i think dogs and cats are as much a delicacy in asian countries are as much a stereotype as the stereotype that americans eat nothing but hot dogs and hamburgers for lunch and dinner. (yes, actual question asked of me by my cousins in asia. evidently since i live in the usa, i should be eating nothing but hot dogs, burgers and fries, as well as visit disneyland every weekend especially since i'm in california.)

there may be restaurants in hk that specializes in such delicacies, but i didn't see them on my visit to hk several years ago.

Actually, it's illegal to eat stuff like dogs and cats in Hong Kong, it's only in China that you would see stuff like that. Especially now, since Hong Kong has had all the scares with bird flu, SARS, etc.

Hong Kong is much like Chinatown in every North American city, with a lot of Westerners, American or Canadian born Chinese and other East Asian races as well. We have many of the things you have in North America, like Dan Ryan's, Tony Roma's, California Pizza Kitchen, The Keg, KFC, Pizza Hut, etc.

Our technology here is probably in the top 5 of the the world, losing just to Taiwan and Japan. We have the newest items like mp3's, digital cameras and almost everyone's favorite - mobile (cellular) phones.

Hong Kong is not a third world country and I just wish some people would be a little bit more educated and read up on this wonderful city.

Angry We don't eat DOG & CATS IN HONG KONG

Excuse me.... I found it rather rude to be asking such a question when this is a web site that teach us how to love and take care of our Yorkies. If we did ate dog, why are we here ? To see how we can breed them so they can taste like HOT DOGS?

I can't help but reply .. and say HELL YA! seriously i don't know how many 'jokes' and questions i've heard about this. yes i understand if a person is asking out of honest curiosity and seriously wants to know but sometimes i've heard the same remark spoken with a tone of arrogance and disgust. it gets tiring and sad b/c its hard for me to believe that people still have this misconception. its almost the same as going to america and saying 'wow how's the divorce rate or obesity or etc ...' THere are so many other places in the world that have many 'weird' things about it but it all depends on who's point of view you're coming from. so i hope this was asked as honest curiosity to clear up their own misconception.

Anyways, I haven't been to HK YET, but will be going there in a couple of weeks ... i hear its one of the best places to shop. SO very excited!! anyone got any suggestions of where to go???

It is actually a crime to eat cats and dogs (animal cruelty) in many Asian countries...How the heck do these rumors get started anyhow? I'm a Canadian born Korean and people think we eat dogs/cats too!..GROSS!!! I think it's a stereotype, just like all Asians are human calculators!
