三十八：Hong Kong Street Foods

Lots of Variety

 During our trip to Hong Kong, we tried to save some money by eating some Hong Kong street foods. Street Food in Hong Kong is almost every where and it is as common as the 7/11 Store. You should see one beside every 7/11 Convenience Store.

Mini Sausages and Fried Squid

It's really tempting to eat one of these because of the variety and it's cheap. The price is from 3 HKD to 15 HKD only. That is about less than 20 PHP or 50 cents in USD to 50 PHP or a little more than a dollar per order.

Chocolate Egg Waffles

 Each stall sells a different variety. Some would sell grilled street foods and some would sell more of the fried ones. Some also sell noodles or soup with fish cakes and the famous curry fish balls and other ball shaped stuff like lobster, chicken, beef etc. Some sell my favorite takoyaki which is the ball shaped Japanese street food made with batter and vegetables with octopus inside but in Hong Kong it's big like the size of a golf ball and the octopus piece is also large and it's just 12 HKD for 4 large pieces.

Gigantic Takoyaki

Lobster Balls and Beef Balls and Spicy sauce

 There are also stalls that sell sweet stuff like the egg waffles which tastes like waffle cones that you use in sundaes or ice creams but it is round shaped like an egg and is hollow inside but taste good. It's around 10 - 12 HKD and has different flavors like Regular which is the normal batter, Chocolate and Black Sesame.

Mini Sausages with Curry Sauce

 Hong Kong people like spicy foods and curry so when you order, you have the option to choose whether you like your sauce sweet, spicy or curry. Curry is also sold in almost every restaurant even the famous fast food chains have curry in their menu. Curry is very common in Hong Kong and it's so common that you can smell it everywhere even on people. Don't go near people who just ate curry and smokes, it's deadly.

Fried Sausages

Food tripping in Hong Kong is fun but what I don't like when it comes to buying stuff in Hong Kong is the aggressiveness of the sellers. Hong Kong 's people are very business minded and when you buy something from a stall, make sure you don't buy the same stuff that they sell on the stall that is just beside them or you'll get cursed like what happened to me. What's even worse is that, you don't understand what they're saying because they speak Cantonese and speak very few English words.

Besides the language barrier and their aggressiveness, it's still fun to eat from the street food stalls in Hong Kong. Just pretend you understand whatever they're saying and enjoy your food. ^_^
