On April 12, Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam said the government will launch the "Easy Entry to Hong Kong" program in mid-May, allowing mainlanders other than Hong Kong residents to enter Hong Kong without the 14-day compulsory quarantine. After a lapse of a year, I can finally travel to Hong Kong. When you come to Hong Kong, you will definitely want to feast your eyes and taste Hong Kong specialties. Today, I will take you to take stock of the nine must-try street food in Hong Kong.
1. Sugarcane Juice
Before eating fried street food, have a cup of sugarcane juice to clear the heat. Sugarcane juice is usually made to order, made by pressing the steamed sugarcane by machine, and has a refreshing and sweet taste. A large bucket of bamboo cane is often placed outside the stores that sell sugar cane juice, so you can easily find it from a distance!

Second, Stinky tofu
I believe that friends who like stinky tofu will agree that there is nothing more exciting than the pungent smell of stinky tofu. Following the aroma of deep frying, come with a piece of stinky tofu dipped in soy sauce and chili sauce. You should have eaten Changsha stinky tofu. When you arrive in Hong Kong, you might as well try the difference between Hong Kong and Changsha.

The traditional egg waffle only has the original flavor of cream, but in recent years, a variety of innovative flavors have been launched on the market, such as salted egg yolk, chocolate, and even green tea , which are very popular among the public.
