Wazzup Pilipinas!
Not only because it's just an hour and a half away, Hong Kong has so many attractions to offer for every tourist who wants to maximize his or her trip for a more memorable and worthwhile experience.
Aside from all the shopping from the numerous large malls, and amusement from all the colorful theme parks, there are so many tourists attractions to enjoy. I've learned at the event that Hong Kong also has many areas where you can hike and camp out to enjoy their mountains or wilderness.
This is why it was not surprising that Filipinos emerged as the number one tourist of Hong Kong. There is no doubt that we have totally embraced Hong Kong as our "quick" and most affordable best choice for our weekend getaways or simply to enjoy special holidays like the Christmas and New Year seasons.
But one of the many reasons why Hong Kong is often visited is also because of its culinary delights. There are so many choices to feast upon that many chefs also go there once in a while to get inspiration for their next gastronomic masterpiece.
This is the reason why the Hong Kong Tourism Board has focused on "food" as a campaign theme to attract us even further to come and visit Hong Kong more often. They've tapped select chefs to become their ambassadors for their Hong Kong Tourism ads with a campaign slogan of "Best of All, It's In Hong Kong", and their list of endorsers included Chef Margarita "Gaita" Araneta Fores, an internationally renowned chef from the Philippines who's already making waves globally for her amazing creations.
For those new in the restaurant scene, she was one of the two chefs who prepared the welcome dinner for Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) leaders during the APEC Summit in November 2015. She was also hailed as the first Filipino who won the Asia's Best Female Chef for 2016 by Asia's 50 Best Restaurants awards council.
At a media launch held at the Ascott Hotel in Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in Taguig, Chef Margarita or Gaita for short was excited to share to the event attendees how she prepared the dishes they served during the Hong Kong Tourism Board's "Best of All, It's In Hong Kong" media launch. If you want a complete explanation, I've recorded them on video which are available on our official YouTube channel at http://www.YouTube.com/wazzuppilipinas
Wanting an exclusive, I also personally interviewed Chef Gaita for a more intimate explanation and other inquiries that you may find interesting.

Below is the official press release for the Hong Kong Tourism Board "Best of All, It's In Hing Kong" tourism campaign media launch:
Hong
Kong’s latest global marketing campaign inspires Chef Margarita Forés to share
the best tastes and experiences Hong Kong has to offer through
specially-created dishes
Hong
Kong Tourism Board today launched a new marketing campaign in the Philippines,
titled ‘Best of All, It’s in Hong Kong’ to
highlight the rich diversity and quality of experience the city has to offer to
visitors around the world.
Four
videos starring local personalities and the city’s stunning skyline and scenery
showcase the very best of Hong Kong – focusing on gourmet dining, fashion &
entertainment, family adventures by land, sea and sky, and the Great Outdoors –
all introduced by locals who know Hong Kong best.
Ms
Becky Ip, Deputy Executive Director, Hong Kong Tourism Board, shared, “We want
Filipino visitors to see, feel and have a taste of the best Hong Kong can offer
through the eyes of locals via this campaign. From the videos, Filipinos can
discover the breathtaking intensity, surprising contrasts, rewarding variety
and captivating style, within Hong Kong. This new brand campaign will take Hong
Kong to new heights as a destination by connecting and inspiring Filipinos, especially
young people and families, to travel to Hong Kong and experience the best and
most authentic Hong Kong moments.”
A
core must-have experience of Hong Kong is ‘Dining’. Boasting a vast diversity
of dining experiences from unique local street food to Michelin-starred
restaurants to world-class international cuisine, Hong Kong allows travelers to
eat the entire world within the city – making it a true “culinary capital of
Asia”.
Chef Margarita shares her love for Hong Kong and how Hong Kong
inspires her
One thing that
always connects Filipinos to Hong Kong is the shared love for food. Asia’s Best
Female Chef, Margarita Forés’ strong passion for Hong Kong has landed her an
opportunity to be part of the filming of the gourmet dining video, and also
inspired her to create a special menu that fuses Filipino and Hong Kong flavors.
“I am honored to be
able to marry two of my favorite things, Hong Kong and my passion for cooking,
and contribute to Hong Kong’s latest brand campaign,” shares Chef Margarita. “I
hope that through my specially-created dishes, fellow Filipinos will be able to
savor the best tastes and experiences Hong Kong has to offer, and discover Hong
Kong to create their own unique authentic experience.”
She also adds, “For
Filipinos, food means celebrations, togetherness and hospitality. It is no
surprise why we keep flying to Hong Kong, to enjoy an exciting variety of food
options. Personally, I love exploring traditional dishes that reflect the heritage
and cultures of Hong Kong.”
Apart from the food,
Hong Kong is also Chef Margarita’s favorite travel destination because of its
booming and stylish fashion scene. The city’s attractions also never fail to
delight families, just like Chef Margarita who used to bond with her son by visiting
Hong Kong Disneyland and Ocean Park.
Chef Margarita is
also amazed by the less known side of the city - natural landscapes. Hong Kong
has green mountains, beaches and outlying islands to explore and enjoy the
natural breathtaking scenery; suitable for Chef Margarita’s healthy lifestyle.
Philippines tourism trends /
outlook
The Philippines remains an important
source market with more than 700,000 Filipinos visiting Hong Kong each year.
In 2016, visitor arrivals from the Philippines
recorded a healthy double-digit growth and this growth momentum will continue. This
shows that Hong Kong is still a very popular destination for Filipinos,
particularly in celebrating occasions, enjoying theme parks and attractions,
shopping and café hopping; as well as exploring the outlying islands and
embarking on hikes to appreciate the natural scenic beauty.
