Hong Kong's Legendary Late Night Dim Sum Spot | Street Eats | Bon Appétit

[@donovanwest2712]

The way this guy talks about food gets me so excited about it. Like I want to book a flight to Hong Kong just to try all this stuff for myself

[@FTWciaran]

Me too

[@HuyV]

Just do it

[@kl5792]

Lucas got a knack for this. Amazing!

early in the morning everyone else around the table is looking like they're still tryna wake up, staring into blank space *meanwhile Lucas* : these specific types of amino acids create this symphonic effect

It's Alive ended???

Was just about to comment how Lucas is carrying bon appetite now

i hope BA is paying him better....

Shoutout to Lucas for being an ambassador of Canto culture in the West!

[@jiaxinxu6845]

Hong Kong no long has the standing to represent Canto culture, culinary or otherwise.

He is so correct in both the academic and the colloquial ways, so articulate, and just extraordinary !!!

[@pollyso__]

I just can’t get enough of this HK series with Lucas! Really do hope this never ends 😂

[@pokerpariah]

3:00 You might wonder why he's tapping on the table while the tea is pouring. Having lived in Hong Kong, it's the way they thank the person pouring the tea for them. You pour the tea for your elders / friends before you pour for yourself.

[@mzou89]

Story goes, the emperor was traveling incognito. One day, at a stop, the emperor got up to pour tea for everyone. They wanted to get up and bow for him, but because the emperor was traveling in secret, they could only tap their fingers on the table as if they were bowing with them. The rest is history.

[@Sampson989]

I watch so many food vloggers but noone speaks about food the way Lucas does with detail and history. Often they just stuff their faces and just talk about the taste of what they’re eating. Lucas needs his own food show 👍🏼

[@ArielK1987]

Dim Sum is like Ice cream. No matter how much you have. You'll always want more.

[@chm0225]

The fact that I know many of the staff of this restaurant shown in this video because I live nearby (Kennedy Town) and I would occasionally visit this dim sum restaurant to have the Siu Mai, beef balls, fried milk etc. gives a special feeling to me.

[@ItsDameTime]

The best thing that happened was Lucas as the Host of this. His way of explaining the tone and all the choice of words are what made it all 💯

[@YouTubaba]

Lucas is the best host! he is so passionate and makes everything feel so delicious and amazing! Got to try the lava buns when I visit this fall.🤩

[@kitning7390]

I like how Lucas speaks so fast trying to pack all history, theory and stories of the food he introduce, really feels his passion for HK cusine! There are also other late night dim sum in Tai Wai, but this is really historical and authentic grass-root dim sum place

[@jasonzhang3565]

Lucas is so talented. Love the way how he explained everything that western audiences can fully appreciate while capturing the essence of the culture. Great videos!

[@rachellam4471]

he’s so knowledgeable on everything. the way he talks keeps ur attention and the energy throughout is so infectious. great host honestly shoutout lucas :)

[@bani_niba]

It's very appropriate that Hong Kong food culture takes over Bon Appétit. It's the best food ever.

[@Alice_Walker]

Absolutely adore listening to Lucas talk about HK watching him eat and cook. Such a great teacher!

[@katiewong1547]

I'd happily watch an hour of Lucas breaking down the different dim sum dishes, since there are so many, and have so much history behind them.

[@sulis7997]

So amazing these HK people.. At 3 am they go for dimsum.. And salute for the seller that already senior people but still very energetic making dimsum.. Two thumbs up

[@Angie-zy5cc]

As a half asian with a Hong Kong mum, yum cha has been a big part of my life!

[@Joyce-mz4zn]

An interesting fact about this place is that its near the University of Hong Kong! Student dormitories normally have hall activities until late night so its a tradition for them to have morning tea “早茶” afterwards! Most HKU students probably has eaten here before 😂

[@hazel449]

yes! lots of HKU hall residents and post-LKF clubbers here at 3am, followed by the uncles reading newspapers as the sun rises

[@Iyraw]

Was looking for a HKU comment once I saw 3am dim sum lol

[@crunchety505]

Yep! I came here many a time after a night of drinking while studying at HKU!

[@okkokooks8897]

Can some one twll me the name of the place so I can save it on Google Maps for future travels?

[@hazel449]

@@okkokooks8897 it’s Sun Hing Restaurant located in Sai Wan, HK

[@YodlingZeek]

I used to go here nearly every week when I studied in HK around 15 years ago. So happy to see them still going strong, many many great memories of it. Had my first (though not last by any means) chicken's feet there, along with many other amazing yum cha I still think about now.

[@Greydeaf]

More of Lucas. Watched a lot of his stuff. Very well mannered, explains things so simply.

[@sophiaisabelle027]

This channel will go down in food history as one of the best. They're the best at everything they do.

[@garfieldcouch4443]

With the cleansing and replacement of the 1st generation of chefs as a weird footnote.

[@lyrixel]

​@@garfieldcouch4443yeah, that's why i stopped consistently watching its alive :(

[@lemonhaze1506]

Best at discriminating against minorities too 😂 BA is dead ever since that scandal, but Lucas is singlehandedly keeping this channel alive

[@MsGscoot]

Love this series with Lucas. Showing some super cool HK food culture. Every episode has been a must watch!!!!

[@soliddoublebogeys]

Lucas' passion for showcasing Chinese food is nothing short of inspiring. Keep it up mate!

[@Bettyish]

I could listen to him talk about food all day long. He's great for this channel.

[@eskimofo9i6]

❤🤌👏👏👏 Lucas' enthusiasm and able to express,analyze,give history is on another level! Keep him going!!!

[@luplew1444]

Finally, A true cantonese foodie. Bravo!!!

[@lcc726]

OH EM GEE....Lucas is baccckkk!! so excited to see him do another collab w/Bon Appetite on a side note: he ordered all my favorite dim sum dishes😋😋

[@operag2649]

Lucas is awesome! Makes me want to go to HK and try all those places he has been featuring!

[@vendetta8022]

I really enjoy to see Luca's video. He always have passions and I can tell he actually enjoy all foods. Not as a food journalist, but as a normal customer like we the normal people.

[@alwayssssummer]

This is the first time I learned that Dim Sum means whatever your heart decides, and I love it! My Chinese teacher just taught us that Dim Sum means snacks which always made me wonder how heart (sum) related to snacks.

[@harkejuice]

Everyone loves to hear Lucas talk about food!

[@KillenEMsoftly]

Lucas is the goat. Hong Kong is amazing

[@haytayx3]

Thank you for giving Lucas the spotlight to highlight HK culture!

[@LJunction]

cleaning the utensils with boiling tea (not warm) gives me a nostalgia overload I have almost forgotten! Great video Lucas

[@OptimusWombat]

This is the style of dim sum I love. It's comfort food for me. I don't care at all for the fancy froo froo stuff.

[@tenpointcorner]

Captions are entertainment in themselves. Particularly fond of [Host respectfully chuckles] and [Host savoring]

Been watching Lucas a while - keeps getting better.

[@ohmygache]

Haven't been excited about BA since the mass exodus but Lucas has renewed my interest. Very engaging!

[@aiaidodo100]

Was recommended this place by a local when I went to Hong Kong couple weeks ago. Can only agree with everything said in the video!! A must visit definitely 💯

[@magschan77]

All the other guys look half asleep or drunk 😂

[@Unicornxz]

Amazing amazing series with Lucas, pls never stop!! Or introduce more!! I’ll just eat it up

[@rockolutheran]

I love this guy, these videos are so cosy feeling, and HK is such a great city with many nooks and corners to hide out at which lends to that feeling. I really yearn to visit HK again

[@auggie87]

Best series BA's Ever had.

[@kiddwong4186]

I love love love these sorts of tiny small eateries in HK. Big fancy restaurants are great sometimes, but these little places where everyone's crammed in on tiny round tables and stools is the quintessential HK eating experience.

[@pangjeremy]

More of this series needed. Make it weekly!

[@melaniewong9796]

Love this series, please keep the content coming!

[@luonghuynh4513]

Lucas is the MVP.

[@fengkaijia]

6:50 fun fact, while this place is "closer to the ground", the nickname of Kennedy Town literally means head in the cloud😂

[@stacylewin-champoux3741]

All the dim sum looks so delicious, especially the egg custard boa

[@rice2cu5881]

When lau sa bao are fresh, the filling is approximately 27 million degrees. Do not joke around with that stuff. It is HOT! I have fond memories of burning my face off trying to eat them.

Absolutely love this episode!

[@lisanguyen6740]

[@goldenducky12]

the finger tapping for pouring tea, classic

[@mellow-jello]

Testing dim sum in the 70-80s was surprisingly the Siu Mai, as it was the most elaborate in variety of ingredients & complexity of flavors. IMO, It, Har Gow, Cheng Fun, Char Siu Bao are my testers.

[@ktroopa]

More Lucas please

[@harvestmoon_autumnsky]

Love Lucas ... planning on dim sum soon, the algorithm is listening

[@MoChua]

The fried milk is one of the most amazing dimsum ever. Very feew can cook that well.

Fried milk! OMG, haven't had that in about 35 years. Thanks for the reminder! Great vid to hold me until the next HK trip.

the main purpose of washing your plates and bowls in wash tea is to warm up the plates so that your tea and foods stay warm longer - what I was told in Hong Kong
