Celebrating 20 Years of Google Maps

In commemoration of its 20th anniversary, Google Maps has collaborated with Nicholas “Chef Nic” Tse, a renowned multi-hyphenate artist in Asia, to create a curated list of his preferred dining spots in Hong Kong. This personalized Maps list allows users to discover Tse’s hometown through his culinary preferences, featuring a diverse range of local and international flavors, including traditional Hong Kong-style cafes, also known as “cha chaan teng.” As Tse prepares for his first solo concert in 25 years, fans can also enjoy his warm-up playlist on YouTube.
