The egg custard tart, looks so delicious, i would buy six at a time Hong Kong,Singerpore!

[@danispenelli5470]

Wow! That pork looked delicious!! Have you found the language barrier to be a difficult part of your travels in Asia? Or do they have English available for tourists? Thanks for sharing your lives with us! So amazing! -Dani

[@Theendlessadventure]

@@danispenelli5470 IT was pretty tasty 👌😄 Language barrier depends on where you are. Big cities are more likely to have English, but it varies by country. Luckily a lot of places have pictures which helps. We also try to learn the words for the foods we like if we're spending a lot of time in a place 👍

[@aWanderlustForLife]

It is our first month as patrons so we're looking forward to the Q&A! :)

[@tlklhm]

There are 2 different types of egg tarts - the one you had is the traditional egg tart. The ones with crispy creme brulee tops (brown bits) on it are the Portugese egg tart where you can find in Macau. You can just take a ferry from Hong Kong for a day trip to Macau to try the original and famous Portugese egg tart at Lord Stow's Bakery. Also while at Hong Kong, go on day trips to the islands. I love Tai O village to try the street food there.

[@DENISMURRELL]

Portuguese egg tarts are available everywhere in Macau. So goood

[@afcgeo882]

Both are the Portuguese pasteis de nata.

[@Captally]

I was in Hong Kong several times when stationed in the Far East during 1964 - 1965 and the changes are unbelievable. I compare photos I took at the time with today's photos and videos and it looks like a different world let alone progress of a modern city.

[@ronnieip3407]

macaroni in a soup base is a comfort kids meal - you can add whatever meat or vegetable is available. i was brought up eating it. we have only recently introduced it to our children at 8 and 10 years old and they both love it.

[@alfredoortiz9250]

Love that in every place you go you guys do food tours!! keep doing it!

[@foodnazi5902]

yeah ! I agree !

[@BomberFletch31]

Ex-Hong Konger here, just catching up on your old videos. About the macaroni soup, it is usually served in a light broth (I believe it is chicken broth), but some are better than others. Traditional toppings include ham, Spam, sausage, and fried eggs. Whenever I order this dish, I'd go for fried eggs, sausage and ham - the runny yolk from the sunnyside-up eggs tend to add a bit more flavour. (As an aside, I'm not sure what kind of sausage it is - it tastes a bit like a Frankfurter, and a bit like a hot dog sausage, but I haven't been able to get it anywhere outside Hong Kong) As for the "service" you received at Kam's Roast Goose - that's pretty standard, I'm afraid. If they're a busy restaurant with lots of customers coming and going, that usually means that they're confident in their ability to produce good food, and that they wouldn't normally focus too much on making sure everybody feels at home. They'll serve you your meal of delicious roast meats and nothing more.

[@uhu597]

Listening to you two describing the food you sample cracks me up every time. Don't know why. It just does.

[@Hello_Me]

As a local, the reason why we have the clear soup macaroni with slice ham because we usually balance the taste with the stronger taste of sandwiches with scramble eggs or pineapple bun or Hong Kong style deep pan fried toast with peanuts butters and maple syrups. But thank you for introducing the real Hong Kong food. It is so interesting to see foreigners' reaction for having our daily food. The Silk Stocking Milk Tea is also one of my favorites as well, it is made by Sir-Lanka Black Tea with Black & White evaporated milk to make it smooth and rich.

[@vtim1]

Your reaction to the macaroni soup had me in tears. I’ve taken some non HK friends to HK cafes before and they’re always bewildered by the menu. Next time you should try the instant noodles with satay beef in a set with egg, toast and milk tea!

[@quantum1849]

YO!!! I always ate that when I went out to have breakfast. It's so yum yum

[@Jensophiek]

So true…❤️

[@terrh5759]

The macaroni with ham is a very tradition Hong Kong style breakfast, recommend trying the satay beef with noodles, not too spicy but very delicious.

[@NomadShifu]

The double-decker buses are pretty cool to roam around the city. How's the milk tea over there?

[@ianjones3568]

After my trip there last year, I would say the highlights are: the goose, dimsum, mummy pancake, congee as a start. I also had a egg custard toast similar to that but too sweet. Seafood and I also tried the sushi in a 7 11. I liked the prawns with scrambled eggs.

[@HungryWalker]

Macaroni soup is a must-order breakfast for Hongkongers! The original flavor is the macaroni in chicken broth soup and a topped with sliced ham. Some restaurants offer macaroni soup in different soup flavors and meat toppings.

[@BeckyJ]

Oh yum! I'm off to Hong Kong in October and can't wait to eat 😍

[@laurenb6425]

:) We would LOVE (!) to see an updated bag haul with all your clothes and gadgets and supplies again. Particularly interested in your jewelry collection, what shops you shop at, and how you travel with such lovely jewelry:)Thanks so much!!!

[@ericleszkowicz898]

Appreciate the extra editing you did on this one - super good stuff.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks!

[@BELLAPHONTOO]

Elvis Presley would've been proud of that deep-fried peanut butter sarnie!

[@Calumbo]

Literally was about to post the same thing

[@lonial242]

So smooth, B-roll is an A+. Also peanut butter makes anything better, including day old stale pizza 📷❤️👌❗️ Loni:👩🏼‍🦰&Al:👱🏻‍♂️

[@MilDarkAngel]

I'm binging over your japan/hong kong videos like crazy!!

[@journey2fifty]

Usually when I think Asia I don’t think food. But after watching all your videos it definitely looks delicious.

[@TheSmokey1523]

Those geese take a full day to prepare, it’s never cooked on the spot. Due to the time constraints they are prepared the night before and roasted slowly in vertical special ovens in the morning and hung on hooks to relax and let some of the fat drip off before being served in the afternoon and evening. There are limited amounts that can be made each day. And it’s the type of dish that no one can prepare at their own house, that’s why it’s more expensive than other dishes that can be whipped up on the spot. Because they are cooked earlier in the day, they need to warm them up before serving. The microwave merely liquifies the fat make the meat juicier before cooking. There is no need for downgrading because the microwave is used specifically for this one function.

[@firealliancenx]

I feel like you got the short end of the stick with the Pineapple Bun with Butter - if you get it with butter, the pineapple bun is suppose to be hot out the oven so the butter would melt quickly. Anyway, glad you tried all the local stuff that I grew up around!

[@FreedomStrider]

Thing is, they used condensed milk for their teas, same as Thailand because I think it was too costly to try and keep normal milk cold, so they just opted to used condensed canned milk instead - seems to work for them :D

[@Yogirliej4dee]

A lot of asians do not drink regular milk except soy milk

[@jaimefok]

The macaroni in soup is best with either egg and sausage, or egg in spam! With egg and spam is like childhood to me 😂 The egg is a must!

[@fatdoi003]

Soup macaroni is sick food for me Also microwave for roasted meat is only slightly warm up the meat so it's not cold and oily

[@Funky420Infotainment]

still a NO GO (for any restaurant). If I would have seen it, I would have left.

[@janiewindle946]

It looked like there was some "spices" or condiments on the table. i would have thrown some of that in the macaroni soup.

[@ArmyBarbie]

I love y’all traveling videos omg

[@SweetHopeCookies]

Whenever we travel we treat ourselves to a Michelin Star(s) dinner and to date a microwave and grouchy service has never been featured. That said, I would have tucked right into that food. Yum.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Yeah we definitely didn't expect it, but luckily the food was still good 👌

[@loreny7867]

Pineapple bun with butter is my all time favourite thing to eat in Hong Kong. Satay Beef noodles is another great dish to have, you'll usually see it on the breakfast menu. Hong Kong food is amazing because it's influenced by so many cuisines, especially the English and other provinces of China. Definitely hit the streets of Mong Kong and have street food like offal, it's much loved by locals.

[@chanisteph1943]

I love your channel . Very inspiring for me to travel and share with KZbin my experience. I would love to one day visit Hong Kong. Excited to see more.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks! Hope you get to visit soon. It's a crazy city!

[@sem86314]

Hey Eric, Way cool fx edit at the beginning of today’s vlog (fast motion up to Allison)! Raising ye ole edit bar once again. Can’t wait to see what creative edits you think of next.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks! Glad you noticed 😄 We try to spice things up when we can 👌

[@AussieAngeS]

The food looked wonderful, yum right about the microwave ya the end though, that was disheartening to see

[@arielzshell]

The pineapple bun has the thing on top where are you described as the sugar cookie but those things are actually made from pineapple juice I don’t know if you taste pain apples in it

[@floretaliu2596]

Macaroni soup with luncheon meat and egg, definitely. Or even ham and egg. Just anything with an egg, the egg always takes it up a notch. But also, like someone else said earlier, satay beef with macaroni is up there too.

[@janetotolau]

How long have I waited for this day! Pineapple bun is my weakness for cravings no matter where I am😍 incredibly engaging vlog thank you so much! Now I miss HK just a little bit more😋

[@CrazyCanadianMofo]

I worked in a number of restaurants. A lot of them didn't have microwaves. It changes the flavor of the food for sure. One restaurant we used a merry chef which is similar to a high speed oven.

[@japnuts]

Maybe it’s a sort of convection oven? Like some fast food places? Hopefully

[@terrif1263]

I love you 2 and I'm always excited to see you posted something. Very informative and fun

[@Theendlessadventure]

❤️😄

[@cirechu]

Are you guys using the most amazing Octopus card? It basically makes your experience feel like you're at a resort because you can use that thing at so many places! Glad to see you're enjoying the food!

[@Theendlessadventure]

We didn't use it this time, but we'll have to try it next time. We were so jealous of everyone swiping theirs!

[@afcgeo882]

The egg tarts are Portuguese in origin (pasteis de nata) and became popular in Hong Kong recently via Macau, a Portuguese colony.

[@mcnutrition4228]

LOVE your content and your videos, especially the food tours! Super excited to see what you guys are up to next. Nourish, Heal, Love, Melissa x (From the UK)

[@goldasian347]

You need to try condensed milk on toast with a side of egg. Also macaroni soup is really for comfort food. If you want flavor, try adding satay beef.

[@dougall1687]

Pretty darned cool for a destination picked at the last minute :) I recall when you guys met up with CupOfTJ to explore some Japanese street food last year - that was awesome. Makes me wonder how cool it would be if you ever had the chance to meet up with Mikey Chen for a tour of Chinese food.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Yep, we're glad it worked out! Would be awesome to meet up with Mr. Chen. Maybe one day!

[@yeehaw9460]

The macaroni and ham soup is normal and is very common amongst HK people, the french toast should always be the first thing to be eaten since it loses its temperature quickest, and once the butter is melted and turns into a pool, it won’t be as nice.

[@beebeebee05]

The ham macaroni soup is typical cha chang tang (hong kong deli) breakfast. If you find it a bit blah, next time try the tomato beef one. That's the one I go for usually. Plus I dont like ham 😅😅😅

[@rosiebirrell7812]

Food out yo a microwave , Gordon Ramsey would go mental lol

[@BortonMaverickNYC]

The macaroni soup ham is for tourists, non asians. You wouldn’t see locals eating that. The egg tart (don tot) is a must and the pineapple bun (bore lore boa) is sweet custard bun, eat without the butter please though.

[@americanmade6996]

Everything you ate at breakfast was an adaptation of some Western dish. The custard tart is Portuguese, macaroni is of course Italian. Even the pineapple bun is Westernized with a slab of butter. As for the goose and cha siu, I hope you shared. Chinese entrees are intended to be eaten family style, and at a Chinese table it is impolite to hog one entire dish for yourself (it's also wasted opportunity). The goose skin would have been crispier if it weren't microwaved. The microwave oven does suggest that this place earned a Michelin star but has been resting on its laurels.

[@lawrencebautista1]

Hi Eric and Allison! If you're going to Vietnam, Hanoi is the place to be. Cooler climate compared to Saigon where it can be sizzling during summer months. Lots of instagrammable areas and French colonial charm. You should try the restaurants Anthony Bourdain ate at.

[@TheGoToFamily]

Roast goose looks off the hook!

[@xosch13xo]

Great video! Makes me pumped for my upcoming trip to HK!

[@NomadBears]

I want all that wonderful food. I can't wait to check out Hong Kong. Great video.

[@ggman69]

Usually HK people order French toast in afternoon tea, not in breakfast.

[@robertmccoy7188]

If you guys end up in Singapore you may want to try Hawker Chan. He has a Michelin star and sells his main dish (soya chicken) for $1.50 USD

[@Theendlessadventure]

We tried it actually in our videos from Singapore a while back. It was good but not super memorable for us 🤷‍♂️

[@aWanderlustForLife]

You are making us miss Hong Kong!!

[@aritrabhandari3831]

0:29 Wow! see guys Mr. Bean is passing by through the background road.. ❤️😲😲

[@colingibson8018]

Hey guys. Love this video , the food looks a little ordinary compared to some of the food that you have eaten. That said it all looks pretty doable . Like the French toast looked bland but the way you describe it . looks like Sunday morning breakfast is taken care of the macaroni soup looks so open to ideas. You said that it was chicken broth????. Anyway keep up the good work looking forward to your next video thanks

[@andrewchin2626]

I think you should try the famous Octopus card when travelling in Hong Kong. It could also be used in most convenience stores as well.

[@Psychphuq]

Have you experienced the Star Ferry to cross between Kowloon & Hong Kong...? A very cheap alternative to paying for the MTR with a much better view... :)

[@zoemorrison07]

There is some very odd combinations of food here! Hahaha it makes me laugh how scared I would be to try it and you guys just go ham! Respect ✊🏼! Sorry you guys had bad service in the restaurant though :( that’s unfair to you! But I’m glad the meal made up for it! Looking forward to more adventures! 💗💗

[@QuirkyQuillify]

You guys should have eaten the pineapple bun first, it's supposed to be enjoyed as hot bun and cold butter. The texture and contrast works best when it's first put together.

[@Caswell19]

That intro was incredible!

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks! 🤗

[@coyennn5030]

word of advice, you add pepper in to the soup so it tastes way better

[@victorlui5955]

Cool video! Eat some wonton noodles! Or the rice noodles wrapped in the fried dough. Oh or the thousand year old egg with lean pork! Or some KFC! 😁

[@rowmosapien]

I'm wondering if that 'peanut butter' is actually kaya paste as i think they love kaya toast in hong kong a lot.

[@dm2129]

Can u guys check out 7-11 and family mart im coming to hong Kong soon and im from the USA

[@TheRocknrolla12]

The food looks delicious:) I will now OD on cheesecake

[@salanicus]

Brilliant foodie episode :) Are going to try and do the Stanley Beach double decker bus ride?

[@knowyourhistory]

I'm surprised you haven't tried pineapple buns and egg tarts before when you used to live in San Francisco. I eat that stuff all the time.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Yeah we just never really came across them there 😄

[@waikuenlee6242]

一樂is much better than 甘，一樂makes the best roast goose in Hong Kong , you have to try 一樂 next time , you will not disappointed .

[@jonathanip7882]

People usually add syrup or sweet condensed milk on top of the French toast too!

[@ir34p3ri5]

50 usd?? Jheeeze, you can get that same meal for much cheaper at most local places. Like for instance char siu fan (bbq pork with rice) is like 25-50 hkd max (3.20-6.40 usd)

[@derekduo1987]

Fantastic! How can I find your videos this late! BTW do you have plans going to China? I'd love to be a tour guide of yours. Hope to see more your videos.

[@nocopyrightaudiomusiclibra7802]

nice, I think it is great keep sharing great video good job Tq

[@bobarty]

PS are you having a Trip up the Peak there used to be a Cafe up there.

[@OriginalHandprint]

Great to see you in Mong Kok, my favourite area of HK Sad to say my food was limited to dim sum, Thai, and McDonalds!

[@Nesja89]

I am in Taiwan right now! Eating quite similar stuff. I love it sooooo much!:) I already gained some kgs:)

[@fairingfans3575]

Why am I watching travel Vlogs about my own city?!

[@delukxy]

Microwave for heating and microwave for cooking are two different things. You just have to not cross the thin line between them. That meat looked to have lots of liquid content so heating that way is pretty safe. I'm sure they have the timing down to a tee. Looked great and I'm sure you were both pretty full after that. I hope you picked a good Dim-Sum place, one where the locals eat and not a "fancy" one. One of these maybe. kzbin.info/www/bejne/il69ZH1-pZiKrLc

[@vivvcat]

7:40 Aaahh 😍

[@lawrencebautista1]

Yat Lok Roast Goose is better and also has 1* michelin star. Yung Kee Restaurant is a Hong Kong institution and a fancier restaurant serving roast goose as well, but doesn't have a michelin star. The owner of Kam's Roast Goose is a sibling of the owner of Yung Kee.

[@patrickwong5237]

You guys should pick the satay beef with spagtti instead of ham with Mac..Taste better

[@Sue474]

The greasiness of that so-called French toast was revolting. I couldn't eat that if you paid me.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Fair enough! It was pretty Gluttonous 😄 We could only eat a few bites!

[@solomontsai8589]

its not grease it's syrup

[@angechrissy]

LOL - I hated macaroni in soup as I was growing up, and I still do! But Hong Kong people seem to have a love affair with this dish to a point that you can order it at Hong Kong McDonald's. :D And you should order many egg tarts! One is not enough. I love those French toast! :D There are places where you can order the toasts with chocolate inside but I prefer peanut butter.

[@taylorcraig1794]

Love your channel

[@colingooch8841]

You've eaten more variety of food in a day than I did in over 2 years...mind you I can read a Hong Kong McDonalds menu without any hassle let alone buy a ham roll from a 7-11

[@franceswu3749]

Get the satay beef with the macaroni next time. :)

[@johannessugito1686]

In general Chinese eat roasted meat at room temperature. They know that Europeans and Americans like it hot, that's why there is a microwave ready to heat up the meat. They don't do that for Asian customers. And Asians like fatty meat and cartilage.

[@hml878]

Greeting from Hong Kong, please accept my apology as a Hongkonger for your bad experience, as Hong Kong is not a very tourist friendly place on earth. (they don't have time to waste on customer service. So, sit down, finish your meal and get out of here!!!) We, as a local, also get this kind of treatment, only we get use to it. So don't take it personal and enjoy your stay in Hong Kong.

[@hunhunhaha]

You should open a Michelin 🌟 restaurant

[@kaizerkoala]

I'm not a native HongKongian but I always has fried-egg on that macaroni soup.

[@Jensophiek]

The first restaurant… I used to go there every week that the workers recognised me 😂😂😂

[@discoverydave254]

You're making me hungry!

[@NicholasKev91]

Will you guys go to disneyland?

[@susanyeung4165]

Welcome to my backyard :)

[@Saravon]

Microwaving food at a restaurant is so gross, especially meat! Michelin star....hmm...I think not. lol

[@Zergcerebrates]

A. Von the roasted goose is cooked and is usually hung next to the glass display and tends to cool down, the microwave is nothing more than just heated up before serving.

[@Saravon]

Zerg Cerebrates if this place has a Michelin star they should not have a microwave. I often order ribs, or other meat items and never reheat in a microwave, that is just not correct.

[@tonytang5452]

Time is money

[@silverblueshadow]

I'd have gone for the satay noodles instead of the macaroni

[@MajorAddiction]

Lovely intro montage

[@Bonnie-sd7et]

We live in Hong Kong and definitely don't eat macaroni and tinned ham! Dim sum every time.

[@lucylovinglife]

I really don't think that could be a legit Michelin star because it wouldn't be that cheap if it was and that food (although it looks delicious) looks very basic

[@OriginalHandprint]

The only Michelin I know is Tate on the island - around HKD2000 a head!
