1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,260
I’m going to put it in

2
00:00:01,260 --> 00:00:02,320
I'm so curious

3
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:03,580
(Magic powder)

4
00:00:04,353 --> 00:00:05,353
(Happiness together)

5
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:06,420
Ah!

6
00:00:06,420 --> 00:00:07,520
Ah... sweet potato

7
00:00:07,740 --> 00:00:08,380
Is it sweet potato?

8
00:00:08,380 --> 00:00:10,160
Sweet potato, sweet potato, sweet potato

9
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:11,200
Now I get it

10
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:12,405
(Hong Kong Lunch)

11
00:00:12,405 --> 00:00:14,425
(Kwun Tong, Hong Kong)

12
00:00:14,845 --> 00:00:16,500
Well, in this old building,

13
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:18,999
there are actually good restaurants hidden in Hong Kong

14
00:00:19,299 --> 00:00:20,979
So I came here first to check it out

15
00:00:21,119 --> 00:00:23,260
Especially in this Kwun Tong area,

16
00:00:23,260 --> 00:00:25,740
there are so many good restaurants hidden in this building

17
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,220
So I wanted to

18
00:00:27,420 --> 00:00:28,580
show you more of

19
00:00:28,580 --> 00:00:29,816
 Hong Kong’s culture

20
00:00:30,100 --> 00:00:31,440
Do you like noodles?

21
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:32,420
Yes, I like them, I eat them often

22
00:00:32,420 --> 00:00:32,899
Do you like noodles?

23
00:00:32,899 --> 00:00:33,400
Okay

24
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:34,644
Then I think you'll really like it

25
00:00:34,844 --> 00:00:35,919
(Entering inside)

26
00:00:35,919 --> 00:00:37,459
This feels like a tasty Taiwanese spot

27
00:00:37,460 --> 00:00:38,837
-here in Kwun Tong
-Yes

28
00:00:38,997 --> 00:00:40,460
-You also cook, right?
-Yes

29
00:00:40,620 --> 00:00:42,480
From a chief's perspective,

30
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:44,200
I want you to taste it

31
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:45,000
Got it

32
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:46,280
Are you confident about this?

33
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:47,200
No, I'm not

34
00:00:47,201 --> 00:00:48,261
(Casting failure)

35
00:00:48,620 --> 00:00:50,000
-It's just giving a try
-Yes

36
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,260
I saw on Google reviews that

37
00:00:51,260 --> 00:00:53,100
-this place was rated as super delicious
-Yes

38
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:54,880
So I am looking forward to it

39
00:00:55,580 --> 00:00:57,199
The menu is posted right out front

40
00:00:57,595 --> 00:00:58,595
 like this

41
00:01:01,028 --> 00:01:01,908
(Entering)

42
00:01:02,219 --> 00:01:03,180
Oh wow, it’s so cool

43
00:01:03,180 --> 00:01:04,540
 how the colors come in so many varieties

44
00:01:04,699 --> 00:01:06,540
You can order like this

45
00:01:06,540 --> 00:01:07,400
There is a piece of paper

46
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,680
It seems to be a format where you mark it and submit it

47
00:01:10,060 --> 00:01:11,499
Ah, and the drinks are

48
00:01:11,816 --> 00:01:12,996
-yellow
-Yes

49
00:01:13,179 --> 00:01:14,739
In the case of small dishes, it's pink

50
00:01:14,739 --> 00:01:16,199
The main is white

51
00:01:16,199 --> 00:01:18,000
Is a small dish something like a dessert?

52
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,319
-It's like a side dish
-I got it

53
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:20,419
Something like fried chicken wings

54
00:01:20,420 --> 00:01:21,587
that comes in small portions

55
00:01:22,050 --> 00:01:23,040
(Order complete)

56
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:24,679
Aren't you too nervous?

57
00:01:24,679 --> 00:01:25,340
Me?

58
00:01:25,740 --> 00:01:26,380
It's my first time..

59
00:01:26,381 --> 00:01:28,117
I can't say I wasn't nervous at all

60
00:01:28,117 --> 00:01:29,039
Right, right

61
00:01:29,239 --> 00:01:30,780
Now this is what we ordered

62
00:01:30,780 --> 00:01:32,442
It's a slightly fermented egg

63
00:01:32,719 --> 00:01:33,202
Try eating this

64
00:01:33,202 --> 00:01:34,122
It will be a very good experience

65
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:35,199
You don't have to be too scared

66
00:01:35,199 --> 00:01:35,800
Okay

67
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:36,599
It might be more familiar than you think

68
00:01:36,599 --> 00:01:37,199
Should I eat it first?

69
00:01:37,199 --> 00:01:38,000
Go ahead, eat it first

70
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,441
But if you just ferment it,

71
00:01:39,441 --> 00:01:40,661
does it become transparent like this?

72
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:41,719
That's amazing

73
00:01:41,719 --> 00:01:43,239
- But I don't know exactly how they make it
- Yes

74
00:01:43,239 --> 00:01:45,339
It definitely tastes different from the eggs I've had

75
00:01:45,339 --> 00:01:46,199
Okay

76
00:01:46,312 --> 00:01:47,552
(Nervous)

77
00:01:48,199 --> 00:01:48,800
It's not bad

78
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,000
-Not bad?
-Yes

79
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:50,599
I..

80
00:01:50,823 --> 00:01:53,463
I don't really like boiled eggs

81
00:01:53,599 --> 00:01:55,662
But I think it's much better than just plain boiled eggs

82
00:01:55,662 --> 00:01:56,479
(Unexpected)

83
00:01:56,479 --> 00:01:58,219
It's a little less dry and also..

84
00:01:58,679 --> 00:02:00,520
Since it's seasoned like this,

85
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,800
I do like bland things

86
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,599
-I like the wasabi-like feeling
-Ah

87
00:02:04,599 --> 00:02:06,199
-That sharp feeling
-Yeah

88
00:02:06,199 --> 00:02:07,741
Since those are mixed,

89
00:02:07,741 --> 00:02:08,642
it's much tastier

90
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,000
-Oh, nice
-Right

91
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:10,920
This is..

92
00:02:10,921 --> 00:02:12,020
Now beef..

93
00:02:12,244 --> 00:02:13,244
Beef noodle soup

94
00:02:13,860 --> 00:02:14,859
A classic dish

95
00:02:14,859 --> 00:02:16,358
 that’s super famous in traditional Taiwanese cuisine

96
00:02:16,358 --> 00:02:17,239
We ordered one

97
00:02:17,239 --> 00:02:18,700
Oh, this broth..

98
00:02:20,060 --> 00:02:21,200
It's very rich

99
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,060
This might be one of the richest

100
00:02:23,061 --> 00:02:24,861
 beef noodle soups I’ve ever had

101
00:02:30,820 --> 00:02:32,320
It's so good

102
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,279
Do you want to try some soup?

103
00:02:33,619 --> 00:02:34,619
Can I try it?

104
00:02:35,169 --> 00:02:36,519
(Expecting a reaction)

105
00:02:36,519 --> 00:02:37,380
-Hmm...
-Right, right?

106
00:02:37,380 --> 00:02:38,550
-Isn't it rich?
-Yes

107
00:02:38,550 --> 00:02:40,020
(Proud)

108
00:02:40,220 --> 00:02:41,280
This is..

109
00:02:41,281 --> 00:02:42,701
We ordered a rice bowl dish

110
00:02:42,701 --> 00:02:44,419
This is a rice bowl

111
00:02:44,420 --> 00:02:46,255
 mainly with pork neck meat

112
00:02:46,255 --> 00:02:47,299
It's Taiwanese style

113
00:02:47,299 --> 00:02:48,419
I just mix it all together, right?

114
00:02:48,419 --> 00:02:49,399
Some people like to mix everything,

115
00:02:49,399 --> 00:02:50,560
but according to your preference,

116
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,181
if you prefer it less mixed,

117
00:02:52,181 --> 00:02:53,281
 you can just eat it as it is

118
00:02:53,727 --> 00:02:54,627
(Sauce appears)

119
00:02:55,580 --> 00:02:56,360
They say to add the sauce together

120
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:56,881
If needed

121
00:02:56,881 --> 00:02:57,838
This is somehow..

122
00:02:57,838 --> 00:03:00,058
doesn't look like a sauce...

123
00:03:03,259 --> 00:03:05,660
This is your first time trying Taiwanese food in your life

124
00:03:05,660 --> 00:03:07,600
First off, the pork is really good

125
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,640
At first it just looks tender,

126
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:10,721
but you can see the outside 

127
00:03:10,721 --> 00:03:12,619
-is nice and crispy
-Oh

128
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,559
I thought it’d be

129
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,519
really greasy,

130
00:03:16,519 --> 00:03:18,320
 but it actually has a hint of nutty flavor too

131
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:21,259
I want to try adding it

132
00:03:21,260 --> 00:03:22,202
Aren't you curious?

133
00:03:22,202 --> 00:03:23,462
(Magic powder)

134
00:03:24,263 --> 00:03:25,319
(Shared happiness)

135
00:03:25,599 --> 00:03:26,299
Ah!

136
00:03:26,300 --> 00:03:27,709
Ah.. sweet potato!

137
00:03:27,709 --> 00:03:28,359
Is it sweet potato?

138
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,076
Sweet potato, sweet potato, sweet potato

139
00:03:30,076 --> 00:03:31,419
Now that you mention it,

140
00:03:31,420 --> 00:03:32,799
they really do look like sweet potato colors

141
00:03:33,439 --> 00:03:34,619
Yes, sweet potato powder

142
00:03:34,899 --> 00:03:35,859
What is this again?

143
00:03:36,199 --> 00:03:36,759
Smell it

144
00:03:36,759 --> 00:03:37,819
It kind of smells like curry

145
00:03:38,019 --> 00:03:39,899
-A smell I've smelled before
-Oh, oh, oh

146
00:03:40,239 --> 00:03:40,799
Lamb skewers!

147
00:03:40,799 --> 00:03:42,159
The powder you sprinkle on lamb skewers

148
00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:43,319
Right, right, right

149
00:03:44,559 --> 00:03:45,719
It seems like parsley

150
00:03:46,359 --> 00:03:47,279
I think it's parsley

151
00:03:47,739 --> 00:03:48,619
Kind of like seaweed..

152
00:03:48,619 --> 00:03:49,999
Yeah, it's kind of like that

153
00:03:52,139 --> 00:03:53,259
I have no idea

154
00:03:54,285 --> 00:03:55,299
(Experimental spirit)

155
00:03:56,679 --> 00:03:57,685
But somehow..

156
00:03:57,685 --> 00:03:59,039
it's too different

157
00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:00,279
-Exactly
-Yes

158
00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:01,759
Oh, but I think it's fascinating

159
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:02,959
It’s pretty cool to see a place

160
00:04:02,959 --> 00:04:04,119
 that has powder like this on the side

161
00:04:04,519 --> 00:04:06,339
I think that's one of the advantages of Hong Kong

162
00:04:06,339 --> 00:04:07,099
The food is so..

163
00:04:07,359 --> 00:04:08,459
-diverse
-Yes, yes, yes

164
00:04:08,459 --> 00:04:09,599
And you can eat Western food here

165
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:10,959
If you want, you can also try dishes

166
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:11,959
 from different regions of China separately

167
00:04:11,959 --> 00:04:13,259
Because of these advantages,

168
00:04:13,479 --> 00:04:15,779
I think I've tried a lot of new things here

169
00:04:15,779 --> 00:04:16,939
I think so too

170
00:04:18,939 --> 00:04:19,819
Hmm...

171
00:04:20,136 --> 00:04:22,059
For most people...

172
00:04:22,059 --> 00:04:24,959
-it might actually feel a bit too generous in portion
-Yeah

173
00:04:24,959 --> 00:04:26,639
It doesn't feel small at all

174
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:28,760
(ASMR)

175
00:04:30,179 --> 00:04:32,179
-The store isn't that big actually
-Yes

176
00:04:32,799 --> 00:04:34,479
The lighting is also quite dim

177
00:04:35,459 --> 00:04:37,039
Is this the Taiwanese vibe?

178
00:04:37,399 --> 00:04:38,539
I don't know about that

179
00:04:38,539 --> 00:04:39,899
I don't know if this is the Taiwanese vibe

180
00:04:40,776 --> 00:04:42,416
(Full house)

181
00:04:42,899 --> 00:04:43,779
This place isn't bad, right?

182
00:04:43,779 --> 00:04:44,679
Yes, it's delicious

183
00:04:44,679 --> 00:04:46,359
The portions are generous, so I'm full

184
00:04:46,359 --> 00:04:47,519
Oh, thank goodness

185
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:49,520
Usually at places like this, 

186
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,164
-the portions can feel a bit small, 
-Yes

187
00:04:51,164 --> 00:04:52,820
and honestly that’s my biggest concern

188
00:04:52,820 --> 00:04:53,719
Sometimes

189
00:04:53,719 --> 00:04:55,339
It's a relief to hear the portions are okay

190
00:04:55,759 --> 00:04:56,739
