Street Food

Mong Kok, Hong Kong

Street food is very popular in Southeast Asia and has a long history in Hong Kong.
It has been gradually changed from hawker-carried mobile stalls
to mobile trolleys and nowadays small restaurants.

Various types of food can be found from street-side vendors.
Notable street food in Hong Kong includes deep fried and boiling food.
Pepper, aubergines, fish balls, and bean curds stuffed with smooth fish paste
are common deep-fried food.

Boiling food includes fish balls, squids, octopuses, and internal organs of cows.
They are commonly eaten with curry sauces

Wonderful colorful perspective of this food stall. It all looks good to me. In my years in Singapore and Indonesia we used to eat a lot of street food. It was economical and delicious. "V"
