Where Have I Been?? Away in Hong Kong

HELLO! I am back! It has been 2 weeks and  I really missed my dear blogger-mates! Been busy with work in Hong Kong and I guess I owe you guys some interesting photos... of course related to food... what else :)

Always too tired to think what to eat after work and most of the time ended up grabbing some fast food along the way back to my hotel. One of the most visited was the "Dipping"  Food Store. They serve varieties of fish balls, meat balls, stomach, octopus etc etc in skewers which you can dip them into spicy curry sauce or plain soup. Fish balls in curry sauce being my favorite.


They are usually open up to midnight and day to day they serve slight variation of fresh meats  or seafood that they can find from the local market. The soup or the sauce actually dictate how good is the food. The owner (man in the photo on the left ) has been appearing in the TV for one of the best street food stall.


For those who like more flavors in their food, you can always add mustard, chili sauce or sweet soy sauce provided. Try it if you haven't or when you are visiting Hong Kong.  You will like the authenticity.

Promise I will cook or bake something within this week :)

Fancy Some Exotic Snacks ? Crispy Star Fish

Always love starfish because of it distinctiveness - like stars in the ocean. Never thought of eating it like seafood until my visit to China. At first glance from far I was mistaken it as an ornament / souvenir / toy for sale but never a street snack!

When I was closer to the stall, there were actually people snacking on them. Its crunchy on the outer and soft inside - it taste like crab meat according to the man snacking on it. He also added smaller is tastier as the shell is thinner and crunchier.

Interested to know the recipe? The guy selling it claimed that what you need is just a couple of fresh starfish. Just add some salt, pepper and flour then dip in to the pipping hot oil until golden. It's that simple! Do you have the gut to try it? Enjoy!
