Follow Hong Kong Investment Immigration to read the Hong Kong Dining Guide: Many people say that Hong Kong people cannot handle spicy food. In fact, you have to know where to look to find spicy delicacies in Hong Kong. Below, let me introduce two places for spicy food in Hong Kong that are also loved by locals. If you love spicy food, take a look.
Spicy Food in Hong Kong 1: Man Jiang Hong Xiao Tian Tian
Hot and Sour Fish Head Noodles (selected hand-pulled noodles) ($68): There are four types of noodles on the menu (dragon beard, hand-pulled, vermicelli, and knife-cut) to choose from. We finally chose the hand-pulled noodles, which are the same as those used for Dan Dan noodles. When the bowl of noodles was served, we couldn't help but exclaim! The fish head noodles were a large portion with plenty of ingredients, and the aroma of the hot and sour broth was overflowing! The presentation alone was enough to make one's mouth water! First, I tasted the soup; it was very flavorful without being too salty or too spicy. The soup base was rich, sweet, and spicy. It was delicious to drink on its own, and even better when eaten with the noodles! The noodles were cooked to a soft texture without being mushy, had a good bite, and were very tasty! The bowl also included plenty of pickled vegetables, bean sprouts, and spices, making the meal rich and satisfying! The fish head was deep-fried and had no fishy smell; the fish skin was crispy and flavorful, while the fish meat was fresh and sweet!
Jumbo Lime Tree: A super delicious signature drink! Sweet and sour with a bit of crushed ice, it is great for relieving spiciness! The portion is large! However, as you drink it, you will always get bits of lime pulp, which is a bit troublesome; that is the only downside!
Chuanbei Cold Noodles: The taste was just right, with plenty of minced garlic and a moderate level of spiciness.
Pickled Pepper Chicken Feet: Extremely flavorful, a must-eat every time.
Century Egg with Green Peppers: The century egg had a soft, runny yolk, and the green peppers were sweet and fragrant.

Spicy Food in Hong Kong 2: Food Garden Restaurant
Carp Pot. Not to mention the carp pot, even carp is a type of fish we rarely eat whole. This carp pot is a limited-time offer. The restaurant first pan-fries/deep-fries the fish until fragrant. The internal organs were removed and cleaned, and they could be fished out from the soup base, which was full of fish flavor. The carp might have been served before it was fully stewed, so the meat had not completely separated from the bones, but one bite revealed the smoothness of the fish meat. Since the scales and gills were not removed, the scales were fried/pan-fried until very crispy. Combined with the fragrant and smooth fish skin, it offered a texture that was crispy, refreshing, and smooth all at once. Paired with this rich fish soup base, it was extremely flavorful. Fish is not something that makes you feel full quickly, so after finishing it, I was still left wanting more. The Worldway Immigration website editor reminds you that this is also a signature dish of the restaurant.
The shrimp in the scrambled egg with shrimp rice were large prawns, even though there were only six in a serving. Looking closely, every shrimp had been deveined, which was truly unexpected. The shrimp meat was firm, not mushy, and still had a fresh shrimp flavor. Actually, six shrimp are enough to go with a plate of rice if you are frugal. The only drawback is that there was very little egg sauce, so it felt a bit like eating plain rice at the end.
Signature dishes: Stir-fried Beef Ho Fun / Raisin Bread / Pineapple Bun / Water Spinach with Shrimp Paste / Cocktail Bun
