Hong Kong Food: Dai Pai Dong

Dai Pai Dong literally translates to “big license stall” referring to their bigger than average license plates displayed in their stall. Founded after the Second World War, the license to operate a Dai Pai Dong was a means provided by the government to families of deceased and injured civil servants as a way to earn a living. We meet up with Alex who takes us to try some of his favourite Dai Pai Dong dishes such as Sweet & Sour Pork, Razor Clams, Garlic Scallops and Fried Squid. Of course, no Dai Pai Dong meal is complete without some friends and ice-cold beers.
