Im freaking feral for literally ANYTHING with sesame flavor. Also not me thinking of that one I love Lucy episode in the choco factory while watching our girly try to package the desserts xD
those are different things, 相思豆 is poisonous and its a red seed with a black tip; they were called '红豆' but different to what we known as red beans nowadays
That Uncle Roger-esque guy selling the black sesame mochi is super clever. Loved how he thought about it before realising that he might mis-pronouce peanuts.
🤩 Oh my Goodness! This stuff is amazing. It also comes in different flavors like with ginger or purple sweet potato. The pumpkin is amazing! I love black sesame anyway, but this is a step up. I've been binging your channel to find new foods to try.
I was growing up with my cantonese grandma and great grandma. Still remember how they always told me what the benefits of each food and ingredients that they made. Watching this video made me really miss them so much.
Another great episode of food adventure! If you are going for sesame soup next time, don't forget to add sweet dumpling with sesmae paste inside, THAT is my no.1 favorite black sesame dessert bar none!! Also the crunchy black sesame candy bar, like those using peasnuts are my favorite as well! Welcome to HK, you will discover a lot of great delicacies in this food haven! I notice that the shop that sells glutinous sesame ball at Tai Po is not wrapped by the lady owner, she insisted of preparing at the spot for ultimate freshness but that took a toll on his hand and wrist and she is suffering from inflammation and other wrist and forearm injury. God bless her to revcover soon~
@chokladpudding96 I don't know if it has a specific one? Probably Double Skin Milk Custard. It is pronounced shuang pi nai in Mandarin or shuang pei nai in Cantonese. It's a custard/pudding like dessert. Essentially, there is a layer on top that is created from heating milk and then a layer on the bottom which is a custard layer of milk and egg. An extremely popular version is made with ginger.
Could've had Derk to try it out as well as jasmine and Peter. But yeah black sesame dessert is very popular, me and my family have it sometimes here in Sydney Australia. Just wanted to let you know if you had this "glutinous rice balls" in a thick soup (it's tong yoon" in Cantonese, not sure about Mandarin, they have black sesame for that as well. So like the black sesame dessert you had there, added with those glutinous rice balls. OR You can get black sesame glutinous rice balls that you have in a bowl of shallow hot water 😊
High in iron too, but iron and calcium are not items one needs too much of. Luckily, however, also high in magnesium - which one does want to ensure getting. Unlikely anyone would eat enough all that often to be a worry though ; ) Most likely reason for graying hair is stress - it causes the release of H2O2 (peroxide) in the hair follicles which bleaches the hair from the inside (!)
This is a yummy episode! As vegetarian I’ve really enjoyed this in particular. Love this HK serie It’s making me want to visit even more! Thanks Amy Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧
I also really like black sesame. I'm going looking for that torto pudding tomorrow. Also interesting to learn that prawn toasts are authentic. I thought those were an invention of Australian Chinese restaurants. Those look like they have a lot more prawn on them than the typical ones here though.
Ooo I would want that period dessert! A lot of the ingredients in it are packed with iron which is so good after a period when peoples iron levels can be low
Thank you for sharing your experiences in Hong Kong, I’ll definitely check out those places and food you tried. I’m saving this video to my favorite so I can reference it when I get to HK next time.❤
Great video Amy...you outdid yourself eating and trying all those sweets...prawn toast is delectable and scrumptious...I order it everytime I order chinese food at my local restaurant...enjoy and have a great day ❤
That sesame prawn toast looks absolutely divine! You can order it in the UK from Chinese takeaways. It doesn't have nearly as much prawn filling but it's still amazing. It's a staple and my partner and I order them every time we order Chinese food.
my mom loves making the 黑芝麻糊 for breakfast, with the baked grounded sesame seeds. she also puts in dates, goji berries, different nuts, a bit of milk powder, and dried lily bulb flakes, some sugar all together in the rice cooker. my aunts and cousins loved it when they visited.
Oh my goodness, you came to Tai Po. I often go to this little shop where you were offered the lunch box and that sell the sesame pudding (put tsai go}, very local delicacies. Hope you have a nice stay in Hong Kong albeit the weather at the moment is a bit wet and humid.
@coralielouvet4578 The dessert shop is called 友口馥(don’t think it's got an English name) at Shui On Building, No.23 Pak Shing St, Tai Po near Tai Wo Bridge. It's a little shop that only sells take away and no sit in dining is available. You can make a Google search for the exact location. Welcome to Hong Kong but it is a bit hot these days.
I never eat black sesame dessert (黑芝麻糊) since elementary school, even though it helps our hair to maintain its darkness/color, it also makes us to rush to the restroom uncontrollable. However, it is still one of Hong Kong's signature desserts of all, as well as red bean dessert and mangoes.
I manage to find some on Amazon here in the US, I ordered a couple of boxes going to try them out. I love sesame seed oil, I usually put them on noodle dishes. When it comes in sweets I have to try them myself.
1:51 Oh I've tried their brand before, and it is amazing compared to some of the other brands I've had. My mom bought tons of them. I think there is like 2 or 3 more boxes left. I think that red bean is one of those accidentally fell in ones. You can't go wrong with french toast. Oddly my mom prefers pancakes.
This episode reminded me that I had a big box of black sesame dessert powder from Costco Australia sitting at the back of the pantry. I paused the video and made myself a steaming bowl of sesame goodness to resume watching. Yum!
Black sesame paste has been around since the Han Dynasty in ancient China and was popular during the Song Dynasty, while modern Chinese have taken the country by storm because of a brand called "Southern Black sesame paste," a simple food that can be made with a grinding tool.
My grandmother’s favorite dessert. My mother side of the family is Cantonese and my father side is from north north north Mongolia China. Food for me was very much a matter of extremes ha ha ha
The red bean ice drink is my absolute favorite. And if I have time to sit down and eat, I’d add a small scoop of vanilla ice cream into it. That’s perfection to me.
This video was wonderful! But I got such a fright with those prices! xDDD I've been wanting to try black sesame foods so I might try to cook some, you've given me so many ideas!
I love black sesame mochi. Whenever I see it at the only Asian market that sells it, I'll buy all of them they have on the shelf. Now they only keep a few by the vash register and I still buy them all, but when I ask if they have more, I'm always told that I bought the last of them. Ha, one day I went back a few hours later to buy some red dates and there were more at the cash register 😂. I love the taste so much. I've had black sesame milk tea too and liked it. I'm so envious of your time in Hong Kong.
Prawn toast is such a Chinese food staple in Britain because the majority of our Chinese restaurants are actually Cantonese. It was wild realising you’d never tried it before!
I think black sesame dessert is enjoyed throughout China though, is it really specific to Canton region, or does Canton region have more specific ways or variety of ways of cooking it?
Hong Kong cuisine is seriously delicious at a different level. Street food, cha chan teng food, gourmet food, noodle shops, international cuisines...simply cannot list them all. Thats why HK is renowned as the “Food Heaven”. Just curious how Amy can still be this slim after all those delicious French toasts, desserts and sugary drinks 😂
@BlondieinChina can't believe you haven't had prawn toast? Most Aussie Chinese restaurants and takeaways have them, right next to the spring rolls and prawn chips. Try them when you are back on oz! Love that you enjoy HK and hope to have you back soon
Back in 2009, I had shrimp toast with fried scorpions on it at a Thai restaurant in Santa Monica. Surprisingly, the scorpions tasted like fried shrimp tails, so they went very well together! I loves me some shrimp toast. Hard to find nowadays in Los Angeles.
Seconding that, prawn toast is extremely common as a starter in British Chinese food places. Although British Chinese food is literally nothing like the gorgeous food in these videos 🤤
I would be very curious to know what is your favourite kind of food from China, I mean globally : Sichuan, Hunan, HK.. ? And then maybe a top ten dish and top ten dessert. Like a introspective of off the fod you tried so far.
The guy that walked by at 4:39 sounded like he was doing Mongolian throat singing! Hong Kong: always full of delights & surprises!
I was so surprised :D what the heck. That sounded awesome :D
Just found your channel recently. I’ve been binging your videos and now I need to learn Chinese! Thanks for spreading joy and delicious food!!
sameee
Amy’s awesome. I watch all her videos to try to learn Mandarin and also the wide variety of foods in China.
You need to watch Katherine's Journey to the East and Little Chinese Everywhere as well. Two fantastic channels.
@@lolilollolilol7773agree!
Im freaking feral for literally ANYTHING with sesame flavor. Also not me thinking of that one I love Lucy episode in the choco factory while watching our girly try to package the desserts xD
I too thought of the I Love Lucy episode at the chocolate factory!
That episode is simply classic!
To those dont know: red beans also known as love beans (相思豆). That may be the reason for the lady said the red bean is like first love
those are different things, 相思豆 is poisonous and its a red seed with a black tip; they were called '红豆' but different to what we known as red beans nowadays
I freaking love black sesame!!!!! This video is what my dreams are made of!
me too 😩😩 i go FERAL
I love black sesame mooncakes. It's the best kind.
Oh my gosh, me too! I was surprised to see mochi, I thought that was a Japanese food?
Hong Kong and Cantonese cuisine definitely offers the width and depth that differs from other regions of china
It has a lot to do with the colonization of Hong Kong from the British, so they have a lot more western influences than most of other parts of China.
I love black sesame too! Prawn toast is a staple in UK Chinese Takeaways. I currently live in the Middle East and I miss it so much!
That Uncle Roger-esque guy selling the black sesame mochi is super clever. Loved how he thought about it before realising that he might mis-pronouce peanuts.
Yeah Uncle Roger! I thought he looked familiar 😂
You ain't seen nth yet. Check out 蔡楓華's photos in the 1980s....
🤩 Oh my Goodness! This stuff is amazing. It also comes in different flavors like with ginger or purple sweet potato. The pumpkin is amazing! I love black sesame anyway, but this is a step up. I've been binging your channel to find new foods to try.
Love this episode. Seeing HK brings back so much memories. Thanks!

hi Amy, this was a great video. Love the behind-the-scenes making of the black sesame.😍😍😍
First love for black sesame for me was those peanut mochi and black sesame ice cream 🤤 like a yummier toasted peanut butter
It's getting cool at night in Brisbane and the black sesame soup/mochi looks very cozy and inviting 😊
The lady who lets you try her lunch is so nice❤ Hk people are so friendly!
Hong Kong is xenophobic.
Another great episode of food adventure! If you are going for sesame soup next time, don't forget to add sweet dumpling with sesmae paste inside, THAT is my no.1 favorite black sesame dessert bar none!!

I love black sesame so much! I could eat/drink it in anything. But I've got to admit, nothing beats 双皮奶 when it comes to Cantonese desserts.
what's the english name for it?
@chokladpudding96 I don't know if it has a specific one? Probably Double Skin Milk Custard. It is pronounced shuang pi nai in Mandarin or shuang pei nai in Cantonese.

It's "I Love Lucy" most famous episode! For real! Aussies may or may not be familiar, but I bet anyone over 20 and probably less knows of the episode.
My fave is the yin yang black sesame soup with tofu pudding. I was hoping you would try that, but it's all good!
Could've had Derk to try it out as well as jasmine and Peter.
But yeah black sesame dessert is very popular, me and my family have it sometimes here in Sydney Australia.

Omg I have a black sesame obsession right now too.
These food sellers seem like such fun people!

黑芝麻糊超级好吃，小时候特别喜欢吃，还有豆奶粉也是小时候的最爱，这两种传统美食都有速食包装款
Love the calm vibes of this video, Amy 💛 Can't wait for next week already!
Delicious black sesame. Always eat those Torto versions so its cool to see the factory!
3:33 You are reminding me of the I Love Lucy episode where Lucy and Ethel are working in the chocolate factory lol
Always brighten my day when I watch your videos! Take care
What a gorgeous smile 0:18
😁
This is a yummy episode! As vegetarian I’ve really enjoyed this in particular. Love this HK serie It’s making me want to visit even more!

Oh’ red bean iced drink at the end, our favorite !😊😊
Glad to know that you like Hong Kong!
Ooo I would want that period dessert! A lot of the ingredients in it are packed with iron which is so good after a period when peoples iron levels can be low
Big fan of the Torto desserts myself, nice to see how it's made !
My favorite black sesame thing is the black sesame rolls (芝麻卷). I've been eating those since childhood, and they are still my #1.
Love those Hong Kong Cantonese desserts
Yay for new video from Amy! ❤ Fell sick this week and feeling awful but so happy to be watching your video 😊
Very cool, have fun!
The most underrated ingredient out there! I love black sesame too.
Thank you for sharing your experiences in Hong Kong, I’ll definitely check out those places and food you tried. I’m saving this video to my favorite so I can reference it when I get to HK next time.❤
Yes black sesame is one of my favorites!
Would be great if it has anti aging properties ❤️
prawn toast is big in Ireland and the UK i gasped at how chunky that one is!
Great video Amy...you outdid yourself eating and trying all those sweets...prawn toast is delectable and scrumptious...I order it everytime I order chinese food at my local restaurant...enjoy and have a great day ❤

My whole family thinks black sesame dessert tastes like savoury but I love it. So hard to get in South Australia.
It's been a while since I had black Sesame soup. I recall that it was hot and quite sweet.
looks delicious
i go to that dessert shop in tai po too.good choice.
owner is nice.
Oh my goodness, you came to Tai Po. I often go to this little shop where you were offered the lunch box and that sell the sesame pudding (put tsai go}, very local delicacies. Hope you have a nice stay in Hong Kong albeit the weather at the moment is a bit wet and humid.
Hi @weasel660 I'm going to HK and would love to know the address of this first little shop to try out! Would you know the address please?

So much knowledge learning about food properties in food..
I love black sesame desserts.
Good video mate
The Mongolian/Tuvan throat singing guy took me by surprise - that was awesome.

Hi Amy. You should visit Penang and Malacca Malaysia to try some local Malaysian Chinese food!
It sure brought back many memories since I was born in Hong Kong and living in the USA now.
A lot of these I had as a kid. Now there is a lot more variety from or adopted from other Asian countries.
im looking for hong kong french toast recipes because that looks so gooooood
It’s the perfect midnight snack 宵夜 food at any dessert shop. Perfect comfort food. You can’t get more canto than this! 😊
My grandmother’s favorite dessert. My mother side of the family is Cantonese and my father side is from north north north Mongolia China.
Food for me was very much a matter of extremes ha ha ha
The mochi guy was so funny!!
You should try the ice cream red bean ice!
Still doing great , keep it up!
The red bean ice drink is my absolute favorite. And if I have time to sit down and eat, I’d add a small scoop of vanilla ice cream into it. That’s perfection to me.
Amazing video
Brilliant well done 👍
The food you eat also makes you look prettier. Take care Amy.
You never seem to have tried one of China's biggest cuisines, ‘Nongjia Cuisine’（农家菜）, and it's definitely worth trying!
mochi balls with black sesame yummy
I watched your typhoon shelter crab video and I had to subscribe instantly
This video was wonderful! But I got such a fright with those prices! xDDD I've been wanting to try black sesame foods so I might try to cook some, you've given me so many ideas!
As a HKer living aboard, i'm loving this series. please post where we can find the sesame pudding and mochi
It does work also black bean powder mix in im 63 still black hair without losing hair.
I just started soaking my rice for heizhima hu, its sooooo funny that you coincidentally uploaded a video on it😂
"you wanna try this? this is my lunch"... i laughed so hard
Very interesting! Need to get a mochi 😊
it is a very famous desert shop in Taipo!
Welcome to my hometown, enjoy your stay here
"i know i'm going to mispronounce peanut" lol dead

Prawn toast is such a Chinese food staple in Britain because the majority of our Chinese restaurants are actually Cantonese. It was wild realising you’d never tried it before!
There's a dessert "black sesame roll". It's also great, chewy, sweet but not too sweet. Too bad there's less places you can get them nowadays.
I think black sesame dessert is enjoyed throughout China though, is it really specific to Canton region, or does Canton region have more specific ways or variety of ways of cooking it?

还有一种甜品叫鸳鸯糊，是芝麻糊+花生糊，也很好吃！！

I LoL when he said I better not say "peanuts"
4:37 seems like chow yun fat visited the store too!
Please do some Taiwan food vlog too!
