“A Taste of Hong Kong” is a new play that combines theatre and food to tell a story that’s not often seen on stage. Described as a “snack-sized tasting class,” the show invites audiences to try some of Hong Kong’s famous street foods (including pineapple buns, curry fish balls and siu mai) as they watch the performance. The story follows actor Derek Chan as Jackie, a man who moves to Canada from Hong Kong during the pro-democracy protests. Derek joins Tom Power to talk about the play, its delicious food, and why he feels it’s important to share this story about Hong Kong with Canadians.
