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 Kay Gardens next to Bury Market, which won ‘Best Market Attraction’ for 2023, and will feature over 50 stalls serving traditional Hong Kong cuisine and handicrafts.
After its success over the years, the festival, named So Hong Kong, will return on the weekend of July 19 and 20 as part of the Bury Food and Drink Festival. It 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.
Delicious Hong Kong style dishes such as soup, Chaozhou marinated duck, siu mai and turnip cake from Uncle Lam, noodle and rice dishes from On Cloud 9, rice dumplings, moon cakes, mango sticky rice and Taiwan cold brew tea from Agape Kitchen, matcha masters ChaCha and fluffy buns from JW Bakery will be available, plus many more amazing food stalls, fabulous accessories and handcrafted goods stalls.
