Eggstraordinary Hong Kong: Salty Eggscellence

Most salted eggs are covered in a black, damp, salted charcoal which makes it salty. There are many ways to cook a salted egg, and there is nothing more delicious than their recent comeback with salted egg fish skin. On the more traditional side, we always have steamed minced pork with salted egg and mooncakes during the festive seasons.

Here are our top picks for where to try these eggstraordinary dishes:

 

1. Steamed Minced Pork with Salted Egg

Man Sing Restaurant is known for its steamed minced pork dish topped with a Salted Egg. Don’t forget to mash the yolk, mix it with the minced pork and service with rice.

Address: 16 Wun Sha Street, Tai Hang

 

2. Salted Egg Fish Skin

Head to Irvin’s for some irresistible salted egg goodness. Warning: it is absolutely addictive, so don’t say we didn’t warn you. They coat the crispy fried fish skin with a salted egg sauce (also known as Irvin’s signature), and it’s perfect for snacking, hot pots or just a guilty-pleasure binge.

Address: Shop 2012, 2/F, IFC Mall, 8 Finance Street, Central

 

3. Golden Prawns 
If you think deep-fried prawns coated with a salted egg sauce is too much of guilty-pleasure, think again. This salivating dish is a must-try when you come to Hong Kong at Crabtain Restaurant. They handle seafood with great expertise and curates the best dishes for locals and tourists alike.

Address: Ming Fung Building, 138 Wan Chai Road, Wan Chai

 

4. Salted Egg Custard Bun 
Indulge on cute custard bun made with salted egg fillings at Dim Sum Icon. Get ready to devour cute Gudetama or other cartoon characters and don’t forget to check out their other dim sums as well while you have the chance.

Address: Shop L308, 3F, The ONE, 100 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui

 

5. Mooncake 
If you’re here during Mid-Autumn Festival, remember to get a taste of this traditional dessert. You can choose from many different fillings, including the lotus paste with salted egg yolk. Try some from Kee Wah Bakery if you’re in Hong Kong during the festive season. It’s one of Hong Kong’s most traditional bakeries and has been around since 1938!

Address: Kee Wah Bakery (locations found all over Hong Kong and Kowloon)
