History
Initially launched for Hong Kong (with the Traditional Chinese version only) in 1999, the English version was later introduced to accommodate the increasing demand from non-Chinese-speaking Hong Kongers and foreign residents in Hong Kong. As of July 2012[update], the Hong Kong website has approximately 40,000 recorded restaurants, 530,000 registered diners and over 572,000 ratings and comments.
