Although our backlog of the best new eats in town is always an option for inspiration, scrolling Instagram is also a popular pastime for many of us. Luckily, foodie culture is huge here in Hong Kong, so we’re blessed with an array of options. Here are our favorite foodies to follow when we’re on the hunt for something to eat.
@indulgenteats
Jen Balisi is the face behind Indulgent Eats, a foodie account that jumps between New York and Hong Kong. She’s now based here, and regularly posts about the best new restaurants to check out – and of course, some old-timers. Since she started her account, the photographer foodie launched a blog and even a cookbook last year. Follow her Instagram handle for inspiration from all culinary angles. Unsurprisingly, she loves to indulge.
