It’s a little taste of Hong Kong in the heart of San Francisco, a food truck which has been supplying egg tarts, milk tea and other classic Hong Kong dishes to Californians since 2012.

But 30-year-old Nikki Ma said she almost considered coming back to Hong Kong when she heard about the government’s new plans for food trucks.

“It’s a great opportunity for the next generation to try this out, there’s probably a lot of people out there who have great ideas but who don’t know how to bring it up,” she said.

Ma is the owner of Hongry Kong, a San Francisco food van which offers traditional Hong Kong dishes such as pork and chicken cutlets with noodles, dumplings and the ever-popular egg tart, her best seller.
