Anthony Bourdain’s - No Reservations goes to Hong Kong. This is a great episode even if it just skims the surface of this culinary giant of a city. Segment 1 (10:00 min)
Hong Kong was a crown colony of the United Kingdom from 1842 until the transfer of its sovereignty to the People’s Republic of China in 1997. The Sino-British Joint Declaration and the Basic Law of Hong Kong stipulate that Hong Kong operates with a high degree of autonomy until at least 2047, fifty years after the transfer. Under the policy of “one country, two systems”, the Central People’s Government is responsible for the territory’s defence and foreign affairs, while the Government of Hong Kong is responsible for its own legal system, police force, monetary system, customs policy, immigration policy, and delegates to international organizations and events.

Yep, I agree with Ann. I can never forget the wonderful experiences of dim sum breakfasts in HK. Oh and I like that they have included some martial arts comedy in the video as well.
