More than 100 food stalls are offering a wide variety of local street snacks. Cooked-food vendors also started trading from September 30.

Popular offerings include pandan thousand-layer cake, mango durian pancakes, crystal cakes, crispy fried oysters, brown-sugar taro ball grass jelly, mango sago desserts, chicken skin dumplings, grilled lamb skewers, chicken wing stuffed rice, and Kam Tin Doggie’s Noodles.

In addition to food and performances, the festival has a range of family-friendly activities. On National Day, pony horses will appear during designated time slots for photo opportunities.
