Anybody miss me? >.< Haha. This video has been promised for a long time! This is our "intermediate video" to Hong Kong Foods. Our "beginner video" is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hH2Vgq2vedupiposi=ndv023P-L3oOA82U Let me know if you think I missed a crucial Hong Kong food/dish that needs to be showcased. I missed you all lots!!!

I love how Virginia doesn't show fancy food, which not many people can afford. These are everyday Hong Kong food that people can afford.

Yes! We're all about yummy food - high and low =)

[@kimchow6918]

Welcome back Virginia! Our family lives in New York but we visit Hong Kong every few years to visit relatives and eat their incredible food. We have tried some of the places mentioned in your video and will definitely try the rest on our next visit. I do want to mention that the second place in your video, Sung Hang Yuen, is also very well known for their fried egg and ground beef sandwich which we have tried, and it was delicious. I have missed your videos, please keep them coming!

Not only is this a very helpful video in terms of what to eat but also where to eat it. I particularly liked the stops at Kau Kee (beef brisket noodles) and Oi Man Sang (clams in black bean sauce).

[@hongkongfoodtours]

Love this video. Very helpful on picking the places we want to go to and food to try when we go there. Thank you Virgina, you have a wonderful personality :)

Thank you for this! Very thorough in explaining things with a great personality, while staying true to the culture! 🇭🇰

[@cscratchy5126]

caught your colab with Trevor, don't miss having to wash dishes in tea before you eat. Beef Brisket egg noodles was my go to dish for comfort. Claypot rice we use to get a pot of boiling water to add to the pot at the end finish off the dish. Back in the 70s and 80s, I remember when we had many HK cafes open up back home Ice Coffee with red beans. We had the clams back home too.

[@MeganJacques]

You got me all excited to try all these foods all over again! More videos pleaseee

I just checked your channel yesterday and figured you were probably done with KZbin. This was a nice surprise.

Hi Virginia, your guide for hongkong has been very helpful. Thank you for that. If i see you on the street, I’ll make sure to say hi! 😊

[@jimwoo9552]

Some suggestions: -Egg waffles: gai-dan jai and gak-jai beng ($12-$25) -Dragon Centre food court: 4 scoops of ice cream for $12 -Cheap eats: 2 dishes with rice platters (~$30-$38) - takeaway mostly -Personal favorite for beef brisket noodles: the Hong Kong Jai chains, best meat to noodle ration $35-$40 -Hainan Chicken with oil rice: many places to choose from -KFC for the portuguese egg tarts -Nam Kee chain - good value. I think the 'kitchen sink' is under $60 (a smorgasbord of ingredients)

Amazing! Thanks for sharing =)

That all looked good to me. I haven't been to HK for 10 years so I'm looking forward to eating many of these when i return next year, particularly the claypot rice.

Absolutely love beef brisket (( absolutely must be tender )) Delicious French Toast with coconut jam / peanut butter. Wonder if I hunted for it enough. I could find it for breakfast, even lunch. WOW they have sprite, never new that until know. 2 cans please? Satay looked mighty yummy and delicious. Choose your own adventure noodles bowl, mine absolutely would be beef brisket, pork and crab (( if available )) looks yummy and delicious the 1 you had. Despite I would feast on 1 of my favorites egg tarts. Tasty clams.Such a yummy and delicious Video and Outstanding Job.

[@jonnel13]

wait Im so confused. why were you washing the dishes? and why is the water so brown?

[@MelvinSimKH]

It’s a holdover from back when the hygiene standards aren’t as high and this is to be doubly sure you have sterilised your utensils. These days, it’s just because it’s become tradition. As for the brownness, it’s because it’s not water, it’s tea.
