$10 VS $200 Dumplings!! 🥟 Ultimate DIM SUM TOUR in Hong Kong!

[@davidchen3579]

Mark is my favorite food blogger hands down. Such a humble man. I love the fact that when he uses a tour guide in a city, the guide actually sits down with him and his family to eat. I’ve seen Virginia on other channels where the blogger eats by themselves while she stands off to the side. Love you Mark, keep up the great work!

[@SamieVang01]

It’s very stingy to invite a food tour guide and not have them eat with you. I like Mark because he’s always so kind and I see that on alot of his videos. What a sweet generous person he is! The other food bloggers should be more like him.

@@SamieVang01 This is all show. How you know he is kind?

[@swissfoodie3542]

I totally agree. I have been following Mark for many years, and I really like how friendly and open minded he is. Also, he is respectful of other cultures, traditions, religions etc. And very humble, even though he is very famous. I sometimes feel that he "over does" it with his "wows" and things like that. But I know many americans are like that, and I prefer it over being negative or feeling "better than normal people".

[@rtyrsson]

Yes, Mark is definitely very kind and a class act. He has more respect for the cultures and countries he visits than others. He does eat like he's starving though. lol😂😂😂

[@amandasignin2322]

I grew up in Hong Kong so I can tell Virginia is a good food tour guide. She did a tremendous job. Hong Kong is the best place for food lovers. I don't recall if there are any type of world famous food that is unavailable in HK.

[@garyowen6780]

A show with Mark, Virgina, Sonny and Calvin would be the ultimate food show !

[@ROESPLETZ]

I agree but if your not on Sonny’s level of his personality he’d drive ya crazy. Me personally I think he’s a cool dude

[@stac]

throw Mike Chen into the mix and there will be memes.

@@ROESPLETZ Just invite the Report of the Week guy to contrast with Sonny and the show is all set.

I’m going to Hong Kong this summer, haven’t been for probably about 12 years now… I’ve been recently trying to research where to go to eat, with dim sum absolutely the number 1 priority. All your recent videos is absolutely amazing for me. Thank you to you and Virginia!

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you very much, hope you can visit Hong Kong soon!

[@elizabethchin3165]

Dim sum deserves one whole video by itself. Thanks for taking us to HK to sample it. Makes me want to go now ….big portion and cheap!💕

Have to love Mark, who wears a T-shirt to a fancy restaurant as I would also. Comfortable in one self no matter what other people may think. 👍

Virginia is everything!!! I'm so glad she got to indulge! I feel like she'd be such a great friend to have. 100000% Tell Sonny to stop bullying her. LOL.

[@shannondore]

I loved the look on Virginia's face every time he reached for the chili oil. Her giggle, too, right after she said it was hot, he dips in and scoops a bunch out.😂

One of my favorite food channels for years now! Mark is literally a street food globetrotting journalist whose simple yet genuine passion for what he does transpires on every video. Makes me travel (and salivate!) every time I watch even in places I have been too. Hope one day you can do a series of videos in France! Keep on the good work, thank you so much Mr Wiens!

When it comes to food vlogs, there is nothing I enjoy watching more than Dim Sum and Sushi. Mark you have always done both so well. This one is outstanding! My mouth is watering! And Virginia is awesome! I remember her from Mike Chen's Strictly Dumpling channel. Eating Dim Sum in Hong Kong is on my bucket list, and now I want Virginia to guide me when I do it!

[@MarkWiens]

Glad you love dim sum and sushi so much, thank you very much!

[@ellalo4949]

Nowadays with all kind of factory-made dimsum, I genuiely appreciate these hardworking dimsum masters with more than 30+ experiences continue with these home-made dimsum culture, I know it is not easy to be a dimsum master, technically you work all days in the morning from 4 am til midnight, and lots of young hong kongers dont wanna work with these kinds of job anymore.

[@Vagabond_Etranger]

I don't care if anything is made by humans or robots. As long as the quality is top notch, who cares if a machine flattens a ball of dough, then put some stuffings in it, then seals it up. Your car is made by robots. As long as you have the correct ingredients & procedures, who cares who makes it.

[@chucktz469]

The first time I had Dim Sum was years ago at the Barona Casino Buffet it was so delicious I tried 2 on my first round then ended up eating close to 10 of em lol. I was hooked every since then, I even had Bao pork dumplings which is a amazing Asian treat you can enjoy with tea or Boba beverage. That shrimp had my stomach roaring to the point I was heating up my leftover Panda Express 😂. Virginia is the best food tour guide ever!! Love her expertise!! Mark definitely gets my appetite charged up every single time Haha. If you know you know, right?! Such amazing tasty dumplings on this episode especially the last review displaying fine dining versions that had my mouth watery🤤. Thanks Mark for this culinary masterpiece of Chinese dumplings it was phenomenal!! Safe travels & many blessings as always my friend!! Yum Cha!! 🥟🍮🥡🥠🍵

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you so much, cool to hear about your first dim sum experience. Hope you're having a great day!

[@eddiensw]

the 1st place Saam Hui Yaat is really a dim sum place with heart..the owners and staff always kind to elderly customers including my parents..its really a dim sum institution

[@spiritedreviewexc]

When Mark said his favorite place didn´t make it, I got kind of sad, because i Know how it feels, but then hes like ¨oh this is their sister store¨ and then i got even more emotional because in reality they have a fallowing! Also uncle laughing at him while making the dim-sum is cute!

[@Phuschia1]

Like the idea to dedicate an episode just for dim sum, it's one of my favorite chinese cuisine. Hong Kong do have a lot to offer.

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

[@ceciliac2225]

I have been following Mark eating delicious foods from country to country, city to city. Lots of these places I have visited and many places I want to go one day. Love how Mark reacts to and appreciates all culinary experiences. I really miss those holes in walls restaurants where serve the most delicious authentic dishes.

[@DonJ1973]

Virginia is absolutely one of the best KZbin HK food guides. I always love seeing creators like Mark use her expertise when they travel to Hong Kong. Glad she’s gaining more notoriety.

[@sugar.d]

She'a boring

[@bettyt157]

I am so tired of seeing her in every travel food blogger’s Hong Kong videos. I agree with the above. Her personality is a bit dull and she just says the same thing in everyone’s videos so it ends up feeling like a boring guided tour.

[@sugar.d]

@@bettyt157 exactly. I don't like watching her eat. She doesn't make the food look appealing and her constant needs to explain things make the overall vibe of the meals worse. I think the only reason she got to be the cohost was because her company sponsored Mark's and BEFRS's trips to Hong Kong. Seriously many Hong Kong people are so fun to hang out with and it's so disappointing Mark went with someone boring like Virginia.

[@DonJ1973]

@@sugar.d Who says she sponsored Mark, Sonny and other vloggers videos? Virginia’s business is extremely small and it was drastically hurt by Covid. I’ve followed her since 2019 and she struggled like so many small businesses. Mark and Sonny likely hired her and paid for her time and services, which is fair. I understand you don’t like her and that’s fine. It’s a matter of opinion. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@sugar.d]

@@DonJ1973 yea I speculated it. I have no idea who sponsored who or if it was just a collab.

I'm grateful for this videos Mark, I'm from Panama and we have a heavy cantonese culture influence, on sundays Dim Sum is mandatory and we adopted the Siu Mai as a snack on the go in every bodega store.

I appreciate Mark Wiens for finding so much of the world's cuisines to a large audience. What I don't appreciate is covering all of those diverse tastes with spicy chilis - why bother to find such fantastic foods when you cover them with the same condiment and making everything taste the same?

[@Peecholino]

1. Lin Heung Tea House (Lin Heung Lau) and Lin Heung Kui were not "sister restaurants". They were run by two branches of the same family who ended up feuding and suing each other in court. Both closed down during the Covid era. But Ling Heung Tea House has reopened for the second time recently with new ownership. 2. The USD 200 price tag for "dim sum" at Lung King Heen is highly misleading, because the menu included items like fish maw and tiger prawns. They are by no means "dim sum". If one only ordered dim sum, the price tag would maybe come to half of that. Highly disappointing to see Mark use clickbait headlines like this to get traffic and likes.
