If you have visited Hong Kong in the past, you should have tried the typical HK street food stalls and had a taste of the famous curry fish balls there. If you haven't, then you must make sure you will try it the next time you are there.

What is so special about it? Standing in front of a food stall like this, you will be able to see a wide selection of food choices. My favourite would be the curry fish balls and the pig intestines. Of course these may not sound mouth-watering to some of you but I am sure you will be able to find something which you fancy eating. Octopus balls, beef balls, minced pork balls, octopus, squids, chilli wrapped with fish meat, chicken wings or tips, fish balls and lettuce in soup, fake shark fin soup, cow tripe and Hong Kong Street Food Recipe

The Forrest Gump of Food

by Ed Williams

Let me paint an honest picture for ya’ll this week. As I write this, it’s 3:23 am in the morning. I’m sitting here typing in one of my Nu-Way t-shirts and some plain white drawers. There’s no light on in the house other than the light emanating from my computer. Everyone else is sound asleep, and will be for another two to three hours. Everyone, that is, except me.

I‘m sure some of ya’ll are wondering, “Ed, why are you up at this time of the night?” And the answer is very simple - I’m an idiot. A pure-T, grade A idiot. I’m so stupid that I make the guy that runs North Korea look like Einstein. Or better yet, Einstein and da Vinci put together.

The reason why I’m writing a column at 3:34 am in the morning? It’s really quite simple. I was over The Forrest Gump of Food Recipe
