CHUEN CHEONG FOODS
Chai, exit A4)
So you're walking through Wan Chai and you smell something…wait, is there a
horse stable
nearby? Nope, that's just the manure-like stench of stinky tofu, a paradigm case of 'tastes
better than it smells'. This popular street stall (no English sign) serves the beloved snack
Hong Kong-style, which means deep-fried with hot chilli sauce.
