Fish balls (usually abbreviated as fish balls in restaurants) is the Cantonese name of fish balls and a common snack in China and Hongkong.
According to a statistic in 2002 [1], China people consume 55 metric tons of fish eggs every day. This is equivalent to more than 65.438+0.3 billion fish eggs every year, and every China and Hong Kong people eat 654.38+0.96 fish eggs every year on average.
Fish eggs can be roughly divided into two categories. The first kind is fried fish and fried eggs, which are street cooked food in China and Hongkong, starting from mobile vendors in the 1960s and 1950s. This kind of fish egg is fried with golden yellow outer layer and made of cheaper shark meat. Generally, several bamboo sticks are strung together for sale, and they can also be packaged in paper cups. Each string/cup of food stalls is uncertain, and the price depends on the location of food stalls (about 4 to 10 yuan per string/cup). Some food stalls specialize in selling fish eggs, similar to western hot dog stalls. It is often served with Chili sauce or sweet sauce.
The other is called Chaozhou Fish Egg, which is big and white. It is made of more expensive fish, and its taste and texture are very different from those of street cooked food. These fish eggs are mostly eaten in Chaozhou noodle stalls or tea restaurants with hot soup noodles (that is, fish egg noodles, the price ranges from 10-25 Hong Kong dollars). In addition, this kind of fish eggs are sold in markets and supermarkets, and China and Hong Kong people also use fish eggs as chafing dish ingredients. This fish egg is the most famous one produced in Aberdeen, China.
Shark fin is one of the common street snacks in China and Hongkong. It used to be a street vendor, so it was named because it was in a small bowl. In the past, many vendors used to take scattered shark fins (commonly known as "wings and Toma Evelle tails") from restaurants, add mushrooms, fungus, shredded pork, soup stock, monosodium glutamate and water chestnut powder (or bean powder) and cook them. When eating, you will usually add spices such as pepper, Zhejiang vinegar and sesame oil, and you can also add fish and shredded lettuce. Now there is no shark fin in the bowl wings, and it is replaced by cheap vermicelli.
Dim Sum is a traditional Cantonese dim sum, which can also be found in China and Hongkong.
The old lady's cake is round, with a layer of pastry on the surface and wax gourd sauce inside. Crispy outside and tender inside, the filling is smooth but not greasy, which is better when it is freshly baked.
There are many legends about the origin of the old lady's cake. One of them was a poor couple in ancient times. His wife made a round cake with wax gourd sauce as stuffing, and her husband sold it in the market, which was very popular. The husband named the cake "Grandma Cake" to show his gratitude to his wife.
Another legend is that the old lady cake was first created by Lianxianglou in Guangzhou. Earlier, Lianxianglou hired a pastry chef from Chaozhou. He took the wax gourd cake made by his wife in his hometown to other chefs in the restaurant and tasted it. Other chefs thought it was delicious, so Lianxianglou was improved and introduced. Because it was made by Chaozhou chef's wife, it was named "Old Lady's Cake".
Sufu is a kind of sufu product, which is distributed all over China and other parts of the world, but there are considerable differences in the way of making and eating. There are two kinds of stinky tofu: dried stinky tofu and stinky tofu milk, both of which are quite popular snacks. Stinky tofu milk was once sent to the court as an imperial dish and was loved by Empress Dowager Cixi, hence her name.
Stinky tofu is usually made from fresh tofu through fermentation, pickling, soup mixing and other processing procedures, but with the different regions and eating methods, the production methods and finished products are also quite different.
Milk tea is a kind of drink that mixes tea with milk and then flavours it. It can be found in many parts of the world, but it is not necessarily homologous.
Both Mongolians and Tibetans in China have the habit of making milk tea. Mongolian milk tea is flavored with brick tea, goat milk or horse milk, ghee and salt, so it tastes salty.
Milk tea in China and Hong Kong is also called "Hong Kong-style milk tea", and it is often called "Hong Kong-style milk tea" in Chinese mainland. It is made of black tea mixed with strong milk and sugar, which contains more milk and sugar. The cup is very big, so you can drink it hot and cold, but the cold drink is usually two yuan. Different from English milk tea, Hong Kong-style milk tea is a popular drink for the general public and the lower classes. Usually at breakfast or afternoon tea. If you eat out, you will even drink it at lunch or dinner. There are tea restaurants, fast food restaurants or food stalls, which can be served with Chinese food or western food. China Hongkong milk tea is called "* * * milk tea" because it is said that the milk tea filtered by * * * is particularly smooth. Many tea restaurants have unique secret recipes for tea matching or making milk tea as a selling point to attract customers. There is also a drink called Yuanyang in China and Hongkong, which is a mixture of milk tea and coffee, fish balls.

Dragon's beard candy
Its outer layer looks like a white beard, so it has a very special name-asparagus candy
Features: the hand-pulled sugar coating is as thin as a layer of silk, wrapped in sesame, coconut and peanuts. It looks a bit like a cocoon, but of course it is delicious. If not, it will not be an inevitable choice in the list of nostalgic snacks promoted to foreigners! However, foreigners eat novelty, but we eat memories! I hope your memories are sweet too!
My childhood memories: When I was a child, I loved watching people selling asparagus candy. If they pull the thick icing into filaments, they won't be away for a long time ... They like magic. By the way, in the eyes of children, everything they don't know and won't do is magic, so their world will be full of soap bubbles!

Dragon's beard candy
Sugar onion pancake
Features: Pancakes look a bit like ceramic tile paper used in art galleries when I was a child. There is glass in front of the iron box, which seems to tell you what is genuine.
My childhood memories: I might as well tell you frankly that I dreamed of having this box when I was a child. In addition to these candied scallion cakes, there are other different styles of candy in them. I take a box to school every day and find one to eat when I am hungry. What? Have you ever had this dream?
This snack is almost extinct in the street. If you want to savor it, you can try your luck in Jing Xian Village and Cuixin Village in Sha Tin.

Sugar onion pancake
Put Tchaikovsky
Features: It turns out that there may really be rice cake stuffing in the rice cake, but I have never seen it with my own eyes, so it is difficult to verify it. I believe most people have seen versions of rice cakes in bowls. Perhaps because of hygiene problems, most of the current rice cakes are packed in plastic cups, and I feel a lot thinner!
My childhood memories: Do you still remember the scene where Anita Yuen asked Liu Qingyun to buy rice cakes in Love Endless? It is enough to prove that the rice cake is a kind of food that makes people dream. If you don't believe me, you can try to send one to the opposite sex you are pursuing, and there will be unexpected gains. Because, our childhood is more or less based on cakes.

Fried three treasures
Features: Many styles have become a major feature of it. Count, there are dwarf melons, fried green peppers, tofu, fish balls ... no wonder they have gained a foothold in the snack market for so many years.
My childhood memories: the most profound thing is that my mother always warned us: beware of boiling oil! Seriously, this street snack has really had many accidents of frying oil and hurting people!

Dingdingtang
Features: This kind of candy is called Tintin Candy, because it makes a tinkling sound when cutting large pieces of candy.
My childhood memories: Uncle Ding Ding took a hammer and awl and chopped a large plate of sugar into small pieces. Is this picture deeply engraved in your mind?

We've all tasted it. Maltose sandwiches are really delicious. It is made of cake and maltose. After research, we know that in the past, children had no money to buy maltose cakes, so they exchanged plastic toys with "sellers" to eat them.
I'm sure you all know that shark fin is very expensive. In fact, all shark fin dishes have a reason!
People used to be poor, and a businessman thought they didn't have the money to eat real shark fin.
He used vermicelli as shark's fin and made "street bowl wings"
Those who have no money to eat shark's fin will have a chance to eat "bowl-shaped wings"!
