Food!

Hong Kong is a mix of many different cultures and traditions, and that is definitely reflected in the local cuisine! I've had so much great food in Hong Kong and I wanted to share some pictures of my favorites. I had a lot of different kinds of noodles and tea, and got pretty good at using chopsticks! But my favorite was definitely the mango dessert and the food from the street vendors by Lingnan. Here's some of what I tried:
  

pork noodles and tofu


the seafood was great too!

mango seaweed roll with a mango sago drink


lemon tea and spicy noodles

mango and strawberry desserts

mango aloe drinks

I ate a baby octopus!!

tofu, mushrooms, and noodles

sweet tofu dessert

These kind of egg tart cakes are really popular, and they make a great breakfast!



Chinese tea


flower tea
Dim sum is a famous Cantonese dish made up of small dishes served in steamer baskets like this. These are shrimp dumplings and egg buns.

This is a "hot pot." You get some boiling soup and raw ingredients and can cook and eat as you go. We made spicy tofu, fungus, mushrooms, fish, and pork.
