Food in Hong Kong

mmmmm....diverse!

sunny 33 °C

Food in Hong Kong is great. At least in my opinion. I love steamed dumplings for breakfast, english tea time (I am a teaholic) and Morrocan food. Cantonese food comforts me everyday even though I am a meat and potatoes kind of girl. Traditional Chinese in a way is like food from my home country Mexico. Tasty, varied and can be spicy or not! Every item has a million ingredients and is made from encyclopedia-like recipes. Although Chinese food is renown for Monosodium glutamate (MSG), it is not served everywhere anymore. Don't try to be a vegetarian here cause if you ask for no meat they'll give you vegetables boiled in chicken broths or fried in pig fat. NO VEGANS HERE! When you ask for vegetables in Hong Kong you get boiled kale but after you get over the essential changes and food shock, you'll find that is really quite good.

Yes, I've eaten the pigeon at the tai pai dong in Tai Po next to the bus station and it was succulent, and yeah snake soup really does warm you up but don't believe when they say "you eat this, you live long time."........'Cause that is not the case with some food, especially the deep fried food no matter what it is stuffed with. In some restaurants now, but traditionally in all places you were given a bowl of lemon tea to clean yourself (and what ever else)! See how it's done!
