Hi Thursday The shop s called the Press Room. Here is the article. If you go please let me know how it is regards HONG KONG (Reuters Life!) - A little gourmet cheese shop in Hong Kong, peddling platters of stilton and cheddar from select British dairies, has been quietly converting Chinese palates in a city not known for its great love of curdled milk. While fromageries are ubiquitous in Paris, and popular in New York and London, specialist cheese shops even in cosmopolitan Asian cities like Hong Kong and Singapore are a relative rarity due to a lack of broad-based demand.

Hey Thursday Am I right in reading your location is Hong Kong ? Have you visited the cheese cave over there ? Heard they have a good selection of British cheeses you can try

Cheeseman mentioned quite a few British cheeses on this forum already. eg red leicester. Nothing beats a proper farmhouse PDO cheddar. The australian and NZ are just plastic in comparison. I will probably bring back farmhose cheddar Olde Yorke (sheep milk cheese) Stilton Caerphilly wensledale and maybe some lyburn gold and black eyed susan. Well let me know if you want to come along and try them.

Hi Just joined the forum cause there seems to fellow cheese nutters on here. Wanted to make you jeleaous. Next week I am off to the British cheese festival in Oxford. Get to sample from 800 different british cheese. I plan to bring back a selection for a cheese and wine party I will hold in Shinagawa Tokyo. Anyone interested can come along just drop me a note and I will send further details. Hope cheeseman and cheesewoman can come along best regards Graham
