Kind Locals Invited Me To Try Hong Kong Dim Sum 🇭🇰

Exploring the outskirts of Hong Kong at the China border➡️ • Denied Entry To Hong K...
Dim Sum is a must-try when visiting Hong Kong!
Dim Sum is one of the food in Hong Kong that you have to try when coming to this city. You can find Dim Sum restaurants all over Hong Kong. I came to a small local place, outside the city center to have my first Dim Sum experience here in Hong Kong. Luckily I bumped into two kind locals who made my Hong Kong Dim Sum experience unforgettable.

[@dreamhk3816]

The guy didn't say that you are tall. He said you are very handsome.

[@CatherineSui-Miller]

Being an English and Cantonese bilingual myself, it cracks me up to watch the man in the MTR uniform struggled to communicate with Ken. I admire his hospitality and friendliness. A great mascot for HK! I think Ken caught on and deciphered everything quite well. BTW - the man in the blue tee toward the end of the clip called you a handsome man, not tall. Have fun for the rest of your stay.

[@simmo3730]

Myself and @undereaten_muffins loved this vlog and the friendly guys who helped him. We loved his pronunciation of 'recipe' 😂

[@CatherineSui-Miller]

@@simmo3730 Yes - his broken English is funny but I appreciate his efforts and sincerity.

@@simmo3730 KZbin subtitle says "recipe" but I think in that context, it's vegetable. We're not used to words with a lot of syllables

[@eliso5973]

They are MTR technicians, so just like the majority of HKgers, we can't speak fluent English. If you are a HKger too, you should know that already.

[@cecillee4861]

I really appreciate the MTR officer who brought you to the vegetable farm. There are some minor mistakes in his English, but he is willing to speak. His English is quite fluent. I think he can inspire many youngsters to speak in English, esp. to foreigners.

[@elizawong782]

Ken, I am glad to hear that you enjoyed your Hong Kong trip. I am very familiar with Hong Kong and Philippines and I can agree with you that the Chinese people are more reserved. Personally, I am that way too, until I get to know the person. BTW, the guy said you are handsome, he was not referring to your height. Even the lady you met at the MTR, she said you are handsome and she was not referring to your height.😊 I agree totally with their opinion♥👍 I hope you go back to Hong Kong as you mentioned, there is more to explore, the cosmopolitan side of HK, hiking, more dining etc. ♥👍

[@fionluk1425]

The uncle speaks limited English but I am so impressed by his hard work

[@gigilam8647]

Hi Ken, Welcome you! The 2 MTR officers are very friendly to share you dim sum and show you around the place. I recommend you to eat “cheung fun”, “siu mine” and fish ball, these are all famous street food in Hong Kong.

[@sinakim38]

Oh man you are so lucky, the two MTR (subway system) guys are very nice, helpful and willing to share you about the HK culture❤❤❤. and the waiter didn't say you are tall, correctly said you are handsome. Ken Abroad to Hong Kong🎉! Welcome to Hong Kong🎉!

A super good choice for your first DimSum meal in HK, and as a local HKer I am so glad those 2 gentlemen were helpful, otherwise you must be so lost in that restaurant as everything is self-serviced. Enjoy your trip in Asia and hopefully you will come back to HK again the next time.

19:02 the man say " wah hou leng cai wo " mean " wow you are so handsome "..😊😊😊

[@user-qx9vw6xq8h]

Dear Ken, We live in Belgium and started watching your vlog about Phu Quoc, and as HKG is also on our next trip, we wound up watching this one too which actually made us feeling hungry :) Such a pleasure to finally see honest straight forward reports (which is what really interests us) instead of the usual (too) smoothly edited Instavideos... What strikes us the most (and that is also how we brought up our two daughters 28 and 30), is that you are such a "loveable" and respectful person with a great soul. That is certainly why people are so nice with you. We consider that as being Karma : give good vibes = receive good vibes. Your parents really did a GREAT job. Looking forward to watching more of your great vlogs.

[@KenAbroad]

Thanks a lot 🙏 enjoy HKG and Phu Quoc 😊

[@jyaamein]

19:01 he said "wow you're very handsome!" hahaha

[@jessc9004]

The reason Victor was mixing the tea with the cups at first was to rinse the cup and bowl, that's a habit a lot of Cantonese people have before they drink the tea and eat, they clean the cup with tea. As weird as that may seem 🤣🤣 Lots of wonderful suggestions for places to visit already, I will add the outlying islands, such as Cheung Chau or Lamma Island. You may also want to try taking the tram in Hong Kong side, it takes you through several districts. And maybe you can try the curry fishballs and stinky tofu and milk tea as well. Enjoy!

[@katiekhor4550]

I have to say despite all the fancy dim sum restaurant you may find in central, you had such an awesome experience and very lucky to meet two cool local folks. :) and this meal literally "dim" touch your sum "heart" experience.

Hi Ken:) Hope you enjoy the trip in Hong Kong! As a local in Tsuen Wan, I think 端記 is a must-go for authentic experience for yum cha. As having meal here are mostly self-served, it may be a little bit confusing at first but it is fun overall, like picking the tea by oneself, enjoying the cool and fresh air in Tai Mo Shan and having talks with nice locals. And the dim sums they serve are more traditional than the ones down the hill too:) I also like how the nice MTR guy wash tea cups bowls and utensils. My granny asked me just to dip my finger into hot water and rub the rim of cups and bowl when I was a kid and I keep doing it. The guy saved me from burning fingers lol.

The older ladies' first words were 'you are leng chai', which means you are handsome :-) exactly what the man was saying to you when you came back from outside in this vlog (19:00).

I knew this couple years ago before i left Hongkong. The guy is American he was teaching at the Chinese University of Hk (ur favorite hangout in the outskirts of the city, very picturesque). The renumeration is great, he made much more in HK teaching than his counterparts back in the States. Tax rate is low, n he got housing assistance which is a big deal in HK. Later he married a local Chinese girl n life is happy ever after ❤😊 After watching a couple of ur videos u come across as an easy going person, down to earth, not quite like the average tourists who wanted brand name shopping n clubbing at Lan Kwai Fong . It's not easy to embrace another culture, i was genuinely impressed when u drink that snake soup. I have this American friend who literally collapsed at the table after being told it was snake meat in his soup, he thought it was chicken 😂 Have u considered securing a reaching career in Hk? Say teaching German?
