Emmy Eats Hong Kong -- tasting Hong Kong treats

[@VinzJoker]

What I like about her so much is that she doesn't spit out the food and cuss like insane like some youtubers do when they do taste tests... She still respect the food as it is. =)

[@emmymade]

Hannah Fu Thank you. Food is great and deserves our respect. :)

[@RoyCoof]

+emmymadeinjapan True! :3

[@annetteokwong]

OMG EMMY I'M SO EXCITED THAT YOU FINALLY REVIEWED MY PACKAGE! Thank you so much for opening it :) My mum and I loved watching you try our local foods!

[@brb808]

i want to know, what is the brand of the milk tea? thanks

[@lubizzle8670]

I love how amazing and impressed you are by the concept of dragons beard and then 3-4 years later your making it yourself like a boss! Love you Emmy, I quite frequently go back and watch all the different playlists you have x

[@glorialamm]

the thing I admire most about your videos is how you're always willing to try new things. you're not very judge mental about different foods from different cultures because you're always intrigued to try new things. I love your videos!!

I've been watching emmy for an incredibly long time and I've always wondered when she'd do a HK episode, being from HK seeing this episode makes me endlessly happy!

[@emxxly]

I applaud the sender for selecting such a good selection of treats from HK! lived there for most of my childhood and I can vouch that I have tried and love all of these foods :)

[@atelier_rabbit]

it's amazing that Annette included so much info!! love it

[@BobbyParrish]

That's one place in Asia I have not been yet, but it's high on my list. Looks delish Emmy!

[@emmymade]

***** Thanks, Bobby!

[@bellaxfatal]

I just got a snack package from Hong Kong, myself, and it had the same Dragon's Beard candy in it!! The person that sent it to me also included black sesame and almond. I tried the one you tried, and have yet to try the others. I've been obsessed to try it since I saw a couple KZbin videos on street vendors making it! It wasn't as sweet as I thought it was going to be, but non the less, it was AMAZING! I also received a couple DIY candy kits. The pizza one, the chocolate bear puzzle, the toilet candy, and a gummi you shape into a squid. I'm so excited to make them, and I've had you, along with others to thank for that! Keep making your videos, Emmy! I love learning about exotic foods!

[@katiegarrett2080]

I love watching your videos! I could sit down for hours and watch them! I like yours specifically because you are so inelegant and well cultured! Thanks for being awesome!!

[@dewybeam5542]

Mmm, i love seaweed SO much too :) In Denmark we have these amazing seaweed snacks that are oil fried nori sheets cut into hand sized squares, and then flavored, usually with chili and ginger. They are fantastic. Easily my favorite snack

I love Hawthorn berries, in my studies of traditional Chinese medicine :) I mix it with small amounts of aloe vera, prickly pear fruit cactus & a pinch of ginger to help lower my nephew's blood sugar levels on a daily basis

[@cynthiachao7417]

hi emmy, im from macau, a city right next to hk. macau is also a SAR of china, and is formerly ruled by the portuguese. we macanese eat basically the same snacks as the hongkongers. i wish to send you some of our snacks sometime in the future! ;) xx

[@kaidanariko]

THE HAWFLAKES ARE SO GOOD! my students gave me some for Chinese New Year this year.

[@hollychristman6046]

Lol! Can I just say exactly how much I love how you say, "scrumptious" in your taste testing videos? Haha!

[@stabulouskoda834]

it is on my bucket list to try dragons beard candy it looks so wonderful

[@theuglykwan]

It's really nothing special. It's more for the novelty and spectacle if you watch them make it.

[@kittenbee2984]

You're amazing I love all your videos, no one makes these like you do ^w^

[@TheFluteplayer27]

Hi, Emmy! If you want to see the creation of the dragon's beard candy, you can just go to your local china town. They actually have vendors that sell it but the candy-makers spin the candy right before your eyes. It's a great experience and I highly recommend it. Great video too!

[@Inamichan]

Her voice is so soothing

[@geminiproject062]

Ooh I'm so happy someone sent you dragon's beard candy! I was thinking if someone sent a Taiwanese package that I hoped they'd dragon's beard candy, too, since it's common in Taiwan as well. Now you've tried it! :)

[@AkiSan0]

i love "overcooked" black tea, esp when cooked on charcoal / the leftovers of a bonfire. slowly cooking for some hours and you have non bitter black tea with any suffering on taste.

[@shane5339]

Sorry but your voice is soothing and very clear. Hehe sounds like a disney character voice. Love it

[@crsh2007]

HAW FLAKES! I haven't had those since I was a kid! I used to play with them like they were pennies, and played store with my sister lol I always thought they had a raisin-like flavour, but with a much better texture. My mom used to buy them at the Filipino store on Sundays, and that would be our treat :) Simpler times...

[@axgelbxnny]

emmy's reaction to the dragons beard candy was so cute !! ^^ I love these videos !!

[@MindlessTrillBarbie]

Great video as always so educating, keep up the fantastic videos !

[@mkong0004]

I went to a food festival in Malaysia a few years ago and saw people making dragon beard... I can imagine how much practice it requires to make it. The food is so delicate and quite messy to eat!

[@michaeld8975]

These are scrumptious looking treats to learn about.

[@comiccam907]

hi emmy! I'm going to England this summer and ur episodes on the uk have really helped :,B!! i can't wait to try all the stuff there!!!

[@leahmckeen8180]

There is a place in Montreal's Chinatown where you can watch them make dragon's beard and buy it fresh. It is soooo good. It's the thing I always recommend to people if I know they are going to Montreal.

[@cassiepouncy4165]

I LOVE WATCHING EMMY!! SHE THE PERFECT JOB : A FOODIE!!! 😋

[@ellieSmolScallop]

The little fish snack is that kind of snack you can't stop eating. You won't even realise how much you ate already. It's just tooooooo delicious.

[@arsenicqueen69]

Lumberjack Emmy forever! I love your reaction to the dragon's beard candy. You looked like a little kid at Christmas!

[@aeiol0u]

i went to hongkong last may 11, before i went there i visited your youtube page, and i try to find if you have some videos of hongkong treats and unfortunately i found nothing... so i was really excited when you posted this video... i bought some of this treats... now i have treats to share with my family and friends...

[@Ciara991x]

Emmy I love your videos so much. You are so sweet and respectful of other culture's food. Keep up the amazing videos! P.S. you always look super gorgeous. ;)

[@luckysharmsy]

My cousin lives in Hong Kong with her little family. Whenever she comes back to the states she also brings along amazing snacks!

[@DaintilyDahlia]

I love your explanations, and I love how you like all the food you eat. We would get along on that ! :-)

Excellent Commentary Emmy love your Presentation and always Happy Attitude it's inspirational Keep up the Awesome Reviews 😎😀😊

[@Monkeys8a]

In Mexicali (Baja California/Mexico) where my mom was born, salted plums are called "saladitos". I like to cut an orange in half and stick a saladito in the middle. Then, we eat the orange making sure to take a lick of the saladito each time. When the orange is gone, a lot of the salt and flesh is gone from the saladito and the remaining flesh is chewy and delicious from absorbing the orange. Try it and you may become a fan. 🍊 Also, you rock! - Virginia

[@Trinity-e4w]

I love you, Emmy! Love your food testing videos! ^.^

[@saraht8003]

I lived in HK the first 6 years of my life. These r literally legit snacks from HK

[@suddenlycrows]

Gosh those dragon beard candies looked like tiny silkworm cocoons. That's gorgeous.

[@sarahko1986]

Only 3 slices of seaweed?! The whole package would be gone with me. Lol

[@pa-tinatattoos3838]

Same!!!

[@nutellalatte7522]

I would've inhaled it xD

[@armandovegas3561]

Sarah Ko gross no offense

[@meowpowwow11]

Same here haha! I could have eaten it all in one sitting. I love seaweed, especially when it's flavored with spicy wasabi 😍

[@ferret83uk]

I'd have nom'ed the lot

[@DrBrennan]

The seaweed packets are/were a childhood favorite. Nostalgia factor..... Also I have never known the English name for whitebait. Always referred to them in Chinese. I learned something today.

[@DehM95]

I don't have enough money to eat everything I want currently so I'm living vicariously through you. Your soothing voice is great too.

[@MrHws5mp]

Nice one Emmy and Annette! I used to work for the Hongkong Bank, but unfortunately I never got a chance to visit the place myself.

[@weirdsister3]

the dragon beard candies are very famous in south korea and i had the pleasure to see how they make it in Insadong

[@gyqz]

Hey Emmy....it has been a while since I last commented on your videos but I'm sooo glad to see you're still doing these and you are still going strong! I really enjoyed this video, because I have tasted things like the seaweed and dragon's beard myself and they were to die for:-) Hope everything is very much ok with your kids and hubbie.....thank you for this video, as always!

[@spike378]

For the plum, just eat the whole thing it wont kill you. The sour taste is only there for few seconds then you eat the sweet dry plum until you hit the seed

[@ChaoSSxRiot]

OMG!!! LOOOOOVE The dragon beards!!!

[@laurenkiley5548]

You can actually find videos on them making the dragons beard. They all seem to have a script they follow and they will count out the strands of honey as they make them. It is a simple concept, but I can't get enough of watching them make it. 😊

[@GeorgieEspanol]

I love your videos! You are really good at describing the flavors! I wouldn't be able to do that :)

[@SandyMakesSense]

Your videos are my favourite and I am always hungry afterwards :D

This one with little fishes inside was very surprising to me. I'm very up to try it out.

[@theuglykwan]

In oriental countries there are a number of fishy snacks like dried squid which is similar to jerky.

[@sarahcline2084]

Hey! Just wanted to let you know that if you ever visit Montreal, Canada and go to china town, there is this small, hole in the wall vendor that hand makes THE BEST dragon beard candies ever and he makes it in front of everyone! Also they have really good bubble tea ;) It's the first place I go every time I visit Montreal so just giving you a heads up love you videos btw!

I had dragon beard candy before that were freshly made :) it was cool because they had peanut, almond, and Oreo flavored ones

Seaweed is probably one of my favourite south east Asian snacks! The ones with more salt are better (tasting, at least).

oh my gosh that seaweed made me nostalgic. my grandma would always have a huge jug of them. I havent eaten them in forever! I need to find it ):

We have another busy summer planned. Late June, I will go to the Fiber Retreat at Lake Arrowhead, hosted by Bjo and John Trimble. I hope to learn Irish Cottage Knitting as well as hang out with friends. The following week we go to Westercon/Conchordance in San Diego for a convention weekend. The GOH is Spider Robinson, so we are both excited for that! We will stay a few extra days in San Diego afterward to celebrate my 50th birthday! We will escape there before the SDCC crowds come in. We don't have plans for the rest of the summer, but will definitely not be lazing at home! Movies, museums, meeting friends will take up our weekends. Then, football season! But first, I have to defeat walking pneumonia. :-(

[@melodyhui3022]
