There’s no shortage of fine dining options in Hong Kong. But there’s also a brisk trade in exorbitantly priced delicacies – morsels that carry status by virtue of their scarcity and cost, or boast an impressive list of health benefits. Some of the most prized – and occasionally the downright weird – are put under the griller here.

To find high-end fish maw, one need look no further than the many dried seafood outlets on the streets of Hong Kong’s Sheung Wan district. Fish maw is actually the swim bladder, a gas-filled organ located near the gills of fish – providing the buoyancy they need to maintain their depth in water. In truth, you can get a tasty serve of fish maw with a plate of Chinese vegetables and a bowl of steamed rice for under HK$100 at any number of cha chaan tengs dotted around the city – but for fish maw at the very top of the price spectrum, the cost is a good deal higher.
The most expensive fish maw is found in the Gulf of Mexico and is sourced from totoaba – a type of drum fish. Totoaba bladder is, in fact, so valuable it has been nicknamed the ‘cocaine of the sea’. It can reportedly fetch as much as US$129,000 (HK$1.01 million) per kg on the black market. There are, however, a couple of catches. The first is that international trade in totoaba maw is banned. The second is that totoaba is becoming increasingly rare due to overfishing, with grave concerns that it is being hunted to extinction. Fortunately there are plenty of more readily available sources of fish maw on the market if that’s your fancy.

Caterpillar fungus (a species of Cordyceps), is another in-demand delicacy with an extravagant price tag. It is prized for its aphrodisiac properties – which is why it is commonly referred to as Himalayan Viagra.
The life cycle by which the caterpillar fungus comes into is like something out of a B-grade horror movie, along the lines of The Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Caterpillar fungus is found on the Tibetan Plateau. It is here that it invades the bodies of caterpillars of the Thitarodes moth. The caterpillars are born underground, ingest a kind of fungus, which infects takes over the host’s tissue. These unfortunate caterpillars never metamorphosize. Their bodies are taken over by the caterpillar fungus, which then shoots out hardened plant roots. 
In addition to its aphrodisiac properties, the caterpillar fungus is also believed to be a cure-all valued for its power to treat back and knee pains, reduce stress and coughing and even treat anemia by boosting haemaglobin levels – but it’s worth noting that these claims do not have a basis in science.
Especially popular as a Chinese medicine, caterpillar fungus sells for as high as 880,000 RMB (HK$1.03 million) per kg and is usually served up double-boiled in soup for maximum impact. Given the price, you would certainly want to get maximum bang for your buck.

Another very popular dish commonly served up on special occasions in Hong Kong is bird’s nest soup. The key ingredient here is actually the saliva of the a particular species of bird – the swift – which uses its saliva to bind its nest together and is prized for its all-round medicinal benefits, especially to the skin, the lungs and the digestive system. The substance extracted from the abandoned nests are highly expensive due to their rarity and difficulty of retrieval – as the swift nests high up on cliff faces and caves in Malaysia and Indonesia.
Consuming the saliva of another creature may turn off some diners but at least no birds were killed in the process, though the extraction process can be dangerous with those hired to collect the bird’s nest from their precarious resting places. Prices for the precious substance generally starts at around HK$175,000 per kg. As the name suggests, it is usually double-boiled in a soup of gelatinous strands.

Mushrooms are a central part of much of traditional Chinese cooking – and are usually affordably prices and easily purchased in any number of wet markets around Hong Kong. But there are exceptions to this rule. With some mushrooms only available to those ready to part with a fair wad of cash.
The priciest of these exotic fungal delicacies is the Hericium Erinaceus. Also called lion’s mane and/or monkey’s head mushroom due to its characteristics shape, this rare and delicate fungus grows wild in the northeast Chinese province of Heilongjiang. It typically prospers in the trunk or hollow of a hardwood tree in the deep recesses of a forest. The fresh mushroom is more costly than the dried version and weights in at around 350 RMB per 500g, although it’s usually sold in half kilo lots. It is praised for boosting blood circulation and reducing cholesterol. 
More expensive still is the matsutake mushroom. Commonly known as the ‘king of fungi’, this mushroom can only thrive in pristine forests free of human influence and grows wild in a number of provinces in northern China. It takes up to five years to grow to fruition and must be picked and consumed within 48 hours – making it a challenge to get it from forest to table.
The dried version is pricier than the fresh version and can fetch up to 2000 RMB per 500g. It usually steamed or served up in a soup but should be cooked at or below 90 degree Celsius to preserve its cancer-fighting properties.

Often gracing the tables of special occasion dining in Hong Kong and mainland China. these delicacies are often served up on special occasions. Abalone is a staple at multi-course meals in Chinese restaurants around Asia. Strict controls on the number of licences available push up the price of these tasty – if somewhat rubbery – gastropod mollusks. High in selenium, which is good to boost stamina, abalone can sell for up to HK$35,000 per kg.

Despite the name, sea cucumbers, are in fact marine animals. These slug-shaped seafloor dwellers were once popular at banquets in China but have fallen somewhat out of fashion in recent years. Although they can still fetch a price as high as 20,000 RMB per kg, driven up by how long these critters take to mature. It is believed that the recovery of post-operative patients can be speeded up eating braised sea cucumber in porridge.

To those uninitiated in the art of coffee making, many might not know that coffee is at its peak flavour between 3 days to 2 weeks after it&#8217;s been roasted. Which explains why store bought&nbsp;— no matter the grade, quality, origin and price, never seems to give you that same satisfaction and joy that a freshly roasted, ground cup of coffee does.

Five reasons to buy from local coffee roasters and where to find them

To say the discussion of Chinese tea can yield endless topics is something of an understatement. Be it tracing the origins of tea, expounding its culinary traditions or exploring its endless medicinal properties, this long-beloved beverage has interested generations of imbibers.&nbsp;

Personally, as a tea seeker, what I am most enamoured with is the classification of Chinese tea. As a Chinese person, drinking tea is something I do with pride, especially given the variety of tea products that are available today.&nbsp;
There are as many as 1017 kinds of famous teas recorded in just famous Chinese tea annal – the first edition of&nbsp;China Agricultural Press&nbsp;in 2000. Given this diversity, even if we sampled one type each day, it would take nearly three years to go through them all. So how do we classify so many types of tea?

For this, we need to use the currently-implemented standard of GB / T 30766-2014, a methodology based on tea processing technology and product characteristics, combined with tea varieties, fresh leaf raw materials and product regions. Tea is divided into seven categories, specifically, six types of basic tea and one category of reprocessed tea. The six kinds of basic tea are derived from the paper&nbsp;Theory and Practice of Tea Classification&nbsp;as written by Professor Chen Jian, a tea expert and educator, in 1979. These are green, white, yellow, oolong, black and brick teas.
Green Tea
Green tea is a kind of non-fermented tea, which is the most produced tea in China. Every province produces green tea, and the number of green tea products in China ranks first in the world. Among the six basic tea categories, green tea accounts for more than 60 percent of China’s total tea output. Green tea quality characteristics: clear soup green leaves, commonly known as three green, namely dry tea green, tea soup green, leaf bottom green. Its preparations include being steamed, baked, roasted and sundried.&nbsp;

White Tea
White tea is a slightly fermented tea that is unique to China. It has been produced for at least 200 years and originated in Fujian Province. The main producing areas are Fuding, Zhenghe, Jianyang and Songxi, of which Fuding is the largest. The production process of white tea is nearly natural, without stir frying and kneading. It is mainly withering and drying. Therefore, white tea keeps the original content of tea to the maximum extent. According to this, white tea is earlier than green tea and has a long history of production. Therefore, white tea is known as a living fossil of tea, and common variations include Baihao Silver Needle, White Peony, Gongmei and Shoumei.&nbsp;

Yellow tea
Yellow tea is another kind of light fermented tea. It’s said that yellow tea was produced by mistakes in the process of making green tea, or yellow tea evolved from green tea. According to Xu Cishu’s&nbsp;Cha Shu Chan Cha&nbsp;(completed in 1597), yellow tea was produced in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Yellow tea has existed since ancient times, but the yellow tea recorded in history is not the same as that referred to today from the perspective of tea fermentation. For example, Mengding yellow bud, which was very famous in the Tang Dynasty, was named after the naturally yellowing leaves of tea varieties. Although the smallest in terms of output of the six tea categories, there are three types that have already found favour with tea drinkers – Huangya, Huangxiao and Huangda.&nbsp;

Oolong tea&nbsp;
Oolong is a semi-fermented tea, and because of its green brown appearance, it is also known as “green tea”. Oolong tea is a kind of unique tea in China, with various products and styles. The requirement of picking fresh leaves of Oolong tea is to open the face of tea, that is, the new shoots of tea trees can be picked only after they are mature. There is no bud head in all oolong tea. Its aroma is very prominent, and replete with natural flower fragrances. its colour is golden or orange yellow, bright and clean, and offers a mellow, fresh, sweet taste. Oolong tea has special charm, such as Tieguanyin has its own “Guanyin rhyme”, while Wuyiyan tea has “rock bone flower fragrance”, and so on.

Black tea
Black tea is a fully fermented tea. The so-called full fermentation, intuitively speaking, is that the leaves of the tea have all changed from green to red. Black tea is also the most popular tea in the world. It is also one of the main types of tea produced and exported by China. China is the birthplace of black tea in the world. In the mid-16th century, Wuyishan, Fujian Province, invented and produced small black tea; in the middle of the 18th century, on the basis of the production technology of small black tea, China created a more exquisite processing technology of Gongfu black tea, making black tea production and trade reach an unprecedented peak. In the early 20th century, broken black tea gradually replaced Gongfu black tea and became the main product in the international market. Black tea has been a typical export tea since race black tea, a strip product made utilising pine smoke, was first exported to Holland and then to Portugal, Britain, France and Germany in the early 17th century.&nbsp;

Dark tea (Brick tea)
Dark tea is a post-fermented tea. The fermentation is completed by natural ageing or artificial piling. The word “dark tea” was first seen in the memorials of the imperial historian Chen Shuo in the third year of Jiajing Emperor’s reign of the Ming Dynasty (1524). Dark tea is not only sold in traditional border areas, but it is also a kind of tea for ethnic unity. The main market of dark tea is in Qinghai, Tibet, Xinjiang, Gansu, Inner Mongolia and other places. The ancient tea horse road is the main channel for transporting dark tea. Dark tea is to meet the living habits of ethnic minority compatriots, who&nbsp; require tea to have boiling resistance. Therefore, the material grade of dark tea is relatively low, and its production and processing are special. The main feature of Dark tea is “wodui” technology. As the name suggests, dark tea is a real fermented tea by piling up tea for a long time, and its most popular producers are the provinces of Hunan, Sichuan, Hubei, Guangxi and Yunnan.&nbsp;
