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...
