Yellow Fever: Salted Egg Yolk Snacks in Asia

Salted egg is already popular and commonly used in Hong Kong Cantonese cuisine - we use it to cook with stir-fried crab, deep fried prawns or even with vegetables. It is actually made from duck eggs. Asians especially people from Hong Kong have changed how we see salted egg yolks since salted egg yolk flavored fish skin snacks became popular in 2018.


Then other brands from Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong have released different types of snacks. Even McDonald’s in Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong have offered a sauce for McNugget. Salted egg yolk taste is very aromatic and addictive. Surprisingly there is a wide range of salted egg yolk flavoured snacks from potato chips to candies. HONGKONGUIDE has found many of them for you. You will be surprised with the last one!
