Egg Tart Socks
What is that wonderful smell? It must be from the freshly baked egg tart just out of the oven! Our obsession over this tasty local snack motivates us to capture its greatness in this Hong Kong Food Series.
While others like to eat it right in the middle, we recommend you to eat all the crust first and then keep the best part (a.k.a. egg yolk) until the end.
Dim Sum Socks
In Hong Kong, we would often go to yum cha (a.k.a drink tea) with our parents to catch up and spend family time together. We present to you our dim sum socks which is inspired by the yum cha culture in HK.
Milk Tea Socks
One of the go-to drink when travelling in Hong Kong. The authentic milk tea is usually made with "pantyhose" through multiple rounds of pouring. The milk tea will then have a final touch of evaporated milk which gives the silkiness texture. One may prefer the original flavor, while we like to add some sugar to sweeten things up.
Yummy !
Bubble Waffle Socks
What is "Bubble" x "Waffle" ? Yup, you named it, Bubble Waffle! The way it is being made is by pouring some golden egg batter to the waffle mold and then bake it. What comes out of that is the
"egg waffles" or "egg puffs" (a.k.a. "gai daan jai").
Rooster Socks
Inspired by the infamous Rooster bowls, we designed the rooster socks to pay tribute to this culturally rich designs.
Back in the days, the rooster bowls are were known for their above-average quality and act as an affordable alternative for those who could not afford the bowls of the upper class.
They were first made by the Hakka community around the Guangdong Province over a hundred years ago. Some people say that "rooster" represents
"family" in Hakka while the peonies painted on the bowl refers to a common Chinese saying - "TEME#" which means the flowers blossom with richness or prosperity.
Ding Ding Socks
"Ding Ding" - The tram is approaching to its
station!
In Hong Kong, the tram, a.k.a. "Ding Ding" has been serving Hong Kong people since the early
1900s. It has created an important
link between people from the east side to the west side. Also, it marks the history and witnesses the development of the city. Now, Ding Ding is still Hong Kong people favourite and becomes one of
the "must see" when visiting Hong Kong.
Aside from Ding Ding, the red-sail Chinese junk boats, otherwise known as Aqua Luna is also an important symbols of Hong Kong. If you didn't get the chance to sail one, then you should at least
ride on it (with our socks).
