Fast Food in HK


Street food is the traditional "fast food" in HK and so last weekend Darryl and I walked around Mong Kok and sampled a few items. Darryl tried the bacon wrapped mushrooms, and I had the less daring rice pancake.

But I am obsessed with the American style fast food here. I think its because they are obsessed with promotions here. (Currently there's a Hello Kitty promotion at McDonald's that's out of control. Photos coming soon.) So there's also a few photos here of the gimicks that are supposed to attract you and pull you into the restaurant.

And lastly, it wouldn't be summer without the ice cream truck...

Inoki mushrooms wrapped with bacon
Mochi type pancakes stuffed with red bean or peanut
Octopus
Pigs intestine
Reminds me of the jelly Starbucks I had in Singapore
McDonald's promotion: Shake Shake Fries...
basically fries with furukake
HK ice cream truck
