HK Snacks Collection 香港美食: Egg Roll 蛋捲
A kind of sweet biscuits with a strong egg flavour. There are two main kinds of egg roll in HK. Those you find in supermarket, they are usually butter egg roll with a strong butter taste. While those you find in some small old shops on the street or in some tourist spots, they are more tasty as they have less butter and most importantly, they are HANDMADE. So the egg flavour is stronger and the feeling is lighter.
You can grab a pack with about 10 rolls in those small shops for about 20hkd while in supermarket, you can grab a tin box of about 50 rolls for 50hkd.

HK Snacks Collection 香港美食: Pearl Milk Tea 珍珠奶茶
As I have said, Hong Kong is always know as the shopping and food paradise, famous food in other countries will also be available here.
You can now find it everywhere on the street for about $8-20HKD. Lately, this kind of Taiwanese beverages shops are all over HK. Well, hopefully when you come visit, they are still along as HK is also famous for following the trend so if the trend of pearl milk tea is out, you couldn't find them easily.

HK Snacks Collection 香港美食: HK Old Style Sweet Pudding 砵仔糕
HK Old Style Sweet Pudding 砵仔糕 is a very old traditional snacksin Guang Dong. They have two favours. Brown one is made if brown sugar while white one is made with white sugar. You can also choose with or withou red beans in the middle.
The taste is a very simple sweet sugar taste but it is a bit glutinous but smooth. When I was young, you could find this on the street. It must be served warm and with very low price, just a few bucks. But you could hardly see this kind of hawker in HK now. If you are lucky you may see it in some small shops in old area of HK.
You can always grab one of this in most of HK style ''Tea cafe'' 茶餐廳 for about $12-20HKD

HK Snacks Collection 香港美食: HK Style Roasted Meat 燒味
Barbeque (HK people call it 'BBQ') / Roasted pork, ribs, duck are always one of our favourites choices during meals as they can serve together perfectly with rice or noodles or even spagetti in soup.
They all have a common characteristic of crispy skin with a unique sauce. I just know the sauce is made with honey so the Roasted meat skin is a bit sweet while the meat inside is salty and tender. You can feel the mixture of crispy and tender together when you eat them.
There are some restaurants especially selling them or you can also in HK style ''Tea cafe'' 茶餐廳 and some local Cantonese cuisine. The price range is from 30hkd to around a hundred depending on what kind of restaurant you are in.

Hong Kong Market Drawing
An identical local wet market in Hong Kong. I forgot the artist name but his works are definitely gorgeous!
You still see these kinds of old buildings and wet market in Hong Kong nowadays. I think this painting may be depicting North Point in Hong Kong Island. You may like to wander around the North Point Market for some cheap products or fresh food.
