I was really amazed at the wide range of different foods and ingredients on display in Hong Kong. Everywhere you looked there were different markets and stands selling all kinds of exotic and not so exotic fruits, vegetables, and meats.
On our first day in Hong Kong we found this little Vietnamese place right by our hotel that had good, cheap, food and friendly service we quickly made it our own and had breakfast there everyday, trying out the menu.
After eating our fill of pork cheeks, Viet sausage, and rice we would head out for the day, stopping at various times to sample fresh fruit and other delicacies like this incredibly moist pork that was served over rice.
I did not eat anything really weird and made it through my entire time in Hong Kong without ever tasting dim sum, but it was a lot of fun to eat our way through the culinary mishmash that is Hong Kong cuisine.
For me the best meal that I had was in the night market where there were trays of seafood set out to pick from. After hemming and hawing over the huge shrimp, scallops, and many kinds of fish I choose little clams with chili paste and Greg got scallops. We had this with a huge plate of fried rice and ice cold San Miguel beer, totally awesome, especially when eaten out on the street amongst all the people shopping and sweating in the Hong Kong heat.
