Spd3159 Food Chung Kee Dessert (松記糖水)

Hong Kong has too many dessert stalls, such as, Hong Kong Honeymoon Dessert(滿記), Lucky Dessert(發記), Hui Lau Shan Healthy Dessert (許留山)and so on. I think most of you had heard above dessert stalls. Therefore, I would like to introduce you Chung Kee Dessert (松記糖水) to all of you.

Chung Kee Dessert established in 1991. The first stall is established in 芝麻糊), Douhua(豆腐花), Red bean soup(紅豆沙), Peanut paste soup (花生糊)and Sweet potato soup (番薯糖水)etc. However, besides those dessert, they are also have many emerging dessert such as Black Pearl (黑珍珠), Sai mai lo (西米露), water chestnut (馬蹄露) etc. I am highly recommended to try it.

SPD3159 SPD 3159 Chinken Hot Pot(雞煲)

We have introduced many Hong Kong foods already. All of them are very delicious, and famous. But those of the food you can found it in Hong Kong guide. This time, I am going to introduce some food which you may not found in and guide book --Chicken hot pot.

Chicken hot pot cannot be named as famous in Hong Kong. But it doesn’t mean it is not delicious.

Chicken hot pot is a pot which contain chicken and spice like onion ,coriander(芫茜),ginger ,chili etc. The way the mix with the ingredient is perfect. Of course, only this ingredient cannot mix such a good taste of the chicken hot pot. I believe they have their own secret to adjust the taste.

  

Chicken hot pot doesn’t like traditional hot pot, when it served on the table; the chicken is already place in the pot. When the soup in the pot is boiled, you can add more additional side dishes in the pot, like beef, vegetable, noodles. You can add everything whatever you like.

This is the menu of the shop

For me, I like to add noodles in to the pot. Because the sauce is the spirit of the chicken hot pot, after the noodles absorb the sauce of the chicken and spice, it becomes the most delicious food in the pot.       

This is the address of the shop

SPD3159 SPD 3159 Egg Tart (港式蛋撻)

In Hong Kong you can find egg tart in many places, like bakery, restaurant, Chinese tea house. Egg tart really is a common food of Hong Kong people. People usually treat it as a breakfast or snack in tea time.

Originally, all egg tart pastry is made of shortcrust pastry.The texture of shortbread pastry(餅皮麵團) is very savory, just like a cookie. Later on, some bakeries and restaurants change to use puff pastry(酥皮麵團). Which is crisper and look elegant. But puff pastry egg tart still can not dominate the market. Because shortcrust pastry egg tart still has a lot of loyalty fans .Like me =]

shortcrust pastry egg tart (餅皮蛋撻)

  puff pastry egg tart(酥皮蛋撻)

One of my favorite egg tart is come from Tai Cheong Bakery(泰昌餅家).This is a very popular bakery,because the former Governor of Hong Kong Christopher Francis Patten like the egg tart from this bakery very much.

The egg tart in this shop is really tasty.Every time I eat it is very hot. The texture of the pastry is crispy. The smell of the egg is very sweet. And the portion of the egg and pastry is perfect.

 

There are many branches of this bakery. You can easy to find it. But in my experience, egg tart in head-quarter of Central is the tastiest one. This is the address of the Central head-quarter.

When we smell the roasted along the street with a dry wind. We will know,Yes!  autumn is coming."

Roasted chestnut which is commonly available during Autumn and Winter. Since Autumn is the best season for harvesting chestnut.

The  chestnut cart stall is the traditional style in making roasted chestnut. It is a really good snack in winter because those chestnuts are very warm and u can use it to warm your body.

There tends to have mre electronic roasted chestnut machine, however, you can't taste the traditional/ original taste of it.

Some chestnut carts may features with cooked peanuts, sweet tomato and so on. We strongly recommend to have a try of the sweet potato

there is a one cart located in the intersection between Nathan road and Lai Chi Kok Road, outside KEI WING Primary school.
