- Under Bridge Spicy Crab, known as a local dish in Hong Kong, gets its name from originating under a certain bridge. This hearty dish is marked by crabs stir-fried with plenty of garlic and spices, offering an addictive aroma and spicy kick. On the other hand, "Roast Goose at Kam's Roast," known for its juicy and crispy skin, is an iconic representation of Cantonese cuisine. Tasting these dishes within Hong Kong’s culinary culture allows one to truly engage with the region's rich history and food traditions. Under Bridge Spicy Crab, known for its strong aroma and spiciness, is best enjoyed with a cold beer to enhance the flavors. As for the author embarking on such a gourmet adventure, it seems that the sound of cracking crab shells was second only to the noise of construction sites on the harbor, providing the surrounding diners with a blend of laughter and nuisance—a harmony typical of Hong Kong. In the end, it seems that to refine the author's etiquette, indulging in fine cuisine alone might not suffice; perhaps some practice on "eating quietly" is necessary.
