Tap each one as you crush it. The list saves nothing, so this is a pure honor system. Don't embarrass yourself.
0/7
Top stalls to hunt down
The market is huge and the lines are real. These are the ones worth queueing for.
Bombing Giant Squid
A whole deep-fried giant squid on a stick. Yes, the whole thing.
Main Hot Chicken
Crispy spicy chicken sliders and fries. Pick your heat carefully.
Mumu Bakery
Trendy Korean-style pastries that always pull a line.
Sweet Honey Dessert
Traditional and modern Hong Kong-style desserts.
Wanderlust Ice Cream
Globe-trotting ice cream flavors you won't find elsewhere.
Boba Bestie
The viral boba in cute reusable bottles. Bring it home.
Survival tips
Bring cash
Most vendors are cash-only. Hit an ATM before you go - the on-site lines are brutal.
Wear comfy shoes
It's a massive lot and you'll be on your feet for hours. Skip the new sneakers.
Arrive early
Aim for 4 PM right at open. The crowds and the lines balloon after dark.
Bring a friend
Split everything so you can try twice as many things. This is the whole strategy.
