Similar to most Asian countries, Hong Kong and Macau has been colonized a couple of times. Of course changes happened in their country but other than the cultures and traditions, its cuisine changed along with it. Chinese have migrated to Hong Kong, the British has colonized them, and all of them contributed to the food that you see around the country! Taiwan has also had its fair share of changes but it wasn't really colonized or anything. They have been influenced by the Chinese but their cuisine relies more on what was available and also their geographical location. Fruits are abundant and other products of agriculture like vegetables and rice are grown because of their sub tropical climate.
They might seem like overrated countries because you hear too much about them but you don't really have to look so hard to see how unique they are. They might have adapted to the foreign tastes and preferences but that does not take their identity away from them. Let's look at Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan in a different light through their food!
