Hong Kong Bites Part II: Street Food @ Soy Street 豉油街


Our street food adventures continues in Soy Street 豉油街 . .
We found this particular stall a few walking distance after the Mongkok MTR exit, you can never missed any street food stalls in Hong Kong due to its remarkable strong Stinky Tofu aroma :p

Street Stall 1
Chun Mei Mei Street Stall 真美味


Sorry for this strange angle view of the stall as the owner did not allow me to take any photo after I took a few snapshot of their food :( 



Curry Fish Ball 咖喱魚蛋 . . a must try in Hong Kong !



You can find all kinds of meat skewers and grilled seafood here at the street food stalls in Hong Kong. Beef tripes . . Beef balls . . Fish Cakes . . pork skin . . All types of sausages . . Pork Bacon . . Stinky Toufu 



Seafood on Sticks (to be grilled)




Now the verdict . .



Grilled Squid on a Stick
Rating: Taste ♥ Texture ♥ Value for money ♥ Overall
HKD 17 per stick

 Well, the overall shiny glaze and color makes it looks tastier than it turns out to be. The squid was less chewy but tough :( The only nice about this is it is served to you hot.



Curry Fish Balls
Rating: Taste ♥ Texture ♥ Value for money ♥ Overall 
HKD 11 for 2 sticks/HKD 8 for 1 stick

These tasted way better than the ones we have in Malaysia :p All because it has a stronger curry taste. In terms of texture, strangely it tasted more like our keropok lekor ikan.



Mini sausages wrapped with Bacon
Deep Fried pork intestine
Rating: Taste ♥♥ Texture ♥♥ Value for money ♥♥ Overall ♥
HKD 17 per stick

The mini sausages turned out to be pretty standard, however it would be perfect if I had a delicious sauce to go with it :) The deep fried pork intestine was an interesting choice. I would say it is not recommended for the weak heart :p It has an extremely strong after taste, similar to those of stinky toufu. 


Overall rating of Street Stall 1 : ♥ 


Few walks further down the street, we saw a small crowd gathering in front of this stall. This somehow brings back our light and hope of Hong Kong Street Food :p



Street Stall 2
Mankee Snacks文記


They offered more variety of choices and price too are slightly cheaper here :D




 More seafood !



Hong Kong favorite Stinky Tofu aka "Chou Tao Fu" 臭豆腐



These delicious looking vegetable dumpling caught my attention. However, the amount of oil they used to fry these dumplings was really . . . not so healthy ! But yeah, i still tried them :P



For this particular stall, they will provide you a cash coupon upon payment. I believe they practice this to cater for bigger crowd in order to get things more organized.


  
Got my HKD 12 . . now waiting for my delicious vegetable dumplings . . yay !





Pan-Fried Vegetable Dumplings
Rating: Taste ♥ Texture ♥ Value for money ♥ Overall 
HKD 12 for 5 pieces

It is indeed oily but finger licking good ! Love the chewy and extra crispy exterior of the dumpling ! The flour was of the right thickness and it is generously filled with garlic chives and a tiny pinch of ginger.



Assorted Deep Fried Fritters
Rating: Taste ♥ Texture ♥ Value for money ♥ Overall 
HKD 20 for any 8 pieces



Overall rating of Street Stall 2 :  

Yumz . . Definitely more street food for us ahead !



I ♥ Hong Kong Bites !

Our favourite street food stall is yet to discover ! Keep reading ;)
