Hi there 👋, we’re still around but stuff happened in real life and we have a baby daughter now so we are on a hiatus 😅. We do intend to get back to filming food vlogs (it’s Wei Loon’s calling) but aren’t quite sure when, fingers crossed it wouldn’t be later than next year 😉 Hope you’ll stick around and we’ll see you in our other vlogs!
This a really great video to watch right after Ramen Heads. It brings things a bit more down to earth. Sorry to hear the broth is less good than before. I was planning to go next year. Have you been to Fuunji? I’d be interested to hear what you think of it
Hi there 👋, glad you’ve enjoyed this video! Fuunji is a decent Tsukemen spot but in our opinion cannot hold a candle in terms of flavour to Tomita (this is still the best tsukemen we’ve tried so far). Do note Fuunji uses Tori Paitan Gyokai though so flavour profile is chicken with a seafood depth instead of pork and seafood. When we visited their broth was served warm instead of piping hot which was disappointing. The queue system during our visit was also a tad odd where customers queue right behind you while you’re eating, creating a weird tension for us 😂
Wealth inequality is such a problem in London. The reason Fortnum's can charge 70 GBP is that there are enough Londoners and even tourists who are willing to spend that to either say they've been there or to check that item off their bucket list. But it is NOT value for money, and while doing these sorts of things used to be a once in a while treat for many, now regular folk are priced out of the experience. That said, there are tons of places offering wonderful teas all over London, where you don't need to break the bank and I would suggest to anyone to try that route instead of giving Fortnum's their extortionate fee for the dubious pleasure.
We are visiting in Sept. and want to go to F&M. Do they have a dress code? Trying to find a nice tea place that wouldn’t require my hubby to wear a jacket or proper shoes.
Raita is grated cucumber in diluted yogurt with a some salt...what you have on your leaf is cucumber salad, I would say....nice video. Tq for the info. Already liked and subscribed ..
Hello there 👋, thanks for the clarification on the cucumber salad ☺️. We asked the staff as it looked too watery to be raita but he insisted it was raita so we thought perhaps it was overly diluted 😂? Glad you liked this vlog & we hope our other vlogs will be to your liking as well! See you around! 😊
For you visitors, it looks easy but let me tell you, it's really hard to get right. I've attempted to make it many times but each time I've fallen short.
Hi, thank you so much for the kind comments. We're glad you've enjoyed our vlogs! We are currently on a hiatus but we do plan to come back once our real life issues are handled, hope to see you then!
Careful...there is always the danger of being too too precious in your review of each food, ie: there was a slight aftertaste of the oil, but that is almost impossible to remove completely.
We are in London now for hoilday. Yesterday we went to Fortnum and Mason Afternoon High Tea. It was a horrific experience. The service is absolutely bad. The staff of London food market served their customers way better than these ill trained staff.
your food reviews are great but your sound effects and background music is too loud . I would subscribe but it's too noisy you have to stop putting music in the background keep real background noise get it real and simple
I know many Chinese who haven't been to London Chinatown. Ever. His statement that being Chinese, "obviously we have been here a few times...", makes no sense.
Hello there, Wei Loon here. I think there's a slight misunderstanding, when I mentioned that statement I meant that we have been to London china town a few times before we filmed this episode. Hope that clarifies!
Nice review video. Just 2 tips, that music segment playing all through the video was too much and those sound effects are not needed. Made the video look cheap and like kids videos. Otherwise, this video would have been great!
Hello there, thanks for dropping by our channel! Yes this video did not age too well hahaha, you can check out our recent videos, we did a revisit to Tokyo & the video quality has improved significantly 😉
Great chippy ,my family have used it for years, great family that run it too, it's one sadly one of the last surviving old family shops in west Norwood, the cafe next door is also original family owned, and Ross and Tina and Linda still have the fruit stall.❤
@@TheGourmetPlate sorry couple of doors up, electric cafe, I don't think the decors changed since I was 15, 51 now 😂 the bread and butter pudding is the best it's very stodgy, ideal for a hard day's graft.
absolutely enjoyed the entire series and always love your concluding thoughts. i didn't know malaysians were so friendly! we will have to visit one day =)
Glad you've enjoyed this series! Do visit Malaysia hehe~ Just so you know, we are currently on a rather long break from RU-vid due to real life commitments, hence we haven't uploaded in a long while but we do plan to return so stay tuned!
@@TheGourmetPlate aww thank you for sharing and totally understand, real life comes first. Luckily I still have plenty of your other videos to watch. Best wishes and can't wait for you to be back ❤️
found you guys through the London videos (went last month) and now i'm going through the Paris series (we're going in a few weeks) and so pleasantly surprised to see that you guys use points and do business class food reviews too! hope there will be more of these in the future =)
Hello there! Hope our London vlogs helped hehe! Have a great one in Paris! This reminds us of the croissants we're jealous~~~😝 We would love to eventually do business class food reviews again in the future but Wei Loon tends to shy away from them atm as it's quite a hassle to film due to the constant droning environment & cramped space 😂
@@TheGourmetPlate haha yes I could tell it was challenging but still very much enjoyed it! Thank you for replying despite being busy with life 🙏🏻 hope you guys are doing well!
Just went to try it 30 minutes ago, very disappointed, not as good as rumored, not even close to seapark lao ping banana leaf hokkien mee, and it's expensive!
Hi there 👋, as the video is a couple of years old there could have been changes in food quality. We’ve recently revisited them & did notice they have gotten really famous 😂, & perhaps due to the crowd the quality of the Hokkien Mee has dropped rather drastically, such is the unfortunate case of restaurants gaining fame. It could also be due to day to day inconsistencies too, just like Lao Ping where at times their Hokkien Mee could be burnt 😅 Do share with us your favourite Hokkien Mee spots, we haven’t had a good one in quite a while😋
Angelina is a classic, but very touristy and totally overpriced for what you get. Cedric Grolet is excellent, but a bit expensive and definitely not worth waiting more than 20 minutes if you don’t have a reservation.
I just hope that when I go there next month the likes of you won’t be sitting close to me. I will find it disturbing and the table manners weren’t fit for F&M.
WOW NEVERENDING SUKIYAKI!! I love it.. been drooling throughout the whole video, watching you enjoy the very beautiful meal!! I need to know the name of the restaurant!!
Nice one. Next time you enjoy croissants or pains au chocolat, or any laminated pastry, try not to bite into them directly. Instead, tear off small pieces to eat. This way, you’ll fully appreciate their texture and flavour.
Hi there, thanks for dropping by and we hope you've enjoyed this food vlog😉 We respect your view on Tai Hwa BCM, however a gentle reminder that personal taste is rather subjective, not to mention the inconsistencies Tai Hwa has been suffering in recent years which was pointed out in this vlog. When we visited during this episode we opined that there wasn't enough vinegar tang & it absolutely was no where near drinking vinegar 😂. Perhaps the cook accidentally poured two scoops of vinegar into your bowl? 😆
