Hi Flora and Note, Thank you for making vlogs about Hk now, my wife is from Hong Kong and I am an ABC (American born Chinese), we married in 2017 and live in NYC. I am happy that you were able to see your family again and speak both Cantonese and English while filming, I am glad both of you are giving me some updates currently about Hk, as we are planning to return next year Good luck!

[@manaratana]

Hi Flora and Note, My wife and I enjoy watching your vlog. We are so happy that you are getting a chance to spend time with your family in Hong Kong. We love watching and listening to you speak Cantonese. My two native languages are Cantonese and Thai so it is always fun to hear both of you speaking.

[@FloraandNote]

That’s really cool! I’d love to be fluent in both … my Thai is improving but far from fluent yet 😊

If I have chance to go to Hong Kong I will try that chicken clay pot look yummy I also like the burnt rice bottom of the pot , what do you call the disc if green vegetable garlic fries next to that clay pot?

In the Philippines, that burnt rice is called tutong. When I was a kid, my grandma tells me that eating that will make me stupid. I suspect it's because she wants it for herself. 😂

[@cbyao3564]

Hi Flora, I hope you can answer a question for me. When i was a child in the 70s, HKG was a trip we would make at least once a year and we would stay in a hotel (that unfortunately is a commercial building now) on Nathan Road pretty much across from the Sheraton Hotel. When we would stay in that section of TST, one of the restaurants/cafe we used to go to in that area was also called Ho Ho. Are there a lot of restaurants in Hong Kong with this name or could the one you went to possibly be the same owners (but moved to a different location)? Thanks to both you and Note for the great videos you make.

[@FloraandNote]

Hmm I really don’t know. The Ho Ho place we went to is popular for clay pot rice? Was yours the same? I think high chance it’s just a similar name

[@cbyao3564]

@@FloraandNote Thanks for the info. Yeah, my guess was similar name too. I guess naming a restaurant "Very Good" in Cantonese could be fairly popular! :)

[@lindabuck2777]

Wow talk about ‘bustling’ fits perfect lol. Man that’s a LOT of people and would thoroughly enjoy if I was a touch younger. As always the food looks amazing and those ‘waffles’ look strange but crispy and good. Not sure about the red beans but intriguing. Dessert when funds are lacking, made out of ‘savory’ items is a challenge some done well. I’m the ONLY person on the planet hates rice pudding/bread pudding! I’ve never had sticky rice but do wanna try it to confirm or deny lol-more for you if I don’t. Have the best visit ever enjoying family. 🙏🏻❤️

[@FloraandNote]

Haha I love bread pudding 😆 I don’t know why it’s not a breakfast item as it’s just as unhealthy as pancakes and French toast haha

I don't know Flora can speak fluent Cantonese. Good to see you guys enjoy Hong Kong style food. I grow up in Hong Kong and moved to Vancouver 30 years ago. Keep coming back every year but not any more after the pandemic. I love Thailand too and spent most of the time there after my retirement.

I guess for people like you it brings joy to know that many HongKongers can never return to their beloved home because they stood up to question tyranny and communism.

Friendly reminder to everyone who are interested to travel to Hong Kong. When u are sitting in a restaurant and you are not eating, take off your mask is not allowed. Policeman will give you a ticket for no wearing mask, the penalty for one HK$5000. Also when you are in a public area without a mask(or smoking), you will get a penalty ticket. *The QR code will not be cancelled. Of cause you will get a penalty ticket if you do not use the QR code when the place its needed. Welcome to the beautiful new Hong Kong!

[@cafelate9515]

Mongkok was one of my favorite spots to hang out when I visited HK. I don't know much about entirety of HK. I was looking for cheap hotels and I ended up booking a hotel that is in a red light district. At nights there is a man selling females outside on the streets. I was like shit I can't believe I am in a red light district. During the day it was ok like business as usual. At night things change. I traveled alone and I was running back to the hotel and hopefully not get stop by. But I did see many police vans parked at corners so I am not too scared. I think they are watching them.

[@htchpg5221]

Hi Flora & Note . When I seen your guy in video in HK and ate food there, made me think about a HK style spicy noodle I used to go in there restaurant often when I was lived there . Mummy pancake is also my favorite is taste good not too sweet. Well have fun with you trip.

Its such a shame to see places like ladies market, temple Street market ect..so quiet and not so many stalls now.

Copy or counterfeit products are a serious problem in Hong Kong. Brand names are expensive because of the high rents paid by retail shops.

[@doubleeagle9722]

Great to see the vibrant atmosphere on the streets of Hong Kong in your video. Note looks so foreign to the food. i hope he enjoyed them and find them tasty. Your claypot really looks good. Note need to learn some basic Cantonese for a change .... and you sounds good in your local dialect. Hope you both continue to enjoy Hong Kong. Take good care.

[@FloraandNote]

We’re both having a great time in HK 🤗 it’s actually not too foreign to Note because he was on exchange in HK for 6 months before.

[@WushuTaz]

Awe man, I really want to hit up Hong Kong on my way back to Koh Samui from the US in a couple months. Even with the 3 day semi-quarantine, I think I'd still have a good time. If I may ask, what airline would you recommend flying from Hong Kong to Bangkok or Phuket? I've heard good things about Cathay Pacific and Emirates.

[@FloraandNote]

You should! It’ll be fun. Cathay and emirates are both good but pricier.. another option is Hong Kong Airlines. We flew Air Asia because we used our credits but we don’t really recommend it as they only have 1 flight per week.

Shoes at Sneaker Street are definitely real. NBA athletes have been spotted there, including LeBron. And Flora's correct, they shrink-wrap the shoes to protect them from getting dirty from the hundred of hands that touch them each day. There are sneaker (resale) stores in the US that do this now too.

Sneaker Street has real shoes and many of them are rare or import versions. The high quality fakes are in the street markets and night markets, like Ladies Market, but they aren't on display. For those, you have to look for the people with tablets. If they have a tablet with them and you ask nicely, they'll show you their inventory, or you can ask for a specific model and they will bring them to you within 10 minutes from somewhere else. The fakes kind of went away during the pandemic, though. When they shut the border, it made it difficult to get the products in from the mainland -- I would guess that the majority came from Luohu just over the border.
