We really, within a month..
-How many times have we been here? -That's what I'm saying..
-About 3 times? -Almost once a week..
We've come almost once a week, really
(Hong Kong Lunch)
(Causeway Bay, Hong Kong) Hello, this is Hong Kong Lunch
This is a place that serves Shanghai food
A friend recommended it once
Since we first visited
it's become a place we visit almost once a week now
Here it is, everyone
It looks like a really small place, right?
It's really delicious
It's really delicious here
(Cozy interior)
Why is everyone so quiet here?
(Stifling silence)
The menu has quite a lot
(QR code ordering available)
Hong Kong has a lot of popular Shanghai dishes like
dandan noodles
and spicy chicken
-Right -Spicy chicken
So they even have a combo with those
I think we should order that
And here, you can order
really easily with a QR code
Oh? It's in English, really
That's amazing
It's well-equipped
Usually when a place uses QR ordering,
the site is only in Chinese
So at Shanghai restaurants in Hong Kong
they usually serve you tea
and
-those peanut snacks right away, -Right
but they actually charge you for them
So you need to tell them you don’t want it
right when they bring it out,
otherwise they’ll charge you for it
But they don't have that here
-They didn't have it, right -This place feels really homemade
A really small restaurant?
The restaurant’s small,
but you can tell they really know what they’re doing
Right, it's delicious
I noticed they even have
a special 15th-anniversary menu
A set menu
It seems the restaurant has been open for quite a while
It looks like this place has been around for over 15 years,
so you can pretty much trust the food to be good here
There's cold chicken with spicy sauce
The color is really nice
On top, there's something like fried
green onions
and peppers
It wasn't as spicy as I thought
You can choose the level of spiciness
We didn't choose it now
It's only a little spicy
This place is really delicious
-The chicken is really tender -Yeah, yeah
It doesn't even have a fishy smell
This looks simple
but the taste varies from restaurant to restaurant
Right
-We ordered quite a lot today -Yes
And there's soy milk that comes with the set
-And dandan noodles -Yes
This is actually really delicious, dandan noodles
That's right
It's clean and tasty
First, you need to mix it like this
This is dry dandan noodles
The place we like
has a lot of broth
Right
The seasoning here is delicious
How many times have we come here
-just this month? -Exactly
-About 3 times? -We came almost once a week, really
What is this? It's sweet potato noodles
Yes, glass noodles
Glass noodles, right
Glass noodles in spicy broth
There are peanuts inside
and swanchai
The slightly sour and spicy taste is charming
That's right
We really ate this every week
This chewy texture is exquisite, really
People who slightly dislike sourness
might not like it a bit
but those who are okay with sourness
will really like this taste
-Hong Kong people really like noodles -Yeah
So they’ll order a bowl of noodles
and then get a side dish to go with it
That’s a really common way to eat here
I think I eat noodles way more than rice
Honestly, truly,
I could go a whole year without eating a single spoonful of rice
-As long as you have noodles? -As long as I have noodles!
(Noodle dish maniac)
The portions are not large,
-or the servings are not big -Yeah
-but the taste is just clean and delicious -Yeah
-And it really tastes like homemade -Yeah, yeah
We did order a lot
Even the soft dumplings came out together like this
For Chinese people, dumplings are really the best, right?
Right
Just top their homemade dumplings
with chili oil and garlic
Oh, it's hot
Hot
It's so good because
every place makes their dumplings a little differently
-Their own way of making them -Yeah, yeah
-But here, it's clean and delicious -Yeah, yeah
Personally, I felt today,
the cucumber salad here is actually really good
I tried it for the first time today
and since some of the other dishes here are a bit oily,
this cucumber salad
really helps refresh your palate
(Homemade side dish)
In Korea, we don't eat cold chicken much,
so at first, it was a bit off-putting
But as you eat, it becomes really delicious
Cold chicken is really delicious too
It's not just hot chicken that's tasty,
this has its own charm
-Right. And it's not given by mistake -Yeah, yeah
This is especially great with noodles
I recommend this
We ate so well
we basically cleared everything...
in like 15 minutes
I think I can come to my senses now
In expensive areas like Kobe,
being able to eat cheaply is more of an advantage
Because this is a really expensive neighborhood
So I totally recommend it
Honestly, what I really want to share are little hidden spots like this
Not the big chains
or super-famous places,
but
small, delicious restaurants
people might not know about
So please
subscribe, like,
and turn on notifications
And to finish it off, they even brought out the dessert
I don't know how to explain this
Gummy
Uh, herb gummy
Right, it's like herb gummy
It seems to be written like that in English
Wow, but it's blue here
Yeah, the color is amazing
Why?
It's too sweet
Sweet?
It's so delicious
It's very sweet
It has kind of a herbal, medicinal vibe inside,
but it’s sweet and really good
Super tasty
(Conflicting reactions)
(About 43,948 KRW) The current price is $236
We ordered one set and one noodle
and even dumplings
That's right
We ordered quite a lot, and it came to $236
Honestly, this was supposed to be for two people,
but it was basically enough for three
It was quite a lot, the portion
And the food here is
kind of a mix of Shanghai
and Chongqing-style flavors
It really felt like comforting home-style cooking
That’s what stood out the most
So next time, we'll find a more delicious place
and continue our Hong Kong trip
-Joykin -Bye bye
