This place is super popular
not just with tourists,
but with locals
and Hongkongers too
(Hong Kong Lunch)
(Jordan, Hong Kong) Hello, this is Hong Kong dinner
Actually, this restaurant,
if you've ever traveled to Hong Kong,
you've probably been here at least once
-Right, right -Kind of... yes
It's a pretty famous restaurant
It's extremely famous,
but actually, it also has a very deep history
It seems to be a traditional restaurant
Yes
My father
(???)
has been a regular since he was in elementary school
Wow
So how many years is that, really?
(Crowded)
(Milk pudding)
(Simple menu)
Back in my elementary school days,
there were really a lot of things like this
It's rare to see them in bottles these days
Not many left
The waiters are very..
They shout
and have a very bad attitude
And if you don't eat within 30 minutes, they get annoyed,
and really get angry
So it's quite famous for that too
But
(Unexpectedly)
In the last 10 years, it's not like that
It's very different from when I was young
And since it's an old restaurant,
all the waiters are men
Right, right
Compared to other places
And first of all, we..
The table is this small,
and we're sharing it with two people
Actually, when you come here,
unlike other tourist menus,
they don't say it like this,
but you have to order this set menu
Breakfast set
And there's only an all-day set
There are only those two options
First of all, coming here,
as far as I remember,
I was about.. in first grade of elementary school
I really came here since I was about 6 or 7 years old
It's the same
Even the tables are really the same
What's interesting here is,
I want to order drinks together,
but they never serve them together
- You have to order them later - And
you must do it that way
That's the way they do it here
It's really unique
You can't follow it any other way
You just have to do it that way
Now, after ordering,
(Absurd)
in just 30 seconds,
the food comes out
What's this? Why does it come out so fast?
It's really fast
And there's only one menu
Other than that..
Unless you have dessert,
the next table is actually having dessert,
but we just have that menu set
Now, there are only
two choices
It's either with macaroni,
or with pasta noodles
The soup inside,
and the chashu inside,
- are just fixed - That's right
Yes, you can't choose
They call the macaroni 'tong ban',
and they call the pasta noodles 'i ban'
The menu I've been eating since elementary school
has been the same since I was 6 years old
It has never changed
(In a hurry)
It's really delicious
The soup is also very..
- rich - That's right
Yes, and..
They also give a lot of meat
- It's not that expensive either - That's right
(Perfect trio)
(Bread, ham, and eggs served together)
It looks just like this
If we add 1 dollar
and I recommend adding it
It becomes a toast
This is toast in Cantonese
Like this, on the toast
with ham and egg
fried egg or scrambled egg
You can choose one of the two
(Toast has butter on it)
If you want to eat rice
You might be disappointed when you come here
There is no rice here
There are only noodles and toast
And the really special thing is
Like I just said,
most of the
“must-visit” spots you see on travel blogs or websites?
Honestly, about 90% of them aren’t places locals actually go to
But a lot of locals actually go here
Every time we eat here, we talk with friends
It's a restaurant known by Hong Kong people
(National favorite restaurant)
It's a traditional Hong Kong breakfast
With noodles, bread, and eggs
and even a drink
Isn't it a bit strange to eat this in the evening?
Oh, I find it strange
At first, I couldn't get used to it
- Yes, yes - I need to eat rice, but there's no rice
Since there's only noodles
But now I've gotten used to it
I guess I've become a Hong Kong person now
But surely, the char siu here is much softer than other places
(Melts in the mouth)
The food is simple
But you can feel the skill of this place
It definitely has a special point compared to other places
(Local adaptation complete)
Hong Kong people
put eggs and ham on bread
and eat it like this
Together like this?
But another characteristic of Hong Kong people is
they don't care much about others
It's okay to eat however you want
It doesn't matter at all
You can eat it however you like
You don't have to care so much about others' views
Alright, so when can you
order drinks at this restaurant?
Once you’re almost done eating
like when the table starts clearing a bit
that’s when you can order your drink
(Milk tea and lemon tea)
It doesn't seem like you can eat leisurely and comfortably
(Strong denial)
People come to consume
(Caution)
They consume while being stressed
Yes, it's a bit of a strange concept
(A cup of tea when feeling greasy)
There are two famous puddings here
One is milk pudding
It looks like this
It's really just pudding made from fresh milk
There are warm ones and cold ones
The other is almond egg
It looks yellow
So they ask if you want yellow pudding
or if you want white pudding
This is the white pudding
Of course
(Embarrassed)
This is actually the most famous one
(Jiggly)
(Hong Kong style dessert)
But it doesn't seem to contain just pure milk
There's a bit of egg white, right?
Yes, yes
It's sweet and soft
After eating everything
it's perfect as a dessert
Wow, I feel so good
- After we've eaten all the food now - Yes
- the food was really delicious, actually - Yes
It's not just tasty
It's a place with some memories for Hong Kong people
From really old people
to just young people
everyone seems to like this place
It really seems amazing
(26,496 KRW) The current price came out to 151 HKD
We now
ordered each set menu
drinks,
and even ordered a dessert
- It only came out to 151 HKD? - Yes
The price was really nice, and we ate happily
So next time, we'll find a more delicious place
and continue our Hong Kong trip
