I think there is really a lot of meat here
Really..
I finished all the noodles and keep eating,
only meat is left
- It seems like no matter how much meat you eat, it never ends - Too much
Wow, there's really too much meat
(Hong Kong Lunch)
(Kwun Tong, Hong Kong) Hello, this is Hong Kong Lunch
Where are the real hidden gem restaurants in Hong Kong?
There are many in these industrial buildings
It's really surprising
- The buildings aren't pretty or anything - Yes
- It's an old building - Yeah
Actually, the really delicious places in Hong Kong are
all here
Interestingly,
until about the 70s and 80s,
they were all industrial buildings,
but they don't operate like that anymore,
and the space is larger
(Entering inside)
Let me show you one of Hong Kong's industrial buildings
It's kind of like this, everyone
Since rent is expensive in Hong Kong,
it's easy for big chains to survive,
but these small shops or
newly starting shops
find it difficult to survive
But these industrial buildings
have relatively cheap rent,
so they have a very good structure for these shops to come in
So people come to shop a bit,
there are many good restaurants, kind of like that..
It's famous for that,
but you have to be okay with a bit of dirtiness
You have to put up with that
Yeah, yeah
You have to accept that
This delicious place here
We actually came last week
There were about 30 to 40 people
- lining up, so - Yes
- we gave up - Yes
So today, once again,
we came right when it opens,
and started again
(Just opened)
But inside, the space is really bigger than expected
And inside, it seems relatively well-decorated
Yes, compared to outside
Even I saw in a review,
you can place a gaming console here
All here..
You choose the noodles,
whether it's mixed noodles,
or whatever type,
choose any type of noodles like this,
then choose the toppings,
choose a drink,
It's like this
Or..
there are already 3 recommended options
It's a bit easier if you order that as it is
The reason this restaurant is so famous is,
In the Chun Moon area of Hong Kong,
apparently, there's a very famous Myeonshin restaurant
Almost the best Myeonshin restaurant
was opening here in the city as well
There are really a lot
Last time, there were really 40 people
We couldn't wait at all,
so we woke up early today
I think we came well
They give you a paper
to order via QR code like this,
but if you go in,
it's not that kind and straightforward
That's right
(Calling a staff)
(Sigh)
I..
Even though I'm a bit Gen Z,
I wonder if I should ask the staff here,
it's very embarrassing
It's okay
Last time, when I went to Ssamjang,
I couldn't order via QR code,
so I ordered on paper
(Traces of time)
(Noodles arrived)
Wow, first of all,
there are so many ingredients,
That's true
Here,
so at the forked snack,
on top of Aopai, put Myeonshin,
But it really looks very delicious
(Expecting)
Since there are many Myeonshin restaurants in Hong Kong,
it might not be that different, but
It's really delicious, isn't it?
That's right
(A sip of broth)
It's quite sour here
Oh, really?
(Second noodle arrived)
Mine just came out too
That's pork, right?
Pork intestine and fork
I ordered bibim noodles
Ah, I'm not really a big fan of intestines
I'm not the type to like intestines a lot
But Hong Kong people,
when they eat at places like this,
they always order these
- Right, they always eat them - Intestines
Hmm, it's tasty
Is it good?
It's very tender
(Worried)
Hmm, it's tender
It's okay
It doesn't smell much
(Relieved)
It's not that spicy
It's nice, it's nice
And they put in a lot of ingredients
Quite a lot
(ASMR)
Firstly, the noodles are very soft
The cooking level is just right
And I just tried the chifai,
it's slightly seasoned
- It's very tender - I don't think it's bad
Looking closely, in the sauce,
it seems like there's minced pork
Ah, originally in maixin,
minced pork is included
Oh, really? In the stir-fried noodles?
(Basic minced pork)
What I like is,
the noodles here are a bit chewy
Right? The noodles are tasty, right?
Jujube or..
things like meat,
if you don't want those,
you don't have to add them
(Pork neck)
The meat is tasty
Isn't it tasty?
- Yeah, it's seasoned - It's really tender
- Yeah, yeah - It's seasoned
It seems like it's slightly honey-glazed
Right? You can taste the honey, right?
Yeah, yeah
It's really tender
People keep coming here
Right
The meat is a bit different
Compared to places that sell rice cake-like noodles,
it's slightly more expensive
I think it's about 20 to 30 dollars more expensive,
but the portions are large
Right
The quality of the meat is good
Right, that's a good point
Honestly, we ordered this beef tripe,
and the first two bites are really decent
But as I keep eating it, it's a bit..
Honestly, it's not my taste
It seems like Hong Kong people order this when they order Maixin
I guess I'm not a Hong Kong person
To become a Hong Kong person, you have to order this
I don't think I can become a Hong Kong person
The smell..
Since it's not heavily seasoned..
in Korea, beef tripe and pork intestines are usually eaten with a lot of seasoning
That's why people usually eat it that way
No, we just eat it as it is
Right? It's almost raw
So it can't help but have a bit of a smell
And also beef tripe,
but to become a Hong Kong person,
you have to try it
Why do you keep trying to become a Hong Kong person?
I'm not a Hong Kong person already
(An unchangeable difference)
So this beef tripe definitely has mixed opinions, everyone
There are no foreigners here
(No English)
For foreigners, it's a bit..
- hard to try - Right
How do people find out about this place?
Since it's a really famous place in Chulmun,
I do know the name
If you search the name, it comes up
This is the first branch here
(Reason for popularity)
Everyone, here..
It seems like there's really a lot of meat here
Really..
I finished all the noodles and kept eating, but only the meat is left
- No matter how much meat I eat, it seems endless - So much
Wow, there's really so much meat
(Open kitchen)
When we went in,
there weren't many people,
but by the time we left, it was packed
It's a really popular restaurant
In fact, the taste was really good,
especially the amount of meat was too much
- That's right - I was really full
(About 26,393 KRW) The price for two came out to 152 dollars
(About 13,026 KRW) About 75 dollars each?
For noodles..
It's a bit pricey
It is
But it's definitely worth it
It was really delicious and satisfying
So next time, we'll find an even better place,
and continue our Hong Kong trip
