1. Sardine Festival

Hong Kong’s first festival dedicated to the humble sardine and all things Portuguese opens on August 29 at the AIA Vitality Park in Central on Hong Kong Island and runs until September 1.

The festival will feature Portuguese food favourites such as grilled sardines on toast, bifana (marinated pork slice sandwiches), chourico (pork and paprika sausages) piri piri chicken and, of course, pastel de nata (custard tarts).

The event also features live music, wine tastings and souvenirs to bring home. Tickets are priced at HK$80 (US$10) per person and are available from sardine-festival.com
