We found this stall at the north end of the Temple Street (廟街) selling curry fish balls (and some other food) on our first day in Hong Kong (Oct 5, 2007). Good stuff for supper.

Curry fish ball used to be a common street food in Hong Kong. We used to see it on TV where people were selling it on street with a food cart…

However, just like many other street foods, most of them are now required to do their business in food courts or shop houses. Many of these street food sellers decided to end their business instead, and it is now becoming difficult to find some of these foods.

Curry fish ball is still relatively easy to find though, we found this one and managed to spot a few more the next few days in other areas in Hong Kong.

We ordered a bit of everything… fish balls, meat balls, octopus and pork skin. Their curry was a bit sweet, it was like mixing curry with ketchup and a bit or chili oil… it was simple and delicious… and cheap (HK$40 if I remember correctly).
