Had to grab breakfast on the way to the bus stop today due to the lack of food at home. Opened the fridge in the morning and saw a couple of slices of plastic cheese (kraft singles), I was going to eat them but my brother reminded me that my uncle leaves a lot of food in his fridge for years.
Walked outside and it was FREEZING, suddenly became cold overnight in HK. Decided to get a few skewers of hot food for breakfast and to warm ourselves up. The long awaited/craved CURRY FISHBALLS and SHAO MAI. Yes on a skewer, a honkie snack.
<-- Yes that's my bro posing for a photo with his Shao Mai. What is shao mai? It pork mince that SHOULD be hand minced with a cleaver or two then wrapped in a wonton wrapper, steamed and SOMETIMES (rarely nowadays) grilled. However the Shao Mai you find at snack stores in HK don't contain much pork, they mix A LOT of flour into the pork mixture. But you can't ask for a full pork Shao Mai for HK$5 (AUD$0.70) a skewer of 5.
<--Guess who. Very hard to see the curry fishballs but it's just 6 small fishballs on a skewer with some curry gravy over them. They cook the fishballs in this curry gravy for forever until someone buys it. Also a lot of flour mixed into the fish balls but still nice to eat. HK$5 for 6 fishballs.
This is another must eat in HK, street snack stores. Especially good in the winter.
