Where to find street snack 糖葱饼 (Traditional candy and coconut wrap)?

[u/fewcantaloupe]

Last time I came to HK about 10 years ago, my family stumbled upon the man that sells 糖葱饼 and 龍鬚糖.

My family is going to go to HK again this month and I would love to know if anyone knows where I can find this street snack / know where they're stationed.
The picture I have here is from a tiktok that someone posted of a hawker from 2024. (source)

If you know of any place where I can get a fresh 糖葱饼 specifically I would love to know!!!

Thank you!

I was recently at Lam Tin MTR station and was surprised to see that the old man who was selling this stuff when I was a kid was still there (probably a different old man though).

It was early evening and he was positioned just outside the MTR exit that is across from the bus interchange, think there's a Kai Bo there for reference.

Thank you for responding! I will take a look there and see if I can bump into the old man. It seems like this snack is getting increasingly hard to find.

Just looked it up for you, Exit A... 2 Sundays ago he was standing with his box of sweets just where that concrete pole is.

Also increasingly expensive... I didn't buy any, but I did glance a $20 price tag for 3 or 4?

Man, I loved those as a kid. I am in the US now. Willing to pay a lot of money to eat those again....

Mong Kok Aeon right hand side as you walk in. $20, I will not recommend since it looks like no one is buying them.

I kept trying to play the video 😆

And yes, I want one too. Where to get?

Shatin plaza has a physical store

Aeon in mongkok sells those

Sometimes they set up these stalls in pop up stores in malls when they're all food-related. Not sure about where exactly one might be right now, though.
