RE: Hong Kong: Street foods edition #1 with grilled Octopus and Chashao BBQ Duck!
Wow, this post makes me so hungry! My experience with octopus was that it was extremely chewy, so I must have ate badly prepared octopus. I didn't like it. However, we had a duck for Thanksgiving a few years ago and it was amazing. I am a huge duck fan. The food looks amazing there.
Thanks! Everything here tastes awesome! Grilled octopus and such is really good but my favorite is when it's fried and battered like calamari. Duck is so good, it's a nice fatty bird so the meat has a lot of flavor. I like filling a slow cooker up with chopped vegetables and then covering them with 2-3 lightly seasoned duck thighs and let them slowly cook. Duck thighs are almost pure fat and the seasonings you rub them in end up just slowly dripping over the vegetables the entire time so when it's finished cooking the vegetables have a lot of flavor since they basically just slow cooked in a seasoned fat all day.
Wow, you are making my mouth water! Sounds delicious!
