Hopefully we have established that if I am littering the blogosphere with f-bombs, that which is being bombed is really important....and most likely freakishly good to eat. Such is the case of the insanely
and immediately addictive roast chili (or as they prefer "chilli") pork slices from the Bee Cheeng Hiang stand outside the Causeway Bay MTR stop in Hong Kong. Tender with a sweet-spicy glaze, I could eat pounds of them. We had them on our first day and were seriously smitten. We've had them twice since and I am more than a little worried about what my state of mind will be when I am back home in Oregon and they are 7000 miles away. But such are worries for another day, because tomorrow I will be back in line, ready to sell my soul again to the devil that is the Bee Cheeng Hiang chilli pork.A few more favorite street eats from our HK adventure.....
Skewered squid that is boiled and served hot and tastes remarkably, and not to go all cliché, like chicken. FYI- almosrt anything on a skewer and eaten on the HK streets will make you happy!
A container of noodles where you choose your toppings!
Fish ball siu maai...see also shrimp or pork or any combo thereof siu maai
Curried fish balls from my man here in Yung Shue Wan on Lamma Island
The famous Kin Hing Tofu Dessert stand just outside of Yung Shue Won on Lamma Island, which w declared to be among the best ever!Also tried but not photographed were the sweet buns from almost any bakery; an amazing crsipy skinned stuffed intestine skewer; and innumerable other things I know I am missing, dammit!!
