1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,980
We really, within a month..

2
00:00:01,981 --> 00:00:03,259
-How many times have we been here?
-That's what I'm saying..

3
00:00:03,259 --> 00:00:04,440
-About 3 times?
-Almost once a week..

4
00:00:04,441 --> 00:00:05,837
We've come almost once a week, really

5
00:00:05,837 --> 00:00:07,120
(Hong Kong Lunch)

6
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,500
(Causeway Bay, Hong Kong)
Hello, this is Hong Kong Lunch

7
00:00:09,500 --> 00:00:11,440
This is a place that serves Shanghai food

8
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:12,501
A friend recommended it once

9
00:00:12,501 --> 00:00:14,061
Since we first visited

10
00:00:14,061 --> 00:00:16,080
it's become a place we visit almost once a week now

11
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:17,699
Here it is, everyone

12
00:00:17,699 --> 00:00:19,160
It looks like a really small place, right?

13
00:00:19,900 --> 00:00:20,600
It's really delicious

14
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:21,600
It's really delicious here

15
00:00:22,183 --> 00:00:23,703
(Cozy interior)

16
00:00:24,860 --> 00:00:26,137
Why is everyone so quiet here?

17
00:00:26,137 --> 00:00:27,337
(Stifling silence)

18
00:00:27,940 --> 00:00:29,719
The menu has quite a lot

19
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:30,575
(QR code ordering available)

20
00:00:30,575 --> 00:00:33,019
Hong Kong has a lot of popular Shanghai dishes like

21
00:00:33,019 --> 00:00:34,060
dandan noodles

22
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:35,300
and spicy chicken

23
00:00:35,921 --> 00:00:37,161
-Right
-Spicy chicken

24
00:00:37,260 --> 00:00:38,779
So they even have a combo with those

25
00:00:38,779 --> 00:00:40,040
I think we should order that

26
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,880
And here, you can order

27
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,034
 really easily with a QR code

28
00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:47,300
Oh? It's in English, really

29
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:48,220
That's amazing

30
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:49,560
It's well-equipped

31
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,259
Usually when a place uses QR ordering, 

32
00:00:51,259 --> 00:00:53,479
the site is only in Chinese

33
00:00:53,699 --> 00:00:56,519
So at Shanghai restaurants in Hong Kong

34
00:00:56,519 --> 00:00:57,820
they usually serve you tea 

35
00:00:57,820 --> 00:00:58,900
and 

36
00:00:59,273 --> 00:01:00,914
-those peanut snacks right away,
-Right

37
00:01:00,914 --> 00:01:02,720
but they actually charge you for them

38
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,739
So you need to tell them you don’t want it

39
00:01:04,739 --> 00:01:07,020
right when they bring it out, 

40
00:01:07,020 --> 00:01:08,360
otherwise they’ll charge you for it

41
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:09,300
But they don't have that here

42
00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:11,399
-They didn't have it, right
-This place feels really homemade

43
00:01:11,399 --> 00:01:12,480
A really small restaurant?

44
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:13,900
The restaurant’s small, 

45
00:01:13,900 --> 00:01:15,279
but you can tell they really know what they’re doing

46
00:01:15,279 --> 00:01:16,140
Right, it's delicious

47
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:17,700
I noticed they even have 

48
00:01:17,700 --> 00:01:20,039
a special 15th-anniversary menu

49
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:20,939
A set menu

50
00:01:20,939 --> 00:01:22,920
It seems the restaurant has been open for quite a while

51
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,759
It looks like this place has been around for over 15 years, 

52
00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:27,999
so you can pretty much trust the food to be good here

53
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,300
There's cold chicken with spicy sauce

54
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,079
The color is really nice

55
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,240
On top, there's something like fried

56
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:37,900
green onions

57
00:01:37,901 --> 00:01:39,300
and peppers

58
00:01:40,540 --> 00:01:42,140
It wasn't as spicy as I thought

59
00:01:42,140 --> 00:01:44,500
You can choose the level of spiciness

60
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:46,099
We didn't choose it now

61
00:01:46,899 --> 00:01:48,300
It's only a little spicy

62
00:01:48,500 --> 00:01:49,700
This place is really delicious

63
00:01:50,140 --> 00:01:52,119
-The chicken is really tender
-Yeah, yeah

64
00:01:52,819 --> 00:01:54,860
It doesn't even have a fishy smell

65
00:01:55,599 --> 00:01:56,859
This looks simple

66
00:01:56,859 --> 00:01:58,699
but the taste varies from restaurant to restaurant

67
00:01:58,699 --> 00:01:59,440
Right

68
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:01,739
-We ordered quite a lot today
-Yes

69
00:02:01,739 --> 00:02:03,900
And there's soy milk that comes with the set

70
00:02:03,900 --> 00:02:05,400
-And dandan noodles
-Yes

71
00:02:05,980 --> 00:02:07,779
This is actually really delicious, dandan noodles

72
00:02:07,779 --> 00:02:08,300
That's right

73
00:02:08,300 --> 00:02:09,660
It's clean and tasty

74
00:02:10,140 --> 00:02:11,820
First, you need to mix it like this

75
00:02:12,020 --> 00:02:14,079
This is dry dandan noodles

76
00:02:14,199 --> 00:02:15,600
The place we like

77
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,600
has a lot of broth

78
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:18,480
Right

79
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,240
The seasoning here is delicious

80
00:02:22,700 --> 00:02:24,680
How many times have we come here 

81
00:02:24,946 --> 00:02:25,959
-just this month?
-Exactly

82
00:02:25,959 --> 00:02:28,539
-About 3 times?
-We came almost once a week, really

83
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,160
What is this? It's sweet potato noodles

84
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,139
Yes, glass noodles

85
00:02:33,140 --> 00:02:33,819
Glass noodles, right

86
00:02:33,819 --> 00:02:35,560
Glass noodles in spicy broth

87
00:02:35,820 --> 00:02:37,099
There are peanuts inside

88
00:02:37,239 --> 00:02:38,920
and swanchai

89
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,219
The slightly sour and spicy taste is charming

90
00:02:41,219 --> 00:02:42,000
That's right

91
00:02:46,299 --> 00:02:47,600
We really ate this every week

92
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,600
This chewy texture is exquisite, really

93
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:51,999
People who slightly dislike sourness

94
00:02:51,999 --> 00:02:54,159
might not like it a bit

95
00:02:54,439 --> 00:02:55,959
but those who are okay with sourness

96
00:02:55,959 --> 00:02:56,940
will really like this taste

97
00:02:56,940 --> 00:02:59,799
-Hong Kong people really like noodles
-Yeah

98
00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:01,499
So they’ll order a bowl of noodles 

99
00:03:01,719 --> 00:03:03,399
and then get a side dish to go with it

100
00:03:03,399 --> 00:03:04,739
That’s a really common way to eat here

101
00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:06,640
I think I eat noodles way more than rice

102
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:08,039
Honestly, truly,

103
00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:09,899
I could go a whole year without eating a single spoonful of rice

104
00:03:09,899 --> 00:03:11,260
-As long as you have noodles?
-As long as I have noodles!

105
00:03:11,260 --> 00:03:12,600
(Noodle dish maniac)

106
00:03:12,779 --> 00:03:13,639
The portions are not large,

107
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,300
-or the servings are not big
-Yeah

108
00:03:15,379 --> 00:03:17,320
-but the taste is just clean and delicious
-Yeah

109
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,640
-And it really tastes like homemade
-Yeah, yeah

110
00:03:20,940 --> 00:03:22,220
We did order a lot

111
00:03:22,220 --> 00:03:24,780
Even the soft dumplings came out together like this

112
00:03:24,780 --> 00:03:26,900
For Chinese people, dumplings are really the best, right?

113
00:03:26,900 --> 00:03:27,399
Right

114
00:03:27,399 --> 00:03:29,680
Just top their homemade dumplings 

115
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,299
with chili oil and garlic

116
00:03:33,459 --> 00:03:34,319
Oh, it's hot

117
00:03:34,699 --> 00:03:35,400
Hot

118
00:03:35,860 --> 00:03:37,220
It's so good because 

119
00:03:38,140 --> 00:03:39,959
every place makes their dumplings a little differently

120
00:03:40,179 --> 00:03:41,960
-Their own way of making them
-Yeah, yeah

121
00:03:42,100 --> 00:03:43,940
-But here, it's clean and delicious
-Yeah, yeah

122
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,139
Personally, I felt today,

123
00:03:45,139 --> 00:03:47,219
the cucumber salad here is actually really good

124
00:03:47,419 --> 00:03:48,820
I tried it for the first time today

125
00:03:48,820 --> 00:03:51,440
and since some of the other dishes here are a bit oily, 

126
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,740
this cucumber salad 

127
00:03:52,740 --> 00:03:53,981
really helps refresh your palate

128
00:03:53,981 --> 00:03:55,234
(Homemade side dish)

129
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,800
In Korea, we don't eat cold chicken much,

130
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,879
so at first, it was a bit off-putting

131
00:03:59,879 --> 00:04:02,419
But as you eat, it becomes really delicious

132
00:04:02,719 --> 00:04:04,219
Cold chicken is really delicious too

133
00:04:04,459 --> 00:04:05,840
It's not just hot chicken that's tasty,

134
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:06,899
this has its own charm

135
00:04:06,899 --> 00:04:08,699
-Right. And it's not given by mistake
-Yeah, yeah

136
00:04:08,699 --> 00:04:11,200
This is especially great with noodles

137
00:04:11,420 --> 00:04:12,800
I recommend this

138
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,840
We ate so well

139
00:04:16,100 --> 00:04:17,600
we basically cleared everything... 

140
00:04:17,725 --> 00:04:19,645
in like 15 minutes

141
00:04:20,060 --> 00:04:22,400
I think I can come to my senses now

142
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:25,079
In expensive areas like Kobe,

143
00:04:25,539 --> 00:04:27,760
being able to eat cheaply is more of an advantage

144
00:04:28,100 --> 00:04:30,100
Because this is a really expensive neighborhood

145
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,519
So I totally recommend it

146
00:04:32,879 --> 00:04:36,099
Honestly, what I really want to share are little hidden spots like this

147
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,480
Not the big chains 

148
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,360
or super-famous places, 

149
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,439
but 

150
00:04:41,439 --> 00:04:43,659
small, delicious restaurants 

151
00:04:43,660 --> 00:04:45,180
people might not know about

152
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,240
So please

153
00:04:47,241 --> 00:04:48,821
subscribe, like, 

154
00:04:48,821 --> 00:04:50,700
and turn on notifications

155
00:04:50,700 --> 00:04:53,300
And to finish it off, they even brought out the dessert

156
00:04:53,620 --> 00:04:55,220
I don't know how to explain this

157
00:04:55,220 --> 00:04:55,899
Gummy

158
00:04:55,899 --> 00:04:57,100
Uh, herb gummy

159
00:04:57,100 --> 00:04:58,100
Right, it's like herb gummy

160
00:04:58,100 --> 00:04:59,219
It seems to be written like that in English

161
00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:01,100
Wow, but it's blue here

162
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:02,100
Yeah, the color is amazing

163
00:05:02,100 --> 00:05:02,600
Why?

164
00:05:03,660 --> 00:05:04,660
It's too sweet

165
00:05:04,660 --> 00:05:05,220
Sweet?

166
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:10,659
It's so delicious

167
00:05:11,299 --> 00:05:12,240
It's very sweet

168
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,839
It has kind of a herbal, medicinal vibe inside, 

169
00:05:14,979 --> 00:05:16,319
but it’s sweet and really good

170
00:05:16,459 --> 00:05:17,099
Super tasty

171
00:05:17,099 --> 00:05:17,706
(Conflicting reactions)

172
00:05:17,946 --> 00:05:20,280
(About 43,948 KRW)
The current price is $236

173
00:05:20,280 --> 00:05:22,080
We ordered one set and one noodle

174
00:05:22,081 --> 00:05:22,780
and even dumplings

175
00:05:22,780 --> 00:05:23,340
That's right

176
00:05:23,340 --> 00:05:25,160
We ordered quite a lot, and it came to $236

177
00:05:25,300 --> 00:05:27,739
Honestly, this was supposed to be for two people, 

178
00:05:27,879 --> 00:05:29,040
but it was basically enough for three

179
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,320
It was quite a lot, the portion

180
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,180
And the food here is 

181
00:05:32,180 --> 00:05:34,360
kind of a mix of Shanghai 

182
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:35,600
and Chongqing-style flavors

183
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,159
It really felt like comforting home-style cooking

184
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:39,380
That’s what stood out the most

185
00:05:39,380 --> 00:05:40,859
So next time, we'll find a more delicious place

186
00:05:40,859 --> 00:05:42,899
