First of all, may I save your life from walking back and forth resulting in you sweating and not finding this place, by specifically telling you how to get here. If you're walking from Queens's Road West and upon reaching Queens St, turn right, walk straight on past a residential building, for about 15-20 seconds, stop, look to your right, you should see a sign that says 皇后街1號皇后街熟食市場, if you can't read chinese, look for signs that has cartoon chicken and food on the wall, proceed to find an esca
If you're walking from Queens's Road West and upon reaching Queens St, turn right, walk straight on past a residential building, for about 15-20 seconds, stop, look to your right, you should see a sign that says 皇后街1號皇后街熟食市場, if you can't read chinese, look for signs that has cartoon chicken and food on the wall, proceed to find an escalator. If you see all these, you're there. Go up, enter, walk straight till the end, the stall is at the far left (and might I add, next to ABC kitchen, there, save you another trip!).
So maybe I was stupid, I had to make numerous trip down this area to finally find it on my 3rd attempt.
Second of all, those who have no idea what kind of food this is, it's actually a very simple and basic creation. Flour! A combination of one kind with another, that resulted in a sticky and chewy texture, more like the Korean rice cake, but far more softer.
They had a plethora of snacks on display for purchase. Mostly with sweet stuffing. So what this means is that they have an outer layer of this chewy 'thing', while the inside they have taro filling, or red bean filling, after which you pan fry it to get a crusty texture. It is meant to be a bit oily so don't expect it to be healthy.
I ordered Pan Fried sticky chewy 'thing', to go. Waited for about 5-8 mins. Very happily walked home, so proud of myself for finding it. Heh.
Opened my lunch, and aesthetically, it was mouth watering; you have the sticky chewy sticks, spring onions, eggs, dried preserved vegetable, and it was glistening with oil. HEART ATTACK! but who cares, I'm in HK!
In actual fact, the dish itself has a sweetness to it, and only a tint of saltiness, so DON'T be shocked. I enjoyed the dish but would probably share it with another, that explains my weight gain when I always have lunch by myself. (For the love of food!)
It was a while ago that I had this, so I can't remember clearly how much it cost, so I'll put a HKD$30? but take others advice in terms of pricing than mine. Sorry.
