Kam Wah Cafe is the place to look for if you are looking for some famous "Polo buns" (菠萝包). The Polo buns (nothing to do with Marco Polo) is actually a normal bun with a sugar crust coated on top that looks like pineapple (bo lo in Cantonese) when baked, hence the name.

The bun is actually commonly served in many "cafe" in HK with options to be served with butter slices (菠萝油), pork chop (猪扒菠萝包) and etc. The Kam Wah Cafe in Mongkok is well known for its fresh-from-oven buns that is usually sold out very quickly.

Besides Polo buns, the cafe also sells various pastries like coconut tart and egg tart (Tai Cheong is much better) and cooked food for those to opt to dine in.

Not totally worth a visit unless you are nearby looking for a bite. The buns are ok but the rest are just mediocre.

There's a well known phrase in HK movies or dramas, "Uncle bring you see gold fish", which is actually a pick up line of kidnappers or filthy uncles trying to lure kids by inviting them to visit the gold fish stalls. There's also this interesting street known as Gold Fish Street in Hong Kong, because the whole street is basically selling gold fishes.

It was quite a sight because of the vibrant colours of the fishes. Other than gold fishes, the gold fish street, or originally known as Tung Choi Street also supplies various aquatic and aquarium equipments.

Just happened to pass by the gold fish market and decided to have a peak due to curiosity. There's nothing much here other than vibrant colour of fishes and the sound of water pumps. Good photo opportunity.

Congee, or porridge is also one of the well known Cantonese cuisine. Located in Mong Kok, Hoi Keng Congee specialist is one of the more well known place for a quick local breakfast. However, there's no sea view noted around, as their name "Hoi Keng" literally means sea view.

Congee was used to be the staple food for the Chinese as rice was expensive and living was difficult. The same amount of rice can feed more mouths if it was cooked into porridge. As life gets better, so does the food culture. Congee has evolved over the years from the normal white plain congee, into more varieties from sweet to savoury. The locals also like to dip their porridge with "yau char gwai" (fried dough), which you may find these being sold outside the shop.

There are three Hoi Keng branches in HK if I'm not mistaken, namely in Mong Kok (Bute Street & Argyle Street) and Kowloon City.

As I didn't include congee as part of my HK food list due to the short time frame, hence I'm only reviewing Hoi Keng Congee shop as a street food list for the fried dough that they sell outside the shop. Given chance, would definitely visit them for a Cantonese porridge breakfast next time.

Ladies street, or the original street name Tong Choi Street is a one kilometer long street known for its street market for selling ladies products like accessories, clothings, bags etc with more than hundred stalls that will put your haggling and negotiation skills to the test.

The Chinese loves to group and sell the same merchandise along the same street, hence you will notice many different streets are renamed to its respective merchandise like sandal street, flower street, gold fish street etc. It brings intensive competition to the vendors but a great convenience for the consumer as it acts as a one stop centre for you to compare and to make your purchases.

The Ladies Street now also sells souvenirs as more tourists have been visiting these streets. It opens day and night and usually closes at 12am.

If you are around Mong Kok and looking for some street food, probably you will notice this little corner store known as Gai Kei (佳记小吃) where you will see many locals will queue to buy something as snack.
