The politically correct name for pissing shrimp is mantis shrimp Dim Sum..? The most popular is at City Hall in Central. They still use the traditional dim sum carts.

I think it's due to everyone wanting their food asap nowadays since pushing the dim sum carts to customers was too slow and inefficient.

(with fish congee, they often let the fish cook inside the bowl, so if the fish isn't fresh, watch out!)

#28 Post at 18-11-2009 09:25  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Reply #26 pauley's post It depends on the individual.  I love street food, and I have an iron stomach so I can dig it.  I was once with 2 buddies from NYC in HK, I was dying for some stinky tofu, spicy fishballs, stuffed jalepenos and fried beef.  We all ate the same stuff, I was ok, one had the runs and my other friend actually had his stomach pumped in a hospital.  I've never had any problems but those with weak stomachs?  I'd recommend Mc Ds, because that is all  my friend ate the rest of the time... he didn't even drink water... it was Coca Cola all the way.
