On this week's Culinary Confidential, Christina Cates explores the dining scene and culture in Hong Kong with Ronald Asher, founder and chief pie maker of Tai Tai Pie Pies - one of Hong Kong's most beloved dessert brands.

Known for his handmade pies and nostalgic comfort flavors, Ronald has carved out quite the unique space in the city's competitive culinary scene by blending American-style baking with Hong Kong's vibrant food culture. He shares how Tai Tai Pie Pies grew from a passion project to a citywide sensation, the flavors that inspire his creations, and what it takes to stand out in a dynamic and very competitive culinary market that Hong Kong has become.

From street stalls to patisseries, Hong Kong is a pace where Eastern and Western cultures meet at the table. Ronald's savory pies perfectly embody that, celebrating the spirit, creativity, comfort, and sweet sides of Hong Kong food culture.
