7 Viral Foods & Food Trends In Hong Kong 2025: Where To Find Them

Caviar On Nuggets

The viral food trend of pairing caviar with chicken nuggets has taken the culinary world by storm, thanks in part to celebrities like Rihanna embracing this unexpected combination. In Dubai (of course!), there's already a restaurant specializing in this trend. For those eager to try this luxurious twist on a fast-food classic right here in Hong Kong, starting with McDonald’s chicken nuggets is a reliable choice, as their crispy exterior provides a satisfying contrast to the delicate, salty caviar. To elevate this dish, source high-quality caviar from a reputable supplier.
