Synopsis
May food Keep Us Together is a documentary series that captures the lives of ordinary people who cook and serve food as a profession in Hong Kong. There is no celebrity chefs, presenters or voice-over in the series. Through their own voices and accounts, every episode tells a story of these men and women within and beyond the walls of the kitchen.
Apart from telling the human story of these food heroes, the series is also a collection of Hong Kong cuisine. The distinct food culture of Hong Kong is illustrated in the programs.(e.g. Dai Pai Dong, eating dim sum as breakfast, dining together as the ties of family, etc.).
