When it comes to Hung Hom, many people will think of the Ten Thousand Red Hall, waving light sticks and crazily calling for Mayday and Jay Chou. It is really nostalgic.

(Hung Hom Station is also the terminus of the MTR East Rail Line and West Rail Line)

But it would be a pity to come to Hung Hom only for a short stop for a concert. , because there are many delicious street snacks and fantastic street scenes in this area, waiting for you to discover.

Various restaurants are scattered throughout the small streets and alleys, including Hong Kong’s local egg waffles, cart noodles and tea restaurants, as well as Hong Kong drifters’ favorite Shanghai noodles, Yunnan rice noodles and Sichuan cuisine. Even if you are a street junkie, you can walk around with the scent of the street and come back with a smile~

Every time I come to Hung Hom, Peninsula Jun always takes away some interesting memories, and this time too :

I went to a small street called "Chai Guanli" to eat noodles. As I walked, I came across several haunted houses that had been reported online before, so I had my first time in the moonlight. Let’s take a look at the experience of visiting a haunted house...

This fish egg shop opened next to the coffin shop. My old uncle and I stood on the side of the road, inhaling the smell of gold and silver paper and eating fish with relish. Eggs...

Oh, I also accidentally discovered the braised goose restaurant where Brother Jiacheng and Cai Sheng had eaten...

Hung Hom is an old district and is also next to the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. , many restaurants are as low-key and plain as the neighbors. It is very enjoyable to sweep the streets here. In this issue of Hung Hom Food Magazine, your old friend Peninsula Jun will still lead the way. Our goal is to eat all over Hung Hom!

“A hot dog bun with cheese as a quilt cover”

A big pat of hot melted cheese was poured on the surface of the hot dog, twisting and drawing... I remember one night, I I was so stimulated by this video that I lost sleep and my head was filled with cheese! Cheese! Cheese!

So when I heard that there was a cheese hot dog shop in Hung Hom, I immediately flew over. The shop is called iconic H. The shop specializes in all kinds of German hot dogs: Shiba meat dog, giant eel dog, pine leaf crab dog, black truffle dog... I want to eat every one of them.

The top hot dog, "Shiba Dog", is so fragrant and spicy that it seduces you so much that even Peninsula Jun picks it up regardless of his manners and takes a big bite, emmm it's delicious!

The soft cheese has a hint of frankincense in the mouth, but the cheese flavor is not very strong. The hot dog soul sausage is full of meat and juicy. It is paired with soft and fufu buns and minced bacon. It is simply delicious!

Similarly evil are the French fries, each one tightly wrapped with cheese, salty and fragrant, and accompanied by a sip of iced Coke, burp~~~

“Swiss chicken wings with rich flavor and smooth meat”

After finishing the hot dogs, the next stop is Hung Hom Ice House. There is a common dish here, "Swiss Chicken Wings + Scrambled Egg Toast", which is a must-eat.

Look, the bronzed skin color of the chicken wings is more tempting than Louis Koo! After eating it, the chicken skin is sticky and glutinous, the chicken is tender and smooth, and it has a rich aroma of sweet soy sauce. After eating three large pieces, it is still not enough for the throat.

The waiter saw me taking photos like crazy and couldn't help but come over and introduce: "It's delicious, the Swiss sauce used to soak the chicken wings took 8 hours to cook."

Switzerland The juice is stirred out first, first class! The curly noodles "shhh" in your mouth, elastic and delicious.

The toast is slightly crispy and filled with slippery and juicy scrambled eggs, which is the exclusive delicacy of Hong Kong Tea Club.

“A candy shop where students gather,

There are many ways to buy large items”

This “Run Yi Run” is a late-night canteen for polytechnic students. The mediocre sugar-water ice products win people's hearts with their large portions, affordable prices and good taste. Even if it's "moonlight", you can still spend a small amount of money to have a bowl of tofu pudding.

I ordered a serving of shaved ice. I originally expected a “bowl” portion, but I didn’t expect that the boss served a “big bowl”! A pillar of shaved ice, with taro balls, tofu puddings, jelly, and red beans at the bottom... Topped with sweet and thick condensed milk, it looks cool~

A spoonful of sweetness After taking in the smoothies and the juicy and tender ice, bursts of coolness penetrated the whole body, so cold that my internal organs were trembling~~ I like this unbridled coldness!

If you are a mango fan, don’t miss this bowl of mango tofu pudding. Sweet and fragrant mango mixes smooth tofu pudding, with mango juice as the base. The mouth is full of rich mango flavor. The only drawback is the ice. Not enough, the lukewarm temperature is not satisfying.

“The fish egg shop next to the paper shop”

In addition to the Hong Kong Coliseum, another symbol of Hung Hom is the “grand hotel” (that is, the funeral parlor). Hong Kong people humorously refer to the “funeral parlor” as "Being buried" is compared to "checking into a grand hotel"). When looking for food in the nearby area, you often have to pass through various paper shops and longevity shops (coffin shops), and this is Linji Snacks.

Lam Kee mainly sells fish and egg shaomai rice rolls that are common on the streets of Hong Kong. The food may seem ordinary, but the sauce is better than it is.

The snacks topped with sweet sauce, spicy sauce, and sesame sauce will turn into the best in seconds. The sesame sauce is fragrant in the mouth, sweet and spicy. For this rich and addictive flavor, both old Hong Kongers and tourists come here. There is no hesitation in queuing up in front of the paper shop, waiting to eat.

The weather was 34 degrees, the hot air was blowing against our faces, and there was no air conditioning. Everyone was sweating, but they still stood on the roadside eating fish eggs, licking their shiny lips after eating, and their faces were full of happiness. to leave.

“Brother Jiacheng has eaten all the braised goose and said it is good”

After running around for a long time, when the hunger level reaches the red warning signal, the braised goose rice from “Sheng Kee Braised Meat” can be eaten When you get jealous, you curse in your mind: It tastes so damn good!

If a plate of braised goose rice doesn’t satisfy you, try a braised goose platter! Goose slices, goose meat, goose eggs, foie gras, goose intestines, goose kidneys, as well as the delicacies of braised pork neck, braised tofu, and braised pig ears will bombard your taste buds in turn.

Sheng Kee’s braised goose is salty and must be eaten with rice to enjoy it. My personal favorite is goose fillet. The chef slices the goose breast into thin slices with a knife. The meat is tender and smooth, and the goose skin is sweet and fragrant. The goose kidney is also unforgettably crispy.

After having a great time, I chatted with the store owner and found out that they have another one in Sai Ying Pun. Both of them are well-known braised goose specialty stores in Hong Kong.

In addition to the common people, even celebrities such as Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce and Cai Sheng Jiacheng also like to eat his geese. This story of Chaoshan people making a fortune in Hong Kong will be written by Peninsula Jun in another article.

“Egg waffles that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside”

You got a paper bag of warm egg waffles when you were sweeping the streets? Although the selection of this Hung Hom egg waffle is not as wide as Mommy’s egg waffle, the taste is the essence of the Hong Kong version’s “sugar-sweet and eggy aroma”.

Freshly baked egg waffles have the best taste. The outer layer is crispy and the inner layer is half solid. They are crispy at first and then soft when bitten, and the sweetness melts between the teeth little by little...

In addition to the egg waffles, another specialty in the store is the pancake. I saw my uncle take out a small round pancake wrapper from the stove, spread it thinly with ice cream on one side, roll it into a hand roll shape, and then fill it with spoonfuls of mango dices...it looked delicious.

Take a bite and wow! The light and slightly sweet pancake skin, paired with the thick and sweet mango meat, is more delicious than some exquisite and gorgeous desserts. You must try it!

“The most popular Che Tsai Noodles in Hung Hom”

The first thing to do when eating Che Tsai Noodles at “Masked Restaurant” is to read all the notices in the store

< p>At first glance, it seems that the store is easy to talk about, but if you think about it carefully, it is also right for diners to abide by the rules and reduce the store's troubles. (Quick question, I like the cart model in the store~)

The soup base of the cart noodles includes tomato potato, spicy, and satay, which is different from the traditional pork bone soup.

The tomato and potato soup is very clear, with the sweetness and sourness of fruits and vegetables. After eating the appetizing soup and the oily noodles, the stomach that was already sloppy after eating is soothing~

Better than Chezi noodles Even more surprising are the barbecued pork and soft-boiled eggs. The barbecued pork was delivered from the charcoal stove to the table in less than 10 seconds. The plum barbecued pork was fragrant with the charcoal aroma, and honey oozed from the corner of the mouth. Oops, my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

The soft-boiled eggs are soft in the mouth, and the orange-red yolk is slightly sticky~

After eating, we started to walk through the streets and alleys. Along the way, we discovered many interesting shops. , like this traditional soy sauce garden selling handmade bean curd and sweet vinegar.

The oldest cinema in Hung Hom, the Gem Cinema, still retains many projectors and movie posters from the last century, which Hong Kong film fans will definitely like.

There is also this imported snack shop: Youpin 360, which sells various foreign brands of chocolates and biscuits... In addition to Hung Hom, there are also other districts. If I pass by, I will go in to hunt for treasures.

This issue’s food hunt in Hung Hom is just the tip of the iceberg. There are also various delicacies in this area such as skewers, Japanese food, Sichuan food, Shanghainese food, etc. Haha, the space in your stomach is limited. Next time, Peninsular will take you to explore!
