would not be as strong as it would be today without our amazing members, business partners and corporate clients that we have built long standing relationships with.

  • The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong
    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.
