Factory kitchen

Kwun Tong.

Factory workers need to eat, and someone needs to cook for them. In the factory district of Kwun Tong, plenty of underground eateries serve up plates upon plates of food for hungry workers during lunchtime. Here is a plate of curry chicken, at 25 HKD including a drink.

Congee with pork and thousand-year egg, fried dough, and hot soy milk.
This is localization at its finest!

Hot dog, with steamed bun. Bun is soft but lacks flavor and character.
The dog tastes like sponged plastic.

Succulent octopus fish in crisply fried dough balls. The sweetness of
the takoyaki sauce is balanced out with a hint of wasabi. The only
let-down: no katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) though.

Mocha coffee bread; the "Julius Caesar". The Julius Caesar was a
combination of bacon, mushrooms, peppers and a béchamel-based sauce,
baked over a slice of French bread. The result was a sumptuous portion
of wholesome luxury.

Rating: 1 star to the bakery, for its selections, product freshness, and ability to reinvent the bakery business.
