Mong Kok is one of the most visited areas in Hong Kong. It can be said to be Kowloon’s “nightless night” and a good place for shopping sprees. Another feature of Mong Kok that cannot be ignored is that there are many snack bars on the streets. These snack bars not only have local flavors, but also have local and even foreign flavors. Now let’s go to Mong Kok with everyone and look for delicious snacks together. Wanjia Shaobing King Last year, Wuhan Shaobing set off a craze in the mainland. Mr. Huang, the owner of Wanjia Shaobing King, discovered that Wuhan Tujia Shaobing did not exist in Hong Kong, so he immediately decided to go to Wuhan, the birthplace of Tujia Shaobing, to learn from the local masters. After returning from school, he opened Wanjia Shaobing King on Dundas Street in Mong Kok. In the early days of opening, Mr. Huang followed the same example to make authentic flavors. Seeing that customers had a lukewarm response, he started to try food to attract customers. Later, he learned that Hong Kong people's tastes were bland, so Mr. Huang improved the sesame cakes into the current version - "Sesame Cake King". After improvements, the sales of Shaobing King increased significantly. Later, Mr. Huang and his master innovated three more types of sesame cakes, namely "Wu Dalang Sesame Cake", "Lady Cake" and "Ya Ca Su". Standing in front of the counter, I saw the hot biscuits that had just been baked, and the aroma filled my nostrils. Although the weather is hot, many people can't help but be greedy and can't wait to try these "Chinese pancakes". The "King of Sesame Cake", "Wu Dalang Sesame Cake" and "Lady Cake" in Zhendian are salty. The salty biscuits all use moderately fat and lean pork back meat as the main filling material. However, the bases and ingredients of the cakes are different, and each has its own characteristics. Flavor. Some people's favorite is "Ya Ca Su", which is made of light pastry crust and filled with red bean filling. It is the only sweet sesame seed cake in the store, but the taste is not too sweet. The price of sesame cakes in this shop is HKD 5-10 each. Each one is as big as the palm of your hand and has a lot of fillings. On average, about 1,000 can be sold a day. Mr. Huang said he hopes that in the future, the shop will be able to collect unique sesame seed cakes from all over China. In hot weather, it is common to feel thirsty while shopping. It would be nice to have a refreshing drink at this time. There is a cane juice and green coconut specialty store on Dundas Street in Mong Kok - "Yilu Cane". The interior and entrance of the shop are filled with green coconuts as big as footballs and long branches. Bamboo cane. It makes people feel as if they are seeing an oasis in the desert, and they immediately feel the slightest chill. The boss, Mr. Lin, opened the first "Yilu Cane" in Shenzhen 4 years ago. Now "Yilu Cane" has grown to 7 branches in Hong Kong, selling an average of 300~400 cups of sugarcane juice and 200~300 cups of sugarcane juice every day. A green coconut. Don’t miss out on the green coconut and sugarcane juice of “Yilu Cane”. It is different from what we usually see. Usually, the green coconuts are white, but the green coconuts of "Yilu Cane" are green and round. Mr. Lin said that the green coconuts from Hainan Island are particularly sweet, so all the green coconuts sold in the store are airlifted from Hainan Island to Hong Kong. Bamboo cane is purchased from Shunde. This cane juice specialty store consumes 500 to 600 kilograms of bamboo cane every day. Each cup of cane juice is squeezed immediately upon request, ensuring freshness. In the hot summer, it feels really good to drink a green coconut from Hainan Island. Chocolate Fountain When you go to a hotel buffet, homemade dessert skewers using the chocolate fountain are a very popular "show". Now, chocolate fountains are no longer exclusive to hotels. There is also a chocolate fountain on the streets of Dundas in Mong Kok. Fruit's Fountain was founded by three young people. When they were traveling in Taiwan, they saw a one-meter-high chocolate fountain on the street. After eating the fruit skewers wrapped in the flowing chocolate syrup, they decided to introduce this delicacy to Hong Kong. Fruit's Fountain has three chocolate fountain machines placed in the first floor, including milk chocolate, white chocolate and dark chocolate. They are all made of Belgian chocolate bricks heated in a purple clay pot and then poured into the fountain machine to flow. The chocolate dessert skewers sold in the store are made from the above three types of chocolate with different ingredients. The ingredients include fresh fruits such as watermelon, kiwi, strawberry, banana, etc., as well as marshmallows, bubble cakes and other ingredients. Three California strawberries dipped in chocolate syrup cost only HK$15; and a pack of three assorted fruit skewers cost only HK$9. Customers can ask the store staff to draw patterns on chocolates of different flavors, and customers can also add toppings such as chopped peanuts, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips to the dessert skewers by hand according to their own preferences.

I ordered several dessert skewers with different toppings to try, and I found the banana dipped in dark chocolate to be the most delicious, while the strawberry skewers were also pretty good. The boss also said that he will launch new flavors of melon chocolate and mango chocolate. Grand Bangkok "Grand Bangkok" located on Shantung Street in Mong Kok is run by Thais and its food is authentic. So if you want to eat Thai snacks, you might as well come here. The owner recommends their specialty snack - glutinous rice chicken. It turns out that the glutinous rice chicken here is different from what we usually eat. The glutinous rice chicken here is chicken legs stuffed with glutinous rice. The cooking method is very complicated. You need to remove the bones from the chicken legs first, and then stuff them with glutinous rice mixed with preserved vegetables, pork and dried shrimps. Finally wrap it up to form a three-dimensional triangle. The roasted chicken is very fragrant and has a unique texture. When I took a bite, the chicken felt very chewy at first. Bite a little deeper and you'll have glutinous rice. After eating the glutinous rice chicken, I tried the "fried eggs". It turns out that "fried eggs" are a famous authentic snack in Thailand. The fried eggs are orange-yellow in appearance and oval in shape, available in large and small sizes. The big ones are chicken eggs and the small ones are quail eggs. It is said that only the king of Thailand could enjoy it in the past. The preparation method is to fry the eggs first, then drizzle them with Thai sweet and spicy sauce, and then reheat them on the stove when eating. You can also top it with appetizing lime spicy juice when eating. The "fried eggs" are crispy on the outside and retain the moisture inside. In addition to the two kinds of "fried eggs", there is also a special preserved egg - fish preserved egg, which is a whole preserved egg wrapped in fish meat, then fried, and eaten with Thai sauce. There are many styles of Thai snacks here, and they are also very unique. It’s unexpected that you can eat such authentic Thai snacks on the streets of Mong Kok.
