ORGANS IN A POT
It is basically a pot of offel, en-
trails, innards and other animal
organs, mixed with peppers,
radish and heaps of sweet-salty
sauce. It may not look tempt-
ing enough, but this snack can
actually be pretty tasty. Organs
in a pot will say a lot about how
people in Hong Kong can be
geniuses to come up with such
brilliant ways of not letting any
part of an animal go to waste.

describe the feeling one gets from
seeing and tasting these luscious
egg tarts. These tarts are made of
flour, butter, sugar, milk and eggs
and are baked until they reach a
consistency that is soft and moist,
and are best eaten while warm.
