7 foodie sins to get your taste buds going this November
Hong Kong’s love affair with food and drink is deadly on the diet! Feed the devil inside you with these seven sinful tips on indulging during American Express Hong Kong Wine & Dine Month.

Cheung Chau

Time Out Hong Kong visits this vibrant neighbouring island getaway to find handmade crafts, a chilled out café and, of course, ukuleles.

1. We won’t judge if the glutton in you appears for the American Express Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival. From deluxe wine tastings to sumptuous signature dishes, it’s easy to overindulge, but isn’t that half the fun?

2. It’s normal to lust after that extravagant starter, indulgent dessert or extra glass of wine, but with these great offers, if you spend over HK$500 it could be free! So why the devil not?

3. Be the envy of your colleagues with your ability to whip up a dim sum feast, cook a boozy Sunday lunch or recite intricate knowledge of wine pairing, with this series of wine-themed tours and classes.

4. Take pride in your consumption but don’t be seen falling in the gutter during all the decadent parties! You’ll only have to pick yourself up for the host of fun street carnivals about town.

5. Don’t just stick to wine – be greedy and expand your horizons with cocktail concoctions at the HKTDC International Wine & Spirits Fair. It’s devilishly consumerist but wickedly desirable!

6. Where better to indulge the inner sloth than on holiday? Spend a lazy Sunday afternoon enjoying one of Hong Kong’s signature free-flow Champagne brunches and you’ll struggle to move afterwards!

7. Nothing induces wrath like packing those holiday bags. It may be time to go home, but don’t be angry as you can always do it all over again next year! Your waistlines may need time to forgive you…
