Street food stands as a pillar of Hong Kong cuisine, with a vendor on nearly every corner in Mong Kok. However, a local favorite vendor stands out among the rest. Fondly referred to as Fei Jie (肥姐), which translates to 'fat lady', this stall offers a variety of tantalizing options. Cuttlefish and soy-braised snacks are among the more familiar choices, but the heart of the menu lies in the unconventional yet delicious skewers of Turkey Kidneys (火雞腎) and Pig Offal (生腸). The idea might seem unusual, but with a drizzle of sweet sauce and mustard, these delicacies reveal their unique appeal, drawing lengthy queues on a daily basis.

Undeniably, the appeal of Fei Jie's snack store is evident in the constant presence of 10-30 people in the queue at any given time of day, independent of standard dining hours. Despite the seemingly long line, the turnover is impressively quick, ensuring a swift service. However, customers are expected to be prepared with their order choices, as the pace of service doesn't allow for extensive menu browsing. So, when stepping up as the first in line, be ready to place your order promptly!

Our Recommendation

Cuttlefish (墨魚)

A significant portion of the dishes are marinated with soy sauce, resulting in a distinctive orange color when served. Cuttlefish provides an appetizing choice for those less inclined towards offal. Other palatable options that don't include offal include sausage and pork cheek, which are equally delightful and satisfying.

Pig Offal (生腸)

Pig offal represents another delicacy on the menu, meticulously marinated for enhanced flavor. The secret to superior pig offal lies in the thorough cleansing of the meat. Mirroring the serving style of cuttlefish, pig offal is typically presented cold, ensuring a firm and al dente texture.

Turkey Kidneys (火雞腎)

Turkey kidney ranks as another sought-after snack at Fei Jie. Given its al dente texture and larger size compared to chicken kidney, it provides a more satisfying and mouth-filling experience, particularly for those who appreciate offal.
