French native co-author Ada Deschanel has spent years studying Hong Kong's food culture as a lens to understand the city, from its markets and cha chaan teng to its haute cuisine and street snacks. Through her work as a researcher, photographer, and writer, she documents how flavors, spaces, and gestures reveal the city's layered identity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStructured around the rhythm of a Hong Kong day, this beautifully illustrated book follows a \"journey through meals\"--from bakery breakfasts and dim sum brunches to noodle-shop lunches, street snacks, and family-style dinners. With 70 recipes, it offers everything from silky tomato-egg stir-fry and curry fish balls to sweet red bean soup and egg tarts. The dishes reflect the rich culinary heritage of Hong Kong and its Cantonese foundations, shaped by migration, colonial influences, and a distinct culture of adaptation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWoven between the dishes are personal essays about identity, memory, and belonging--stories that ground the food in lived experience and cultural insight.
