About The Vibrant Hong Kong Table

A common Chinese greeting is 食咗飯未呀? “Have you eaten (rice) yet?” which is how Christine’s paternal grandmother would welcome her home during her childhood in Hong Kong. Food was the language of love, with birthdays and special events always celebrated with family meals, from nine-course banquet-style restaurant feasts to simple home-cooked dinners. After leaving Hong Kong and adopting a vegan lifestyle for health and sustainability reasons, Christine yearned to recreate the flavors and textures of her family’s food at home without animal by-products.

Christine’s book The Vibrant Hong Kong Table celebrates many of Hong Kong’s most iconic dishes with a modern, plant-based twist. She described the book as her love letter to Hong Kong that has been home to her family for four generations.
