Oh, personally, I..
I don't really like tomato with broth..
Is it okay?
(Greeting)
(Hong Kong Lunch)
(Central, Hong Kong) This place is really famous, actually
Oh, that... this is
- The place where Mr. Baek Jong-won went, right? - That's right
This place shows up in tons of videos
and even locals all know about it
Oh,
So honestly, I think it’s always been a Hong Kong hotspot
So even though
I’ve lived here for over five years,
it feels like I must visit
I know, I've never been either
We’ve brought you here today...
at a very important moment
Great, let's go together
It's got that...
old-school local vibe
Actually, the weather isn't great
It's raining quite a bit, but there are still a lot of people
But when it rains like this, it adds to the vibe
That's right
It’s one of those days
when you're craving noodles and broth
That's right
[Raining]
The line shortens faster than I thought
Here now..
After two people, I think we can get in
This place is truly local, actually
The aunties and uncles here don't speak English
It's 100% local
We're a bit lucky
- Because it's raining - Right
Maybe that's why there are fewer people
That could be possible
That could be
(Entering)
The menu is in English
and Chinese, all kindly displayed
The noodle dishes are listed right up front
It seems like the main dishes
and drinks are listed at the back
They say the toast buns are famous too
How about this?
- Good, good - The most expensive one
(Ready)
(Order Complete)
The lady is writing something very slowly
I know
I don't know if what she wrote is correct
This is..
It's not noodles
(Surprised)
Macaroni
Oh, macaroni?
Oh, macaroni is fine
Is it okay?
Looking here, macaroni is half and half..
They're having it
(A restaurant like a movie scene)
(5 minutes later)
This is actually the most expensive dish here
(9,538 KRW) It's 52 dollars
Right
Macaroni and chicken wings
plus a pork chop
It's a set with them together
Wow, then you’ve
got to try it, man
Should I try it?
(Challenge)
Personally, I don't really like
tomatoes with broth
Is it okay?
(Greeting)
I need to hear it first
I need to hear feedback first
To be honest, I like it
Is it okay?
Yes, for me
this is..
thicker than I thought
And..
I actually like this kind of broth
I like tomato-based broth
But this can be quite polarizing
(Starting with the broth)
The broth isn't as sour as I thought
(Cautious)
I also think it's not bad, surprisingly
Surprisingly,
the broth is fine too
The macaroni is well-cooked
I see
Usually, for those who
enjoy tomato hot pot
would like thiis
(Dessert arrives)
I ordered a bun
It's with kaya jam
and condensed milk inside
I can smell a certain aroma
Maybe because of that
Because of that aroma
there’s no meat smell at all
There’s no typical pork smell here
(Clean combination)
There are really many places that sell macaroni soup
with tomato base
But they always sell it with something else
With other soup bases too
Right, right
But I haven’t seen a place that sells only tomato
Right, right
I think this is a unique point
When I go to other
cha chaan teng or places like that..
In Aoyok
there's that
noodle place, you know
Where they also sell ramen
and eat with lazo sauce
People tend to eat that a lot
I think it’s my first time ordering and eating tomato base
(First experience)
When paying
they come over
check
and you pay cash on the spot
That's right
They didn't give a receipt at first
Right
They come over again to check and write
and showed the price
They don’t give a receipt
But this
feels like Hong Kong people's soul food
The person in front scraped the soup clean
Right, right
Like how we eat gukbap
Right
I don’t think we’re quite at that level
(Agree)
They eat well
Oh, as I eat..
I can’t eat all...
You said you couldn't eat it,
but you eat better than me
As I eat, it's delicious
(Localized)
The visual is amazing
(Crisp)
Wow, it's really crispy
But the bread seems a bit different
It felt a bit smaller there
I wonder if it's a different type
It feels a bit like a baguette
rather than a bun
After this
tomato soup
Right
this just hits different, seriously
A bit sweet and salty
Sweet and salty, really sweet and salty
A perfect combination
(Checking)
And now that I’m looking...
there’s sugar on every table
I think some people add it to the soup
- when they eat it - I see
You can adjust it according to that
I really enjoyed eating here
Ah, it was so... so good
Were you satisfied?
The old Hong Kong vibe after a long time
(28,238 KRW) The price came out to 154 HKD,
so considering it's lunch, it's not that bad
- It's cheap, actually for two people - It's okay
Yes, for two people
And also the vibe of Hong Kong,
being able to get the feel of Hong Kong,
is another advantage
That's right
So next time, we'll find a tastier place,
and continue our Hong Kong trip
