Hong Kong Street Food

This might be just too "exotic" for some of the people. Yes, it is Pig Intestine. The pig intestine is stuffed with Pig intestine, keep doing it like few times, then deep fried it until crispy outside (the casing) The crispy casing and the all the greasy fat are what makes it delicious. Asian are fond with animal innards and guts because of their complex and full taste. Hungry Travellers, you should try this famous Pig Intestine when you are in Hong Kong.

I was so hungry that night, so I picked up a box Soya Sauce Chow Mein(Fried Noodle) at a street food store right outside, the train station. The chow mein has bean sprout, onion, green onion.

It is rarely to see these kind of pickles and dried fruits card in Hong Kong now. As I remember some of them even have pickled waterchest nut, pickled papaya, and much more. These pickles carts usually can be find easily outsite of the cinema in Hong Kong long time ago. The pickles and candies might weight by pounds or by pieces depend on what you are buying. Then it will be put in to a small transparent plastic bag or in a paper bag.

In Kowloon, there are mobile chestnut chefs who also sell baked yams (sweet potatoes). The chestnuts are stir fried with bits of black pebbles (coals) which add a unique flavour to them. This particular man's chestnuts weren't that good, however.

A typical street food vendor in Hong Kong with all kinds of street food, deep fried, boiled, steamed, you name it ~~

siu mai/shiu mai is chinese dim sum... the traditional one is made of pork meat wrapped with a thin layer of dumpling skin (yellow like in the pic !). but this street food version is made of processed fish (i believe) which is just as tasty !

I used to like smelly tofu a lot when people sold them on the streets. However, now I can only find them in shops located in MongKok. They are not as good as the dirty street tofu but still one of a kind. The tofu is prepared with who knows what and it becomes smelly. Next it gets deep fried which gives it a crispy shell. I love eating them with both sweet and hot sauces added. Yummy !

You can make your own special dish by adding different food to the noodles such as pig skin, fishball, beef ball, red sausage, etc... it usually tastes great with the soup because the same bowl of soup has been used to cook for like decades. lol !
