Recently, the Hong Kong government has strengthened its management and concentrated food stalls into "cooked food centers". Thus, under the viaduct, an open-air snack village was gradually formed in places such as the iron fence. Compared with previous years, the scale atmosphere of snack village seems to be slightly reduced, but the popularity remains unchanged. Many vendors are illegal, so. Due to strengthened control, the number has decreased.
Temple Street in Yau Ma Tei, Tung Choi Street in Mong Kok, Causeway Bay to Wan Chai are all lively at night. Markets (fresh markets) and cooked food centers are getting more and more lively every day. Although it is not found in eastern Tsim Sha Tsui and other emerging development areas, it is found in most living areas.
The most lively place is Temple Street, which is large in scale and makes people feel the atmosphere of Hong Kong, but the public security is worse than other places.
Food stalls face the street, you can't do it without tasting it. Although the content is similar to that of ordinary restaurants, restaurants and porridge experts, because it is in an open space, the air is full of rice fragrance, and you can bring your own drinks and enjoy food in a free atmosphere, so the customers here are full of smiles. If you want to experience the freedom and food culture of Hong Kong, this should be the best place to go. In particular, you can bring your own drinks, which embodies the true concept of coexistence and common prosperity in Hong Kong. You can buy drinks nearby or ask the waiter to buy them for you.
You can order immediately after you sit down. Food stalls rarely prepare recipes, but put all kinds of raw materials side by side on plates, and set prices according to plates. Simple and clear, you can click with your fingers. Seafood includes clams, shellfish, shrimps and crabs. Stir-fry with Chili, oyster sauce and lobster sauce, scald again, and steam onion and ginger. After such a simple cooking, you can drown your sorrows in wine.
Hot pot, clay pot rice and Hong Kong-style clay pot rice in winter are also charming.
At the bedside of an open-air food stall in Hong Kong, you can often see a family sitting around for dinner. This situation is indescribable.
Eating in food stalls can save too much formality and taboo on the table. Empty cans and bottles are all washed, so you can enjoy them boldly.
Hong Kong is a gourmet paradise, where cuisines from all over the world gather. Western food and Chinese food are authentic; Flavor dishes of various countries can be tasted locally, but Islamic cuisine is rare. Chinese food is mainly Cantonese cuisine, and it also accepts the masterpieces of major domestic cuisines. Seafood is so popular that even preserved egg lean porridge is decorated with abalone.
Hong Kong is the promoter of "Tang Culture" and the pioneer and innovator of "Tea Culture" in Guangdong. The dining environment, humanistic atmosphere and service attitude in Hong Kong will be eye-opening and satisfying. After nightfall, there will be some special dishes in Temple Street, which are typical popular snacks. Famous Hong Kong snacks include Wonton Noodles, eggs, beef balls, clear soup and beef offal. There are also some special cooked food stalls in Hong Kong, also called "food stalls". You can try some local sweet and sour pork, salted shrimp and so on.

Stanley has a quiet environment and charming seascape. Many foreigners live here, like a European town, and the "eating" environment is excellent. In addition to the seascape restaurant in the historic building of Murray Building, there are also Chinese, Vietnamese, French and Italian restaurants in Stanley market, and there are pubs and open-air cafes near the bay, which are full of European customs.

Saigon, Lei Yue Mun and Lamma Island-the first place to get fresh is near the water tower. These three places can be called gourmet paradise.
Saigon used to be a fishing port. There are many seafood restaurants along the coast, and there is a big fish tank outside the house, which keeps fresh seafood. Eating seafood here is more delicious than in the city. Salted fish and shrimp paste is a specialty of Hong Kong fishing village and a good gift for relatives and friends. Take bus No.92 at exit C2 of Diamond Hill Station of MTR, or take green minibus 1A at exit C2 of Rainbow Station, and get off at Sai Kung Central Station.

Kowloon City-Popular Asian Cuisine
Once adjacent to the airport, Kowloon City became a hot spot for all kinds of restaurants. Now that the airport has moved, the restaurant has stayed, forming a unique Asian food district.

Delicious and hidden in the street
I always believe that the most delicious food in a place is hidden in the streets and lanes. The more inconspicuous the corner, the more likely it is that there are people who have retired from the rivers and lakes. The breath of life, simple customs, and the happiness of chicken and dog pieces are inadvertently wrapped in a bowl of wonton, a cuttlefish ball and a chopstick beef brisket powder. ...
Zhan Zi remembered the wonton and tasted "happiness".
Before going to Hong Kong, I stayed in the forum of "Donkey Friends" for a long time, and made full psychological preparation for the sinister geographical location of "taking advantage". However, when I was dragging a dense notebook and a map that had been folded into pickles, I felt as if I had become "teppanyaki" in front of food under the scorching sun and the hot stone road. Even moved the idea of "giving up", crossing the road, taking the subway, crossing Victoria Harbour, climbing halfway up the mountain and turning the path. When hesitating at any intersection, there is a burning anger. Suddenly, there was a vibration, "Zhan Ziji"!
The gray-haired "old mage" sat in the shop, slowly filling shrimp and minced meat into the wonton skin and gathering up a "flower bone flower". All the anger vanished, and all the greedy bugs climbed up their eyebrows.
Four full wonton are lying quietly in the bowl, pink shrimp is looming, and a curved green rape floats on the noodle soup-this is the legendary "Zhanzi wonton". I searched for wonton in Wellington Street for half an hour! I took the first bite seriously, blew the skin that was about to break, and wrapped it tightly with a fresh and tender shrimp, which was fresh and sweet and full of juice. I felt "happiness" at the moment when my teeth bit down.
A bowl of real wonton is gone after a few bites, and my stomach is a little full. My ass stuck to the stool and struggled for a long time. Would you like to order another bowl? A bowl of 10 is probably the lowest price in Hong Kong. Or buy a dozen raw wonton back to the hotel? I still miss the "nine brisket" in my heart, so I had to give up my love very reluctantly, put down my spoon, swallow my saliva and rush to the next stop.
Address: 98 Wellington Street, Central.
Nine notes on mellow beef brisket
Before leaving Shanghai, a friend who was addicted to food urged him to eat "Nine Steaks" or "regret it all his life".
Go northwest along Wellington Street where Exhibition Subsets is located, bypass Jiurufang, and turn to a more inconspicuous and even a little "obscene" street-Gefu Street. The bungalows stood side by side, so crowded that a millimeter gap could not be penetrated. The brick wall turned out mottled faces, as if there were hawkers' cries in my ears last night and this morning. In such a dilapidated street, brand-name cars are parked incongruously, all of which are directed at "Jiuji Beef Brisket".
It's also a cramped shop, as narrow as a carriage. There are several tables crowded, and the guests sitting are wolfing down, while the guests standing are in a hurry, one after another. There are countless newspaper clippings posted on the wall quietly: Hong Kong beef brisket won the first place in the competition.
The brisket appeared and the soup was stewed into milky white. Wide yellow noodles have a crispy feeling in the mouth. The brisket should be chosen at the elbow, and the "tendon" is fat and the "meat" is thin, like a loving couple. The delicacy of each other permeates into the texture of every trace of beef.
The boss sat at the door and said disdainfully, "Some people eat five times a week ..."
Address: the intersection of Gough Street, Central.
Wen Hui Mo Wan Yu plays table tennis between his lips and teeth.
Zhadian Street is a bit like Wujiang Road in Shanghai, with many snack bars. At noon, the boss waited at the door of the store, smiling. White-collar workers in suits and ties rolled up their sleeves, held a stack of newspapers and pulled stools to pass the free time of lunch.
The light box of "Wen Hui Konjac Pill" is the most dazzling, and its area is even larger than that of the store. It seems that the middle-aged man with a unshaven beard is busy inside and out, and he can't even wipe the table. The desktop is "full" enough to wipe off a layer of oil. As soon as the guests sit down, throw chopsticks and spoons in your face, and that's all you can enjoy.
Order a bowl of cuttlefish balls and add reed tarts to blend in with the lunch crowd. Five glistening balls, like table tennis, are chubby and embedded in a small bowl of rice flour, which is too plump and round. At first glance, I think slapping is more urgent than eating. Take a bite and play pinball gently. Although the taste of cuttlefish is not strong, it obviously feels the delicate fiber of meatballs. The rice flour is average, the soup is clear, and a few pieces of seaweed are beautifully decorated. There are dried peppers on the table, with a pinch of heavy taste and a very different taste.
Address: the intersection of Zhadian Street
Yishun double skin milk swallowed a bowl before closing the door.
"Yishun Milk Company", an old-fashioned snack bar with pure fresh milk products, has left as warm memories as her mother when everyone grew up in Hong Kong. Shopkeepers hang the word "famous products" in front of "double-skin milk", which is a kind of domineering. The process of finding "Yishun double skin milk" is a bit "thrilling". When I touched "Yishun", it was already 1 1 pm. The small road was dark, watching the man pull down the shutter door. My buddy asked me if I was lost. I replied, "I want to eat double skin milk." The man smiled, then calmly took out the key from his trouser pocket and reopened the shutter door. At a glance, I saw bowls of double-skin milk lined up in the refrigerator.
The real "milky white" color, with a layer of slightly wrinkled milk skin on the surface, is the essence. Milk is cold when you peel it. The tip of the tongue rubs against the stewed milk, leaving no trace. Then, the fragrant milk fragrance slowly diffuses until it overflows the mouth.
I left the store contentedly and wanted to thank the kind people again. Turning around, I heard a "crack", the shutter door fell, and the man disappeared into the night in Hong Kong.

The beef offal stall on the roadside in Mong Kok is delicious regardless of the price.
It is no exaggeration to say that any place to eat in Hong Kong will not disappoint people. Delicious regardless of wealth and poverty, everyone takes what they love and everyone is happy. I especially like the roadside stalls in Mong Kok, beef offal, eggs, curry, fish eggs, large intestine and shad balls ... just touch my stomach and buy a bowl of beef offal and stew it with radish. The freshness of radish dispelled the greasy beef offal. Looking at the scenery on the street, I was dazzled, sweaty and drunk, and packed the happiness and sadness on the street back to my hometown.
Address: Mong Kok Lo, Mong Kok, Kowloon
