Hong Kong is most definitely one of my favourite places in the world
besides the fact that Hong Kong has amazing shopping, people are quite friendly,

you absolutely have to try and before we start make sure you subscribe
if you haven't already, and stay till the end because we are going to be trying
Hong Kong's most divisive street food. some people love them, some people hate them,
there is no in between. make sure you stick till the end, let's go!
[Must-Eat Hong Kong Street Food 2019 #1: 'Cheung Fun': Steamed Rice Noodles]
Ok so i've just arrived at Hop Yik Tai Cheung Fun. so this is one of the best steam rice
paper in Hong Kong it's quite a simple dish really; literally
it is just steamed rice flour, rolled together with peanut butter, sweet sauce, soy sauce
and sesame seeds and that's pretty much it look at this - this is exactly what it looks
like, absolutely slathered in sauce
it is amazing, absolutely love it
as you can tell by that massive line over there, i'll show you in a bit, how long that
line is - i waited for about 15 minutes for this, and every minute absolutely was worth it
Ladies and gentlemen that is a wrap,
this is the last cheung fun that i have - it's amazing
[Must-Eat Hong Kong Street Food 2019 #2: 'Put Chai Ko': Bowl Pudding]
i've just got myself a Cake Pudding, which is one of the most nostalgic Hong Kong street
food. this is exactly what it looks like: it's steamed in like a bowl and then it's
got like red beans in the pudding itself. it feels quite dense, it's a gelatin type
substance - and this amazing little dessert costed $9 Hong Kong dollars
but um, let's give this a try
man, this brings back so many childhood memories
- it's not too sweet, it definitely taste like brown sugar - it's a jelly type substance
and you can really taste the red beans in there, which doesnt add to the sweetness at all
but it adds a really good texture to this little dessert
it is delicious, and i'm so happy right now because this reminds me of my childhood -
you cant beat a good put chai ko
[Must-Eat Hong Kong Street Food 2019 #3: 'Daan Tart': Egg Tarts]
Ok this is the egg tart that i've just bought. the special thing about this egg tart is it's
got 368 pastry layers. it's $10 Hong Kong dollars, which i think is a bit more expensive
than all the other ones, but this is the one that i like because it has a flakey crust
and not a baked crust
the crust is so flakey - like you can definitely tell that there are over 300 layers in that crust
surprisingly it hasn't crumbled all over my plate - the actual egg is so smooth and it
is very very creamy please make sure you get an egg tart whenever
you come to Hong Kong; it's like a must get snack
[Must-Eat Hong Kong Street Food 2019 #4 & 5: 'Siu Mai & Yu Daan': Dumpling & Fish ball]
So Siu Mais are essentially fish meat that's been like hit so many, many times, that's
why it's so elasticky and then wrapped in a wonton wrapper. this is different to the
Yum Cha ones, this is fish, the yum cha one is pork.
it's very chewy, i can definitely taste the fish there, it's just typical street siu mai
- i love it Next thing that you definitely have to try
when in Hong Kong is the curry fishball. so this is essentially a fish ball dipped in curry sauce
the flavour of the curry is like overwhelming,
it just covers every other taste. and that's what you're here for - when you have a curry
fish ball, you're really there for the curry
siu mais and curry fishballs are like the main characters of the street food scene in Hong Kong.
if you come to Hong Kong and you want street food, make sure you get siu mais and fishballs.
Must-Eat [Hong Kong Street Food 2019 #7: 'Gai Daan Jai': Eggettes]
This is the food that i am so extremely excited about - this is called 'Gai Daan Jai' which
is called Eggettes in english essentially it's like a western waffle but
with more egg yolk and a bit sweeter as well how you can tell it's a good Gai Daan Jai
is if it's crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.
This is what it looks like -
could you hear that crunch?
this is a really good one - i love this so much
it is delicious - people add like different sauces to it, but for me, i just like it original.
it is impossible to get a good Gai Daan Jai in Australia. and if you ever find one, it's
like 10 times the normal price so whenever i come to Hong Kong, this is something
that i absolutely have to get and that's something that you have to get too
[Hong Kong Street Food 2019 #8: 'Stinky Tofu]
We are about to try the legendary... Stinky Tofu
The smell is actually very, very prominent. i can kind of smell it now. before when we
were a few steps back i couldnt, but it smells a bit like... i don't like how to else to
explain it, it smells like feet.
ok so we have got, the stinky tofu.
um, i think it stinks. and i can't believe i'm about to eat it - i've never had stinky
tofu before, for that exact reason so this is what it looks like
it's fried on the outside, and i think that it is soft on the inside
the smell actually isnt that bad close up, but lets try what it tastes like.
this is what it looks like eating it isn't actually that bad
but there's like a weird aftertaste to it i actually dont think it's that bad.
the smell is not great but the actual taste, it doesn't taste like what it smells
i like how it's really crunchy on the outside and then inside it's quite soft
but then there is a weird after taste - i don't know how to feel about it
you should definitely try for yourself and then let me know how much you like it on a
scale of 1-10. Smells not great, tastes neutral -
that is my final conclusion
as i was walking away i found someone else
who felt more strongly against the smell of stinky tofu -
look at the ground
i promise that wasn't me, that was someone else
mine's still here
and that is it for today - these are the must have street food whenever you visit Hong Kong.
i'll put a link in my description of all the
places i've visited thank you so much for sticking till the end,
i post new videos every Friday so be sure to check them out if you have time, i hope
you have an awesome rest of the day, and i'll see you next Friday
