Small detail. :)

Nathan, bring your own bowl and chopstick if you are worried about catching 
something. I haven't been there in decades so maybe the hygienic standards 
are better now. Singapore has the safest street food in south east Asia. Get 
Hep A & B shots before you go if you want to give it a try.

I've forgotten all the neat stuff I ate as a kid. You must be able to get 
snake soup in HK. :) There were little birds on a skewer (sort of like what 
is done in southern France) and other more exotic snacks. (Grilled squid - 
yummy)

What I loved as a kid also included a bowl of soup noodles (with either 
fried pork chop or sliced pot roast beef on top). If I was really rich that 
day, I would ask for a hard-boiled egg which cost about 0.5 Yuan extra.

In many ways, it is no more exotic than what is served at tapas. Lots of 
culinary ventures possible. It all a matter how adventurous one is willing 
to be?.

Regards,
Spencer
