TIPS
Most markets are not shaded so bring along your hats and sunblock.
1. FEI JIE LOCAL STREET FOOD Stick To It - Although there is always a line at Fei Jie, it moves quite quickly so you won’t need to wait long for a taste of these scrumptious skewers. Pork gizzards and intestines are the most popular choices among Hong Kong locals, but for those with slightly less adventurous palates, we recommend the sausage and octopus. Shop 4A, 55 Dundas Street, Mong Kok 2:00pm – 11:00pm (852) 9191 7683 Must Try: Pork Gizzard, Pork Tongue, Sausage, Octopus Below HK$50 (US$6) 2. FOUR SEASONS POT RICE HONG KONG-STYLE DINER
Fired Up – With crispy rice and over 32 combinations of tender meat and savoury pieces of “Lup-Mei” (Chinese sausage) as toppings, clay pot rice is a hearty Hong Kong classic that is hard to resist. This much-adored street stall always has a long queue but it’s worth the wait!
46-58 Arthur Street, Yau Ma Tei 06:00pm – 01:00am Must Try: Deep Fried Oyster Cake, Chicken Feet and Pork Chop with Rice HK$50 – HK$100 (US$6 – US$13) |
