(Hong Kong, Hang Hau)
Hello
This is Hong Kong Lunch
We're finally here
Yes, it is
It was recommended by family
so many times
- It's almost every week - Yes
It's a restaurant I go to almost every week
We've never been here
I'm finally eating it now
Yes, but today is a holiday
They're already in line
There are too many people
(Order Number Table)
(Exploring the menu)
Wow here is
It's not like a regular Chachantaeng
They have a QR code
we can order through
This is Chinese style
It's like Hong Kong chain
It's the same with Cha chaan teng
These days
I think that's what happens a lot
I’m just going to
eat this noodle
Pick one for me
It's confusing because there are so many
(Washing dishes)
I can't find mine anymore
(Missing)
No, there are too many menus
It's hard to find it on this app
I’m a little
I'm confused
You can't be annoyed
(Tired)
This chain store
I told you it was opened for the first time in 2020
But a huge group
opened it
I think it's expanding really fast
Now, in Hong Kong
There are about
18 stores
The good thing about this place is that
The environment looks
very clean
Yeah
It feels neat and well-organized, doesn't it?
It's kind of...
For a Hong Kong...
...restaurant...
It's really quite spacious...
...should I say?
It seems comfortable
Yeah
It does have that kind of feel
Right
Wow, just now
This drink arrived
Let's compare it
to my face again
This is...
Isn't it longer than my face?
Yeah
Why is it so long?
The cup shape is really interesting
The shape
It's bigger than my palm
But this could be an optical illusion actually
It's long but thin
It's really thin
The volume might actually be similar
It's good, right?
But
It's too sweet
Oh, this
It's not "less sweet," huh
It's not less sweet
Ah...
Oh, that's why I've recently discovered
This is supposed to be less sweet
But because some people don't like it too sweet
You should order without syrup
And just use the
Sugar on the side, it might be better, really
You can't adjust it this way
It's really sweet though
Here
It's kind of like...
It tastes like that "Heat Hunting" ice cream
Here it's almost completely sweet
Completely sweet
(Excessive sugar)
(Milk bottle display)
Just when we were really hungry
Finally something came out
But what is this?
I don't know what it is
It's Tofu skin on top
When you eat Hot Pot
You eat this a lot
Fried..
Tofu skin
That's right
Rice noodle
...and
(Searching)
Little bit of meat...
I told you that
The bowl is big
but it may not have enough noodle
Can you add the BGM?
Some sad BGM
I think I need it
(Sad)
(Not enough meat)
Actually I saw them eating
at the next table and ordered it
yes
But I think I made the wrong order
It looked really good
Why does mine
look like this?
Mostly someone else's food
looks delicious but...
The color is
what I thought at first
is that it has Cheonggukjang color
It is Mala though
Is it Mala?
Oh It's not Cheonggukjang
It has the color of Cheonggukjang
It reminds Doenjang Jjigae
I know
How is the taste though?
You really like noodles
I'm a bit disappointed
Really?
The soup is
hmm...
I don't know
(Sigh)
There is a different menu
at the next table
they are eating so well
I'm sorry but
I don't think this is right
As you know
The grass is always greener on the other side
Actually, it’s actually true
Theirs seems bigger
Mine is a little bit...
But when you look at it
other ingredients
like Huh Ng Leng
Looks very fresh
(Tasting fried tofu skin)
This is a delicacy
It tastes amazing
when you soak it in soup
Fried one
Fried soup
It's delicious
If we continue to eat like this
I think curry
and noodles
will change later
It's just my feeling, right?
Curry, hurry up and come out
(Ordering)
I think
I can make
the soup more delicious
Oh really?
Can I try the soup?
Okay
(Curiosity)
(Checking out)
Is it delicious?
Not good
It's a bit bland
The soup is just thick
Mala
I don't think it tastes like mala
Curry
Isn't this curry that you can see
in Hong Kong Cha Chanteng?
And rice
With rice
I actually
love Cha chaan teng curry
(Self introduction)
Hong Kong curry has its own charm
(Starting with meat)
The meat is so soft
It looks tender
It's much tenderer
This is...
Braised...
...With meats in it
To make curry...
(Noisy)
It's too noisy
(Conversation Over)
The lady speaks too loudly
Besides me
She keeps yelling
This dish seems to have been cooked with curry and meat
For a long time
So the sauce concentrates on the ingredients
It's so tender and excellent
(A bite of potato)
The potatoes in it are really delicious
What is different from other restaurants is
The potatoes aren't cooked with other ingredients
They are boiled separately
and then, the potatoes and other ingredients are finally cooked together
I think that's what is unique
Anyway the potatoes are so fresh and delicious
They have enough sauce in them
To be honest..
A cleaning truck was put
Right besides us
So I feel kind of uncomfortable
Ah
It was put right besides my mouth
You're right
So I feel uncomfortable
To eat
They'll lose points
(Noisy restaurant)
Finally, it's time to change dishes
(As expected)
What I expected is right
(Proud)
But on the menu before
It was said, "Level-Up Curry"
But I don't understand what has leveled up
(Curious)
It's delicious
But do you think this menu has anything unique?
I think it's more tender
(Agree)
Wow this curry is so spicy
Is it? I think so too
This is about as spicy as Shin...
Spicy flavor
Oh, is it that bad?
For me, the first few bites were okay
But after about three bites
It started to get spicy
The herb flavor is really strong
People who don't like it might just
(Stirring)
Oh, the noodles
As I eat this
They're starting to get soggy
No matter how much I eat, the amount doesn't seem to decrease
Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed
Overall?
Yeah
Why?
The hygiene score seems really low
It's chaotic
I know it's a holiday today, but
The food doesn't go down well
How was the taste?
Taste-wise, it's
Not bad, right?
But there's nothing special about it
That's true
Compared to its reputation
It's a bit disappointing
Actually...
Was that the case today?
Yes
That's right
I came with really high expectations today
Right
Actually, it's just
A regular cha chaan teng
Yeah
The price now is
(20,500 KRW) 118 HKD
(10,500 KRW) So, it's about 60 HKD per person
The price seems similar to other
Regular cha chaan tengs
Yeah
The portion size wasn't particularly large
Either
The taste was just okay?
So we'll continue to look for better places
And continue our Hong Kong journey
