Looking back
The SD Foodie take
Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.
The whole photo is a scale test: an open hand held flat beside a golden, crumb-coated chicken cutlet sticking out of a blue-and-white Hot-Star paper bag on a Mong Kok street.
The Cantonese caption says the cutlet was bigger than his hand, and the picture proves it. This is Taiwanese night-market street food doing exactly what it promises — crunchy, oversized and eaten on the move.
The quick critique
What stood out
- A cutlet bigger than a hand
- Crisp, crumb-coated crust
- Eaten on the street in Mong Kok
Bottom line
Archive verdict
Street snack as spectacle — Hot-Star’s cutlet lived up to its “Large Fried Chicken” name.
