[@riaki01]

I'm a simple guy. I see a lucas video, I instantly watch.

[@CakeForAllAndEveryone]

[@riaki01]

@ that's a kpop idol my bro.

[@CakeForAllAndEveryone]

I apologize and retract my comment

[@lj6oleh]

I died when he said Lucas is such a westerner🤣🤣

[@Adcmd19]

Bon appetit is so lucky to have Lucas as such a key ambassador to this channel.

[@monzorella1]

Let's hope they don't make the same mistake like they did with Shola 😂

[@alfdlgnaat]

@@monzorella1 that nerd was insufferable and an opportunistic egomaniac

[@Dee-jq2ob]

Give Lucas his own show

[@MrJayJamz]

Isnt this his own show?

[@romulus_]

he should partner with a better media company. bon appetit really shat the bed.

[@knlei1]

@@MrJayJamz technically yes "Street Eats"

[@rainzerdesu]

@@romulus_ there aren't many that has the money to fly him to different asian countries and then get him hard to get reservations like 8 seat sushi restaurants limited to locals

[@romulus_]

@@rainzerdesu it seems that independent channels like best ever food review show are able to do it

[@TheJacobyong]

Lucas: "first time I came here with a bunch of chefs they were making fun of me" Chef Chris: Proceeds to make fun of him" 8:47 LMAO

[@fromdaphne]

The love and pride Lucas has for Hong Kong is next level - and yes, shacha and soy sauce provide the perfect base for a delicious hotpot adventure. MORE LUCAS!!!!

[@008Mamoru800]

This has to be one of the most authentic experiences put on film… Thank you!

[@Callmethedrink7]

Only authentic Chinese hot pot is in Sichuan every other Chinese hotpot copies sichuan hotpot

[@jjiang7488]

@@Callmethedrink7 sichuan hotpot is lowk kinda mid

[@gondirtin]

properly lolled when the chef/owner criticized lucas on how he formed the meatballs! easily the best show on food YT rn

[@chauchau0825]

Kudos to everyone who doesn't know what JJ means in Cantonese

[@v000000000000v]

[@apqodgs]

Hker here. Should we reveal to them? LMAO

[@gatshi4]

Tell us bro

[@vincenthuaweitien]

It's Jiu Jitsu. 😝

[@thecrazyferret1853]

The big D!

[@DoJoStan]

Lucas, auto like. Please please keep doing these. It has been so consistent! 7:47 The "sommelier" coming out with multiple bottles of wine 😂😂

[@MrVovansim]

I thought at first, that they ordered all that, haha.

[@sucheng]

The sommelier!!!!!!

[@jackyyai1195]

He was actually a somm in 2 stars Michelin restaurant.

[@warilban]

I'm down for some Cuvee le Grand JJ🤣🤣🤣

[@mon6745]

The dudes that run this restaurant are sooo cool 😊❤

[@ppbbffaa]

Love the workers here, dresses so traditionally, but friendly and that French pronunciation is not bad.

[@dogoku]

This is one of the best Lucas videos because he is getting roasted by his friends and he is still trying to play it cool and explain what's going on 😂

[@madchesterstonerose]

Most chaotic episode with Lucas. 😂

[@pus03]

😅

[@readyroe7161]

i love the chemistry of the whole video especially when lucas poured his heart out in saying he got made fun of when he came with other chefs of how he did the "balls" for hotpot. lol

[@dipati86]

He is showing (teaching) us how to mix the base condiment sauce... , so convincingly but end up adding ALL the bloody ingredients in the tray LOLx.... This is gold.

[@vzdsvszdvzsdvzdv7963]

facts tbh i almost clicked off the video when i saw that 🤪

[@dreiDG]

02:31 Listening to Lucas talking about nice and bouncy balls was so enjoyable🤣 Lucas talking about food in Hong Kong is top-tier content!

[@jondoeami]

LUCAS + HONG KONG = 💯❤‍🔥

[@ajamyunus4328]

See Lucas : auto view

[@truct77]

Lucas should travel the world and do content like this, I would watch all the time

[@samuraijack8435]

love the server and owner, looks like 80-90s jackie chan movie crew lol

[@noodler7764]

we like lucas we like hong kong

[@trigganometry168]

Thanks Lucas! My list of must try restaurants in HK is growing

[@donnahuang5567]

This is how I grew up eating hot pot - a bunch of friends hunched over a boiling pot of soup. I get so sad when I go to a hot pot restaurant and get served an individual serving of soup.

[@Hello-ok9hq]

Do you stick the chopsticks that u eat with in the soup when putting in and taking out food? Do the rest of your friends put the chopsticks in? Just wondering never been to one

[@RandomGuy-ghs]

@@Hello-ok9hq You can always ask for a pair of public chopsticks, for each person even, but most people don’t care, and sharing everything is def a result of close relationship.

[@ckh.joseph]

​​@@Hello-ok9hqClose friends and family just dunk their own chopsticks in directly. If it's with your colleagues/boss or just normal friends, definitely with a pair of shared chopsticks, or else it's rude and "unhygienic" (who knows where their mouth's been) It's also very common to have "cooked" and "uncooked" chopsticks to not let our eating chopsticks touch raw meat/food.

[@vampyricon7026]

​@@Hello-ok9hq You *are* sticking the chopsticks into boiling water. There wouldn't be a germ problem if that's what you're worried about.

[@jw6451]

there's both communal and individual hotpot, no need to be dramatic and "get sad" other more choices

[@chengzhang1395]

@2:41 Fun fact: The Chinese character for "umami" (Cantonese 鮮 / Mandarin 鲜) is intriguingly formed by combining the symbols for "fish" (鱼) and "lamb" (羊).

[@jw6451]

i think you meant traditional / simplified?

[@enniswong7542]

Hong konger here, i really enjoy your video a lot

[@jasonspencer9188]

What would this show be without this guy.... Fantastic!!!!

[@brianblades6177]

Lucas makes the best videos. i always get excited when a new one drops. please never stop!

[@danartriatmojo]

"you're such westerner" LOL

[@Peachlover345]

I click because of Lucas

[@LOVER_LINK]

they way he pronounced the wine 😭

[@eofalassion]

Cuvee la grand Jayjay!

[@nancychen5205]

Lucas的视频让人看不够，喜欢你对食物的见解与渊博知识。最后那股对香港的自豪感让人很感动。这个寒假准备带女儿去香港玩，有机会一定要去尝一尝Big JJ Seafood Hotpot.

[@kacymah93]

Lucas + HK = chef’s kiss

[@deadcai]

9:38 honest 😂

[@dimsumyen4034]

Thanks Lucas for another interesting video! Like you, HK is my favourite place in the world as well. ❤😂

[@1982blvd]

He articulates everything on point as always.

[@oahuisparadise]

Thanks for the science; I actually understood (to an extent) what you said about making the lamb/fish balls.

[@SquirrelWizard22]

Awesome video! Thanks for bringing us along.

[@joddy574]

Lucas is the best

[@bettsboo]

[@BobSlowly4Me]

That restaurant was dope! Definitely on my list for my next trip.

[@strawboy1230]

This dude is one of the few youtubers who actually knows what he's talking about. Puts all the other asshats to shame.

[@prim34ev]

Appreciate the research that went into this was it was stellar

[@tonyk1234]

Shorty switched seats to be out of the shot.. Just to be in the shot again 😅

[@ToniWongCIM]

Nice to watch. Would love to watch his own travel videos 📹 more often. Especially sharing HK histories of HK

[@JN-fd5lg]

I said it before, his hands are gonna fly off with all those hand gestures.👐🏼🙌🏻👐🏼👐🏼🙌🏻👐🏼🙌🏻👐🏼🙌🏻👐🏼

[@salairyu]

I wish Lucas will visit Taiwan soon to feel the variety of Sacha hot pots as well as beef hot pot (I strongly recommend to visit Tainan🙂

[@paul41305]

As long as you are introducing the hotpot, you must pay a visit to Taiwan to introduce some of the dope hotpot such as beef hotpot in Tainan or Shantou hotpot in Kaohsiung!! Please come, Lucas!

[@SC2noHope]

今日正好打邊爐，順便睇下片

[@dailydoseofhope391]

the lady behind was really beautiful

[@cameronwick]

The energy in that restaurant cannot be beat!

[@TJ-yj7oz]

You know he’s a true pro when he add broth to his sauce

[@TheLOLpl0x]

how can he say big jj without smerking just a little? 😂

[@maggiechan33]

Yes, Lucas, MORE made by Hong Kong people, for Hong Kong people, in perpetuity.

Legendary video. Shout out all the food nerds.

Crazy place, dishes looks amazing and well thought of. Not to mention the Cuvee Le Grand JJ, great bottle.

[@jaykomthongpane4941]

Lucas, you should make videos cooking the resturaun'ts recipes. Show us how it's done.

[@TJ-yj7oz]

Thank you for promoting hk restaurant

[@jabin4175]

wish this guy had his own youtube channel where he travels the world

Will stop by on my next trip to HK, for sure

[@mfshill]

Would love Lucas to take us out for food in Hong Kong!

[@Carebear75983]

I wanna gooooooooooo!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this realistic experience!

[@matthewsuarez6874]

GIVE LUCAS HIS OWN SHOW NOW !!!

[@njchang]

Sa cha and soy sauce is how I like to start my sauce base. 👍

[@geistlingster]

i hope he gets his own channel

[@georgewbushcenterforintell147]

I worked for Taiwanese chef and had some language issues but sometimes I just understood. He was showing me how he wanted me to cut the chicken up and he tells and shows me " cut ah chicken like this make it longer , you understand the logic? ".

[@Cyrribrae]

That's a small and very filled pot for a lot of people haha. But this is the hotpot experience (through the lens of Taiwan as seen through Asian American eyes) that I know and love. Shacha and soy is indeed the base of my sauce (plus... a raw egg...)

[@STEVENCSF]

Should not only me feel so honor when lucas said `make by hong kong people, make for hong kong people`

[@andreat7967]

absolutely fire

[@wakakaforever007]

For hotpot beef, maybe you need to go to Chiuchow for that spirit you have mentioned.

[@janis1981]

This guy can talk with his hands🤌👌

[@omiomardreamer0929]

Yes Lucas

[@Mr.JavsOfficial]

So amazing. 👏🏻

[@pakundo123]

so chaotic i love it.

[@recon12803]

my personal favorite sauce i make is peanut sauce, sesame oil, green onion, soy sauce, and crushed ginger

[@TheIronTank]

my go to sauce is soup broth, mountain of garlic, mountain of cilantro, dash of soy and satay, top off with chili oil or chili oil with soy crisps

[@Popodogdog]

8:45 Heat spoons first that can form meatballs easily
