When we think of fast food, the typical Mcdonald\u2019s burgers or KFC fried chicken instantly spring to mind. But in Hong Kong, what\u2019s considered fast food may be a little surprising. Introducing Rickshaw Noodles \u2014 a hot favourite in Hong Kong since the 1960s that are typically found on every street corner and sold from wooden carts back in the good ol\u2019 days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now commonly found in modern shops, this bowl of goodness consists of instant noodles mixed together with a variety of ingredients such as hogskin, fishballs, sirloin, and carrots. It\u2019s then served with steaming hot soup and topped with sauces to create the perfect affordable comfort meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A traditional Cantonese staple, the Roast Goose is arguably the most popular dish in Hong Kong that\u2019s worth travelling miles for. Think light crispy skin with rich tender meat that oozes juices and melts in your mouth. The succulent meat is then paired with a sweet yet sour plum sauce for a little acidity to balance out the flavours. Deeeelicious<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it really<\/em> a trip to Hong Kong if you don\u2019t stuff yourself with Dim Sum? Braised Chicken Feet. Savoury pork Siu Mai. Shrimp-filled Har Gao. Silky smooth, fresh Chee Cheong Fun.

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

One word that comes to mind when thinking about this delectable dish? Tender. We\u2019re talking melt-in-your-mouth tender. These buckwheat noodles are topped with the most flavourful beef brisket and tendon that\u2019s been steeped in a rich broth full of Chinese herbs and spices. A definite go-to on a cold rainy day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a little something to test your limits \u2014 Snake Soup! Now, we know this sounds pretty daunting. But Snake Soup is surprisingly popular in Hong Kong due to its medicinal value and high nutritional benefits. It\u2019s typically made of at least two types of snakes and boiled with chicken, pork bone, lean meat, fish maw, mushrooms, and fungus. As well as flavoured with ginger, lemon leaves, and other spices for that fragrant blend of sweet and spicy. Thick and aromatic, this slithery broth tastes just like chicken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Known as \u2018Blood Tofu\u2019 or \u2018Blood Pudding\u2019, this soft and chewy jello-looking dish surprisingly doesn\u2019t have much taste to it. Instead, it absorbs the flavour of the sauce it\u2019s cooked with and is even eaten with salt and sugar for that extra seasoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A popular Cantonese delicacy, it\u2019s often paired with Congee and Rickshaw Noodles. It can also be found in night markets as a prevalent street snack called Pig\u2019s Blood Cake \u2014 a mixture of pig\u2019s blood, fried\/steamed sticky rice, and peanut flour that\u2019s served on a stick. Don\u2019t knock it till you try it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, we\u2019re on to the best part of every food guide \u2014 desserts! And we all know you certainly can\u2019t leave Asia\u2019s World City without a taste of its most popular pastry \u2014 Egg Tarts. To be more precise, Hong Kong Egg Tarts. Made of butter, flour, and a sweetened creamy egg custard filling, this pastry is anything but simple. With its silky texture and crumbly crusts that are delicate yet crisp to the taste, you just can\u2019t get enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saving the best for last, we have the legendary pastry \u2014 the Pineapple Bun (a.k.a Bor Lor Bao). A bun that\u2019s crusty and crumbly on the outside yet retains its fluffy texture on the inside with a slice of butter right smack in the middle. It\u2019s also been said to give off a slightly sweet taste that resembles butter cookies! Yum<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may ask, but where in the world is the pineapple? Well\u2026 truth be told, there\u2019s actually no pineapple in the recipe. Instead, the bun got its name by looking <\/em>like a pineapple. Especially from the top with its criss-cross pattern across its golden crust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
