Hong Kong used to have a lot of these greasy spoon places serving fast quick fries for takeaway. Things from noodles to hot dogs to burgers. All fast, made to order and piping hot. But over time, more and more of these places closed up. The latest one is 樂景快餐店 (English name: Lucky Snack House). A tiny hole in the wall in Wanchai, this place has been in business for over 40 years. But as there is no one to take up the business (as is usual in Hong Kong), they are closing.We decided to grab one
We decided to grab one last burger as a good bye.
Menu is in Chinese only and is literally written on the walls of the tiny place. You can choose a sauce (tomato, curry, black pepper) for any thing you order. The place isn't fancy. You can see and smell the wok frying away in the corner.
Then they plopped our hot burger into a paper bag and away we went.
It only cost $23. A burger was seared and smashed between two sesame seed buns. A signature bun used in many local Hong Kong places. A generous smear of tomato sauce with a fried egg and processed cheese. Pretty good and satisfying. Nothing fancy and that was the point of these places. Nothing fancy but just offer decent food.
