Well he was wrong (as the slaughter of dogs and cats for consumption is illegal in HK). I've been to HK several times, and not seen any evidence of Dogs/Cats being eaten. Obviously, this doesn't mean it doesn't happen, but it's certainly not widespread and in your face.

I have seen it on the menu in Vietnam, and know one person who ate it in Korea though.
