WOW! Hong Kong is a paradise for street food lovers!!! Thanks for watching! Another Hong Kong episode coming soon, so make sure to subscribe so you don't miss out! Follow us on instagram for live updates : instagram.com/chopsticktravel & facebook.com/chopsticktravel
I was in Sham Shui Po Tai Nan Street just an hour ago. Its crazy hot today and packed with domestic helpers (Sunday holiday) shopping around the second hand market. Yesterday i had some chill Tsing Tao beer with claypot rice on Apliu street near C2 exit. Sunday is crazy packed, i'll be there in the evening for some beer. Yaaay !!!
@@justhappenedtowalkby3709 The temperature in Hong Kong has been kept rising for resent years, thanks to climate change. So, unless you are a beach guy, I won't recommend you to visit to Hong Kong from May to September. In the old days, April and May was definitely good for picnic and travel around in Hong Kong, not too hot, hot too humid. But now, it's melting hot in May..
Kudos to you! As a Hongkonger who works at this very district in Hong Kong, you've done a great job in recommending some truly local street foods here. Anyone planning to visit Hong Kong should watch this series of videos to taste the best food Hong Kong has to offer (if you don't mind the heat and the non-so-hygienic environment)
No, it is a ritual and nothing to do with cleaning the dishes. It is just to sort of sterilise the utensils and cups and bowls. Very popular in Cantonese style eatery in Malaysia too.
they also do it in mainland china, apparently water is not clean so even though the dishes and chopsticks were pre-washed, it's customary to use hot water to sterilize them.
The hot water would not do much to kill off the germs (much less sterilize the dishes). I think sometimes it may be better just to leave the dishes and utensils alone, because pouring the hot water on them just stirs up whatever that's on the surface.
I love how genuine you guys are, not like being overtly dramatic in expression when eating. I think just seeing you guys explore the city and show us around is a really nice break after studying in my room all day. Thanks for the entertainment!
Come across your video today, weird TH-cam algorithm lol Anyways, I used to live in Sham Shui Po for nearly 10 years before I moved back to Canada. I born in HK then immigrated to Canada then back to HK to work for 10 years. Sham Shui Po definitely changed a lot since then! If I may, I would love to add some information of the food you had. 1)Sun Hang Yuen, their fresh beef scramble egg sandwich, both bread used to be not toasted. Secondly, their beef with scramble egg was double that size! Yes, double! The reason why their beef are tasty is because they have marinated it, it boosts the taste and favours in it. 2)公和 is more than 50 years old, all their products are freshly made each day and they maintain their quality very well throughout the years. You guys should have try the soya pudding (hot), that is one of the famous dish! The smoothness and melt-in-your-mouth texture is one of its kind, too bad you guys missed that... 3)合益泰 steam rice roll has two unique factors, first is their rice roll are freshly made in a factory every single day, the ratio of rice and water is in the perfect texture. Secondly, have you wonder why it tastes soooo good with the sauce? The secret is simple - they added lark (pig fat) with that peanut paste which add its aroma and smoothness into the overall texture. (Note that there is another kind of steam rice roll which is freshly made, that texture is completely different than this one you have) 4)愛文生 Dai Pai Dong I am glad you did not go to those at Women's market, I'm not saying they are bad but here at this one is where you can experience one of the best taste of dish and also the whole atmosphere along the street. Not much I could add to the food you have because there are way too many to mention, my only 'advice' would be any dish involve with that wok cooking lol That is the soul of Dai Pai Dong food, everything was 'forged' through fire. Peace out~ :D
I grew up in Sham Shui Po & that tofu shop was one of my favorite spots! Crazy (good) that you guys chose SSP as a featured area for good grubs. It's literally 99 percent locals & 1 percent travelers who know what they're doing lol They have more than food, also lots of electronic/gadgetry bargain places. You can find just about any movie/song/video and play them on the latest gadgets for a fraction of cost anywhere else!! Thanks for the memory lane stroll, Luke & Sabrina 😊
I visit SSPo on daily basis on my morning jog (I live in MeiFoo). You never know what you will find on the street floor early in the morning around 7 am on Yen Chow street. Yesterday i bought six cans of Asahi beer for $5 from an old lady. Other old lady was putting on display a tons of porn cds alongside with dozens of BNO passports for sale. She probably doesn't know what she was selling ha ha ha ...
Great thumbs up guys!! Liking your good manners, your content and the style in which you promote so respectfully! Hong kong is my heritage and I lived there for 10 years. The background sounds make me miss my city not to mention craving for fooooood!!
A splendid food journey with sandwich,tofu and rice flour roll that complements a hearty meal.That Dai Pai Dong stall absolutely impressed me the most cuz the clams doused with savoury sauce that packed a sharp punch of umami.A good combination with a glass of beer.
I was salivating when you described the taste of those food. I will definitely visit those eateries when I visit Hong Kong in Christmas. Great introduction to the local food scene. Keep your VLOGS coming.
you really a gourmet. I am a Hong Konger. Most of the tourist don't know such local food. Only local Hongkonger know this. Steam Rice roll, Tai Pai Dong, Stuffed Tofu.... All of these are cheap but very very delicious.
Good Documentary Food. I like the way he bring it. Especially when he was in Oi Man Sang eat a Hongkong Fried Rice. I can feel it the way he eat it. Smoky good flavoured fried rice nowadays is like a treasure. Rare to find and get it. Stay safe and healthy you both.
That fried tofu with fish paste looks sooooo amazing! I think it would be my first choice to give it a try; I also liked those rice noodle rolls with all the different sauces!
Absolutely love how honest you guys are with the reviews! Not to mention, the cinematic shots are just getting better and better!! By far one of my favorite channels on TH-cam!! I'm also heading to Taiwan for the first time this summer, and can't wait to visit some of the places you guys have recommended :)
Really enjoy that Ice Milk Tea & Soy Milk too. Cheung Fun(Rice Noodle Roll) With all those sauces have always been my favorites. Their beef is definitely tender and have no fat in the meat. Yang Chow Fried Rice is one of their specials Rice Dish in Dai Pai Dong Menu.
The shot when Luke finishes the sugerfree soy milk is awesome, nice editing guys! i like that Sabrina is more involved in the video, keep it up you to, -love Norway
A bit of clarification...bowls, plates, glasses and utensils are indeed washed and cleaned by the staff. The table side hot water dousing by customers is a holdover from the old days when perhaps hygiene wasn't of paramount consideration. I live in HK and have eaten my fair share of dai pai dong food without the dousing (I'm a lazy S.O.B.)...never got sick and don't have hepatitis as far as I know. But good intro to our street food nonetheless. Cheers.
Hotspur62 yes I was very confused about that. Did they give them dirty dishes and chop sticks? And a bowl and hot water to rinse them off in? And you just use them after rinsing them with hot water???
@@Echo7steel You sit down at the table, they lay the "place setting" down along with a small wash basin and jug of hot water. Customers can choose to rinse the setting or not before they start serving the meal. Afterwards, the staff cart off the used settings and wash every plate, bowl and glass. Like I said, I'm lazy and if it looks clean I don't bother :-)
Hotspur62 so I guess the hot water is used to make sure they’re clean. I thought they served you dirty dishes and had you to wash them yourselves before eating
The mystery sauce is a bit of a Hong Kong thing. It is a (fermented) bean paste base but sweetened, and is unsurprisingly, called "sweet sauce". It's use is mainly in street food, especially the cheung fun but is so popular that you can get sanitized versions from big brands in supermarkets.
LOL, I can see Sabrina starting to salivate as she is describing the egg/beef sandwich haha! Don't blame her, it does look darn good and was already salivating myself watching Luke's description.
I'm Irish/Chinese American and that final Hong Kong Cantonese meal reminded me of my childhood. I've never been but my great Auntie owned a Chinese buffet while I was growing up and would take trips to Hong Kong to scout chefs and food. For family get togethers she'd search out the most authentic places in the Bay Area, CA and we'd have a Cantonese feast. Those black bean clams take me back, one of my favorite dishes of all time but it's not available local anymore. Sadly all my Chinese side has pretty much died off, they never had many kids and the greater families were quite racist against race mixing and had no interest in our white side of the family, so I don't get these experiences anymore.
Thanks for another awesome vlog guys and im so happy to be seeing Sabrina in them more. The tofu looked great and the guy cutting it was cool, very precise. I love Korean rice cakes so id definitely be trying that if i ever get to Hong Kong. Thanks again for a great watch and stay safe
I love the da pai dong. Great atmosphere. I want one in my backyard. Reminds me of another show where a guy was drinking beer in a back alley of Japan, where the tables were made 0f stacked milk crates. That really down to earth, free feeling, you can't beat it. Loved everything in this episode, as good as street food gets. Last episode's food was good but I think way overpriced for what you're getting.
Yeah we completely agree with you. In the last video, we filmed in Central and Temple Street Night Market so a bit more expensive. Sham Shui Po we found was GREAT for prices and the food was delicious! Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you for the recommendations! Love your production work with very journalistic and informational notes. Both of your onscreen presence is fun to watch!!
I'm chinese, and I think its great that you guys went to traditional, authentic Chinese street food instead of the typical Chinese foods which western ppl normally go to.
Impressive, the last time I visited HK I went to Macau and had a Paella. I also had snake street food in Taiwan....I wish our country had the variety as other places.
Just FYI the Sun Hang Yuan place you guys went to is a new "branch" store of them and thus the renovation is new! The old place is still there (and very close in distance)!
To anyone you want to visit the "cha chaan teng" (the egg beef sandwich), remember have a try for their wonton as well. My wife and I basically have their wonton as our dinner pretty often. Also, they have a special style lemon tea with mango jam inside. Very very refreshing, especially in summer =). Enjoy!
I was at the same cheong fun store last year. It was excellent and your review was genuine. The only problem was the store was so busy and we had to eat standing on the street.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Everything in this video looks absolutely delicious. I'm gonna to check out all these eateries when I'm in HKG this Nov. Thanks a million, Luke & Sabrina!!!
Welcome to Hong Kong. Yes, those are delicious street food in Hong Kong but we don't like to have meal in Tai Pei Dong in summer time, too hot. Hope you have a nice trip.🤗🤗
the evening market supper was over the top with the steak and fried potato and the clams did look real good, one of the many favs in seafood local clams or PEI mussels, take care guys
I love the cooks , they move extremely FAST, have great tecnique, and produce great food, what more can you ask for. Wish I could be their to join you. CHOW
My favorite series so far, along with best foodie place in the world! I love the old building and the street markets. We hope to go back this year! Thanks for sharing!
Wow thanks Luke Martin n Sabrina, I like Chee Cheong fun looks springy it’s yummy I also love 💕 the seafood clams, the fried rice it got the wok hei .thanks for the video.
The red mystery sauce and the the sauce on the rice rolls is a sweet hoisin sauce. The water is to rinse off your dishes and utensils. Because Hong Kong can get dusty especially since this is an outdoor eatery. This happens at indoor restaurants too. Please amend the comment that they don’t wash the dishes. They would be able to operate that would be a health violation.
Yes I went to some indoor restaurants and they also give you hot water to rinse the dishes off. Yes sometimes it is the dust. But my wife's relatives living in HK told us that they just don't trust how clean the dishes are sometimes so they rinse them in hot water just in case.
True enough that hot water or tea rinsing of dishes and utensils is an HK tradition. It is not a replacement of washing dishes. Many believe it is to rinse dust, but I believe the tradition started as a rinsing of insect powder that was sprinkled in all cupboards and storage areas in the past. The powder. Oiled stick to dishes and such, so a rinse took care of that. In terms of sanitizing, most people don't realize that the water is never hot enough or used long enough to sanitize. Need greater that 60C for 20-30 min as a minimum.
Love to try the food and drinks at the dai pai dong but that clam with the deluxe fried rice has got to be the best. I would prefer to bring my own chopsticks instead.
Hello Luke Martin!! I have to say this video is great,:)) very good quallity of the video!! What kind of camera are you filmning?? :)) I will travel to Hong Kong in October 2019.
So glad your vlog is growing, I first saw your vlog when you were in shangrila having a fine dining, since then I've been a subscriber, I love both of you 😊
looks so yummy!! with all the great tasting food you get to try,how do you stay fit and healthy? do you ever go back for seconds or thirds? and when are you planning to return to the usa to visit?
At 10:00. Twin skewers actually have a practical reason: use both at same time to pierce food. It stops the morsel of food from spinning and flicking sauce.
Wow! You had San Miguel Beer. Do you know that it is from Manila? The brewery started in a district of Manila called San Miguel, hence the name of the beer. It is a special place for me because it is where our family is from. I'm glad that you are able to showcase some of Hong Kong's hidden culinary gems. Great format and presentation!
We went to Sun Hang yuen and Hop Yik Tai as well! It's so good that they were very close together. The Chee Cheong Fun is our absolute favourite! There were so many people getting take-away in plastic bags😋Another great video guys! - John & Malie
😋🤤😋 Everything looks so good! Even while I am sick in bed this looks so freakin good! Now I have my appetite back hahaha Great Video (again! haha don't mean to be repetitive but honestly I LOVE watching your videos!)😊

@@xpaperxcutx4588 that way you know for sure
@@msbrownbeast I bet that hot water if there is enough will kill ass. That is good enough to kill off microscopic germs and bacteria.

My korean buddy said:Coeng fan just became one of my favourite breakfast when i worked in china.........so simple,so delicious,and so comfortable
you really a gourmet. I am a Hong Konger. Most of the tourist don't know such local food. Only local Hongkonger know this. Steam Rice roll, Tai Pai Dong, Stuffed Tofu.... All of these are cheap but very very delicious.
Man, that fried rice and the beef with potatoes looks heavenly. I might just have to go to Hong Kong just to eat that.
Oops, hungry again at 0040am, after watching this pop up video!!
Wah!! Clams in black bean sauce!!!
And, special Fried Rice! Double drool like Homer Simpson!!!
🤤😛❤️

You guys always make me crave food I’ve never had or heard of. I need to find some Cheong Fun, looks so good 😋
That is our goal!!! Awesome. Cheong fun is so good and a light snack :) Thanks so much for watching!
I used to have it for breakfast when I was a child in HK. Miss it so much!
Simple food but made to perfection
You guys are amazing❤ Keep up the good work👍🏼 lots of love from Pakistan❤
I love the da pai dong. Great atmosphere. I want one in my backyard.

The two cutest food reviewers... oh yea, the food looked good as well.
It's a shame that those outdoor food markets are disappearing in HK, but anyway everything looks amazing! Greetings from México.
the FUCKING Hong Kong government made it.
I'm chinese, and I think its great that you guys went to traditional, authentic Chinese street food instead of the typical Chinese foods which western ppl normally go to.
Impressive, the last time I visited HK I went to Macau and had a Paella. I also had snake street food in Taiwan....I wish our country had the variety as other places.
Amazing food video
Thank you so much!
The clam, rice and beef looked so good you didn't even have to explain them. You could taste them with your eyes.
YEAH! Totally agree :) Thanks so much!
Just FYI the Sun Hang Yuan place you guys went to is a new "branch" store of them and thus the renovation is new!
The old place is still there (and very close in distance)!
The food at the dai pai dong looked incredible!! Mouth watering!
It was amazing!!
HimLuke and Sabrina, thanks for a great video..I'm surprised at how affordable the food is in Hong Kong..👍🏼☃️👏🏻😋
Sham Shui Po has great prices compared to other areas! Thanks for watching!
The sauce is a mixture of hoisin and chili sauce so popular to accompany the taufoo. Brilliant taufoo as you can see it is very silky and firm.
To anyone you want to visit the "cha chaan teng" (the egg beef sandwich), remember have a try for their wonton as well. My wife and I basically have their wonton as our dinner pretty often.
Also, they have a special style lemon tea with mango jam inside. Very very refreshing, especially in summer =). Enjoy!
Thanks for the recommendation!
I was at the same cheong fun store last year. It was excellent and your review was genuine. The only problem was the store was so busy and we had to eat standing on the street.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Everything in this video looks absolutely delicious. I'm gonna to check out all these eateries when I'm in HKG this Nov. Thanks a million, Luke & Sabrina!!!
good job you guys really introduce the real HK style to peoples!thanks guys!
Welcome to Hong Kong. Yes, those are delicious street food in Hong Kong but we don't like to have meal in Tai Pei Dong in summer time, too hot. Hope you have a nice trip.🤗🤗
We will have to come in the winter next time! Thanks so much! :)
All of that was interesting and the food looked very good.. I liked the Fried rice and the Breakfast sandwich.. Peace
Glad you enjoyed Cecil!
That fried rice looks reeeaaaally good! My mouth is watering 😅 It’s not easy to get a good fried rice but this is definitely IT! 😋
Please do a top 10 food poisoning video compilation you experienced
You should have tried the Dai Pai Dong in Shatin, it’s even better
the evening market supper was over the top with the steak and fried potato and the clams did look real good, one of the many favs in seafood local clams or PEI mussels, take care guys
There's nothing like east coast seafood right? haha thanks so much Craig!
Wonderful
The clams and fried rice look awesome. I like how they let you wash your own chopsticks and bowl.
Yes, this is custom in Hong Kong, especially at dim sum restaurants. Thanks so much for watching!
Amazing! You can use chopiticks quite well! Even some Chinese/eastern Asian cannot use chopsticks as well as you.
Well done, excellent video,always entertaining, always a nice surprise to see the both of you, stay healthy my friends 🤗👍👍👍
As always, thanks so much Dennis!!!
I love the cooks , they move extremely FAST, have great tecnique, and produce great food, what more can you ask for. Wish I could be their to join you. CHOW

You Start with a Beef Sandwich and finish it with that stir fry beef very interesting food 😋😋😋
Yup, quite a variety in today's video haha! Thanks for watching!

@@LukeMartin , thanks a lot for your quick answer :) I will buy a Sony a6300 :)
Very good chopsticks skill in eating the stir fried clams!
You''ve really made some deep researches!
I used to live in Sham Shui Po and those were my favourite restaurants!
Awesome! Hope you enjoyed the video, thanks so much for watching!
So glad your vlog is growing, I first saw your vlog when you were in shangrila having a fine dining, since then I've been a subscriber, I love both of you 😊
That was a long time ago! Thank you so much for joining us on this crazy journey all this time :)
@@LukeMartin yeah, that time I remember you only have 4k subscribers, bcoz I love how u vlog not overacting like some other bloggers God bless you.
Fantastic...reminds me that it's time to go for another holiday...🤗
You really know how to try and enjoy Chinese food, unlike most Western foreigners who prefer burgers, hotdogs and bread
looks so yummy!! with all the great tasting food you get to try,how do you stay fit and healthy? do you ever go back for seconds or thirds? and when are you planning to return to the usa to visit?
We go back all the time!
The food looks really good. Although I think the prices are rather high considering it's a dai pai dong.
You picked the right dai pai dong, 愛文生 is the best in Hong Kong!
Every time I go to a dai Pai dong:
*SCREAMS ORDER AND THE STAFF ACCEPT IT AND JUST BEING BROS*

Perfect Food
The most good looking foodies on TH-cam ! ...LoL

The peanutty taste you got from the cheung fun was sesame paste. There's also hoisin sauce in it.

Thanks 🌹🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍!
I am salivating right now!
At 10:00. Twin skewers actually have a practical reason: use both at same time to pierce food. It stops the morsel of food from spinning and flicking sauce.
Time well spent.
Wow! You had San Miguel Beer. Do you know that it is from Manila? The brewery started in a district of Manila called San Miguel, hence the name of the beer. It is a special place for me because it is where our family is from. I'm glad that you are able to showcase some of Hong Kong's hidden culinary gems. Great format and presentation!
Thank you very much for watching!
Good stuff Luke & Sabrina! Man that beef and potato looks awesome! That fried rice might rival mine... ;) Ha!
Welcome to Hong Kong and try the traditional Hong Kong foods👍🏼
Thank you 🙏
We went to Sun Hang yuen and Hop Yik Tai as well! It's so good that they were very close together. The Chee Cheong Fun is our absolute favourite! There were so many people getting take-away in plastic bags😋Another great video guys! - John & Malie
