The United States of America takes pride in its cultural diversity shaping significance on its culinary scene. One of the joys of exploring the land of milk and honey according to many immigrants is food exploration. Each region or state offers its own specialty fare and popular ingredient that are spectacular in their individuality and quality. For example, barbecue is made differently in every area of this country, the same goes for a burger and steak sandwich. The world’s melting pot is what defines the gastronomic landscape of this great nation. Delicious USA has not come at a better time in Hong Kong. The annual U.S. food and beverage festival allows urban dwellers a trip to America without leaving the city. Now in its second year, the event presents an expanded lineup of 25 renowned restaurants in Hong Kong offering over 40 exclusive dishes using an array of premium U.S. ingredients. The exciting festival runs from July 16 to August 16, 2020, welcoming hungry foodies and discerning diners alike.
What To Expect
The festival highlights the quality and versatility of U.S. food and beverage products. It provides an incredible opportunity for chefs to innovate by incorporating modern and creative twists in cuisines ranging from American, Spanish, and Italian to Asian, including Thai and Indian.

California Wine Month is a summer-long promotion of California wines at Hong Kong retailers, restaurants, and a special pop-up shop at Fashion Walk in Causeway Bay.
