Best Hong Kong DIM SUM TOUR - Cheapest Michelin Star Restaurant!?

[@BomberFletch31]

Hi Eric and Allison, just a few pointers: Vermicelli rolls = rice flour rolls. They're one and the same thing. In Hong Kong, Vermicelli are thin noodles made from rice flour. You get lots of different fillings, but my favourite would be dried baby shrimp, for that shrimp flavour and firm texture. Fried "carrot" cake can sometimes be translated as "turnip" cake, or radish cake on the menu. Technically, "radish" is more correct - they are made from Chinese radish, which are actually quite different to the radishes you might find in your supermarket. The "carrot" translation comes from the fact that in Chinese, a Chinese radish is transliterated as "white carrot". Stuffed peppers are usually stuffed with a fish paste. They're also one of my favourites, personally. Did you end up trying wonton noodles in soup? That's pretty much Hong Kong's national dish, if I may say so myself :) I remember Mark Wiens tried it in a video once when he was in Hong Kong. The broth is very rich and flavourful, unlike the macaroni in soup you had earlier.

I so love all your videos! It's a rainy, nasty few days here in Delaware so just going back rewatching them. As I watch, can't help but think my god..when you two are old and grey you'll think back and high 5 each other saying " life well done "..😊👍

[@AussieAngeS]

I love dim sum it’s so good 😍 everything looks fabulous guys. My kitten would be meowing and trying to scratch out of that back pack capsule lol

[@NomadShifu]

Would love to try this Dimsum Restaurant when in Hong Kong. Thank you for sharing this.

[@WheresJalex]

Heck yeah! Loving these food vids 👌

[@FoodandFootprints]

Those pork buns from Tim Ho Wan are a must!

[@limpek001]

Too sweet

[@TheBeardedVagabond]

When in Vietnam I highly recommend these 2 things. 1. Go to My Son Cham. The ruins are incredible, though sad to see what we destroyed during the war. 2. Go to the abandoned water park Thuy Tien. You are allowed to go and walk around, though there is a small entrance fee (it's just some locals).

[@thihal123]

Dim sum is meant to the shared. Almost all food ordered in Chinese style is shared family style. The dim sum is placed in the center and then you eat out of a separate empty bowl or plate. You pick the items from the plates and put into your own bowl or plate.

[@jf76]

Try the egg tarts ('dan tat') and and the turnip cake, sticky rice in lotus leaves, char siu bbq pork, roasted goose or duck, roasted pork with the crackly skin, soft tofu dessert, red bean dessert soup, wonton soup.... so many great things to enjoy!

[@stevemanners9372]

Yeah, those pork dumplings are wonderful, I have a soft spot for the custard buns too. Two that I like which you didn’t try are the fried turnip cake and steamed shrimp dumplings.

[@TurnItUpWorld]

Those 3 little cute piggies custard looked so cute but once your squeezed the custard out of the nose, that was HILARIOUS. 😂😂

[@dannysze8183]

dim sum is lovely. I live in hong kong. I like my city :D

[@skykeikoo4481]

Me 2 bro

[@Incurablecurious]

Oh my god Dim Sum in Cantonese area - ie Hong Kong you cannot of picked a better place! You guys are living the dream. I’m Cantonese Brit & Dim Sum is amazing!! It’s a shame not more western people have tried it. Amazing delicious “breakfast” Tapas Cantonese style.

[@avidd7877]

Come on! eat dim sum when it's hot!!! it's very important!!!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Alright we're sold on this Dim Sum 😍The dumplings looked delicious. We are due to get to Hong Kong soon - Anna

[@TurnItUpWorld]

Right there with ya. Save a seat for us in the Airport Lounge. 😬😂

[@ThelmaSpeirs]

your explaining really well and it makes me hungry ha ha ha

[@bettyli6635]

Both places didn't give you a small bowl to eat from??? You never eat from the communal plate.

[@lawrencebautista1]

You should have tried the shrimp dumplings and the mango sago dessert at Tim Ho Wan. The shrimps are very plump and juicy. The shrimp vermicelli roll is basically a larger version of the shrimp dumpling but with a tasty sauce.

[@TurnItUpWorld]

Definitely have to try those pork buns. Dim SUM good looking Pork buns. 😂

[@JuanNgtse]

The food in hkg is so good.

[@OriginalHandprint]

Sorry to blow your excitement at trying Michelin “Starred” restaurants guys, but you’d know if you were dining at one of the 7 in HKG! These may be in the Guide, but definitely not the level or expense like Sushi Shikon ($HK 3500 a meal)

[@pejakenovic805]

You guys had excellent selections. Dim Sum is the greatest delights in HK food industry. Even the locals will be super excited when their friends invite for dim sum dinner...

[@leoui5081]

It just kinda tastes like a fresh spring day 😂

[@TurnItUpWorld]

Ahh see Eric, I'm not the only one that struggles with those chopsticks when the food is slippery. LOL

[@elaineder8914]

All that dim sum looked so yummy. I didn’t recognize some of the dim sum because not all of them seemed traditional. My favorite is the turnip cake and the crystal shrimp dumplings. The rice rolls with the shrimp and the rice rolls with the beef are a must also. They’re usually served with either dark soy sauce or plum sauce. And you can always eat the buns with your hands

[@shamammap8054]

Dim sum did not disappoint! Great job. I’m soo hungry now 😫

[@JeffandTimmy]

An awesome guide man. Will go and try out the dimsum

[@albertguntinas1897]

I love this video, I love Hong Kong and I love the fact that those nice guys were drinking coffee and tea...!

[@Bonnie-sd7et]

Those BBQ pork buns are the ones I like rather than the white fluffy ones. I was surprised when we moved here at how sweet those crispy ones are! Think we'll try the first place you went next. The crunchy cartilage bits are good for your skin, cartilage is everywhere here! Never order 7 items, it's like a funeral! Close call.

[@MillennialTravelConfessions]

Ahhh we do love a dim sum! That looks so good! 😍

[@colleens7641]

Everything looks so delicious. I love steamed bbq pork buns and the vermicilli rolls with shrimp and/or chicken. Looking forward to watching your new adventures in Vietnam. Oh, and the kitten was so cute :)

[@roberthood9368]

A few weeks ago you posted a video where you explained the VPN service you use....I can’t find it! Could you please let me know! Thanks so much!

[@johnjang-jjessentials1132]

Normally it's radish or taro cake. They are savory and really good too. Pan fried is so good!

[@isoron]

I have had Dim Sum three places in the US- Washington DC, suburban MD and San Francisco.

[@proudasiangirl576]

Glad to see you guys trying new foods. Nice to explore without being objective.

[@janegirot1623]

Tim Ho Wan is global there’s one in Sydney, Australia

[@ashtonpaugh1189]

Am I the only one who loves these two so much that I give a 'thumbs up' before the video even really starts??

[@aWanderlustForLife]

Oh wow! Loved dim sum in Hong Kong. Can't wait to try the second place you went to when we go back. Glad you two try so many different things, I just get stuck on what I want to eat and don't venture far from that.

[@TheJulithegreat]

Is a pork bun different than hum bow?

[@rachelsirett8809]

Yay you're back !!!! Missed you

[@gingerginger999]

One of my favorite dim dum items is the bean curd roll....delicious;watercress dumpling;steamed sticky rice with sausage;durian in pastry(not the cake) but eat while still warm;har gow(shrimp dumpling). i love the rice rolls but it is a texture you need to get used to(you were calling them vermicelli);clams in black bean sauce;deep fried baby octopi...i love dim sum

[@andreacasey4454]

What’s the pen you used on your top? I must have it 😄

[@proudasiangirl576]

I think it's Tide. Just go to any supermarket aisle. It's a pretty standard item that most markets carry.

[@TheAmishGamer]

Yes!!! I remember commenting soooo long ago, after I went to Hong Kong, that I couldn't wait for you two to go to Hong Kong some day, due to the food, in some ways at least, being just a whole other level and its own "thing", so I'm chuffed that you got there :D

[@moyashisoba]

I could watch a whole video edited like the intro / music cut scenes.

[@limpek001]

When you use chopsticks, the other hand can use a spoon to support the food item or to catch falling be pieces

[@wingwong2828]

Tim Ho Wan and those types of places are nice but you NEED to go to an old fashion restaurant. It's normally just full of locals because everything is in chinese and old people but the food is amazing. Really cheap too!

[@ilovemydogs80]

My favorite dish at Tim Ho Wan is their BBQ pork buns. It's the best!

[@mrglplx]

Cool vid guys. You sure have some weird chopstick grips there tho... 🤔

[@Shelleyc1972]

Pork wontos in chili oil is my go to! Love the salty heat with the pork!! So jealous.

[@hunhunhaha]

One thing I realize is seems people grew up with western food do not have the taste bud for more subtle flavour and aquired certain numbness to some taste. Like you can hear them say tea is tea, they all taste the same. Rice do not have taste, etc.

[@TheRecipeJournal]

Wow that’s really cheap restaurant. What you just use for cleaning your shirt ? Is it works ? Seafood stuff peppers sounds very interesting. All food looks great guys.

[@laurabolton1995]

I believe she used a Tide-To-Go pen!

[@TheRindyrae]

I have never been out of the USA so I have ever had any Dim Sum other then the local asian restaurants, nothing like all the different ones you ate.

[@sherrysun6067]

hi, I am a huge fan from China, love your videos!!

[@mikeylau2830]

Dim sum me always love taro fried 🤪

[@Hei_hey]

The last place seemed kawaii fun plus nice veggie flare. Wow Chrysanthemum tea, they say . . .popular. . . summer . . . drink in SE Asia. Already slowing down just thinking of it. Helps lower blood sugar, and to increase blood flow to heart 💖 Will make skin uv sensitive ☔ so make a day of keeping relaxed and use sun shade 🌼

[@salanicus]

Oh yes, loving this foodie episode, yummy :) You two are naturals, I feel like I'm there eating with you. But maybe it helps that Hong Kong's one of our favorite stops. It always impresses me how you guys perfectly balance travel with food! Few others have this talent. And what better way to really feel a new city or country but through their food! Mark Wiens and Luke Martin do it wonderfully too. Best wishes, James and Kim Treasure Hunt Foodies

[@DropItLikeACat]

Love the video, all the food looks so delicious. You forgot to review the meat looking thing at the end, not sure what it was :)

[@MajorAddiction]

slick little day/night transition there

[@janebaker966]

I love your enthusiasm for trying everything.

[@legendarymothasthomastengt6861]

Nice 👍

[@lilyjacobs5080]

Must try the clay pots!!

[@diabeticmuscle45]

Would love to go here one day

[@treasurehuntfoodies]

My favorite foodie destination in the world!! It looks amazing and I'm so happy and excited this vlog finally came out!! ( I'm jealous in a good way too)

[@timjenkins8538]

Second!! Love you guys

[@JCNA007]

You should have tried the shrimp dumplings too! Those are always a classic!

[@bluey1610]

I know! No har gow 😲

[@katfran492]

I’m so excited to learn about Vietnam! Love your vlogs so much. BTW, thank you for the Giapo recommendation in Auckland because it was fantastic! My friends and family kept asking how I found the place ✌️

[@evalue7517]

Next time, let your tea seep longer to get more flavor. Add sauce (soy or chili) to your dim sum if it needs it. My favorite dim sum are Chinese broccoli, har gaw (shrimp dumplings) & fried tofu with eggplant.

[@laurancechoong1300]

You guys shld hav documented this at the Sham Shui Po branch. Thats the one with the tyre star. And the atmosphere and queue is worth the experience. A real HK ux!

[@rorytippett8345]

Loving your content lately thanks for not keeping it repetitive like I've being noticing in other travel channels who iam not going to mention

[@stephenhatch1907]

Just love you guys! Wish I was there...

[@zozoissookool]

i love watching you guys! y'all are so cute. actually planning to go to hong kong in a month, how long did you guys wait for a table?

[@nikmansol]

You now discovered Tim Ho wan ?

[@zee2938]

Tim Ho Wan does an excellent radish cake!

[@markjs46]

have a great flight and cool for a couple of days! Mark from Bournemouth

[@Savannah26889]

I just found your guys’ channel and I already love it! It’s a dream of mine to travel like this with my BF , I’m jealous lmao

[@dannychen2913]

The bbq pork bun, I have seen them call a pineapple bbq pork bun. cross between the two.

[@patrickbrookings]

I always munch something while watching your videos :)))

[@elenakatherinehelen]

It's midnight here in Viet Nam but it's never too late for a food vid 😅❤

[@itsnancyy21]

Yum I love dim sum❤️

[@nilobeebee]

[@beavertown2006]

The second restaurant looks much more appealing than the first overrated one.

Finally.. hurraaaaaay !

[@m.arahman6182]

@8:45 ...the shot was damn great...

[@koolcrew4043]

Pig snot dim sum, I am officially more jealous than I have ever been of a foodie vid before!!! Awesome munchies... 🤩

Pork Buns are my favorite. Also the shrimp dumplings

Those bbq pork buns and pigs with custard look amazing.Great video as always guys love the channel :) xx

[@cjarvis8873]

Omg i want to go to Hong Kong just for the food! Is it wrong to leave my fussy eating family and go on my own 😂

[@bluey1610]

Do it! Hong Kong is all about food!

[@cjarvis8873]

@@bluey1610 i somehow don't think my family would be supportive of me running away on my own haha. Will have to put it on my bucket list for the future :)

[@PaddyMan1988]

Honest speaking, you ordered six dishes but three of them are not traditional Chinese dim sum. By the way, most important part of dim sum is tea that the restaurant should offer you different kind of tea to pick, such as Pu’er, Jasmine, Oolong, Shoumei, Longjing.

[@jimmylovesbikes]

That day to night panning shot was so cool!!! Great video.

[@mikeylau2830]

Don't understand described 😭

[@josephhui1986]

you guys are so respectful, thank you.

[@xosch13xo]

Dimdimsum is my absolute favorite dim sum spot in Hong Kong!! So awesome you guys got to try it

[@travelwithus750]

Hey guys the comment I’m gonna make isn’t meant to be taken as a put down I swear because yalls content is great. I’m just hoping y’all get back to more travel videos and less food tours and places to eat etc. I always enjoy seeing places I’ll probably never see in real life and I ya met been getting that over last several months. It’s just food. But I’m just a small opinion and by all means I know u have to do what makes money, but non the less safe travels guys.

[@saskiapanter]

The bread looked a lot like Bapoa I know from Indonesia. But they steam it there. So the consistency is more like the piggiebread you had in the second restaurant. I LOVE bapoa. I have tried dimsum but I guess I never had the right one. I didn't really like it. Great video👍

[@maddonpeter]
