The Vibrant Hong Kong Table: 88 Iconic Vegan Recipes from Dim Sum to Late Night Recipes

For a limited time we have copies signed by Christine Wong.

This informative cookbook captures the complex intersection of flavors and ingredients in cosmopolitan Hong Kong.

It’s easy to open The Vibrant Hong Kong Table and encounter dishes and foods that are not familiar. For instance:

• Chickpea tofu, a cultural import from Myanmar which has a firm texture and is useful for frying 

• Vegan oyster sauce, made from dried mushrooms and kombu

• Jackfruit “brisket” noodles

• Typhoon shelter celeriac, adapted from the fishing families who work Hong Kong harbor

Born and raised in Hong Kong, now living in Brooklyn, Christine Wong offers explicit recipes, whose names appear in Chinese characters and are also transliterated and translated. Frequent sidebars help conjure everyday life in the city, giving us a sense of holidays, table etiquette, and nightlife.
