We are Hong Kong food fanatics, but at the end of the day some foods just don’t deserve an ounce of love. Here’s what on our shit list at the moment.

1. Japanese All-you-can-eat “fong tai 放題” dinners. It’s mostly bad sashimi, sloppy food and crowded seating. Over it.

2. Puff pastry egg tarts. Because butter crust is the real deal FO SHO.

3. Atmospheric cha chaan tengs. There are some famous cha chaan tengs that are fantastic all around, and there are others where the nostalgic interior clearly outshines the food. By all means, go and take lots of photos, but stop raving about the mediocre grub.

4. Sago dessert soup, aka sai mai lou. It’s like sickeningly sweet condensed milk pudding that melted everywhere. What is the appeal?

5. Celebrity wonton noodles. Why spend a gazillion dollars on big-name noodles when you can go to plenty of no-name wonton noodles places — like Roca in Jordan. Now those are real noodles.

6. Shark’s fin is somehow still considered a staple in banquet dinners. What?! How is this still allowed to happen?

7. All-day, always overpriced breakfast. I’m sick of a plate of overcooked scrambled egg, sausage, beans and toast adding up to $150.

8. Pizza Hut. This is not real pizza. And there is no reason to have a sit-down meal here. Worse yet is when you walk into an office party and Pizza Hut is on the table. Do you have tastebuds?

9. Giant fishballs in Cheung Chau. Good for an Instagram post, but in terms of taste? These balls are pretty bland.
