The development of street food in Hong Kong has a long history, since the 19th century, Hong Kong has begun to have roadside stalls, they are in order to maintain their livelihood and take care of the dietary needs of the lower class of society and appeared, as for the street food stalls in the 1950s and early 60s, the most prosperous development.
The wide variety of snacks sold at low prices made them very popular. Later, due to hygiene problems, they were gradually removed by the government, and these street stalls began to operate in stores. Although they were no longer "pushing carts" on the side of the road, the food they sold was still the same as that sold on the streets, which made them very popular.

The emergence of "Food Street", which refers to the concentration of cooked food hawkers in one place to sell food to the lower class, was the earliest example of a food street. The earliest "Food Street" was located at the junction of Stanley Street and Graham Street in Central.
There are a number of cooked food hawkers selling breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as late-night snacks and sweetened water (sweet soup) in the street, and a large number of hawkers began to appear in the 50s and 60s selling street food, and from the 1970s onwards, the government began to suppress street stalls from blocking the street in order to rectify the cityscape and reorganize the planning of the city; and from the reunification of Hong Kong with the People's Republic of China (HKSAR) in 1997, the government cracked down on the hygiene problems arising from the food hawkers selling on the roadside. After the 1997 handover, the government cracked down on unlicensed hawkers because of hygiene problems associated with roadside food stalls, causing the number of street vendors to plummet, and in recent years, the number of hawkers has dropped considerably, but street food is no longer confined to the "streets".
