This is glutinous rice balls filled with sweet black sesame or sometimes even red bean paste, then finished with chopped nuts. It might not look jaw-dropping, but it is really delicious!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Macaroni in Tomato Soup<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the mood for Hong Kong&#8217;s best comfort food?

Have it hot and steaming!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Coconut Juice Smoothies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is a blend of fresh coconut juice, fresh fruit, taro and rice balls.

You will love it!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Sweet Rolls<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another marvellous eat-on-the-street cuisine. They are very cheap and serve well as a quick snack. They are also very inexpensive. It is basically made from a sliced bread roll, which is toasted, buttered and finally drizzled with sweetened condensed milk.
