Sai kung ? Of course people are nice ! That's my grandparent's birthplaces ! And we can speak decent English as well.. and it is very cosy. A nice little village... and you're near the coast too... and not just an urban jungle.. or just high rises... It is very cosy.. but of course.. it is also in decline now. Cos.. just cos it is... Sai Kung was also more touristy before as well... And there are a lot of expats there too. From the UK.. and mostly from Europe as well... So maybe he finds it a nice gelling place. The McD there is also one of the most popular too. lol.... But it is a chicken and egg thing too. Cos more expats are there.. then the locals move out? So then when expat leaves. It is now empty.... So surprised at how empty it has become too. Which is surprising...

15:37 China is a country, while Hongkong is a district in China. To be precise, you are comparing the mainland and Hongkong. Chinese food varies from place to place. Beijing and Shanghai accounts for only a tiny part of it. In the mainland, there’s a province called Guangdong, sharing the similar food culture and dialect language with Hongkong.

@Anada-qw7fq

Yeah, I agree. Many people assume hongkong is on it's own in terms of its culture. But it's actually directly linked to the canton region (hence, the regional dialect is called cantonese) in the mainland in terms of their dialect and in all other cultural aspects. Whereas Shanghai belongs to Wuyue culture and is linked to cities like Suzhou, Hangzhou and Shaoxin etc. Beijing belongs to the northern cultural circle with places like Tianjin and Hebei province etc. China is almost the same size as Europe so there are really a lot of variances among regional cultures.

Bake house egg tart is good. Pineapple bun is named after how it looks , the topping is kinda like the pineapple skin. But is is not in any ways related to pineapple lol.

Welcome to Hong Kong! Great to see you have a nice trip in Hong Kong and enjoy the local foods!

The special thing about Hong Kong milk tea is that it’s so smooth and concentrated and dense. The smoothness comes from the stockings-net- like filter. Each shop in Hong Kong have there own mixture of tea. ( usually 3 different blend).the reason why it’s so concentrated is because back in the days. The builder were watching the British drink their tea. And the builders copied the lifestyle and make a version of their own. The concentrated mixture of tea gives them energy to work and it pass on generations after generations

FYI, the thing that makes hong kong style milk tea different to others is that they typically use two times the amount of tea leaves so its more bitter (and more caffeinated) , plus the tea leaves are filtered in "stockings" and alsooo we use condensed & evaporated milk instead of fresh milk so theres this distinct taste!! hope this helped :D

You are also underselling this as well.... Cos you didn't say or tell them that.. historically.. because of colonialism and trade... the teas were blended teas as well... In the UK, we still appreciate the different blend very much. For the HK one.. or the "HK blend".. it is between the ceylon tea leaves with the thinner tea leaves as well. The Ceylon tea is actually the most flavourful one. It has an aromatic smell to it... and it is not 100% fully black tea either. It is actually a very nice blend.... Australia is very big on coffee... so their blends are also different.. but if people actually promote this... By the way, in the UK, we can't always get good Ceylon tea... Just a FYI. And it only comes from Sri Lanka as well... In the UK, we don't drink "light green tea" or "light fruit teas"... but most people drink dark black tea. Fermented as well. We call it "Builder's Tea leaves"... Strong black tea with milk. I noticed that the hotter countries tend to drink more lighter and more green tea leaves.. which is indeed very unusual...

If you're still in HK you need to find a local HK cafe, like Red Tea Cafe and order the Pineapple bun with butter, after you stuff the block of butter in flatten the bread and then eat it. It taste very good.

Thank you for your coming, Josie! I love Home Kong.❤

This is your first video that I watched and it was great! So happy to know that you enjoyed the city where I live. Subscribed right away 😉

Just to add on a little cool fact on the milk tea in Hong Kong style, the way we brew it is by, first making the red tea core. The tea core is usually composed of a few types of tea from different origins, and brewed for at least 10 minutes with boiling water and filtered for a few times to really extract everything from the tea leaves. This usually make the tea core itself really strong, thick and really bitter. And then we will add the evaporated milk to the core, which is higher in fat content to balance with the thick and bitter tea and created this really silky smooth texture of milk tea.

I was going to comment on how the tea is made, but I don't need to bother as this comment describes it really well! I have tried many times but have not been able to replicate this unique flavour and texture by myself.

Cantonese and English are two languages most commonly used in Hong Kong. So yes it is much easier for foreign tourists since you can also use visa, master, ATMs, octopus, or some of those Chinese pay system. You can usually bargain with street vendor. The street vendor gave her $4 off. So it was only $25. If she buys two or more, the vendor may give more discount. Hong Kong-style milk tea is a tea drink made from Ceylon black tea and milk. Ceylon tea refers to tea produced in Sri Lanka's highlands. Those grapefruit looking fruits are pompelo. The air conditioners are not leaking. It is the water from condensation.

bless your heart, Josie. i feel the same about pet shops (dogs in boxes/cages, so sad) and the rising numbers of pet cafes (people coming in to play & take photos with animals) it has to stop. on another note, food in Thailand & Hong Kong just keep your appetite up. more good than bad.

Usually when you go to a Chinese restaurant in the day for dim sum and they serve you tea, you can ask for any type of Chinese tea you like and they will usually have them stocked (anything from >10 different types). I usually go for "hoeng pin"香片 (Jasmine green tea), but many also enjoy "pou lei"普洱 (pu er tea). I like my tea less fermented and pu er tea is probably the most fermented tea. Other teas include: 水仙, 鐵觀音, 壽眉, 水仙, 烏龍, 龍井, 菊花, etc. You can usually ask the staff what teas they have in stock if you want something rarer.

Bakehouse's egg tarts are very special with a Western (sourdough) twist. The shop was opened by a French baker who used to work in a 5 star hotel. When they first opened a few years ago, the lines would stretch a few storefronts at least even though they are a little more expensive than the old-style bakeries. Happy Bakery is also another institution. They used to be in a very old shop which closed during the pandemic but recently re-opened nearby.

The reason it's 'Hong Kong' tea is because it's a special blend of tea that developed over the colonial years when the sailors would come and give the local CCT's different teas. Over time, the blend became a unique flavour that you can't buy in any store and the milk they use is evaporated milk, not normal milk!

It is wonderful to see you found it in Hong Kong.

Nice to see you guys enjoying your trip in Hong Kong!

Thank you for loving the Hong Kong culture!! Welcome back next time🩷🩷

I didn't think HK would be so easy for foreign travelers! It seems like everyone speaks some amount of English and they take Visa and Mastercard. Your video convinced me to try and make a trip!!!

Hong Kong is one of the easiest places in the world for foreigners, it's one of the reasons there are so many expats! English is one of the official languages and everything almost always has an English translation (public transport, etc.)

Hong Kong was a British Colony until recently 1997 (I think)😅They are very similar to Singapore

As a local, I have to say that Hong Kong is too crowded and the streets are narrow, the attitudes of sales are usually not good, and the prices of goods and hotels are also very high. I think Singapore, Shanghai and Taiwan are better destinations for experiencing the combination of chinese and western culture.

Welcome to HK. Thanks for coming all the way over to take a look at the city to see if it is as dangerous as described by the Western media. Thanks for taking the time to understand our culture.

I saw you that day on the Mtr in HK but I don't know you at that time and suddenly this video pops up and I noticed that was you that day!! Hope to see more videos of HK, I'm glad that you are enjoying here and trying hard to immerse in the local cultures thanks👍🏼

A warm welcome to your visit to Hong Kong. Have a nice trip here 🎉😊
