Curry fishball is a popular street food of Hong Kong. They are easily available from vendors along the streets. I remember my youngest son never seemed to get tired of eating them while we were in Hong Kong. He requested to buy curry fishballs every time we turned a street corner when he saw a vendor selling them. 

My son, YS, is most happy today when he saw me making these curry fishballs.
