This year, Foodie is looking at making a bigger and better impact on the environment. Nothing's gonna stop us. We're getting ballsy... with one of Hong Kong's most well-loved snacks, fishballs.

In partnership with Choose Right Today, an organisation that promotes sustainable seafood through educational initiatives, Gitone, a participating restaurant in past sustainable seafood festivals, and Fish Monk, a local sustainable seafood distributor, we're hosting a fishball workshop to get the lowdown of our favourite ball - from exploring what's in them to learning how to make them.

The purpose of this event is simple. We want you as consumers to realise that you can make a big impact with little changes in your everyday life. So what's better than starting with food that we eat all the time and see across Hong Kong... Fishballs!

Anticipate ...

1) Blind Tasting Food War

What are the differences between fishballs found in commercial supermarkets and fishballs made from sustainable sources? You tell us! Taste, rate and be the judge at our Food War - fishball edition. Get an in-depth analysis of various fishball types and food labels on commercial packaging from Choose Right Today.

We will also be having special guests from Fish Monk to share more about fishballs made with sustainably sourced fishes and you can get to try them too!

2) Chef Demo

Learn how to make your fishballs in the comfort of your own home! We will be getting Chef David Chan from Gitone Restaurant, where he will shed some light on how to use sustainably sourced fishes to make a home-made, healthier and environmentally friendly alternative to the commercial fishballs we buy. With 30 years of cooking experience locally and in Japan, Canada, Beijing, Shanghai and Canton, Chef David Chan will be doing a demo on how to make his special traditional fishballs. Don't worry - he will be sharing his recipe with all of you!

Not only will you get to taste Chef David Chan's signature fishballs, but other side dishes made with sustainably sourced seafood as well.
