even in hk you gotta be careful with the food vendors on the street. especially for those of you who grew up in the states, you might get the shits.

that said, i love the food in hk and used to buy from the street vendors all the time. i got the shits here and there, but it's all good!

btw... i went this past jan and noticed there's not as many street vendor carts now. has the govt been cracking down?

fish balls man! nothing is better than those! yea govt has been cracking down lately....and most of them moved into stores instead of the street...it's the same stuff but they store everything into a store front

yep, the fish balls are the mofo'n best!!

yea, when i went back in 2002, i noticed a lot of them were in store fronts too.

health department is also getting more strict esp after the SARS issue

So the moral of the story is: If you have money don't be cheap and buy from a shady seller, just go to a nice restaurant. Its not like food in Beijing/China is expensive anyway.

This is like the exact opposite of the Thai Street vendor....

I think NY Cities are right in the middle.
