Hello ladies, I am from Oklahoma City here in the USA. My daughter just moved to Hong Kong about 6 months ago to teach English . I found this video fascinating and very interesting. Thank you. You are delightful.
nice, definitely gonna try them street foods. we are going there on june. hoping to meet you two and tour us around. this video is surely a guide for those traveling to hong kong!
I have no idea how I came across this video but thanks! I can't wait to finally return and visit my childhood place this summer! It's been 6 years since I went back so I'm very excited, especially the food!
+Nicholas Sim you should try tofu pudding and egg tarts if you like desserts or mantis shrimp and steamed fish if you like seafood.... Char sui is delicious too (chinese bbq pork) There's so much awesome food in hk hope you have time to try them all!
Am going to Hong Kong soon, so found this video really interesting to watch.. I live in the Philippines so it's a short flight for me.. Thanks for the share, a really excellent video... Carl
+Mark Reinert You'll love HK. It's a great city! If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at explore@samthelocal.com and we can share some tips and ideas with you as well!
This is a really cute video 😊 I’m currently studying in Hong Kong but I’m originally from England, and I’ve tried a few of these foods! Egg waffles (or egg puffs as I’ve heard them be called) are really delicious! Curried fish balls are also one of my favourites 👍 thank you for the video ladies, don’t understand why so many people are being rude in the comment section! x
This was a really cool video & sometimes very funny also. I'm travelling to Hong Kong *tomorrow* from London, so looking forward to trying some of these foods. The only problem I had with this video is that it made me HUNGRY!!!! LOL. Thanks -glad I watched it before dinner!!
We've definitely heard it before. Some people re-watch and then get hungry again! If you're here in Hong Kong, and interested, you can book one of our locals to show you street food or other yummy foods, activities in Hong Kong. You get to hear some interesting stories about the sites you see. :) Hope you enjoy your trip! www.samthelocal.com/locals
Hi, Your video is very good and the street food look very tasty. I'm going to Hong Kong in one week and I really want to go to Mong Kok Market. So this is really good to know. You girls are natural and funny that makes the video even better. I wanna try the food at once, it looks so new and different of what I'm used to. I'm live in Sweden. Do you have any film clip how the subway looks like? It would be interesting to see. I have liked the video and subscribed to your channel.
Great to hear that you are coming to Hong Kong and we are glad that you enjoyed. To make your experience easier, you can book one of our locals (who speak many languages), to show you the city and share the stories. Feel free to visit www.samthelocal.com/locals or contact us at explore@samthelocal.com if you have any questions. Hope you have a wonderful time in the city!
Oh that last shop selling sugarcane juice! Go for their coconut milkshake instead of sugarcane. That shop is the only one that sells it and it tastes sooo gooood!!
+RavenHeadInn Wonder how the street food has changed since the '80s! Maybe you can experiment and make your own street food...or alternatively you can fly here for some food and exploring. :)
Sam the Local Yeh,its all changed now ... no Tamar anymore etc I used to live in the flats next to Happy Valley Race Track. So many awesome memorys , especially the food :)
Hong Kong reminded me of my lactose intolerance, they put condensed milk in all flour and sweet products when I lived there more than 50 year ago. I missed the roast goose most.
At least there is no lactose products in the roast goose! There are alternative options and a wide variety of snacks that you will likely find something that works for you, such as sugar cane juice, pineapple buns, and Chinese herbal jelly.
Thank god that you girls is not as annoying as the others I seen on TH-cam, it is actually good presentation, my god, I do miss those street food stalls like crazy, thanks ladies, keep up the good work..or good food.
Thanks and we're glad you enjoyed our video! Def some good street food around if you find the right ones! You can also follow along with us on Periscope @samthelocal for more videos :)
There's so much to eat and do. There's also more varieties and places that street food is offered. We have Locals who know about some good street good in places like Tai Po (for example: www.samthelocal.com/locals/josephz), that are not found elsewhere, or they find taste better than others. Let us know if you are interested or if you have any questions.
I have something to add to the egg waffle their is a normal waffles as well, its like a sandwich waffle as the bread peanut butter for the inside . And their is more if I see any new ones I would comment again if you like :D
Ah yes. The waffle folded in half with the peanut butter, butter, sugar, and condensed milk filling. Those are quite yummy as well! Please share as you come across others you like!
There is a egg that is very small I'm not sure what they are called but you can find them in places where they cook potatoes I am not sure if they are street food but I find them in the streets
Haha I live in the UK and I visited Hong Kong back in July... Watched this video and I ended up trying cuttlefish and egg waffles which were both so good. Stayed on MacDonnell Road in Central which was a fantastic location- so easy to get around. Miss Hong Kong so much now though. Definitely my favourite place in the World.
The rice rolls aren't always obvious since they are usually covered. People sometimes stand around with plates and poking at them with skewer sticks, or eating them out of paper bags. Glad you enjoyed the video!
sui mai and fish balls are everywhere. i've never tried the stinky tofu and don't really have the desire to. they had fresh tofu fa and fresh hot roasted chestnuts sold in food carts when i was in hk years ago but you said hk eliminated food carts which is a shame. hope they found a stall. love the sugar cane drink, egglets, and the squid with hoisin and chilli sauce. i still remember having squid when i was a kid. relatives would get me white sugar cake when i was a kid. love the stuff.
You must have come in the winter if you saw the fresh, hot roasted chestnuts. They are still around in the winter. They're technically illegal, but they're around. You may come across them as you walk around. The fresh tofu fa is still sold in some shops. We see them less frequently on the street carts though. There are so many other kinds of street food that we didn't get to include, such as noodles in a bag, fried chicken drumsticks, takoyaki balls, etc. Too much to get through!
Okay, so I have watched this video various times now, and I have now only noticed at 0:16 seconds in there is basically a dirty poster lol xD it was mildly amusing!
Love this video! So much information I had to watch again! I would like to hear some native language included. Especially on how to order these street foods. Do we just point and nod? Thank goodness for google translate !
You can try to point and nod. Alternatively, you could have one of our Locals take you to explain some of the other items and order, and show you their favorite spots! samthelocal.com/locals/
We've had people tell us that each time they watch it, they would have to run out and get some street food, or the most similar thing they could find to it! You're right. Be careful when you watch it. Food shops around you better be open!
That would be interesting. Will keep that in mind. Are there particular foods that come to mind or you just want to learn about what people eat during festivals?
HK street food is awesome. I miss it a lot, especially cheung Fun and fish balls. What street in MongKok is that street vendor located? Next time when I go to HK, I will definitely go there.
It's on Dundas Street. Everything we tried was yummy. Since you enjoyed our food post, you may enjoy our blog post on pineapple buns! samthelocal.com/hong-konnovation-pineapple-buns-菠蘿包/
Is it close to the MongKok train street? How many blocks away from MongKok train station are Dundas Street. I left Hong Kong when I was very small, I don't really know which street is which anymore.
If you take the MTR, it is 3 blocks from Mong Kok Station E2 exit. If you are interested in trying street food, and seeing how the city and food scene has changed, you may book an experience with one of our locals to take you on a customized, private experience, then you get to try all the stuff you want without getting lost! :D
As much as I agree with Mong Kok being great for street food, please get the ferry to Cheung Chau island for fish balls, it is well known for that and it's mango mochi. Both of these are amazing
Yes, we've tried both and they're great! Fortunate to have some shops around who sell the mango mochi so we don't always have to go to Cheung Chau to get them when the cravings strike!
Baked buns are usually sold in bakeries, which you can stop into. There are some bakeries and shops that have a kiosk where you can buy the baked goods from, which could include egg tarts, cocktail buns, BBQ pork buns...
Dundas Street in Mong Kok has a lot of these places! Do let us know if you would let one of our Local insiders to show you to these places and other great food spots and activities, such as hiking, history walks, tai chi, martial arts, and hearing about local stories. :)
Hong Kong has a very wide range of food, from cheap street food to Michelin-starred restaurants. This can cost you anywhere from US$0.50 to US$500. There is something for everyone here!
+Gunman1628 We are from California. Love living in Hong Kong now! Hence, we started Sam the Local so we can allow people to discover unique activities by having a platform of curated people that have been vetted by our team to show people around Hong Kong for customized experiences.
Many of them can be found on Dundas Street in Mong Kok. If you would like one of our Locals to show you to other great food options and seeing/hearing more stories about Hong Kong, visit www.samthelocal.com/locals to book your own private, customized experience.
Hope that it helps you! If you are are curious about other foods, here is some info from our blog: Nearly extinct foods: bit.ly/nearlyextinctfoods Eggettes: bit.ly/StLeggettes Milk tea: bit.ly/HKteatime Pineapple buns: bit.ly/HKbuns
In certain districts, English will be fine, and in some areas locals only speak Cantonese. In this case, it depends what you are trying to do. If you are ordering food and the menu has pictures you can point. That's also the reason we have the Sam the Local platform. You may book locals to take you on customized experiences. They can show you the places to go, you can hear their stories (as they also speak English) and they can help you order/translate and you would also know what's good!
+Areana Angel Great that the items can be found near you! We used to live in the U.S. and did get to try many of the different items there too. We're only scratching the surface of all the plentiful items! There is also something really special and convenient when its served as street food and seeing all the people that grab it as a snack on-the-go and after school.
Yes! If that's the case, you should definitely keep an eye out for the video we have coming out next week! Also, visit us at www.samthelocal.com to learn more about HK and what we do!
We've had some friends visit who have stayed in some different areas in the city. Maybe shoot us an email at explore@samthelocal.com and we could try to recommend something based on your preferences :)
Hello I'm doing a project on introducing Hong Kong and I find your video very informative and attractive. May I quote part of your video in my project? I guarantee it's not for business purpose😊
You can try Dundas Street in Mong Kok. If you want to be taken to specific food spots and find our local insiders' favorites, feel free to book one of our locals at www.samthelocal.com for your own private and customized experience!

Thanks for the speedy reply. I will try the food when I visit Hong Kong next week.
+Nicholas Sim Let us know if you have any other questions at explore@samthelocal.com :)
+Nicholas Sim you should try tofu pudding and egg tarts if you like desserts or mantis shrimp and steamed fish if you like seafood.... Char sui is delicious too (chinese bbq pork)
There's so much awesome food in hk hope you have time to try them all!
guys the Gai Dan Zai (Eggetes) is literally a MUST TRY it's so goooood
Yes! Quite some good spots around! Did you see our video on how they are made?
0:36 "toys"
Am going to Hong Kong soon, so found this video really interesting to watch.. I live in the Philippines so it's a short flight for me.. Thanks for the share, a really excellent video... Carl
Great and interesting Video. Planning a trip to Hong Kong. Can't wait to try some Street food there.
+Mark Reinert You'll love HK. It's a great city! If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at explore@samthelocal.com and we can share some tips and ideas with you as well!

Glad that you liked it! Check out our blog at www.samthelocal.com/blog-2 for info on food in Hong Kong and other interesting facts!

Oh that last shop selling sugarcane juice! Go for their coconut milkshake instead of sugarcane. That shop is the only one that sells it and it tastes sooo gooood!!
Grew up in HK in the '80s , I so miss the street food ... cant get anything like it here in Scotland :( really need to go back. Thanks for the video.
+RavenHeadInn Wonder how the street food has changed since the '80s! Maybe you can experiment and make your own street food...or alternatively you can fly here for some food and exploring. :)

I leave in HK and everything you showed I tried! Plus I live in Monk Kok so I've been to all the places you been! is so awesome!!!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed and they are things you would recommend also.
What other street foods do you like?
I have something to add to the egg waffle their is a normal waffles as well, its like a sandwich waffle as the bread peanut butter for the inside . And their is more if I see any new ones I would comment again if you like :D
Ah yes. The waffle folded in half with the peanut butter, butter, sugar, and condensed milk filling. Those are quite yummy as well! Please share as you come across others you like!
There is a egg that is very small I'm not sure what they are called but you can find them in places where they cook potatoes I am not sure if they are street food but I find them in the streets
The brown spotted ones are quail eggs. They are in carts around Hong Kong during winter time. The stands also sell sweet potatoes and chestnuts.
I love honhkong lots of street food so yummy my new friend here
Haha I live in the UK and I visited Hong Kong back in July... Watched this video and I ended up trying cuttlefish and egg waffles which were both so good. Stayed on MacDonnell Road in Central which was a fantastic location- so easy to get around. Miss Hong Kong so much now though. Definitely my favourite place in the World.
Glad you got to try some new snacks. Just make plans to come back to Hong Kong again. Let us know if you will be back or friends coming who want tips!
I so wanna come to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan. Those are my dream destinations.
It's a place worth going. And from personal experience Taiwan and Japan are great places as well. Super good food in all places!
Have tried the siu mai and the egg waffle... wish I had seen the rice rolls! Will get those next trip for sure. Great video ladies. :-)
The rice rolls aren't always obvious since they are usually covered. People sometimes stand around with plates and poking at them with skewer sticks, or eating them out of paper bags. Glad you enjoyed the video!

There are so many other kinds of street food that we didn't get to include, such as noodles in a bag, fried chicken drumsticks, takoyaki balls, etc. Too much to get through!
A video about the local crafts and quality gifts would be good :)
Will keep it in mind!
The fried intestine is the best. Always put sweet hoisin sauce and mustard on it. Tastes even better!
They are quite unique snacks and surprised us too!
in Cambodia, sugarcane juice cost only 0.50 usd for big glass. it seem much different between Cambodia and Hong Kong.
In Bangladesh that costs 0.12 USD
Hong Kong rent is quite expensive. Many of these shops make up for this difference through the amount they charge for the product.
You girls are brave, I couldn't bring myself to try the tentacles when I was there, you made it look pretty good though, maybe next time 😀
Some of the things are worth trying once. The tentacles are pretty good, despite how they look!
Okay, so I have watched this video various times now, and I have now only noticed at 0:16 seconds in there is basically a dirty poster lol xD it was mildly amusing!
A lottttttt of random posters around Mong Kok.
And that is what makes the area what it is! :)
Love this video! So much information I had to watch again! I would like to hear some native language included. Especially on how to order these street foods. Do we just point and nod? Thank goodness for google translate !
You can try to point and nod. Alternatively, you could have one of our Locals take you to explain some of the other items and order, and show you their favorite spots! samthelocal.com/locals/
And lkk is our favourite eggettes :) you gals should try it!
+Ollie Umma One of our favorites too! Just the right amount of crispiness on the outside and perfect amount of chewiness on the inside!
Sooo delicious 😊😊 i hope this pandemic will stop. I want to visit honkong😢
i am a hong konger你好我是香港人(hi i am a hong kong people)i tried street cuz they are good n my fav is siu mai with soil
Tai po and Yeung long (mainly Tai po) are really good with street foods...
Thanks
Don't watch this on an empty stomach lol. Those fish balls are a MUST!
We've had people tell us that each time they watch it, they would have to run out and get some street food, or the most similar thing they could find to it! You're right. Be careful when you watch it. Food shops around you better be open!
We have one decent place for those fish balls here but miss that you can basically get great tasting ones almost everywhere in HK!
That means it's time to return for all the food!
Looks good. What kind of fish its made from?
good job! if possible, please do a second part. perhaps, one vdo of food items for different festivals.
That would be interesting. Will keep that in mind. Are there particular foods that come to mind or you just want to learn about what people eat during festivals?
Mongkok is seriously my favourite place in hong Kong.
It definitely has a lot of different things to see and eat.
great video going to hong kong next year so these are some good tips
Lmao her chew at 5:57 didn’t convince me
HAHAHA
It's impossible to find it in US and Canada like this way... I like to travel to HK for the street food.
Great video. What street in mongkok did you go to get those yummy food?
It's over a few different streets, but this is Dundas Street.
Yesss! can't wait for the next video .Loved it !
+Justo Cascante It's coming soon!! Did you check out the clues on our Facebook and Instagram on what the theme of the next video will be?
HK street food is awesome. I miss it a lot, especially cheung Fun and fish balls. What street in MongKok is that street vendor located? Next time when I go to HK, I will definitely go there.

nice review sam the local :) love your video
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it! Check out more of our content and stories about Hong Kong on our blog at www.samthelocal.com/blog-2
As much as I agree with Mong Kok being great for street food, please get the ferry to Cheung Chau island for fish balls, it is well known for that and it's mango mochi. Both of these are amazing
Yes, we've tried both and they're great! Fortunate to have some shops around who sell the mango mochi so we don't always have to go to Cheung Chau to get them when the cravings strike!
mmmmm I really want to try those tentacles on a stick now! Loved the egg balls :) great video!
+Carly Starr Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! :D
Apart from eggettes and pineapple bun, are there other baked buns or pastries sold on streets?
Baked buns are usually sold in bakeries, which you can stop into. There are some bakeries and shops that have a kiosk where you can buy the baked goods from, which could include egg tarts, cocktail buns, BBQ pork buns...
doing another one of these videos as a project. thanks!
still hungry
“It would remind you of childhood”
this is great, thanks for sharing! i'd like to know the exact locations (street names) of this please. thanks again! :)
Dundas Street in Mong Kok has a lot of these places!
Do let us know if you would let one of our Local insiders to show you to these places and other great food spots and activities, such as hiking, history walks, tai chi, martial arts, and hearing about local stories. :)
How much do spend for food hongkong?
Hong Kong has a very wide range of food, from cheap street food to Michelin-starred restaurants. This can cost you anywhere from US$0.50 to US$500. There is something for everyone here!
Very well done video.
great vid. Where in the US did you guys live? i would like my ABC kids to visit where i was born someday

We're glad you enjoyed it. Hope you were able to discover new foods that you can try when you see them around Hong Kong.
Street food is amazing in Hong Kong ! Actually, any kind of food is amazing in Hong Kong!
Agreed!
are these found on hk island side as well instead of kowloon side?
hahahahaha so funny. seriously, i thought you guys gonna describe every type of food with the word: "CHEWY" hahahahahahah
Well, a lot of the food is about texture...and sometimes it's hard to explain the differences... :P
it is so expensive, but here in the philippines, you could actually have 7 sticks of that pork intestine
Yea expensive rent in HK :/
Hi may i know the Eggettes stalk is in where? mong kok? which streets? thanks in advance.
They're in a lots of places. Definitely some in Mongkok. Look for where there are street food stalls :)
Hong Kong food is very much better than Singapore food. The preparation and serving portion is awesome.
Glad you enjoy Hong Kong food. Each have their own perks and different types of food. :)

+Joey Herbz Thanks!

Thanks for the tips! Can't wait to try those eggettes haha.
No problem! Let us know if you are looking for more tips!!
How about the best ways to communicate with locals without much (if any) experience with the language
In certain districts, English will be fine, and in some areas locals only speak Cantonese. In this case, it depends what you are trying to do. If you are ordering food and the menu has pictures you can point. That's also the reason we have the Sam the Local platform. You may book locals to take you on customized experiences. They can show you the places to go, you can hear their stories (as they also speak English) and they can help you order/translate and you would also know what's good!
The Eggeuttes are nice, this Chinese restraunt I go in England to sells them and they are delicious!
There are so many varieties you can try in Hong Kong too!
Now, I am starving.
It's never too late for a snack ;)
Im going there this November. Is it cold there?
It depends where you are comparing the temperature to. So far the past week has been 21-27 degrees Celsius.
Sam the Local A
OMG! i should have seen this video before :O I passed thousand times in front of this place in Mong Kok
+Carles González Yea, sometimes it's unexpected. These places appear unassuming. That's why you need a Local to show you around!
around 1:25 when I heard the music that came on I instantly thought of #tabieats
i used to eat 雞蛋仔 so much when i was a kid that i’m kind of sick of it lol
We didn't think it would be possible to get sick of it!
very good information.
Glad you liked it. Also visit our site at www.samthelocal.com for more interesting information on our blog!
I was here 3 weeks ago , amazing food 🙌🏾
Hong Kong definitely has quite the variety in food, and we agree!
i live in u.s and we have all of those things here in cantonese cafes minus the pig intestines and octopus
+Areana Angel Great that the items can be found near you! We used to live in the U.S. and did get to try many of the different items there too. We're only scratching the surface of all the plentiful items! There is also something really special and convenient when its served as street food and seeing all the people that grab it as a snack on-the-go and after school.
i am in hk right now i am going to mong kok tonight at 6

Adarna Mondragon mainly it is because it’s surrounded by ocean but there is al lot of great restaurants all over hong kong
Hi, what would you recommend for a nice and affordable place to stay there in HK
We've had some friends visit who have stayed in some different areas in the city. Maybe shoot us an email at explore@samthelocal.com and we could try to recommend something based on your preferences :)

Hello I'm doing a project on introducing Hong Kong and I find your video very informative and attractive. May I quote part of your video in my project? I guarantee it's not for business purpose😊
That's fine with us. If it's public, feel free to share with us after at explore@samthelocal.com
