Delicious Yet Dirty: Dai Pai Dong

Not what I was expecting, but that's still a smile!
Octopus tentacles - hardest thing to chopstick.

First frog leg of the night!


Clean Plate Club.


Free Congee at Tai Yuen - Just what Jessica and I were craving! Seriously, we were dying for some congee - rice soup with chicken parts.

Frog Legs, Anyone?? Imagine a chicken that did small reps for their workouts - little morsels of tight muscle, no extra taste beyond chicken. Delicious but boney.

Octopus Mouth. Not even sure what this is really but that's the name. Perfect Chinese replacement for bar peanuts, chili flavor with calamari chew and pop.
Fried tofu. Melts in your mouth too creamy to be healthy but a nice break from the peculiar dishes.

Fried noodles. Too oily for my taste but delicious and quite the norm.

Dining Experience: Dai Pai Dong

Imagine between 2 warehouses a street block full of tables with trashbag table cloths, toilet roll napkins, and multiple plates of steaming Chinese food, welcome to a dinner of Dai Pai Dong. The place was packed! This is the rough style of street stall food to the 10th power! Sit down, order in Cantonese, eat all you can, enjoy your company, leave full.
