Street Food: Hong Kong v/s Mumbai. Part 2

Alright, so I had to split the food section into two parts because there is way too much food to write about. I may sound like a glutton, but that is what you get when you’re from Hong Kong.

Apart from the three dishes I mentioned earlier there are so many more choices to choose from. A person could seriously go bonkers in Hong Kong trying to decide what food to eat. Some of the more popular choices to choose from are:

Warning: Please keep the previous warning in mind!

·        Chinese Fried Sausage (yummy!)

·        Shark Fin Soup (yummy, but very controversial)

·        Pig’s liver and intestines (tried it, but never again!)

·        Squid, Octopus and Lobster (quite appetizing)

 Yes, the above mentioned items might make you puke your guts out but they are probably the yummiest things I have eaten in my life. Now, we move onto food in Mumbai, in my eyes, India’s food capital. When I arrived in Mumbai I was too paranoid to eat anything from the roads and even from the College canteen. However, within a year I have become accustomed to street food in Mumbai, all the credit going to my friends from college.

One dish I just can’t seem the get enough of is Samosa Pav. It is a piece of bread, with a little bit of mint sauce (Chutney) and a Samosa stuffed inside. I can probably eat 4 and still not be stuffed (I repeat I am not a glutton and nor do I suffer from an eating disorder.) Apart from Samosa Pav, another dish I enjoy eating is Pav Bhaji, a curried vegetable dish accompanied with bread.

Food! Food! Food! Food! This has by far been my favorite post!

Verdict: Hong Kong would be my winner, hands down, regardless of how amazing Mumbai’s street food can be.
