Hello
This is Hong Kong Lunch
Yes, today we are
in this neighborhood again
It's a neighborhood we always visit
But it's a bit of an old neighborhood
Look at this
Even modern Hong Kong apartments
don't look like this
Just by looking at the building
here
(Aura)
-It's a neighborhood with a long history -Really
Anyway, we
have been wanting to eat noodles since yesterday
-I really wanted to eat them -Because we are Hong Kong people
-I really wanted to eat them -We also love noodles
But the place we ate at yesterday
-wasn't good -Right
So we immediately thought of this place
Oh, this place
We thought we'd film here someday
and today is that day
-Right -Finally, today is the day
We've been here many times, so actually
the taste is guaranteed, right?
-Yes, that's right -It’s really delicious
Here, really
about twice
a month we come here
Here it is
-Wow~~ -Nothing special
Ordinary
(Shabby)
This place looks just ordinary
But it’s really delicious here
(Getting into the restaurant)
Now, if you look at the menu here
You can tell it's original, right?
There’s no English
Hmm
Yes
It has an old
vibe, right?
Right, and here they only
sell noodles
Can we have one Auramcho
(Order confirmation)
What I need is..
Fish ball
(Worrying)
Mai..
Maipan
And additionally
Fried fish skin
And additionally
Uh... vegetables
Fermented tofu with morning glory
And
One hot milk tea, please
Two hot milk teas, please
Make it two
So, when you order in Hong Kong
Only numbers are written on the check
We don't know what it means
We ordered $51(8,700 KRW) set
And $42(7,100 KRW) set
..and we also ordered fried fish
So
It's $113(19,250 KRW)
What you order
Whether it's correct or not
We can't know that
And especially in such an old restaurant like here
You don't know even more
Because they write it in numbers by hand
Yes, that's right
In some decent places, actually
The receipt just comes out
Neatly
-Yes -Here
Because they write it in numbers
You can't understand anything
This is the old style
Thank you
Wow~~ right away
Fried fish skin came out
-The fried fish skin here is delicious, -Right
Crispy
This place could really do ASMR
(Practicing)
(Humming)
This is it
Yeah
Here, people eat noodles
And order a lot of fish cake like you
They leave a lot of fish skin
And fry it to sell
(Frugal)
-Eating from the same fish eventually -Right
Like this, really just
fry the fish skin
as it is and
add some
garlic
Uh
this does have a bit of garlic taste
Yeah
But it seems like Hong Kong people really love this
Yeah
They often eat this as a side dish when eating noodles
-It seems like they eat it really often -That's right
(Milk tea served) To add milk tea here
Is there an extra charge?
Yes
(530 KRW) Was it $3?
No
It's expensive
-Oh, is it expensive? -$7(1,200 KRW)?
(1200 KRW) Oh, it's $7? Ah~
Because if we only eat noodles
It's $35 (5,970 KRW)
(To be exact, 6,200 KRW) That's about 5,000 KRW
But
Set A
that one is noodles and
if you add one warm drink
It's $42 (7,170 KRW)
(Exactly, 7,500 KRW) 6,000 KRW
Not too bad price-wise, but really
This looks easy to make
Why does the taste differ so much?
Right
Okay, mine is here
This is the ribs
Wow~~ amazing
With ribs..
I ordered egg noodles
(Mouth-watering visuals)
-Oh~~ -Like this
This one
is a bit thick
They call it 'chouw mein'
The name itself
means thick noodles
-Thick noodles -That's right
...with ribs
Wow~~ so soft
boiled in the soup
(Perfect combination)
-That's how they serve it -They serve huge amounts here
It seems really delicious
Mine is just rice noodle
But with thin noodles
This is actually fish cake
-Fish cake -Right, fish cake
It tastes a bit like hot bar(Korean fish cake bar variation)
rolled into a round shape, it's really
Really delicious
You have to be careful when eating this rice noodle
Because if you don't eat it quickly, it gets soggy
-Yes, that's right -It's already starting to get soggy
You have to eat it quickly
(Urgent)
This
when you eat Chao Min
It has a
strong egg flavor
So, many people eat it
by adding some vinegar into it
Since we really like vinegar
-we put a lot -Right
I add a little vinegar
A little soy sauce
and sprinkle a bit of pepper
that's the most delicious
-Just a bit on top -I've never seen a Hong Kong person eat it like that
before
(Unique)
Really?
Didn't you add all three?
I've never seen someone add soy sauce
in my whole life...
(Vegetables arrived) We ordered it, thank you
Someone who eats it with soy sauce
-for the first time -Really?
If I don't add soy sauce, it tastes a bit bland
I have to add a bit
Why else would it be on the table?
There's soy sauce, vinegar
and pepper
They're all there to be added
The broth is really rich
I think the broth here is really delicious
They must have boiled the meat for a long time
We also ordered vegetables
This is called Puwi sauce
The
fermented tofu
...and
(A combination I've never seen before)
It's tong choy
Hong Kong people eat morning glory
A lot, too
We do
Some people might not like this sauce
(A new perspective)
-The fermented taste is quite strong, actually -That's right
For Koreans
It's not very familiar... since they're not used to it
This is actually really delicious
But it's like when foreigners try our soy sauce
Or our doenjang (fermented soybean paste) for the first time
They're not familiar with it, so it's a bit different from other fermented foods
Honestly, I think it's quite similar to doenjang
-Really? -Yeah?
Rather?
When Koreans try this
they say it tastes fishy
-They say it smells -It's intense
-The taste is intense -That's what they say
So, usually in Hong Kong
when you go to eat noodles, you order a bowl of noodles
order some fish skin
order some vegetables
and eat like that
-it's very common -Yes, that's right
Look at these ribs... look
Wow~~~
They're really thick
and really tender
So, I personally don't really
like Auramho that much
So I order things like Mat Win a lot here
Mat Win, Wontons
These things are made here
they say
Even Yudan
Even Yudan is made here
But these noodle shops usually
make their own stuff
I watched a lot of
Yudan specialty restaurants
documentaries and
the owner
wakes up at 2-3 AM
in the morning
to start
-grinding the fish and everything.. -Wow~~ amazing
It really requires a lot of effort, actually
Yes, that's right
But also
Just because you make it yourself doesn't mean it's always delicious
Sometimes it's too fishy, actually
There are actually a lot of things I can't eat well
But here, it's really not fishy
Even though this Mat Win is made with octopus
It's really not fishy at all
It goes down so smoothly, it's really good
(Skill)
Usually, Hong Kong people
they eat alone a lot
That's because
after finishing work, they eat quickly
and then go home, it's kind of like that...
-Yes, yes, yes. -It's more like that
Since we don't have the culture
of ordering delivery
One comes here alone
eats a bowl and leaves immediately
That's kind of how they eat a lot
When coming alone
There's nothing better than noodles
to be honest, right?
Simple
(Simple meal)
(Fish skin) If you leave this outside for long
It often gets stale
Yes
But it's been a while since we started eating noodles
yet it's still crispy
-It's really amazing -Yes
Even though it's fried in the morning
and just put into that container
Yes, that's why
it's always a hit
Wow, but the portion here...
It's also a lot, actually
That's right
Even when I order just one
there are few places that make you this full
It's really rare
among noodle shops
Actually, if you eat only noodles
(6,200 KRW) $35 is really cheap
Exactly
The price is good
The taste is good
and you also get full
Yes
It can be said that it is a noodle shop
that has the perfect trio
(20,000 KRW) Since this was $113
That's about..
It’s a little less than ￦20,000
It came out a little less than ￦20,000
-Yes -The price is very cheap and actually
Yes, that's right
So next time we will find a more delicious place
We will continue our gourmet trip

Hong Kong Lunch's 3-line review 1. Next level noodle 2. Cheap price 3. Hong Kong people's daily life
After watching this episode
People might be surprised
Why?
Dim sum or cha chaan teng
People
Commonly know
As Hong Kong food
But these local foods
Korean...
..People don't eat much of it
It doesn’t come up even if you search on Naver
-So this is -But actually
This
Is the real appearance of Hong Kong people
This is never a place where tourists
Can just come
On a random day, actually
So, I hope we can convey the message
that there is also this aspect of Hong Kong
