Curry Fish Ball Stalls (Mong Kok)

Curry Fish Ball Stalls in Mong Kok serve Hong Kong's most democratic street food: bouncy fish balls skewered and simmered in a spiced curry sauce, sold from dai pai dongs on Dundas and Portland Streets from early afternoon. With a price as low as HKD 10 per skewer, they are 50% cheaper than the typical cha chaan teng main course at #12 Sammy's Kitchen, yet deliver twice the cultural authenticity per bite. Every visitor should make this mandatory first stop; the stalls' simplicity and bold flavor outclass the more elaborate offerings of #11 Kwan Kee Store in immediate gratification.
