A street food festival offering a taste of Hong Kong is returning to one of Greater Manchester’s award-winning markets, bringing with it plenty of delights from the region. The Hong Kong food festival will be taking over Bury Market, which won ‘Best Market Attraction’ for 2023, and will feature 40 stalls serving traditional Hong Kong cuisine and handicrafts.
After its success in March, the festival, named So Hong Kong, will return on June 23 and 24 and will not only celebrate Manchester’s Hong Kong community, but also introduce people to the region’s food, which includes homegrown Cantonese cooking as well as Japanese, Korean and South Asian dishes. Hong Kong cuisine is characterised by rice dishes, roasted meats, soups, dim sum and the increasingly popular Hong Kong French toast, many of which will be available to sample in Bury next week.
Delicious Hong Kong style dishes such as Yansu chicken, deep-fried tofu, mushroom and taro ball from Garden of Peach, Sai Kwan handmade rice noodles from LoJo Mate!, bubble waffle, fin soup, dim sum and bubble tea from Shining Rainbow Dream Tea and Snacks will be available, plus many more amazing food stalls, fabulous jewellery, accessories and handcrafted goods stalls.
Organised by Moliuliu’s Store, a Hong Kong grocery store based in Bury Market, the event will also feature traders offering Hong Kong arts and crafts, with everything from handmade accessories, stationery, pearl jewellery, candles and aromatherapy products available to browse.
Get your tummy ready for a whole load of ramen, dim sum and all the Hong Kong and neighbouring delights this long weekend.
So Hong Kong food festival will take place at Bury Market on Friday 24 June and Saturday 25 June from 9am. The event is free to attend.
