The prevalence of hotdog fever in NYC didn’t spread to Asia.
In NOHO NYC, I can easily find kimchi hotdog, seaweed hotdog or wasabi hotdog
in addition to traditional hotdog flavors. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find a solid
hotdog place in Hong Kong until I tried Yonge Piggies. Yonge (pronounced “young”)
Piggie is a Canadian hotdog joint.
Yes, you can find poutine fries here J Poutine is simply french fries, fresh cheese
curds, and brown gravy. It is a Canadian snack-meal-diner specialty, and can be
crazy delicious.
What distinguishes a good hotdog from a bad hotdog is the sausage.
A grilled to perfection sausage must be crispy but juicy. I think Yonge Piggies succeeds in providing grilled to perfection sausages with quality consistency. I ordered three different hotdog combos because
I was sharing with friends : Honey Garlic, Picante Pepper and Hickory Smoked. I also tried the gravy, chili and cheese sauce
French fries as they come with the combos.
The condiments counter provides various toppings: grated
cheddar, jalapenos, olives, onion, bacon bits, tomatoes, sweetcorn,
sauerkraut, guacamole and relish. I picked onion, grated cheddar, olives and
jalapenos. I also added ranch dressing, honey mustard and ketchup on my
hotdogs.
I have to say the hotdog tastes lip-smackingly delicious! It
completely satisfied my hotdog craving. However, the price range is little high
(average $$$ 70-90ish HKD for a hotdog/soda/fries). Service is mediocre… I’ve been to Yonge Piggies 4-5 times, but I have yet to meet a
friendly staff, especially at the condiments counter where I pick my toppings.~~~~~~
