Tikim67: Don't miss the Local Streetfood in Hong Kong

When you are already in Hong Kong, don't forget to snack on some authentic local street food! You can just find them anyway but I ate mine in 2-3 stalls in Causeway Bay. Here is my list of what streetfood to eat!

1.Siumai, these are fish dumplings and they cost HKD12.00 for about a dozen. If you are a spice fan then go for the spicy sauce, I have to drink yakult after because it's too spicy for me but I like it! 
Siumai
That's the spicy sauce
2. Hong Kong egg pancakes are round that looks like a flat beehive. It has a crunchy skin and soft bread when you bite on to it. I didn't know that they now offer chocolate and mocha flavored pancakes! I got the half chocolate-original. This snack costs HKD12.00.
check out the various flavors
Best eaten when warm
3. I also tried the their version of a waffle. I like it because they put some peanut butter filling and some sort of syrup that makes the waffle tastes crunchy and sweet! I bet peanut butter sandwich fans will love eating this! Also, this snack costs HKD12.00
Sorry no other picture of the waffle I was too eager to eat it
4. Lastly, I tried their Takoyaki for the first time. Their octopus balls were big  and the sauce and seaweed were generous! Again, only HKD12.00!

Tikim11: Siomai at Chocfull of nuts (Greenhills, San Juan)

Chocfull of Nuts
Tasty with toyomansi
Walking and shopping around Greenhills can be quite a challenge. It does not stop in finding a parking slot. So when your stomach starts to growl, tame the beast inside with some siomai of Chocfull of nuts!
I suggest you head to the Shoppesville area, 2nd level near Kamiseta, and order some home-made siomai ^.^

I love the siomai here. It's homemade, steamed fresh, not full of pork fats, and I think there is not a hint of MSG in it. To top that of, the price is good; 3 pieces for only 39php! When you put some toyomansi (soy sauce + calamansi) on your siomai, the combination is perfect ---hot siomai with a bit of saltiness and sour elements from
the calamansi!

By the way, the kiosk is also known for its cuapao's; my mom likes to take out those so it must be good!



Taste 4/5
Price 4/5
Ambiance 3/5
