Fried crab in the typhoon shelter
What exactly is a "typhoon shelter"? Why is it popular around the world?
Many people will ask this question.
From June to September every year, typhoons hit Hong Kong. In order to prevent ships entering and leaving Hong Kong from being hit by typhoons, in 1862, the Hong Kong government built a harbor in the Victoria Harbor for ships to escape typhoons. In addition to being able to berth 50 giant ships, many small ships also came here to escape typhoons. There were 11 places to avoid the wind, the largest of which was Causeway Bay, which was called a typhoon shelter by locals.
Since the beginning of the 1960s, due to environmental pollution, it has been difficult for fishermen living off the coast of Hong Kong to catch fish in the waters near Hong Kong, and it has been difficult for them to make a living by fishing alone. Fishermen who have made the sea their home for generations are reluctant to leave the sea. Some fishermen set their sights on Causeway Bay and began to sail to Causeway Bay. They set up stoves and used fishermen's special cooking methods to serve specialty delicacies, such as seafood, porridge, flour, noodles, etc. The most famous ones are "Typhoon Shelter Chili Fried Crab","Typhoon Shelter Grass Shrimp","Typhoon Shelter Fried Noodles","Typhoon Shelter Egg Yolk Crab", etc.
Every night falls, fishing boats with lights and colors dock in groups on the shore. People enjoy delicious food and enjoy performances on the small boats rowing. A scene of singing and dancing gradually forms a "water market."
Since the beginning of the 80th century,"typhoon shelters" have been brought ashore with their unique flavor. Since then,"typhoon shelters" have quietly emerged in Japan, Singapore, the United States, mainland China and Taiwan.
So "Typhoon Shelter" is not the name of a restaurant, it is like "Sichuan cuisine".
