Hong Kong locals wash every bowl..
They don't wash plates
Because they don't eat on the plate
Then by doing this way
You should wash them first
(Dining Culture)
(Hong Kong Lunch)
(Hang Hau, Hong Kong) Hello, this is Hong Kong Breakfast
The place we're headed to
is one of those spots
where Hong Kong locals
often go for dim sum
They don't always go to fancy dim sum places
For a simple breakfast, lunch,
or afternoon tea,
they usually come to spots like this
Here
It's already full
(Full house)
When you get to the entrance in Hong Kong,
you need to tell them how many people are in your party
It's two people
(One Point Lesson)
This is the third time this week
(Regular customer)
I came yesterday morning too
As soon as you walk in,
they’ll ask what kind of tea
you want
Just order Pu'er tea
According to my mom,
- that's a type of Chinese tea that Koreans especially know about - That's right
Pu'er
In Korean, it is called Pu'er tea
Because they drink it a lot
Pu'er tea
Not barley, but Pu'er tea
This is a washing bowl
Hong Kong locals
don’t wash every bowl
or plate
because they don’t eat directly off the plates
Then you need to
wash them like this first
(Dining Culture)
Today, we're having yum cha
like the locals in Hong Kong
(Also washing the outside part)
After rinsing everything,
you’re done
washing the dishes
Once you're done washing,
Hong Kong locals order from a QR code
or a paper menu
Yes, of course, since this is not a tourist spot,
everything is in Chinese
Actually there's a bit of English
But there's not much in the way of pictures
(Ordering)
We always order
what we usually get
(Delivered)
That Cantonese
means thank you
But this is the kind of “thank you” you say
when someone helps you
When provided a service
(Food Arrived)
When Hong Kong locals come for dim sum,
they don’t just order the kinds of dim sum
we’re familiar with
They usually make sure to order a rice dish as well
This is the
pork ribs we ordered
(Common rice menu at a dim sum place)
(Comfortable)
Since it’s steamed,
the rice is super fluffy,
the meat is incredibly tender,
and with the soy sauce,
it’s just the perfect combination
There seem to be about six types of rice
including this one
(Steaming hot)
(Second menu)
Har Gow
shrimp dumpling
This is one of the top two dim sum items in Hong Kong
You must order it
Lao Gan Ma sauce
You can get this for free
You just have to order it
It seems good to dip a little and eat it
(Highly recommend chili oil)
It's a bit tastier if you dip it a little
Chili oil
Lao Gan Ma sauce
The shrimp roe inside is huge
It’s ranked number one in Hong Kong
This is definitely a must-order
Siu Mai
It has pork,
shrimp,
and mushrooms
It's a dumpling with these inside
The outside is intentionally made yellow like this
It's made of flour
This is real meat inside
(Caution: Hot)
And originally, traditional places
serve three pieces when you order Har Gow,
- and four pieces when you order Siu Mai - Is that so?
But these days, in restaurants like this,
you can choose the number of pieces
Originally, the traditional meaning of dim sum was
to slowly talk with people
and chat together
while drinking tea and eating,
which was the original appearance
But in these dim sum places that have appeared these days,
it feels like the atmosphere has slightly changed
to just quickly eat dim sum and leave
It seems to have slightly changed into that atmosphere
Also, such restaurants are small,
and because there are many people,
there aren't conditions for talking for a long time
There's no space to do so
The symbolic part has
definitely changed
(Next menu)
The fourth dim sum we ordered is
a small Soboru bread on the outside
This is what Hong Kong-style Soboru bread looks like
Inside, there's char siu
Hong Kong style?
Ah, it's hot
Hong Kong-style barbecue
Pork ribs
Even though it's hot, we're doing this
I don’t think I’ve ever tried this before
We’re not usually fans of
the sweet-and-salty combo,
but this one’s a Hong Kong specialty
(Expecting)
Delicious
The Soboru crumbs on top are very tasty,
and the meat inside is
very, uh... the texture is nice
It's a slightly sweet bread
Isn't this really delicious?
It is delicious
Really..
Some are made fresh right away,
and some are crispy on the outside
(Dim sum that comes out one by one)
The meaning of dim sum is
not actually dumplings
Many people think they are dumplings,
but they are not dumplings
These small dishes are
variously enjoyed as dim sum
And dim sum..
As you just saw, the types include
rice,
steamed dumplings,
and these kinds of fried items
This is,
glutinous rice..
- It's somewhat like a donut - Right, right,
But it's not sweet
It's salty
When you open it,
there's spring onion, mushroom,
and pork inside
This feels really similar to
Korean glutinous rice donuts,
at least from the outside,
except for what’s inside
But if you think of it as having pork inside,
it's a bit easier to understand
(Crispy)
This crispiness is so nice
I think it was really freshly fried
It's not baked for a long time
All the dim sum is overall very delicious
And it's great that it's very warm
The downside is, it's too far from tourist spots
Because this is a completely mountainous area,
if you came here for tourism,
would you actually come all the way here to eat dim sum?
It is a bit far
There are plenty of tasty places elsewhere,
so much
But the clear thing is,
if you're curious how local people really eat dim sum,
for those people,
coming to this place is an important,
and valuable experience
Because this is really how Hong Kong people eat dim sum
(Waiting line)
(About 23,725 KRW) We ordered 5 dim sums, and it cost 133 dollars
It’s definitely a bit cheaper than
other dim sum places in the city
The taste was also very delicious,
and there were a lot of people
So next time, we'll look for a more delicious place
to continue our Hong Kong trip
