We kicked off our TFT HK Healthy Summer Dining Experience (HSDE) this past weekend by piling into a van with four of Hong Kong's premiere food bloggers and dropping by some of our lovely partner restaurants.  Genie Concept, Grassroots Pantry, Light Radiant Food, Mana! Fast Slow Food, Teakha, and the Flying Winemaker - among the 9 wonderful businesses that round out our August partners - supplied us with tastes of the TFT branded drinks/dishes, and chatted to us about their offerings.  Our partner restaurants care about their food's source and nutritional content, as well as the waste they produce. We're grateful to them and excited that they'll be joining TFT to help Hong Kong people be healthier, and to ensure that students in our partner schools in Qinghai, Rwanda, Uganda, Ethiopia, and South Africa receive nourishing school lunches.

Note from the Editor: Every Tuesday, TFT HK will bring you a post or article from/about one of our local or global food heroes. These are people who inspire us, and whose visions align with the values that TFT espouses and promotes. This week's post is from food writer/author of the beloved HK food blog, e_ting the world, Janice Leung. Janice began blogging at age 17, food blogging at 20, and hasn't looked back, making writing, in particular food writing, her career. After almost 5 years at LUXE City Guides writing about all the fabulous aspects of travel, she went freelance to focus on her passion - food. Her work appears in South China Morning Post, Wall Street Journal, Time Out Hong Kong, eater.com and more. On September 30 of this year, she is launching Hong Kong's largest farmers market, Island East Markets, in Quarry Bay. Janice, we at TFT HK salute you!
