at dinner time ...

Restaurants and eateries abound in Hong Kong. No matter where are you staying in, you will have a choice of them at short distance. Just ask around to know where to direct your steps.

In addition to the possibilities around your accommodation place, a number of people who know Hong Kong well (let's call them "HK old-hands") have volunteered to take for dinner FoCM participants to some of the many inexpensive jewels of HK restauration.

A list of the HK old-hands together with a description of the place they favoured for the occasion, an approximate price, the number of people that can be taken, and the date of the event is here. If you want to join any of these dinners, write an email to the old-hand in charge.
