1. 1000- Year Old Eggs
If you can brave a thousand-year old egg, you can consider yourself an honorary Hong Konger – these things are potent. Made from duck or quail eggs, the eggs are buried in a clay, sand and salt mixture for a couple of months, melting their insides to jelly.
The eggs can be picked up whole from street vendors around the city, or found sliced up in noodle dishes... Enjoy your meal !
One of Hong Kong’s most popular food, Bird’s Nest Soup is a gelatinous mix of chicken broth and swiftlet’s (a type of bird) saliva!
Exactly, you’re eating swiftlet's spit. Swiftlets make their nests from saliva and each year, after the bird has left the nest, it’s harvested and added to the soup, which, is prized for its health benefits.
Your biggest obstacle here is the appearance, these wrinkled, claw like chicken feet look like something from a witches cauldron.
Luckily, they taste bet ter than anything else the wicked witch could cook up, if a little crunchy.
The snake soup is considered as a gourmet dish in HK. Usually delivered chilled or frozen from China, some HK restaurants prefer to have it fresh, which means braving the handful of live snake restaurants that still exist in Kowloon.
Here, you choose your favourite python or cobra from behind a cage and watch him slither to the chopping block. The soup comes with the snake shredded inside, although, if you’re braver, you can try sliced snake in a host of other dishes. As it seems with almost all exotic meats, many say it tastes like chicken...
You’d think Sea Slug would be slimy and slightly rubbery and you’d be right. But the Sea Slug definitely doesn't taste like chicken.
Beginners should try it fried, which takes away some of the slippery texture, on a bed of noodles or rice with an accompanying sauce.
