Hong Kong Disneyland Resort originated from Walt Disney's American dream, but the theme park and the restaurants in the two resorts can reflect different cultures and tastes.

Mei Jiale, director of catering department of Hong Kong Disneyland, said, "Hong Kong is a very diversified food city, which is very similar to new york. The public is also very particular about diet and very knowledgeable. "

Mei said that according to the early planning and research of Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, both Hong Kong and China mainlanders prefer Chinese food: "They are very proud of their local food culture."

"China cuisine has opened up a gourmet world for our cooking team. Just as German food is different from Italian food, Sichuan food, Hunan food and Guangdong food are different. The dishes in the south of China are mainly rice, while in the north, it is mainly grain. Chinese food in different places is also very different in cooking. "

Guangdong cuisine, Chaozhou cuisine, Hunan cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Beijing cuisine and Shanghai cuisine have their own unique spices, ingredients and cooking methods. But on the whole, Mei and his colleagues take "China flavor" as their starting point.

Mei said that this theme allows them to use food from different regions for pairing. There is also room for international tastes, including fried chicken and hamburgers, which are mainly American.

Starting from scratch

Mei and his colleagues spent more than two years designing the restaurant before designing the dishes. Until 2113, all chefs had been employed and began to try different recipes and dishes at the Hong Kong Cooking Vocational Training Center.

Mei explained: "Our chefs of different nationalities gather different cultural backgrounds to enhance our competitiveness. They have made in-depth research from the geographical environment of different places to the history of diet and sauces, and we are really ready. "

In the theme park, quick service is the most important thing-there are three independent kitchens in the Joker's Feast Square in Fantasy World, Bilin Restaurant in Adventure World and the Comet Restaurant in Tomorrow World-Longjian Restaurant, which are responsible for pasta, stir-fry and roast respectively.

Mei said, "All the food is fresh and healthy. Pasta will be cooked in front of the guests. These are all simple and delicious foods. " All three restaurants serve food from different parts of China. Noodles in soup are also available from Dandan Noodles, Sichuan to Nanjing. Snacks include curry chicken, kung pao chicken, Wuxi ribs and Yangzhou fried rice. The special roast tastes are popular spicy fried chicken legs, spiced roast duck and barbecued pork with honey sauce.

The price of a snack is about 5 dollars (41 Hong Kong dollars).

In addition to the theme restaurant, there are several snack kiosks in the whole theme park, which are designed from colorful hawker stalls in China. The sales station provides fresh mango juice, orange juice, grapefruit juice, pomegranate juice and mango juice, as well as fresh fruit baskets, turkey legs, chicken legs, hot dogs and sausages.

here, tea is more popular than soda, one of the reasons is that tea has the function of cooling off summer heat. The weather in Hong Kong is always wet and hot. Just ask any local guest.

There are restaurants providing table service in the park, including Street Restaurant, which serves lunch and dinner. Chinese and western dishes are gathered, ranging from fish and chips to Hong Kong-style curry chicken. The nearby Plaza Restaurant is managed by Maxim's Group, which is the largest catering group in Hong Kong, mainly serving Guangdong and other places. If you want dessert, there are muffins, croissants and cakes in the market, as well as Mickey Mouse-shaped Mi Tong.

In Adventure World, Riverview Restaurant serves family-style side dishes, including braised pork shreds and fried beef slices. The Royal Ballroom in Fantasy World has four open kitchens: Steaming, Potting (serving curry dishes), Barbecue, Sushi and Tempura. The Rocket Restaurant in Tomorrow's World is the largest restaurant in the park, serving American hamburgers and French fries. Specially recommend barbecued pork hamburger, the outer layer is steamed bun, and the flame material is pork cake made of barbecued pork and horseshoe.

exquisite dining

Jinghexuan is the most exquisite restaurant in Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel, designed by Adam Tihaney, a world-famous Italian-American designer, with a traditional Cantonese kitchen. Mei said the kitchen is the most complicated of all Chinese kitchens.

The restaurant serves western-style and Asian-style breakfasts, snacks for lunch, and dinner is a time when all chefs try their best. There are fresh seafood and other specialties such as fried crab shells stuffed with pumpkin and onion every day; Sauteed veal with lily green pepper, fried chicken, shrimp mousse and golden bean curd roll.

Asian and western buffets are also served in the Cui Le Ting restaurant in the hotel-guests have more opportunities to have dinner with Disney friends!

Chef Mickey Restaurant in Disney Hollywood Hotel mainly serves international buffet, including pancakes, Chinese barbecue, Indian curry and popular western food.

Mei mentioned: "These foods are not the paradise foods that ordinary people think. We insist on first-class food quality, which is a very exciting challenge. "
