Hi Megan, So happy that you and Elliott are safe in London, UK. Wow!!! Elliott is hilarious 🤣😅! Especially...S.t.r.a.w.b.e.r.r.y! And....his antics....and his Cantonese!!! So happy to see the availability of dim sum and goods at the supermarkets of which most are available here in Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦. Wishing both of you a happy and healthy new year! Stay safe as I look forward to your next vlog! 😅🥰😄😂
Tip: Look at the lens rather than the LCD screen when filming. It would look so much better for you to be addressing the audience directly rather than looking off to the side. Other than that, enjoying all the interesting content.
You look more English than Chinese hence why the waiters didn't offer you Chinese tea. Chinese restaurants in the UK do offer different types of Chinese tea indeed. Also those Chinese buffets are catered for the English.
So weird that they don't ask you for tea at dim sum! Here even in the Netherlands they do that and I kinda think that's what makes dim sum, dim sum you know😂 can't have it without some hot tea!
@@MeganJacques I've never been to Plum Valley, but they certainly assume and ask which tea you'd like with all the other restaurants such as Lido, Dumpling Inn and Wan Chai
I think the servers will see/read the people going for dim sum. If Chinese and Asian looking, they will ask what kind of tea in most times. If others (white, black, brown....), chance they not drink teas (coffees but not tea). So, those servers offered juices, pops, or coffees!
I recall of vacationing in HK in 2018 and boba was HK$40. HK is expensive to me comparing to the Bay Area. Average salaries here is higher than HK but I still feel price pressure when visiting HK.
Hong Kong is definitely an expensive city! Although I find that for certain things you are able to find cheap/affordable options depending on where you are ☺️
Bay Area? SF Bay area? If so, exchange should be back to $5+/- USD..... Not expensive because last time I am in Cal. L.A. area costed almost $10 USD on it!
I think it’s the norm in London. I went to a pricey dim sum place and was not offer tea as well. It’s like alot of european restaurant that doesnt offer water as well. And actually a beer might even be cheaper than a glass of water.
I visited that area when I went to London! I love all the cute little buildings. Elliott’s Chinese is pretty good. Is he a BBC? Did you teach him all that Chinese? My husband is half Japanese and half Chinese but only speaks English. It’s not easy teaching him another language, lol
The building are definitely cute!! He was born and raised in Wales and was not taught any Chinese growing up. I taught him most of his canto and he remembers most things I teach him 👏
@@MeganJacques Great job Megan! You speak perfect Cantonese. Elliott is hilarious as his Cantonese...love the fact that he tries and that is what matters most.
Hope you are settling down and getting used to life in London. Must be quite a shock coming from Hong Kong to UK especially during COVID times! (Following rules in HK to relaxed rules in UK).
We left London after 2 weeks of being there, the variant got too crazy and people were not really wearing masks or social distancing. But we had a great time nonetheless!
@@MeganJacques Rules are meant to be broken 🤣. Guess, doing your part should be fine! Let things be what it be. This virus NEVER fully going away (like Pandora's box...can't put whatever out back inside)!
Is dim sim a lot more expensive than HK? Also just curious, how come Elliott lives in HK if he was born and grew up in Wales? Did he study in HK? P.S. your masks are so cool!
I’d say HK has more of a range, you can find cheap or expensive dim sum restaurants but in London they are all about the same price, quite expensive. Elliott works in HK, he’s been in HK for 3 years ☺️
Depending how you looking things? If looking with HK views, yes it is more expensive! If looking at Western styles, no it is just a normal price range.
@@hh2fan 🇬🇧 used Pounds but earning Pounds too if living in it. Therefore, I mentioned depending how you viewed it. And yes, London be more expensive if we viewed it on USA, NZ, Canada, Australia and other freedom countries! However, those currency rates still much better than HKD to Pounds.
HK Chinese foods were below standard compared to other countries (went back in late 2019 to early 2020 - So, I knew). Canada, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand got a lot better and great tasting Chinese foods if you guys ever travel again. Btw, Elliott's Cantonese sounded in a cool and funny way!!!
Agreed, London Chinatown has the worst Cantonese food,Amsterdam is better than London. Trust me, I grew up in Boston, lived in San Francisco for 30 years. I traveled to Asia, Europe and the Americas for business. Believe it or not, I found a great dim sum place in San Jose, Costa Rica called Wong’s Restaurant.
@@edwardyu8386 Always, Never, and Perfect not happens in this world. However, agreed on some old/traditional dim sum like quail eggs Siu Mai are hard to find (and tasty), but I am unable to found it in HK too during 2019/2020 vacation (even traveled to New Territory & islands)!
@@samtong4961 I still remember some old tastes, now talking to restaurants with no HK background they always don’t know what I am talking about, like giant sticking rice chicken, now they only serve tiny one, what a pity
wow. losing my mind her cantonese btter than mine lmfao but this is probably the most chinatown like community i have seen. not even vancouver or toronto looks like this and thee chinese community in those city are huge
@@MeganJacques yes it may be diverse but discrimination is a bit different. Like the U.S. it's pretty diverse but there's still a lot of anti Asian racism. Stay safe
😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴 all the foods so tested because MSG......👎👎👎👎👎don't go to that Buffet restaurant because they're using very cheap ingredients and cook with a lot MSG 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 eating so often can kill you!!!!!!!

@@MeganJacques 識打中文 真係估你唔到 你香港出世

Ohh!! Good to know, thank you!
One thing is for sure at 1:20, the girl is from mainland. 🤣 nice vid btw!
Thank you!
Wow bubble tea is more than double the price, hope it was worth it!
It was worth it! But it would break my bank sadly...hahah

That’s probably why! And yes for sure those ‘Chinese’ buffets are for the English, no real Chinese person would go there🤣
Hope you had fun in London😭😭😭
Yes, we had a good time!!☺️
We always order the Chinese ice tea because is free🙈
Ooo I did not know that!
So weird that they don't ask you for tea at dim sum! Here even in the Netherlands they do that and I kinda think that's what makes dim sum, dim sum you know😂 can't have it without some hot tea!
I was surprised too! 🤣 I was never allowed anything other than tea growing up

Chat time bubble tea is the best in uk imo...interesting to learn bubble tea is less than £2 in hk....i have not been back for many...many years! 😬
Yes! So cheap in HK 😭

You think??🤣 that would be funny hahah

You speak very good Cantonese
Thanks!
yummy yummy
So yum 🤤
Yummy 😋 like 👍❤️
Are you the one whose does the voice over for the MTR ? I used to work in that restaurant you had dim sum 😄
Yes, I made that TikTok so long ago🤣 wow that’s so cool!! The restaurant is sooo yummy
You do get Dimsum's in hk but there aren't as many 茶餐廳/冰室 around...
So true!! Only dim sum and seafood restaurants

HK’s dim dum is always the best, especially some old/traditional dim dum you can never found elsewhere

妳啲廣東話好掂喎靚女👍👍👍
多謝晒🙏
It seems the same as smaller cities Chinese buffets in the United States.
Seems like they are all about the same
They have Din Tai Fung in London too. Probably the best dim sum in London. Not as good as Dim Sum Square in Sheung Wan, but it will do.
In Din Tai Fung we trust 🤝
You should make your videos longer!!!!
I will try to!!
流利廣東話，兩位是mixed 嗎？
係呀, 我哋兩個都係混血兒🤗
wow. losing my mind her cantonese btter than mine lmfao but this is probably the most chinatown like community i have seen. not even vancouver or toronto looks like this and thee chinese community in those city are huge
I’m surprised to hear that! I’d think that Canada would be more authentic
They normally do ask what tea would you like. Maybe you have a western face so they assumed soda fruit juice etc lol
Hahah maybe🤣
How much are these dishes?
問候和祝福香港請關注和訂閱並喜歡 😊😱
👍
Mark Whalberg?! 😮😮😮😮
there are more authentic restaurants in china town than plum valley
Which ones would you recommend?
No where is like hk....no matter how good the food is..
Agreed😭 missing home 🇭🇰
😎👍
🙌
bubble tea 真係好好賺
Yes 💰
香港珍珠奶茶 而家都要30幾蚊
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
😋
情侶口罩 :DDDDDDDD
🤣
點心我都想吃😋😍😘
好好味!
珍珠奶茶價錢大概$15至$20,視乎你喺邊一區買🐽🐽
好掛住香港珍珠奶茶嘅價錢😭
黑色是糍麻奶皇？
Are the Cantonese people there being discriminated against because I hear racism is very popular there?
London seemed very culturally diverse to me, I personally didn’t feel any sort of discrimination!
@@MeganJacques yes it may be diverse but discrimination is a bit different. Like the U.S. it's pretty diverse but there's still a lot of anti Asian racism. Stay safe
