Must Try Hot  and 
Cold Appetizers in  
Hong Kong
Appetizers are finger foods usually served before the meal. Also called by  names such as 
hors d’oeuvres, antipasti, or starters, these are sometimes  served in between the meals 
too. These range in variety from very simple to  extremely complex, completely 
depending on the occasion and the time  taken to prepare.
Not just food, these are also best accompanied with cocktails, mocktails,  and other 
drinks.
As said above, the appetizers are of different types, but here I am going to  focus mainly 
on the following two kinds.

BETWEEN THE BOTH.
HOW ARE HOT AND COLD APPETIZERS SIMILAR?
Well, the similarity between both the appetizers is just the fact that these are meant to make you eat  more.

appetizers. These develop hunger or we can even say these give you the bandwidth to think over  the main 
course you would want to order at your favourite restaurant in Hong Kong.
HOW DO BOTH DIFFER?
The literal difference between cold and hot appetizer lies in their temperature. As the name suggests, cold  
appetizers are served in lower temperatures, while hot appetizers are served in higher temperatures. Hot  or 
cold, these are meant to make you want more, develops hunger followed by the main food – lunch or  dinner.
