Ferry food


Lor Mai Gai is filled with chicken, a preserved duck egg, gravy, some sweet sausage something all wrapped in sticky rice and then wrapped round with a green leaf and steamed. It's yummy, bony, odd and cheap - everything street food should be.

Another of our favourites is the barbecued pork buns. They are $5 each and were great in Korea, too.

There are all kinds of dumplings and fried things and dim sum to buy on the street. I've got to admit that I haven't tried half the options. For one thing, it's daunting pushing through a crowd to try and order something that you're not sure what it is, so you can't just shout out what you want. For another, not all of it smells that great.

But it's spring break tomorrow, starting at noon. I'm going to set a goal to have a different street food every day. Curried fish balls, here I come.
