Reminiscences and recipes of favorite international dishes from households, fancy restaurants and back lanes which you can enjoy today in Hong Kong, that classy old gal who will forever reign as the Queen of Cuisine for all who knew her when she was the crown jewel of the British Empire. Fred Schneiter shares a nostalgic romp back into that less hurried era-and the tantalizing cuisines and tempting cookpot scents of that cozy time await you here.

Reviews for Taste of Old Hong Kong: Recipes & Memories from 30 Years on the China Coast

"""Spirit of place meets spirits and plaice, and squid and cold melon soup and a great deal more if you are looking for a book that captures the tastes and smells of the East, this is it. A truly lovely book."" Jonathan Chamberlain, author of ""King Hui: The Man Who Owned All the Opium in Hong Kong"" ""Schneiter delightfully puts food exactly where it should be: on the table, to be shared, as a way of meeting and connecting with people. But his chatty recipes also show how there can be joy in the cooking, not only in the eating. -- Annabel Jackson, author of ""Taste of Macau"""
