Back for more clean and tasty street snacks at The Lobintan

As I was in the area, I stopped by for more snacks.
The fishballs were big, soft and springy and the Chinese radishes were sweet.

Then I tried the peppery balls which were made with stomach and it was surprisingly tasty because it tasted like Vietnamese sausage meat.

For drinks I had the honey Chrysanthemum tea which was sweet and good for dry throats.

I didn't try this but my friend said it was nice and chewy just like mochi covered in spicy sauce paired with crispy pieces of fried chicken.

Fish shaomai with wood ear fungus at Original taste

Again, I was waiting in the area for other foodies to go to a tasting when I spotted the fish shao mai with wood ear fungus at Original Taste Workshop.

It said $10 for members but I was also able to get them for $10.

It was good that they had a variety of sauces and not just the standard soy sauce, chili oil that you find at local convenience stores.

Fish Shaomai with wood ear fungus:

The shaomais were tasteless but since there were lots of sauces, it helped to enhance the taste and the wood ear fungus gave it a nice mouthfeel and crunch.
On the poster, there was also shittake mushrooms in it but I could not taste them.

Deep fried Shao mai @ 東門町

東門町 (Tseung Kwan O)

This joint sells spicy noodles and snacks.

Their first branch was opened in Kwai Hing and now they have just expanded from the West side of Hong Kong to the East side of Hong Kong at EastPoint City.

I opted for the deep fried shao mai because the rest of the food items were spicy.

There was a choice of honey or salt and pepper to go with the shao mai.

Deep fried siumai:

The outside of the siumai was nice and crispy and the inside was soft.

The suimai was not too salty and complemented nicely with the salt and pepper.
It would be great if there was ketchup or vinegar for dipping.

The blackest vinegar pork trotters!!

Restaurant: 順德魚鄉米粉麵米線 (San Po Kong)

I was intending to dine at the famous Tak Lung Restaurant round the corner but it was packed with people so gave up and dined here.

From the name of the joint I assumed they were famous for noodles but at the front they claim their pork trotters in vinegar sauce was also good too so I tried that.


The joint is quite small but there were lots of interesting items on the menu such as the deep fried shaomai with salt and pepper so I tried that as well.

Porks trotter in vinegar served with rice:





When they came I was quite shocked by the colour. I have never seen BLACK vinegar sauce!
It was almost as black as squid ink!


The vinegar they used tasted really nice and it was good quality as claimed.
It was not too sweet and vinegary that I kept sipping spoonfuls of it, and the pork trotters were marinated well in this vinegar.
The texture of the pork trotter were extremely gelatinous and chewy, and the sauce tasted perfect with rice.

Deep fried fish shaomai with salt and pepper:





The deep fried fish shaomai with salt and pepper was interesting so ordered it!
I thought it was shaomai tossed in salt and pepper but when it came it was deep fried shaomai sprinkled with salt and pepper.


The taste was quite nice but the salt and pepper was clumped together so the taste of salt and pepper was not evenly distributed.

Chicken wings in vinegar:


The chicken wings did not taste as nice as the pork trotters because they were not pre-marinated.
The tofu pieces were panfried and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and tasted nice when it was dipped with the salt and pepper from the Shaomai dish.
