Culinary legacy in HK- "Dai PaI Dong"勝香園 Sing Heung Yuen

勝香園 Sing Heung YuenAddress: 2 Mei Lun Street, Central
Located in a busy joint between Sheung Wan and Central, 勝香園is one of the very few "Dai PaI Dong"( outdoor foodstall) left in Hong Kong, feeding a mix of businessmen, workers and tourists. Grab a seat and eat outdoor amid skyscrapers jungle while a long queue of expectant diners standing right behind you.( it goes all the way down the street)

Everyone just drops in here to order macaroni with beef ( or instant noodles) in rich tomato broth. Surprised to find that canned tomato soup can be so thick and rich. Every single macaroni is soaked in the tomato purée. And the beef is in minimal marinate, unlike the common practice in most local restaurants( overly tenderised with soda).

Perfect match with a glass of local classic,salted lemon sprite: Citric, salty and frizzy all in one go. 勝香園is definitely on my local to-eat-list that truly represents Hong Kong! Stay tuned and I'll introduce another signature dish in 勝香園 @ next post:)
