Cecelia - gosh, she really knows how to offer her foodie tasting tours and she has just updated and upgraded her Temple Street Night Market, street food tour.

About Me

Cecilia founded Hong Kong Foodie in 2011 to share her passion and showcase Hong Kong and its food to travelers to her home town. A globetrotter and worldwide nomad, she believes food connects people and bridges cultures.

Hong Kong Foodie curates culinary journeys across different neighborhoods in Hong Kong, leading hungry souls from around the world to savor the city’s best-loved dishes. It partners with small, family-run eateries to showcase not just their artisanal foods and drinks, but the true Hong Kong stories behind their history and development.

Born and raised in Hong Kong, Cecilia has also lived in the US, Japan, and Singapore. She has traveled extensively to 34 countries (and counting), where she often mingles with people from nearby neighborhoods and gets them to introduce her to authentic local flavors.

Cecilia also brings a wealth of professional experience from her prior life in the corporate world. Her diverse career took her from media and digital advertising to management consulting, from bond trading to equity analysis, and running online operations for one of the largest e-commerce businesses in the Greater China and the Asia Pacific region. In her quest to understand local culture during her travels and connect with the natives she meets (and be able to order scrumptious local food), she has a knack for languages as well. In addition to native Cantonese and English, Cecilia speaks conversational French, Italian, Japanese and Mandarin.

I have had conversations with all my friends about why I never offered food tours, there has always been a world wide consensus in the industry that you have to be a true local or native of that city and | or country to have the expertise to offer food tours - I see the logic of that position and have never had a problem with it but then I should point out that in a way I am an expert in Hong Kong food, I have eaten (at last count) at around 1,300 (ish) Chinese Restaurants in Hong Kong since 1972, (having lived here for 53 years) half of my wife’s family are Hong Kong Chinese and I have a fairly good grasp of what is what food wise.

I choose not to do food tours in Hong Kong primarily for health reasons but when I did tours, many times we ate in local restaurant’s for snacks, lunch or dinner and I realised that my expertise was Hong Kong and not specifically knowing the in’s and out’s of the local cuisine, I just could not forsee myself doing food tours and as they say, best leave it to the experts! in addition many of the best local restaurants do not have English Menu’s or English speaking staff so I am out of my depth.

I should point out that I do have one major barrier to being an expert foodie guide, I absolutely hate tea, any tea, I have never had a cup of tea in my entire life (and yes, I am English) a few sips when I was a kid but that was that, never again! as you probably know the Chinese take their tea culture very seriously, it is a true art form and how could I talk about tea when I have never had it!! (and yes, I am a very unfussy coffee drinker)

I have always advised my friends to stress the importance of doing food tours with “a local”. like I said I have no issue with that.

Cecilia and her team (which includes her sister Silvana) have really nailed it and I have always recommended them to my guests when I did private tours of Hong Kong, many of my guests would do 2 or even 3 tours whilst in Hong Kong with one of them being a very specific food tour.

So read on, have a look at the Hong Kong Foodie Tours websites, browse their Instagram site as well and then book a tour or two with them!
