Porky pride

Street-styled golden brown sausages are Mong Kok’s pride and one of the must-munch things in Hong Kong.
When in Japan, grab a bowl of Soba noodles, when in Paris, you say, “fromage croissant s'il vous plait” but when you’re in Hong Kong, there’s this thing that can leave you speechless. Long, glazed and full of juice, this meaty wonder is unlike any other sausage you’ve ever had. Giving the traditional meat-on-a-stick an oriental twist, street vendors offer these well-done sausages dipped in plastic packets full of sauce, so that every bite is as seasoned as the last.

Promising love at first bite, these cylindrical pieces of pork have a thin crispy exterior that bursts with flavour as you sink your teeth in. And this comes as a welcome surprise as you don’t expect them (roadside sausages) to be as flavourful and juicy. But rest your reservations for hygiene and prepare your taste buds for a singularly satisfying experience that will have you licking your fingers.
Whether you’re browsing through goods at the Ladies Market (a night market for clothing, accessories and electronics) or strolling about Kowloon West, these sausages will serve as a delicious option to combat your hunger pangs and would be a convenient munch as you can have them on the go.
