1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.900
(Hong Kong, Sheung Wan)

2
00:00:01.900 --> 00:00:02.981
In the Sheung Wan area of Hong Kong

3
00:00:02.982 --> 00:00:04.382
Fairly old

4
00:00:04.382 --> 00:00:06.470
but not particularly bad

5
00:00:06.656 --> 00:00:08.817
restaurants that many people stand in line for are there a lot

6
00:00:08.817 --> 00:00:09.480
Oh, really?

7
00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:11.900
The restaurant we're going to today is one of them

8
00:00:12.541 --> 00:00:14.622
They serve one of the most common

9
00:00:14.622 --> 00:00:15.523
dishes in Hong Kong, actually

10
00:00:15.523 --> 00:00:18.223
(Long waiting line)

11
00:00:18.223 --> 00:00:19.780
Isn't it surprising that for such a rundown restaurant

12
00:00:19.781 --> 00:00:21.121
This many people are waiting to get in

13
00:00:21.341 --> 00:00:22.420
It's really unbelievable right now

14
00:00:22.420 --> 00:00:24.620
This many people are waiting for this since the morning?

15
00:00:24.620 --> 00:00:25.400
Just to have lunch?

16
00:00:25.400 --> 00:00:28.060
One might mistake it for a Netflix show, Black and white chef's star chef restaurant

17
00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:30.280
Is it Hong Kong's star chef restaurant?

18
00:00:30.281 --> 00:00:31.200
Wow, really

19
00:00:31.200 --> 00:00:33.861
There must be something different from common restaurants

20
00:00:34.061 --> 00:00:34.939
I'm curious about that difference

21
00:00:34.940 --> 00:00:35.780
Me, too

22
00:00:35.780 --> 00:00:37.680
Is it a restaurant that makes you look forward to it?

23
00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:39.080
Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it

24
00:00:39.080 --> 00:00:39.720
(Acquired the menu)

25
00:00:39.720 --> 00:00:41.000
The menu is very neat and well made

26
00:00:41.001 --> 00:00:41.760
There even is a picture

27
00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:43.941
It's special that we pre-order while waiting

28
00:00:44.301 --> 00:00:44.980
Before we get in

29
00:00:44.980 --> 00:00:46.700
we have to pre-order

30
00:00:46.701 --> 00:00:48.280
and we cannot make additional orders once inside

31
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:49.400
Honestly

32
00:00:49.401 --> 00:00:50.917
Currently, the time waiting

33
00:00:50.917 --> 00:00:53.315
and the food

34
00:00:53.475 --> 00:00:54.975
there's nothing satisfying so far

35
00:00:54.976 --> 00:00:55.560
Oh, right, right,

36
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:56.160
There are too many people

37
00:00:56.161 --> 00:00:57.000
Yea, there are too many people

38
00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:58.680
and it seems like the air conditioner isn't even working inside

39
00:00:58.680 --> 00:00:59.760
The air conditioner isn't working

40
00:00:59.900 --> 00:01:01.140
and it's embarrassing

41
00:01:01.740 --> 00:01:03.420
what are you embarrassed about

42
00:01:04.060 --> 00:01:05.560
It's so crowded

43
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:06.960
But people are

44
00:01:07.081 --> 00:01:08.515
waiting 20 to 30 minutes

45
00:01:08.516 --> 00:01:09.856
just to get into a cha chaan teng

46
00:01:09.856 --> 00:01:10.640
I know

47
00:01:10.761 --> 00:01:12.250
It seems like it took us about 30 minutes, too

48
00:01:12.250 --> 00:01:13.052
Just to get in

49
00:01:13.800 --> 00:01:15.080
But if it was something else

50
00:01:15.080 --> 00:01:16.101
we probably wouldn't have waited

51
00:01:16.101 --> 00:01:18.241
I'm actually more curious because it's a cha chaan teng

52
00:01:18.241 --> 00:01:18.902
(Anticipation)

53
00:01:18.902 --> 00:01:21.182
(Look of an old restaurant)

54
00:01:21.182 --> 00:01:23.000
First of all, the prices are quite steep

55
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:24.660
It's almost like double, isn't it?

56
00:01:25.080 --> 00:01:27.241
What we're curious about is

57
00:01:27.441 --> 00:01:28.770
How big of a difference there is

58
00:01:28.771 --> 00:01:29.550
I agree

59
00:01:29.550 --> 00:01:31.680
These kinds of menus are actually everywhere

60
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:33.920
What makes it so different that people wait for it?

61
00:01:33.921 --> 00:01:34.841
That's it, in the end

62
00:01:34.841 --> 00:01:36.240
But the interesting point is

63
00:01:36.241 --> 00:01:38.281
It seems it's not just locals coming

64
00:01:38.481 --> 00:01:39.580
There seem to be quite a few tourists, too

65
00:01:39.580 --> 00:01:41.260
- There were some Koreans behind us
- Right, right, right

66
00:01:41.260 --> 00:01:42.720
It's famous among locals, too

67
00:01:42.721 --> 00:01:44.120
So it's a place with quite a few tourists

68
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:46.800
The descriptions are in five languages

69
00:01:46.801 --> 00:01:47.921
(descriptions)

70
00:01:47.921 --> 00:01:49.560
It seems like a variety of people come

71
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:52.060
I guess I'm not an outside person yet

72
00:01:52.060 --> 00:01:53.380
Places like this still scare me

73
00:01:53.380 --> 00:01:54.340
- Not used to it?
- No

74
00:01:54.340 --> 00:01:56.260
Two drinks have been served first

75
00:01:56.500 --> 00:01:57.180
They are lemon tea

76
00:01:57.180 --> 00:01:59.720
Some meals here include drinks

77
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.000
But in your order, it wasn't included

78
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:03.300
I think they charge your drink separately

79
00:02:03.300 --> 00:02:04.040
Oh, really?

80
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:04.520
This is 20 dollars

81
00:02:04.520 --> 00:02:05.066
Just this is 20 dollars?

82
00:02:05.066 --> 00:02:06.340
Yes, just that is 20 dollars

83
00:02:06.340 --> 00:02:07.060
That's quite steep

84
00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:09.000
It feels like a premium drink

85
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:11.620
The exterior of the store and the menu..

86
00:02:11.974 --> 00:02:13.454
The prices are very different

87
00:02:13.454 --> 00:02:15.121
At first glance, it looked like a cheap restaurant

88
00:02:15.121 --> 00:02:16.387
It felt like they would have cheap dishes

89
00:02:16.387 --> 00:02:16.960
Right?

90
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:19.080
I thought I could eat for about 30-40 dollars

91
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:21.360
But there are some cheap menus, too

92
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:22.060
There are, there are

93
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.080
It seems noodles are cheaper than rice

94
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:26.040
I think I ordered expensive ones

95
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:27.320
I think I ordered the premium menu

96
00:02:27.320 --> 00:02:28.820
But all others ordered rice

97
00:02:28.860 --> 00:02:29.980
No one ordered noodles

98
00:02:29.980 --> 00:02:32.120
But the menu people order

99
00:02:32.121 --> 00:02:33.378
seems to be about 70 dollars

100
00:02:33.378 --> 00:02:34.180
Right, right

101
00:02:34.180 --> 00:02:36.440
Is there a menu similar to lemon tea in Korea?

102
00:02:36.441 --> 00:02:37.541
(Thinking)

103
00:02:37.541 --> 00:02:38.040
No, there isn't

104
00:02:38.040 --> 00:02:39.680
I think this is really something special about Hong Kong

105
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:40.800
Right, lemon tea is..

106
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:42.300
I crave this when I'm in Korea

107
00:02:42.300 --> 00:02:43.380
Oh, really

108
00:02:43.643 --> 00:02:45.203
I remembered and went to convenience stores..

109
00:02:45.503 --> 00:02:47.421
Trying all kinds of iced tea

110
00:02:47.421 --> 00:02:49.001
I tried all the lemon tea there is

111
00:02:49.121 --> 00:02:49.660
They aren't the same, right?

112
00:02:49.660 --> 00:02:50.800
Yea, they are different

113
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:52.141
Lemon tea is delicious here

114
00:02:52.141 --> 00:02:52.900
(Refreshing)

115
00:02:52.900 --> 00:02:54.240
We ordered in advance

116
00:02:54.241 --> 00:02:55.241
but it didn't mean that they serve faster

117
00:02:55.241 --> 00:02:55.740
Slower than I thought

118
00:02:55.740 --> 00:02:56.240
Oh, that's right

119
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:58.600
I also thought they were going to serve the food soon after we came in

120
00:02:58.601 --> 00:02:59.120
That's what I thought, too

121
00:02:59.120 --> 00:02:59.960
Don't think that was the case

122
00:02:59.960 --> 00:03:01.900
You need some waiting time outside

123
00:03:01.901 --> 00:03:02.565
and inside as well

124
00:03:02.565 --> 00:03:04.560
Well, just looking at the restaurant's atmosphere

125
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:06.720
It doesn't even seem hygienic

126
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:08.520
and it looks old

127
00:03:08.920 --> 00:03:10.620
So it seems there shouldn't be many people

128
00:03:10.620 --> 00:03:11.120
That's right

129
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:12.360
There are many interesting aspects

130
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.240
Rice with bean sprouts, pork

131
00:03:15.241 --> 00:03:16.665
and egg together

132
00:03:16.780 --> 00:03:18.340
I like bean sprouts, so I ordered this

133
00:03:18.341 --> 00:03:19.040
(Bean sprout maniac)

134
00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:20.240
Oh, mine came out right away

135
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:21.900
Egg and pork

136
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:23.160
but no bean sprouts, right?

137
00:03:23.160 --> 00:03:24.820
It took like 40 or 50 minutes, right?

138
00:03:24.820 --> 00:03:25.695
(Requires patience)

139
00:03:25.695 --> 00:03:26.540
Including everything

140
00:03:26.540 --> 00:03:27.320
If you include everything

141
00:03:27.320 --> 00:03:29.540
But the visual of the food looks delicious, more than I thought

142
00:03:29.540 --> 00:03:31.000
The most important is the meat actually, right?

143
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:31.661
More than anything else

144
00:03:31.661 --> 00:03:32.123
(Prelude)

145
00:03:32.123 --> 00:03:32.780
(Interlude)

146
00:03:32.780 --> 00:03:34.060
Try the meat, it's really tender

147
00:03:34.060 --> 00:03:34.840
Is yours delicious?

148
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:37.020
First of all, the vegetables are evenly cooked

149
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:38.400
The meat is delicious

150
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:39.820
The meat is definitely different

151
00:03:39.820 --> 00:03:41.820
And this, along with the condition of the meat

152
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:43.980
The taste of soy sauce is also very important

153
00:03:44.220 --> 00:03:45.020
Overall,

154
00:03:45.020 --> 00:03:45.760
the sauce is delicious

155
00:03:45.760 --> 00:03:46.560
The sauce here is delicious

156
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:48.201
It's slightly sweet and delicious

157
00:03:48.201 --> 00:03:48.840
Oh, thank you

158
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:49.940
It's really delicious

159
00:03:49.940 --> 00:03:50.523
Isn't it good?

160
00:03:50.524 --> 00:03:51.280
(Satisfied)

161
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.580
It feels like a Japanese-style stir-fried bean sprouts, right?

162
00:03:53.580 --> 00:03:55.300
You have to come out to these island areas

163
00:03:55.300 --> 00:03:57.060
to feel like you're living in Hong Kong

164
00:03:57.060 --> 00:03:58.440
It's because there are a lot of old places like this

165
00:03:58.440 --> 00:04:00.200
Right, when you're at school

166
00:04:00.200 --> 00:04:01.300
you don't know if this is Hong Kong

167
00:04:01.300 --> 00:04:02.741
or if you're living in the mountains

168
00:04:02.741 --> 00:04:03.240
Right?

169
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:04.360
It's really delicious

170
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:05.640
I don't think I can wait for 50 minutes

171
00:04:05.640 --> 00:04:06.240
(Inside voices)

172
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:07.820
I think I'd eat for this price

173
00:04:07.820 --> 00:04:08.640
But 50 minutes..

174
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:10.000
I'd be okay with 30 minutes of waiting

175
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.120
So if you don't want to wait in line

176
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:13.800
the best way would be

177
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:15.120
since they open at 7

178
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:16.800
Come here right at 7 in the morning

179
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:17.900
and have breakfast

180
00:04:18.460 --> 00:04:19.420
If you're not lazy?

181
00:04:19.420 --> 00:04:20.580
Are the breakfast menus the same here?

182
00:04:20.580 --> 00:04:21.220
Yes, they're the same

183
00:04:21.220 --> 00:04:22.280
I think they close at 4

184
00:04:22.280 --> 00:04:23.500
Do they serve the same things from morning?

185
00:04:23.500 --> 00:04:25.620
Actually, there are several types of this dish

186
00:04:25.620 --> 00:04:27.140
There was a tomato base

187
00:04:27.140 --> 00:04:28.640
and one that included vegetables

188
00:04:28.640 --> 00:04:29.580
Depending on your preference

189
00:04:29.580 --> 00:04:31.858
you can just order the sauce base you like

190
00:04:32.058 --> 00:04:34.360
I saw earlier, you could add eggs

191
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:35.220
Extra eggs?

192
00:04:35.220 --> 00:04:36.440
Oh right, there was one below, wasn't there?

193
00:04:36.440 --> 00:04:37.600
Yes, there was this option

194
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:39.420
and if you add things like sausage and egg

195
00:04:39.420 --> 00:04:40.120
was it $6?

196
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:40.880
Yes, but the egg is delicious

197
00:04:40.880 --> 00:04:41.380
The egg is delicious

198
00:04:41.380 --> 00:04:43.360
Do you feel like coming again next time?

199
00:04:43.520 --> 00:04:44.180
As you eat?

200
00:04:44.180 --> 00:04:45.060
Sure

201
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:47.000
You won't be able to eat this once you go to school

202
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:48.120
You'll never be able to eat it again

203
00:04:48.380 --> 00:04:50.680
What I mentioned earlier was

204
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:52.500
before eating the fried egg

205
00:04:53.020 --> 00:04:54.621
When you eat it with the fried egg

206
00:04:54.901 --> 00:04:55.780
it's amazing

207
00:04:55.780 --> 00:04:57.920
Before eating, I was like how can one wait for 50 minutes

208
00:04:57.920 --> 00:04:59.920
I was strongly against

209
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:01.184
I'll wait a bit

210
00:05:01.185 --> 00:05:02.180
(Reed)

211
00:05:02.180 --> 00:05:03.680
A bit common, but an uncommon taste?

212
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:05.180
The ingredients are definitely what we know

213
00:05:05.180 --> 00:05:06.900
but the taste isn't that common

214
00:05:06.900 --> 00:05:08.000
It's interesting, but the taste is

215
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:08.920
How is the amount of meat?

216
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:09.980
The amount of meat is..

217
00:05:09.981 --> 00:05:12.261
I wish there was more

218
00:05:12.261 --> 00:05:14.840
This place compete with quality over quantity

219
00:05:14.840 --> 00:05:16.420
It doesn't seem like a place that serves a huge amount

220
00:05:16.420 --> 00:05:19.280
Since the space is a bit cramped and people are in line

221
00:05:19.280 --> 00:05:20.880
it feels like you can't sit for long

222
00:05:20.881 --> 00:05:21.700
Yea

223
00:05:21.700 --> 00:05:23.780
We stayed there less than the half the time we spent waiting

224
00:05:24.140 --> 00:05:26.280
50 minutes of waiting, 20 minutes of eating

225
00:05:26.880 --> 00:05:28.500
We finished everything in 1 hour and 10 minutes

226
00:05:28.500 --> 00:05:30.980
For example, when there's a place famous for pork stir-fry rice

227
00:05:31.380 --> 00:05:34.000
For those who oppose the idea of going to such places shouldn't come

228
00:05:34.001 --> 00:05:34.660
Right, right

229
00:05:34.660 --> 00:05:36.900
But can pork stir-fry rice taste like that?

230
00:05:36.900 --> 00:05:38.801
Those who are a bit curious can come

231
00:05:38.801 --> 00:05:39.580
Exactly, exactly

232
00:05:39.580 --> 00:05:41.080
But I think the taste is guaranteed

233
00:05:41.080 --> 00:05:42.640
Yes, the food tasted good

234
00:05:42.640 --> 00:05:45.580
The price came out to be 166 HKD (￦29,760)

235
00:05:45.580 --> 00:05:47.760
It's about 80 HKD (￦14,340) per person

236
00:05:47.760 --> 00:05:49.360
Usually, a set is about 70 HKD (￦12,550)

237
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:51.240
And that bean sprout you ordered

238
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:52.440
that was 76 dollars (￦13,620)

239
00:05:52.440 --> 00:05:53.520
That seems like a premium menu

240
00:05:53.520 --> 00:05:54.100
Right

241
00:05:54.101 --> 00:05:55.000
Drinks were not included

242
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:57.000
So next time, we'll find a tastier place and

243
00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.380
continue our Hong Kong trip

244
00:05:59.381 --> 00:06:00.381
Joikin

245
00:06:01.554 --> 00:06:14.630
HKL's three-line review
1. Worth the 50 minute wait
2. Ordinary ingredients, but special taste
3. The softest pork stir-fry rice
