Hong Kong Food Tour: Salty Lime Soda, Beef Brisket Noodles, and Garlic Clams - Eat China (S1E3)

[@MyAura]

I agree there's def a stigma in becoming a traditional chef or cook in HK. Parents generally want their kids to be a doctor or lawyer to show off etc. to their friends

[@edotedy]

Commenting 4 years later, your mission is succesful. Went there in Dec 23, oimansang n kwankee lines were insaneeeeeee.

[@Runawaysage9]

Dai Pai Dong is where you meet up your bros, maybe after a tough day or you just want to spend some good time. Having those tasty stir fry dishes while drinking cold beer on a hot summer night is nostalgic af.

[@TomoyaKun100]

After watching this video and already watching other videos, I am very glad I was able to go to Hong Kong and try some of the Dai-Pai Dong places. I know that it is very difficult to keep them alive and I find it very disheartening since Hong Kong has so much culture and my family originated from there. I hope to go back soon and try more places that may not exist once the owners are gone and they are unable to have someone or the ability to pass on their knowledge of our culture with someone that can continue it.

[@junie136]

I have been looking forward to this! Can’t wait to check out other region too!

[@ulisesalexander2837]

you all probably dont care but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me.

[@galechow620]

I love these videos

[@im.not.typical91]

Salt and lime just naturally goes together. Its a very popular combination for Mexican candies

[@im.not.typical91]

@Wall Cutter awwe thats sweet. Thats like the nicest thing anyone has ever told me on yt tbh

[@vccc57]

It’ll be helpful if you include the addresses of the places you’ve recommended. BTW, where about is Kwan Kee beef brisket?

[@manojkothwal3586]

Tea is called " Chai " in Hindi . It's the fact that Tea originated in China and was exchanged with Indian Traders in Classical Antiquity . China calls Tea Cha and Indians call it Chai . The pronounciation has not at all changed in millennia . 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Scarsofevil]

Yeah, but in NY restaurants will charge you $1-2 dollars for "tea", and $5-6 for "Chai". Assholess

[@simona7084]

Thats really cool! Another thing that I find interesting is that in Romanian we call tea "ceai" which is pronounced basically the same way as Chai. For me it's interesting how chinese influenced the romanian word for tea even though historically there was no connection between China and Romania, however the name still stayed

[@joybrickman8552]

I enjoyed this very much. Looking forward to more of your videos.

[@Goldthread]

Thank you Joy!

[@darrellng7617]

People always ask me for things to do when in HK..I just tell them to go to any local diner, and order whatever is there that they would like to try. That's the whole experience.

[@vvangzi]

Great experience, thanks for sharing!

[@tlawaw]

I love how this is based in Tai Po

[@kylin3197]

whether or not the traditional food culture survives, there'll alway be new spins to the local food culture too!

[@Paj21Kat]

Great video.

[@theresiatjakra6385]

can't wait to go back to HK after covid over..

[@clarissagafoor5222]

Who is watching in 2021? After these past nearly 2 years these places are really suffering, if open at all! The government should do what Singapore government has done and take care of these dai pia dong and the market cafeteria.

[@mss227rose6]

The food looks delicious! Want to cook just like those chefs!🤗🤗

[@Bear-cm1vl]

Clarissa, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! May the round moon bring you a happy family and a successful future. 祝福中秋佳节快乐，月圆人圆事事圆满.

[@wonhome2711]

Great job.

[@charlotteha7702]

Love this video! I'm Canto and I love Canto food!

[@maggiechan33]

Cantonese Food is the BEST Chinese Food. Even Peking Duck is eaten with Cantonese Hoisin Sauce.

[@jennywang5826]

Been to hongkong many times...enjoy the clubs...concerts..food is amazing...i really e enjoyed hongkong plus shopping..haaaa

[@gavinchongcy]

Hi, Could you help a fellow traveller out by putting map links for the locations of these venues shown in the videos? Thanks!

[@garlicgirl3149]

Are there culinary schools around? Make students train with the small restaurants as apart of their courses. Another option is to start apprenticeship for those who may not want to go to school. Train them and help the families continue the business. Just trying to think outside the box.

[@VWYL900802]

apprenticeship is the way to go. It's the family structure and seeing the changes of the city and the people dynamics is the whole experience. Modern HK since post war has always been just a big gigantic social structure experiment. And all the HK cafes and restaurant overseas are like another social structure experiment that's constantly evolving to adapt to changes and policies in the local area. You see Chinese restaurant overseas evolve to accommodate the commercial needs of the locals. Chinese food is not something to standardize, it's all a regional kind of thing developed locally so culinary schools don't really match up to the family feel to the business. it's just gonna be a hodge podge of "posh" Chinese food to franchise. Not HK local cuisine. You see the difference of food that's franchised by corporations vs family based dynastic approach to the restaurant business.

[@bangladeshiamericanmum5021]

Oh lots of food items. I love eat too.

[@zrazghost]

she is so pretty

[@thanhquanky]

3:55 is she cleaning chopsticks with hot water?

[@tsui1024]

Common practice in street stalls. The restaurant does wash them but the locals don't trust it so we pour hot tea or water over them to "wash" them again.

[@ivysn13]

man its chinese diaspora bc vietnames people have salty limeade too when its from hong kong immigrants who had their salty lime soda and fleed heavily in saigon and other parts and like with many viet foods

[@ivysn13]

@A L thats true! theres just too many to name and they need that documentation. i got viet friends trying to persuade me pha lau is a viet dish never chinese and other ones like chinese carrot cake

[@ivysn13]

@A L yuppp also viets wont admit it but chinese dai ethnic group are today's present Vietnamese and yeah i got cousins who are chinese who only say they are viet and cousins in Cambodia too.. kinda bummed out but nothing i can force its their personal voice and urge to learn and know that

[@ivysn13]

@A L omg i adore what u have been saying usually people would like go at me and all whats UR INSTAA

[@bobbymoss6160]

Ashley is cute.

[@red_light_3937]

I hope you’re ok with your stance on the issues surrounding Hong Kong🇭🇰& China🇨🇳 rn~

[@only1cookiemonster]

You can get all of whats been shown here in kuala lumpur

[@caimaccoinnich9594]

The CCP will try to kill this food culture and that makes me sad.

[@AJ-zg5xxw]

That is real cute to pretend you care about our food culture.

[@gabrielng5315]

That is so true, they like to send droves of migrants here to wipe out HK’s culture in all aspects

[@AJ-zg5xxw]

@@gabrielng5315 I know right. It is terrible we HKers can not feel superior any more. That is so sad.

[@andro7862]

@@gabrielng5315 Hong Kong culture was founded by an amalgamation of mainland migrants. To say immigration is going to wipe out HK culture is like saying drinking water will make you thirsty. As for the guy who thinks the CCP (which doesn't rule HK) will ban food...I have no words.

[@verstone2486]

best place for tear gas a la carte?

[@joohhj5809]

not funny

[@calvyncraven1141]

Since when Kaya (coconut spread) is part of HK culture? That's Malaysian and Singaporean food and culture

[@yeetusfeetus713]

Ya bro

[@troutstalker4744]

I think she merely just stated that there's a layer of Kaya spread in the toast and is not trying to steal or take credit that Kaya is a hk thing. Maybe you are a bit too quick on the trigger.

[@abnvs1551]

Hong cong is no more china...

[@calvyncraven1141]

You are right. It's one of the special administration regions IN China.

[@shashinthaperera1171]

Hong Kong is not China

[@joyjoyoo]

Did yellow zombies came over? Why the dislikes

[@BenjiSun]

naai cha... lai is lazy tone. (奶 - naai1)

[@gabrielng5315]

You got the title wrong. it’s eat Hong Kong. very insensitive title considering the political climate now

[@teasea546]

What climate? Hong Kong is recognized by the EU, UK, US, Japan and virtually all countries as part of China. If anything, Mike Pompeo said the US will no longer recognize Hong Kong's autonomy from China and will treat Hong Kong the same way as how they treat China in terms of trade. People like you are just butthurt.
