Eat Your Words - Food Critics Cook for Charity!

5 Food editors
5 Chefs
5 Course dinner
125 Critics
All for 1 fantastic charity

You've read our reviews, now see if we're actually worth our salt!

For 1 night only, 5 food writers will be paired with 5 chefs and put to the ultimate test – serving a 5 course dinner to 125 critics at The Salted Pig!

Who are the critics? Well, you, the public of course.

You will be invited to “crit” each course on its merits - a turning of the tables so to speak - and a challenge for our favourite food critics to eat their words!

It is all for a bit of fun, of course (you can even watch us bumble about in a commercial kitchen from live cameras in the restaurant), and, most importantly, it's to raise money for local food charity Foodlink, to alleviate food wastage and hunger in Hong Kong.

The 5 teams are (in order of course/dish appearance):


And check out the fantastic auction prizes, including:
  • A pastry and bread master class for 10 people with Gregoire Michaud and his team at Bread Elements
  • A rooftop dinner cooked by Anthony Fletcher at The Pawn 
  • A meat cooking class for 10 people with Jason Black at Pantry Magic, with a little goodie bag for each person from Pantry Magic
  • A HK food tour led by me, as part of Little Adventures in Hong Kong
  • A cheese and wine pairing for four people at the Caprice Cheese Room at the Four Seasons Hong Kong
  • A $1000 gift voucher for dining at Yardbird
  • A two-night stay for anyone visiting HK at the J Plus Boutique Hotel in Causeway Bay
  • A custom-made chef uniform by Chefworks
  • A blind date with the gorgeous Ale Wilkinson of The Dim Sum Diaries
That's me in my Chefworks uniform! (Just trying it on for size, not my team "colour" hehe)
