At these informal eateries, food is fast, cheap and wildly tasty - but there might not be a menu!

Crunch down on deep-fried goodies in Mong Kok, a buzzing pocket of central Kowloon where the only thing more kaleidoscopic than the flavors are the neon lights above. Indulge in decadent roast goose and hand-made coffee in Tsim Sha Tsui, the region’s southern urban hub.
