Working on the Street - Food

Common scenes on the street in Hung Hom - food related. 


Chopping bones.  Look at the size of that chopper, wielded by a regular-sized lady. 



Dressing up roasted meats.  Pork, chicken, ducks, pigeons, … Quintessentially Hong Kong food - found on the table in the most posh hotels as well as the humblest homes in public housing. 



Serving popular cooked dishes.  Relatively inexpensive way to have a decent meal.  Part of the reason many people, even families, do not cook anymore. 



Selling egg waffles, watched by admirers.  Many childhood treats have disappeared.  This seems to be going strong still.



Roasted chestnuts and yams.  Comfort food for the masses.  My favourites.  



Don’t walk too fast.  You are going to miss the fun on the street.
