Tour Hong Kong With Martin Yan

Filed under: Dining, Luxury Travel & Hotels

I have memories of seeing Julia Child on television as a kid but the chef that was most inspirational to me was another PBS veteran, Martin Yan. His Yan Can Cook show brought Chinese cooking to American audiences at a time when most American knowledge of Asian food was confined to sweet and sour pork. You can travel with the relentless cheerful legend on a special Hong Kong adventure this fall.

The package includes a stay at the Kowloon Shangri-La. Chef Yan will go with you to a local market and accompany you on other adventures including a full-day tour to Lantau Island to see the world's largest outdoor bronze outdoor Buddha statue and eat a meal prepared by the monks at the Po Lin monastery. The tour isn't small, it is open to 60 people and the first 50 people receive a copy of Chef Yan's cookbook, a kitchen knife and chopsticks. The tour costs $2.860 per person double occupancy and runs from October 27-31.
