Not something I cook, but my mother does very occasionally.<br /><br /><b>Hey Daisy,</b> always go to local places! Where I eat is determined by which relatives I'm visiting and where they live haha.<br /><br /><b>Hey Angie,</b> my mum actually prefers the wide egg noodles in generally, but with slippery wontons I find the thin noodles are easier to sluuurp =p<br /><br /><b>Hey Sophie,</b> it's always cheap local eats that I miss when away from Hong Kong.<br /><br /><b>Hey muppy,</b> lots of fun!<br /><br /><b>Hey Tina,</b> oh yes, peanut sauce is glorious!<br /><br /><b>Hey shez,</b> because there is always something to eat no matter what time of day!<br /><br /><b>Hey Vivian,</b> the wok-hei is unbeatable!

A little hard to describe actually!<br /><br /><b>Hey chibiaion,</b> I wouldn't say this is the ultimate in all Chinese cuisine, but definitely some highlights of Cantonese food.<br /><br /><b>Hey sugarpuffi,</b> ahhh yes! Pigs blood jelly is definitely smoother and lighter in Hong Kong than Sydney.<br /><br /><b>Hey kerin,</b> it's the simple and the cheap, isn't it?<br /><br /><b>Hey The Food Sage,</b> haha, I love noodles myself!<br /><br /><b>Hey Gourmet Getaways,</b> it can be hard to find places with a good soup base.
