I so love all your videos! It's a rainy, nasty few days here in Delaware so just going back rewatching them. As I watch, can't help but think my god..when you two are old and grey you'll think back and high 5 each other saying " life well done "..😊👍

Hi Eric and Allison, just a few pointers: Vermicelli rolls = rice flour rolls. They're one and the same thing. In Hong Kong, Vermicelli are thin noodles made from rice flour. You get lots of different fillings, but my favourite would be dried baby shrimp, for that shrimp flavour and firm texture. Fried "carrot" cake can sometimes be translated as "turnip" cake, or radish cake on the menu. Technically, "radish" is more correct - they are made from Chinese radish, which are actually quite different to the radishes you might find in your supermarket. The "carrot" translation comes from the fact that in Chinese, a Chinese radish is transliterated as "white carrot". Stuffed peppers are usually stuffed with a fish paste. They're also one of my favourites, personally. Did you end up trying wonton noodles in soup? That's pretty much Hong Kong's national dish, if I may say so myself :) I remember Mark Wiens tried it in a video once when he was in Hong Kong. The broth is very rich and flavourful, unlike the macaroni in soup you had earlier.

@elaineder8914 5 жыл бұрын

All that dim sum looked so yummy. I didn’t recognize some of the dim sum because not all of them seemed traditional. My favorite is the turnip cake and the crystal shrimp dumplings. The rice rolls with the shrimp and the rice rolls with the beef are a must also. They’re usually served with either dark soy sauce or plum sauce. And you can always eat the buns with your hands

When in Vietnam I highly recommend these 2 things. 1. Go to My Son Cham. The ruins are incredible, though sad to see what we destroyed during the war. 2. Go to the abandoned water park Thuy Tien. You are allowed to go and walk around, though there is a small entrance fee (it's just some locals).

@salanicus 5 жыл бұрын

Oh yes, loving this foodie episode, yummy :) You two are naturals, I feel like I'm there eating with you. But maybe it helps that Hong Kong's one of our favorite stops. It always impresses me how you guys perfectly balance travel with food! Few others have this talent. And what better way to really feel a new city or country but through their food! Mark Wiens and Luke Martin do it wonderfully too. Best wishes, James and Kim Treasure Hunt Foodies

Dim sum is meant to the shared. Almost all food ordered in Chinese style is shared family style. The dim sum is placed in the center and then you eat out of a separate empty bowl or plate. You pick the items from the plates and put into your own bowl or plate.

Next time, let your tea seep longer to get more flavor. Add sauce (soy or chili) to your dim sum if it needs it. My favorite dim sum are Chinese broccoli, har gaw (shrimp dumplings) & fried tofu with eggplant.

One thing I realize is seems people grew up with western food do not have the taste bud for more subtle flavour and aquired certain numbness to some taste. Like you can hear them say tea is tea, they all taste the same. Rice do not have taste, etc.

Baked barbeque pork buns are my son's absolute favorite. My favorite are either soup dumplings or maybe green onion pancake on the savory side, and the lovely little egg custard tarts on the sweet side. I really love the egg custard tarts when the crust is either like puff pastry or when it's like shortbread and very crumbly and slightly sweet.
