Frankly, love the shot of the flatfish moving. You ate what he just killed and fileted. A good sign of freshness at least.

[@redbunnytail9528]

Wow. Batter on the beef cheeks. I don't know about lobster or fish, for lunch. Crispy beef cheek, fried, looks really yummy. If you're going to go Chinese, and you want the yummiest, go Cant'nese. I remember eating Chinese in the 70's, at restaurants with the poopoo platter and huge scorpion bowls. Cantonese is the authentic take on sweet n sour and hot and sour and hot and sweet, and chicken fingers. First time I ate Cantonese in Hong Kong, the sweet and sour pork was so good, but it had a cockroach in it. My sister returned the dish and the waiter came back with a steaming hot sweet and sour pork and it had another cockroach. I didn't want a scene and have to leave this great restaurant, so I just kept my head and eyes down and started scooping the pork onto my plate. That's how good Cantonese in Hong Kong is. You know? Cockroach? The food is so good, it doesn't matter.

[@wric01]

There is a reason why it's not greasy: bare frying vs those common fools that love using starch to deep fry/soak up oil (reusing oil to fry more that's why the starch vs a couple of times and discard with master chefs.). Master chef this level have total control of the oil not too much not too little.

It looks like you had a truly luxurious and delicious lunch in Hong Kong, with lobster, wagyu beef cheeks, and flatfish on the menu. $270 is definitely a splurge, but it seems like it was worth it for such a special meal. Thank you for sharing your culinary experience with us!

I went here and when i got the bill even the paper was battered and fried 😂😂😂

[@aidkik580]

The smoke coming off the receipt was fresh from getting burnt on the price, I mean I can flip a burger 35 times in style while it cooks n throw some seasoning on too but nobody's gon pay me 100 bucks for it

[@mrgreen4688]

how do they have water and boiling oil so close together and it doesn't explode,,, ?

[@rickencai]

the color of the oil is so pure as if the lobster was "boiled" in water

[@AntonioMacellaro-zy3mo]

Grazie

[@jakerson181]

For that kind of money, they couldn't even give you the other half of that Lobster tail? Cold blooded, man. "Can I have both beef checks?" "Nah dude. We'll give you one slice from each but since we like you, we'll throw in a 3rd slice. Enjoy."

[@pawnismightier9953]

This is real gourmet Cantonese food. $50 fried rice is still just fried rice to many, but this could be eye opening for those who've only had the bastardized versions of Chinese food in other countries. And no, all that oil doesn't make the dishes greasy.

[@sultanabran1]

is it $50HKD?

[@pawnismightier9953]

@@sultanabran1 Based on Aden's previous video, I think it was US$50 if I'm not mistaken.

[@mrdude88]

@Pawnismightier I agree with you, Chinese chefs in America only make bastardized Chinese food regardless if they are first generation citizen. Simply by moving to America, they lost the ability to cook real Chinese food.

[@niltonguillen4095]

Vete a la mír

[@jakerson181]

You think these Michelin starred restaurants in Hong Kong invented fried rice and every place else is a bastardized version? Where do you think all those chefs in other countries are from and learned to cook anyway? It's fried rice. It's a simple dish. Rice, egg, a few veggies, maybe a bit of soy and/or Oyster sauce and the protein of your choice if required. The only thing that's eye opening is how similar their cooking technique looks to every other chef I've ever seen making Cantonese dishes.

[@paulie2641]

He could yao the fish filet in hot oil before or after he fried the fish bone. But, he chose to do separately. The high end Chinese food needs a lot of unnecessary steps. It is fun and amazing to watch.

[@putingadaofu4979]

This is not a superfluous and useless step, it must be operated separately, because the oil temperature requirements are different, and the water content in the oil is also different.

[@tokidoki9116]

Just stay with burger, 老外

[@rickchang-qt6jn]

The difference between US$3.25 McDouble lunch and US$270.00 per person premium Chinese lunch.

[@jdesirleo425]

It's the oil. He separate fried oil from new oil & flavored oil. So the food will bear it's greater distinct.
