In recent years, many Hollywood movies have been filmed in Hong Kong. For example, the 2015 movie "Blackhat" was filmed at the "Wooson Street Temporary Food Hawker Market" at 29 to 39 Wu Song Street.
This temporary cooked food hawker market was completed in 1984 and offers authentic Hong Kong-style food. Before reconstruction, the cooked food hawker market was covered with canvas and surrounded by barbed wire. Although the equipment was simple, it was very attractive to foreign visitors. In March 2021, the market completed renovations and reopened with a barrel-shaped appearance.
In the morning and lunch markets, the market provides authentic Hong Kong-style tea restaurant-style fast food and authentic Hong Kong-style milk tea. The evening market offers the delicious stir-fried dishes of Dai Pai Dong, which is the characteristic of Temple Street’s food culture.
In recent years, cooked food hawker markets have been eliminated one after another. It is reported that after the "Soya Street Temporary Cooked Food Market" was demolished and vacated in 2006, another "Yau Ma Tei Reclamation Street Cooked Food Hawker Market" with a history of nearly half a century has been established. ”, citing the high vacancy rate, the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department plans to permanently close the cooked food market in the fourth quarter of 2022 to free up the land for other land uses. Good places with local flavor like Wu Song Street Temporary Cooked Food Hawker Market have been sold out, so everyone should make time to go there more often.
