Hey fellow foodies! Today, I'd like to introduce you to the Hong Kong Food Expo ! Held every August at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai, this expo is a veritable "global food carnival." Whether you're a snack lover, a coffee enthusiast, or a home cook, you're sure to find your perfect treat here! ✨


🎉 Exhibition Highlights

  • One of the largest food exhibitions in Asia : a collection of specialties from all over the world, from local snacks to international brands.
  • There are two major exhibition areas : the "Public Pavilion" and the "Trade Pavilion". The former is open to the public for shopping, while the latter is mainly for the industry to do business.
  • New Product Tasting : The on-site stalls are super welcoming, and there are more opportunities to try food and drinks than you can count. I can always eat as much as I want while browsing.
  • Exhibitor-only offers : Many exhibitors will offer super-value deals like "$10 off specials" and "buy one get one free," making them a must-have for shopping.
  • Special activities : cooking demonstrations, teaching by famous chefs, and sharing of food culture, allowing you to not only eat but also learn new knowledge.

💡 Tips for visiting the exhibition

  1. Come on an empty stomach : You’ll definitely be eating non-stop, so don’t go too full.
  2. Prepare shopping bags/trolleys : If you have too much loot to carry, a trolley is a must-have for professional foodies!
  3. Lock in deals : The official website or app usually announces daily featured deals, so remember to do your homework first.
  4. Watch out for limited-time tastings : Some famous brand foods are only available for sampling during specific times, so don’t miss out!
