(Hong Kong, Tiu Keng Leng) Hello
This is Hong Kong Lunch
Why are there so many people here?
I don't know
Today is a holiday
Only this place is particularly crowded
The current time is
11:45 AM
So
Other restaurants are..
quiet..
Only this restaurant now
Take a number
and wait
So
(15 minutes wait)
Turns out here
the breakfast menu
is until 12 PM
So we can still
order breakfast now
That's awesome
(Breakfast like lunch)
Should I eat breakfast?
It's really cheap
Breakfast is only $38
So
I still wanted to eat that curry
Okay, you..
You eat lunch
I'll eat breakfast
(Breakfast and lunch together)
I'll have A1
and change the noodles to rice noodles
And what I need is
from the lunch menu..
2...
number 2003
Please give me number 2003
What would you like to drink? Two cups?
Do you have two cups?
Hot milk tea
(???)
Please wait a moment
I'll take this order first
Come one at a time
(Awkward situation)
Iced milk tea with less sugar
People are so stressed out
(Chaotic restaurant)
My stress level
is rising too
Is this the fate of a popular restaurant?
It really seems chaotic
No, it just seems like they are short-staffed
It came out right away
This is the breakfast set
This is $40
This is rice noodle
And
a piece of pork
(Fried pork)
Just one piece like this
(Receipt arrived)
The amount of breakfast is..
It doesn't seem particularly much
Yeah
But there's not many places
that serve Thai food for breakfast
So it's kind of..
unusual
I ordered curry
Wow, curry
I got red curry with
fried fish
When it comes to Thai food, it's got to be curry
(Ambassador)
Can I just have a sip of the soup?
-Yeah -Is it Tom Yum Goong base?
Yeah
But
(Hesitation)
It's really sour
It is sour
Among the soups I've had
this is the sourest one I've ever had at a Thai restaurant
Did they put a lot of vinegar in here?
(Nervous laugh)
Maybe they were stressed
(Chain reaction)
Price-wise, it's a good deal, right?
Because other places
are also $40, but here
you can get Thai food
That's definitely a unique point
And it came out really fast
-The food -Exactly
It comes out almost immediately
within 5 to 10 minutes
That's definitely a plus
Even though there are so many people here
the fact that the food comes out quickly is a real advantage
But just by looking at it
it seems like the portion is a bit small
Right?
Yeah
it's a bit small for lunch
(But enough for breakfast)
Oh, I originally
really like curry
(Curry fan)
I really like the Thai curry here
But firstly, it's warm
When you go to a typical Thai restaurant
they just
serve it as it is
And honestly, it doesn't taste that good
But here, it's served really warm
So I like it
And inside
It's filled with vegetables
Oh, there's also eggplant
Yeah, there's eggplant
What's this? Beans..
Bean leaves
are also in it
There's a lot of fried fish too
So it's really delicious
The red curry is a bit spicy though
But it's not spicier than Shin Ramyun, right?
It's better than Shin Ramyun
One difference between Hong Kong people and Koreans
is that
They really prefer to eat breakfast outside
Right?
My mom and dad
elderly people
almost every day
really every day at a cha chaan teng
-go to have breakfast -And even today, right?
It seems like they went out to eat
But we have to go to work
so we can't do that
But on holidays like this
On holidays
-We end up eating at a cha chaan teng -Yeah, yeah
For breakfast
-And they serve until 12 o'clock here -Yeah
Eating breakfast outside
is really part of Hong Kong culture
In Korea, breakfast
It's really hard to eat out..
It hasn't culturally settled in
Right
It's kind of weird
Actually, the reason why there are many people in the restaurant
is because the breakfast time and lunch time
overlap
There are people eating breakfast on the one hand
and people eating lunchon the other
Since those people gather together
it seems like there are a lot of people
But really, almost
everyone orders breakfast menu
It's cheaper and
Right, right
People like me who insist
on ordering lunch menu are rare
No, it's still early
Right, right
Later, it will get crowded again
(Prediction)
Show me the fish
The fish is
well marinated
But as I keep eating curry
I think
it's a bit salty
The soup earlier and this too
The seasoning is a bit strong today
I don't know if it's usually strong or if today
the chefs were stressed out
(Under pressure)
and seasoned it strongly, but
Um
The seasoning is a bit strong today
But what's funnier is
I just saw the menu
Of course
they sell Thai food
But if you look at the back
just like a regular
cha chaan teng
they also sell Hong Kong food
Oh, I see
This place isn't entirely Thai food
So, ah~~
(Mix)
Interestingly, Thai..
...cha chaan teng couple..
..It's like that feeling
The restaurant name was definitely a Thai restaurant
-So -When I went inside
It actually has a local feel to it
Usually, Thai restaurants
When you order curry, the coconut flavor
is really strong
So it's a bit sweet sometimes
Here, the coconut flavor is not that strong
So if you don't like it too sweet
and prefer a more mild taste?
But you still want to go to a Thai restaurant
Then this place would be perfect for those people
But let me try this
Eat my fried pork
But when you come together, sharing food is really nice
That's Korean culture
Yes, with Hong Kong people
Never
order two dishes to share
Don't do it
(Food Critic)
But
The fish is a bit tough
(Deduction point)
The fish is not that great
The sauce and everything is fine
To me, it's a bit spicy
and salty actually
-It's a bit salty -Definitely?
Yes
The seasoning is strong
I should try the fried pork
(Tasting)
The fried pork is really tender
The fried pork is good
I think it deserves a pass
Oh, this is really unique
The soup is Tom Yum Kung
(Hesitating)
The contents inside
are just local..
Even the noodles originally
were just gongzaimein
instant noodles
But I just changed it to rice noodle
Then it's completely local..
..It's Thai fusion
(Unexpected combination)
Hey, now
(17,000 KRW) The price was only $98
But one is breakfast
One breakfast, one lunch
But lunch is actually
(9,700 KRW) only about $55
-The price is quite cheap -Including drinks
-Since it's an all-inclusive price -The advantage of this place is
I think the biggest advantage is the price
Uh
And the portions are not bad
And there are always people
Lining up
Every time we pass by here
-Because it's a restaurant with a line -We were really curious
We were curious, so we
-Came to try it out -Right
So, it wasn't bad
just a decent neighborhood Thai restaurant
Next time, we'll find a tastier
restaurant and
Continue our gourmet journey
