Hong Kong Style Tea Cafe:Globalization of Food Culture in Hong Kong

With an introduction to the anthropology of food for the second half of the 20th century,this paper discusses new theoretical approaches of the 1990s for the study of food culture as flobal commodities.Hong Kong style tea cafe symbolizes the globalization process of restaurant eating as well as cultural tradition of Hong Kong.Tea cafe begins as an imitation of European style eating-out,gradually indigenized Western menus,eating rituals,and services.Modern adaptability and constant change in both decor and menu,of this proletarian eating place,proves to be a successful local response to the omnipresent global fast food.Tea cafe helps to illuminate adaptation of Hong Kong people and culture.Hong Kong style tea cafe,recently spread overseas,becomes an important metaphor for Hong Kong identity.
