    Hong Kong Treats: Stuffed Tofu

    The thing about Hong Kong is you can find a Starbucks on most street corners, but next to it you'll also find the most amazing speciality shops selling traditional food that has been around for hundreds of years. The local dessert houses serve up dishes like Black Sesame Soup and Tau Fu Fa (silky tofu drenched in a sweet syrup) and in Sheung Wan you can get every kind of dried seafood you can imagine- scallops, oysters, shrimp, sea urchin, you name it, they've dried it.

    Authentic Gaeng Hung Lay

    Authentic Gaeng Hung Lay is a deeply aromatic Northern Thai pork belly curry, slow simmered until rich, tender and unctuous. Unlike coconut based Thai curries, Gaeng Hung Lay is built around a handmade paste, whole spices, tamarind and pickled garlic, creating a beautifully balanced dish that is sweet, sour and savoury all at once. This Authentic Gaeng Hung Lay recipe follows traditional techniques, starting with pounding the paste and slowly braising chunky pork belly until meltingly soft.

    Tasty Chinese Egg Tarts

    Hong Kong Style Dan Tat

    Tasty Chinese Egg Tarts are a true Hong Kong bakery classic. Unlike Portuguese egg tarts, which caramelise on top, these traditional Cantonese egg tarts should have a smooth, glossy yellow surface with no browning. The custard should be silky, lightly set and melt in the mouth, with flaky puff pastry underneath.

    This Tasty Chinese Egg Tart recipe uses palm sugar syrup for a deeper, more complex sweetness. The key techniques are reducing the syrup correctly, removing excess air from the egg mixture and carefully controlling oven temperature to prevent caramelisation while ensuring the pastry cooks through.
