Hong Kong Chow-down Part 4

Upon our return from Macau, we had a blast trying the famous local brands and food of Hong Kong. It started right after we alighted from our Turbo Jet. Right after the HK immigration gate was a stall of 許留山 (Hui Lau Shan ), a famous dessert brand. This is a bowl of mixed fruit with mango ice shavings. The fruits came in generous portions and were very fresh. Instead of plain ice shavings, the ice shavings was actually mango shavings with a appetizing yellow hue.

This is their famous Mango and Pomelo Dessert. It was slightly sourish, with a tinge of sweetness. One of the praise-worthy traits of HK dessert is that they are not overly sweet. The mango and pomelo combined to complement each other very well.

This set was ordered by Soo Sun to share with Sixian. It is a combo set which comprise of a Mango Pudding, Mango & Pomelo Dessert, Chicken Wings and Mixed Fruit with Coconut Ice Shaving. They both downed everything in a matter of minutes...it must be really good~

After checking in back into our hotel, we headed to Miramar Shopping Centre to get my sister's figurines. On the way, Sixian had marked down this famous snack stall 利強記北角雞蛋仔, which is very highly recommended and boasts long queues.

I was dying to try the 雞蛋仔, which i had never tried before. Here i am, in the queue and observing how they make them.

Here are my 雞蛋仔!! They look like they're made of styrofoam huh? No matter, they are the best tasting item i had during my 6 long days in both HK and Macau. Must-try...but of course don't just buy it from any stall, you need to pick the better stalls. These freshly made 雞蛋仔s are crunchy, and they have hollow centres. They ought to be eaten while it's still warm , while the crisp is still intact.

After enjoying that, i joined the queue again but this time to sample their 咖里鱼蛋. All sorts of balls ( cuttle fish, prawn, fish, beef, pork balls) are all soaked in curry sauce, simmering in this pot. Once an order is placed, the lady strings them into a bunch and pours the thick curry sauce ( in the center two compartments) over the fishballs.

Yumminess~

That night, on our way back from the Waterfront, we walked into a eatery and placed an order for 2 grilled pigeons. We had them on the go, and brought back to our hotel for supper. Pigeons are small, one can be shared by two for supper. It tastes somewhat like duck meat, though.
