Why is it good to listen?

The three female hosts, 何紫綸 (ho4 zi2 gwaan1) and 愛明 (ngoi3 ming4) and Tina, visit Hong Kong restaurants and recommend food while they are eating at the place. They are just a group of friends hanging out and review the foods as everyday food lovers, not professional food critics. Their speech is at a slightly fast pace but relatively clear. Listeners who’d love to discover new and interesting eating places will enjoy this show.

Description of the podcast:

The podcast is a real-time recording of the hosts visiting various restaurants and eateries that they find special, that people might not visit every day. Each audio file begins with advertisement of other programs played on this radio station (loved.hk). The actual content of the show starts at around 2:30 of each podcast. Places the hosts visit include restaurants, bars and an “eating corner” in an art store. The podcasters introduce the name and address of the restaurant they visit in each episode, and record the live sounds from the eateries the hosts visit, and sometimes interview the owner or people working at the places.

If appropriate, the hosts relate healthy eating habits with the food they taste, and the food they recommend mostly correspond to the season – food that cools you down in summer and keeps you warm in winter. The hosts do not play songs or take calls from listeners.

The whole series is casual and down-to-earth from which listeners can learn about special food places to visit.

Summary: This Cantonese audio/video podcast is recommended if you are a food lover.
