There is no better way to experience a new culture than by diving into the local street food. You get to see what sort of flavors,meats,and cooking styles they use and it’s usually on the cheap. It’s even better if you have a local as a friend to find the best of the best 
On a street corner in Causeway was a vendor selling kebabs with exotic-looking meats and little bowls of shumai and stewed meats. We got some shumai,cheese dogs (little cocktail wieners bursting with cheese), and some barbeque grilled octopus coated with a shacha sauce. If only we had the tummy space to taste everything!
A good complement to the skewers. Hui Lau Shau is a bubble tea chain and they specialize in mango drinks with coconut and red beans. People in Hong Kong loooove their mangoes and they prefer their desserts less sugary.
This was a local family-owned congee place. Lots of regulars here slurping their steaming congee. They also make you tiao (fried Chinese breadstick) served hot and fresh. We tried everything on the menu:salted fish and pork congee,pork congee,you tiao with soy milk,you tiao wrapped with broad noodle,sweet you tiao,and fried noodles. Best breakfast ever!
A Whole Foods-like grocery store at the World Trade Center building where they have a nice eatery downstairs with pre-made dishes and a food court. Sushi and takoyaki –yum!
Dan Tat (Egg custard Tart) and Yuenan buns from a bakery near the Langham Place Hotel in Mongkok. The dan tat was pretty similar to the ones available in NYC Chinatown:biscuit-like crust,bright artificial yellow color,but this one was only 3 yuan (USD $.40)! The yuenan buns were huge and had pork,egg,and mushroom in it.

You brought back one of those bubble teas for me right?
Oh if only…Maybe if they freeze dried it,it wouldn’t be considered perishable contraband! Drats.

I know right? Cheap prices means you can get twice as much
