"To understand a place, we must start with its delicious food; To understand the local food culture, we must start with its snacks. " There are many kinds of snacks in Hong Kong, each of which has its own story and contains the most authentic Hong Kong culture. Why can't the pineapple bag find the pineapple? Why is the old lady's cake a gift for her wife on Valentine's Day? In Hong Kong, you can start with a cup of milk tea, a bowl of porridge noodles, a dessert, a Hong Kong-style snack or a Zhaicun dish to experience the most primitive feelings of Hong Kong. Under the crispy skin of the pineapple bag is soft bread, which is full of fragrance. No wonder it has become the darling of tea restaurants, ice rooms and cake shops. This Hong Kong-style classic snack is named after its golden yellow and pineapple-shaped cakes. It is said that in the early years, Hong Kong people felt that bread tasted monotonous, so they added a layer of cakes made of sugar, eggs, flour, lard and other materials to the bread to increase the taste and taste. Cut the hot pineapple bag out of the oven and put a piece of cold butter on it, which is the pineapple oil that McDull, a local cartoon character in Hong Kong, likes to eat. The old lady's cake is a snack wrapped in pastry and sticky wax gourd sauce, which is a household name in Hong Kong. In the past, the traffic was not developed, and many people living in urban areas would buy old lady cakes as gifts when they went to Yuen Long, New Territories. Now, you can easily buy it in various China cake shops in the city and taste it at any time. According to legend, the old lady cake originated from an old teahouse in Guangzhou and is famous for its dim sum cake. One day, a Chaozhou dim sum chef made a special trip to the teahouse to buy tea for his wife to taste, but she felt that it was not as delicious as the melon horn cooked by her family. So she made a unique melon horn with wax gourd sauce, sugar and flour. The master ate it and thought it was delicious, so he invited everyone in the teahouse to try it. Everyone was full of praise, and the teahouse owner even improved this dessert and sold it, calling it "old woman cake". Egg tart It is the habit of many Hong Kong people to have an egg tart and a cup of milk tea in afternoon tea. Speaking of authentic snacks that Hong Kong people love most, egg tarts must also be on the list. Egg tart originated from English dessert egg tart, but the practice in Hong Kong is different: it is baked with egg paste in the crust, which is unique. Hong Kong egg tarts can be divided into pastry and pastry, each with its own guests. The crust of the butter cake is similar to the pie at West Point, and the taste is crisp and relatively complete and compact. Crispy skin is made up of layers of crispness, which is very crisp. Shaqima Shaqima this dessert originated in Manzhouli, which means "delicious dessert" in Manzhouli dialect. Hong Kong people usually call it "Ma Zi". In the 1960s, there was a saying that "Eat Ma Zi and win Ma Zi", which means that if you eat Shaqima, you will win the horse race. Shaqima's production process is very complicated and lasts for six hours. Now you can also find hand-made Shaqima in Hong Kong. When you pass by the street snack bar, you will see the master holding an iron mold and baking it on the stove to bake a small spherical cake with golden outside and crisp inside, which is an egg. Besides the original flavor of cream, eggs have many new flavors, such as chocolate, strawberry and shredded coconut. Their tastes and colors are ever changing. White sugar cake is a crystal clear dessert, which tastes soft, sweet but not greasy, and has a little sour taste of fermented rice. This kind of white sugar cake from Shunde, also known as "Lunjiao cake", is simple in materials, complicated in production and requires a long period of fermentation. There is a small shop in Hong Kong, which uses Shunde's secret recipe. Every day, it uses freshly ground rice paste, which is more fragrant than the newly bought white sugar cake made of sticky rice flour. The dessert in the small porcelain bowl is soft and smooth, with the smell of red beans. When eating, it is very convenient to pick it out along the bowl with a bamboo stick and eat it while walking. In the past, there were only two traditional flavors of brown sugar and white sugar, but now there are many flavors such as brown sugar, pumpkin and green tea.
