Sam, to people who know what HK is really like and miss it, your content is just healing therapy. Can’t wait to come back…

Thanks Sam. I could almost feel my teeth dissolving watching this 😁. I always find your chats with the owners of the eateries very interesting. Donald's English is better than mine 🤣

I'm from Hong Kong, thank you very much for always sharing the introduction of Hong Kong food to everyone😉

I can't believe a foreigner, a non-Cantonese speaking guy becomes my best guide to HongKong! 靓仔，你系得噶！

Whenever I'm in HK, pineapple buns are my go-to breakfast food. You can get pineapple buns with various fillings, but the original/traditional "plain" one is my favourite.

I took a bakery class in Mongkok to learn the preparation of the iconic Hong Kong breads: pineapple buns, cocktail bun (Kai Mei pau), coconut bread roll, sausage bun (Cheung chai pau). I am getting pretty good, enough to satisfy my family’s requests. However can’t wait to return to Hong Kong to taste the real stuff! More power to Hong Kong!! 🫶 Thanks for sharing another great video, Sam.

Hey Sam! Really like to watch your cha chaan teng vids, soooo satisfying! Want you to go to 基隆茶餐廳 next. They need a shout out they're very well known for their charity in the past.

Hong Kong afternoon tea is so simple, yet so good. I also love to get honey glazed chicken thigh for my afternoon tea. So good.

Oh Sam, you are the first human being that I ever witnessed using a bare hand to tackle a.... a....a.....FRENCH TOAST!!! *scream*!

I like to watch your channel because you introduce HK food. I learn English through your channel.😄

As a Hongkonger living overseas, watching your videos is the best cure of homesickness. Hey man keep up the good work. Support and appreciated!

love your canto talk - Sir

I've just been binging your vids and this one just popped up! Loving the videos you're putting out, really making me miss HK!

Your videos just keep getting better! Really enjoy them.

Hi Sam, great show as usual. We love pineapple buns. Another place for us to try when we're in Hong Kong next. I'm not sure we will have enough breakfasts to do them all. Thanks again and keep up the good work, Marcus and Siobhan.

Congrats Sam for another great video

Usually, fork and knife is needed to eat hk French toast🤣. Anyway, thanks for introducing and loving hk food.

This video was sweet, if you know what I mean. I was surprised on my visit to Hong Kong that these Pineapple buns have no trace of pineapple. Yuen Yeung was more even more surprising to know and never imagined that tea and coffee could go together. Thank you Sam for letting us know this as well as Kam Wah cafe and the interview with the owner's son. He spoke flawless English and that was easy to understand for us along with understanding the passion for his cafe.

the most beautiful capture of frech toast i saw in KZfaq!

I love this place! best 菠蘿包 ! thx and keep up the good work.

Thanks Sam! Great video as always you are indeed a legend.You must be an expert on egg tarts by now! Keep up the good work😋

Another yummy video, Sam! Love the vibe there...I'll be sure to visit next time I'm back in HK! Keep those recommendations coming! 👍

Pineapple buns with slice of fresh butter is my top ten must eat items in Hong Kong. Thanks Sam !

Thanks Sam. Your videos are absolutely awesome and most importantly, the genuine feeling and facial expression I can see from how you appreciate the food, as well as the history behind it. You know much more than a local like me. I love the way you interview the owners in some of the video and this is great. Pls keep working and I believe food like bbq pork + chicken rice (sometimes ppl called it “siu mei”), and some more old school type of cha chaan ting will definitely be great. Those old school shops should have lots of stories behind. Big support to you!

You deserve more subs. Thanks for the videos!

I’m drooling! 🤣🤣🤣 I’m so tempted to come back for all the goodies you’ve been showcasing, but I’m not at all thrilled about quarantining which I did so last year for a whole of 21 days 😭😭😭 Unless quarantining is no longer required, I will definitely hit every one of the restaurants you’ve been to! Look forward to more of your videos! 😉😋

Thanks Sam. I'm watching this at midnight in the US and you are making me hungry 😁

Miss hong kong so much! Thanks Sam

Awesome video as always Sam! Making me want to go hit up the local cha chaan tengs here in Canada!

The owner's English is superb! So is this video!

Thanks for this little bit of joy and happiness at a time when so many are so negative about our city!

Love your way of presenting mate 👍 keep up the good work. Your history lessons are very interesting, it shows you have done your research! Your attempt to order in cantonese is respectful 🙏

Yo this channel deserves much more subscribers 😅😭! Nice job 👍 Cheers from San Diego California

Sam got the best hk food channel on YT hands down.

My last trip to HK a few years back and my friend told me I have to try their bolo buns and I did. Damn they were really good!

Pineapple bun is good with butter. Try it with jelly and ham slices. Thank you for sharing. Another great video

Hong Kong has best bakery foods!!! I miss eating all those goodies in Hong Kong!!! I was lived there back in 70 and early 80’s. 4/$1.00 pineapple bun or cocktail bun back in year of 70/80’s . 😋😋😋 yummy!!!很好食😋

I miss home. I miss the taste of Cantonese food. :/ Watching this at 3 am is no use.

The best explanation of Yin Yang ever!

another awesome video - i like seeing the indulgence of HK finest culinary delights - funny thing tho when i saw the maple syrup raining down i was wondering what work out routine you have between videos :) some serious calories !

I tried the so called best pineapple buns in Vancouver a week ago but it was not possible to beat the traditional version that made in HKG. I'd love to sample it myself. Please hit me up when the government of HKG lifts the quarantine rule. Cheer!

Thanks Sam! Great one, even though born and bred in HK, never been to Kam Wah! Will check it out soon.

Really love this Kam Wah Cafe. Last time here in Jan 2017. Hopefully can get there again in the future. Thanks for the Video !

Another great video, I miss the yinyeung and mongkok in general. Glad to see HK is up n running again🤓🤤

OMG Sam I love your videos ....Yummmm

Oh the sugar and the caffeine! ! I'd be bouncing off the wall after a meal like this! (great video as usual!)

Hello Sir thanks for the bell notification and you nailed it again beautiful uploading gorgeous filming captured I really appreciate and enjoy watching your content vloggs keep rocking my friend have a wonderful blessing weekend stay safe appreciation from Montreal Canada 🇨🇦👍❤️

Yo\u deserve more subscribers. Your presenting skills are great and the production quality is top notch.

Thanks Sam! This is indeed the most delicious pineapple bun in Hong Kong! You should try their western fried macaroni next time!

Hongkong street look very delicious food 🥝🥝🥝🥝 Enjoyed watching here'friend

Excellent video Sam, attracted and tempted by you, I am sure MANY people now have to enrol in the gym for exercise lessons 😅😓😊😊😊😁. All your recommendations are so true and on the ground 😃 EXCELLENT THANKS

Sam, Sat in Aust., hungry ! Surely looking foward for your next video !

Great recommendation. Last day in HK thought we came and tried the butter pineapple buns and French toast!

Pineapple bun without pinapple but delicious, I need to go there. Thanks Sam!

I like how you explain Yin Yeung.

Kam Wah Cafe is also my favorite place. The milk tea in there is also excellent. The pineapple bun and milk tea would be the best combo.

I actually love the Mexico bun more than the pineapple bun since it’s a little less sweet. Unfortunately, all the bakeries I visited here in the states does not make a pure Mexico bun that is unfilled or authentic tasting. I also love the egg puffs (don kow) deep fried egg puffs dipped in sugar and the bui Tzai go (rice cakes on a stick, plain or red beans). These two items have been gone from U. S. Asian bakeries for decades. Miss them so much. Thanks, Sam, for another great Chinese cafe food video.

Forgive me for saying that, it is golden syrup they used , not maple syrup. I find your video is good quality and well research and entertaining. Thank you!

good video mate

The interior of the café actually is soooo iconic! 😁

Thank you Sam, I love how you insist to order food in Cantonese every time, sound lovely and correctly, respect🫡

Yummy yummy!😋

Mmmm… pineapple buns! How I miss Hong Kong!

Next time you can try the Mexico bun in Kam Wah too. If you visit between 3:30 and later on,all of there buns come out fresh and hot within minutes will taste surprisingly good.

Yes please! 😋😊. I miss HK!

👍😊☕ I want to eat , looks delicious.

nice video well done. I never saw people picking up the sai dor see by hand. we usually cut them into smaller pieces, dressing off with maple syrup then eat with fork (so to skip the mess haaaa). your video today suddenly reminds me of a pork chop theme cha tsaan teng at pond lane of Sheung wan. they are also well known for their milk tea too I think its call four kee

Thank you for the video. Let me have my breakfast there tomor(Sunday). 金華's pineaple bun is one of the best in HK, if not the best. Milk tea also great.

French toast and egg tart... I love them and I miss them.

Super stuff, as usual. Lived in Mongkok for several months when we came to Hong Kong - absolutely agree with the owner of this cafe …it’s authentic HK. A suggestion for your next video (not sure if you have already covered them) Mido Cafe in Yau Ma Tei…from what I understand also a local institution…

yummy breads watching now from Lam tin HK

wow, i am impressed for Donald chan's english

That’s the best bakery chan tang I ever had pineapple bun. There is usually a very long line people buying their buns and their food inside is also very good

Bit of an aside, but Vice/Munchies just uploaded a video on the Tomato Macaroni dai pai tung you guys visited in an earlier video. Cool to see your channel spotlighting these local spots before the big players.

謝謝！

I am missing all of these food. And I can’t wait to come back to have them all in 2 months time

Another great video. Thanks, Sam. I grew up eating pineapple buns, but I prefer the cocktail bun which has a coconut custard filling. Traditionally, pineapple buns have no filling, but nowadays there are some bakeries, cafes and dimsum places that make pineapple buns with different fillings including custard, ube, pineapple, etc. On a different note, could you try Islam Food Restaurant in Kowloon City? They've been around since 1950. Their signature dish is the pan fried beef bun, a must try. Other recommendations: curry mutton over rice and lamb soup noodle. Cheers 👍🙏

Hi sam! Another good one out! Can i ask how long does it usually take for your “tasting scene”?😂. Also, have you ever been told we NEVER use our hands for the french toast?😂. We cut them into 9 pieces in squares. As you mentioned in it, it is soaked with syrup. That’s why we don’t do it with hands haha🤣🤣🤣🙈. Can’t wait for the next one already btw

Hi Sam. Great video as always. Any plans to visit and vlog in Sai Kung?

OMG.. makes me drooling.. im a HKer in Calgary now, despite i love Pineapple bun in HK, do try those sold in Calgary, i think they are as good as the made in HK one and on comparable price too. Enjoyed your videos, makes me miss some home food :)

usually when we eat the french toast, we cut them into small bites loll - usually a few cuts horizontally and vertically into square bites, i see yours here is already cut into half triangle when served, but still we would cut them into small bites to eat, that's why they always come with a knife and a fork, so your hands would not be a mess, and the maple serum would not drip off over the place :) very nice videos, keep it up!

7:13 yin-yong drink name is derived from the word yin and yang (term often used in feng shui teaching) , simply mean a mixture of 2 items In Malaysia, the local cafe (Kopitiam) called it "Cham" (mix of coffee & tea) The drink name has nothing to do with mandarin duck, as you said 😅

Mmmm bolo bao is my fave🥰🥰🥰

Another great video Sam! Question for you - what fascinates you the most about the HK culture :)?

A very nice video showcasing Hong Kong's iconic pineapple bun. And, while I've had many pineapple buns, I've never actually tried the baw law yaou. The bakeries where I am invariably sell their goods pre-wrapped in a translucent plastic sleeve. So, one merely grabs a bun off the shelf and pays at the counter. The buns will not be warm; and, of course, there won't be a cold slab of butter in the center. To get one it seems, one has to actually dine-in at a cha chaan teng. And, so, lacking cha chaan tengs, baw law yaous aren't a thing where I am unfortunately. Interesting how that works.

That French Toast is the sweetest of them all he had in Kam Wah Cafe mostly with those maple syrup. Sam pretty much did Pineapple Buns and Egg Tarts so there aren't much differences with other cafe he had been. The definition of Yin Yeung is actually called Yin Yang-Shape of two commas with a dot inside to form a circle balance of good and evil. HK used this name for its food like fried rice where half glazed with cream sauce while the other half glazed with tomato sauce and for this coffee milk tea beverage. By the way! My favorite bun is where two burger bun consisted of its Satay Beef inside and hope Sam would introduce in his next coming video. Mr. Chan want to expand his business. Maybe he can open another cafe in East Kowloon or HK Island.

No surprise, you picked the cream of the crop afternoon delights. I can eat the same items every day until my cholesterol burst into flames. Thanks for sharing, Sam

Sam, I have never seen anyone holding the French Toast by hand! LOL Would you consider trying Man Sing Cafe in Tai Hang (near Tin Hau MTR)? They are famous for the “steamed mince pork mountain”. The one and only in town.

Lovely seeing food from my country of birth. Just a side note. The french toast is served with table syrup not maple syrup. Once you've tasted real maple syrup, it is very easy to distinguish between the two. Maple syrup is too expensive an ingredient for chai chun tang which is similar to a greasy spoon diner in North America. And being Canadian, I grew up eating real maple syrup and I can spot it a mile away. Thanks anyways for showcasing the amazing traditional HK food which IMO is pretty cool and unique in how it integrated the influence of British flavours into the Cantonese flavours.

Please also try the mexico bun and chicken pie. BTW your Cantonese is good.

Our pineapple buns are a favorite in our restaurant. Love our Chinese sweets!!! 🥰

Ohhh I missed hongkong ❤❤❤

Thanks Sam for an informative video! Just letting you know local people use fork & knife for French toast so your hands don’t get sticky 😀

Really like to know where to get those Black & White cups and mugs to - reckon there as much a unique HK specialty as the pineapple bun

Great videos :) isn’t it more common to use golden syrup rather than maple syrup?

For pineapple bun, suggest try Sai Kung Cafe n bakery, definitely the best best one in Hong Kong 😋😋😋

I lived in Prince Edward in my early childhood years. I actually have some vague memory of this cafe. I miss a good pineapple bun and egg tart.

if you like stronger milk tea, can try "caring tea" in Central Market or kuwn tong. they make pretty good tea and yin yeung. only take-away though. go in the afternoon after 2 when the tea is ready. Thanks for the vid and hope you'll get more subs and views !

Using your hand to eat the French toast is so interesting. Local people would use knife & fork to slice them into pieces to eat.

Me too, the pineapple bun is a MUST whenever I return to HK 👅👅👅
