The store is inconspicuous, and everything is done by yourself, and you have to serve the food yourself, even the table has to be opened by yourself, and you have to return the plate and put the table away after eating. But the high-profile is reasonable, and the eighteen paparazzi fans are better than the taste, and they can definitely afford the word "unique". In 2016, Michelin recommended more than 400 restaurants and hotels, and added street food bars, including 23 street food restaurants in Hong Kong, including 18 paparazzi fans.
A few decades ago, Hong Kong's old district buildings were divided by numbers, and some of the snack bars were opened under the buildings, but due to the demolition of the old districts, they found another location to reopen, hence the name "18 paparazzi fans". Paparazzi noodles are a well-known street food in Hong Kong in the 60s and 70s, and it is said that Shunde people came to Hong Kong in the early days to work hard. At that time, due to the poor economic environment, the common people kneaded the rice noodles into strips and dipped them in the shape of hot open fruit belly, because the noodles resembled a dog's tail and got the name "paparazzi powder", some people called it "relief powder", people held a bucket to sell on the street at that time, very down-to-earth.
Paparazzi powder has nothing to do with dogs, and it is not a wrasse powder. Because the pointed end of the vermicelli is like a dog's tail, it is called paparazzi powder. After improvement, the paparazzi powder is no longer pointed and sharp, but short and fat, and generally thick before and after, which is very cute. The appearance is like a foot sesame powder, and the mouth is amazing. The most delicious thing is the soup base - the soup is thick and gray-white, with mushrooms, dried shrimp and lard residue, boiled for 45 minutes, and then baked for another 45 minutes, the soup base is thick, and the powder is soft and tough; The powder body is short and hangs in the soup, and many people drink the soup base after eating, which is very emotional.
The duck wings are also a big sign of the 18-seat paparazzi fans. It resembles a bowl of wings, but the taste is more fragrant, the duck shreds are soft and easy to melt, and the fungus shreds are crisp and refreshing. According to the boss, the duck wing soup base is made with 4 roast ducks, which takes 6 hours to boil until the bones melt, and each pot is only about 30 bowls, which can ensure a rich taste. The spicy preserved vegetables on the table are stir-fried by the store itself, first stir-fried with garlic, and then stir-fried with four kinds of chili powder.
The ingredients are simple, delicious and inexpensive. Paparazzi is one of the few snack shops that is open 24 hours a day, and no matter what time you arrive, you can always taste the feelings of the old Hong Kong people.
