Lucas Sin, chef of Nice Day Chinese and Junzi Kitchen, explains the fascinating and unique history behind diners in Hong Kong, known as Cha Chaan Tengs. As he explains, Lucas makes macaroni & ham soup, stocking milk tea, toast, and scrambled eggs. The British colonized Hong Kong for 100 years, and in that time, a mixture of Chinese and British culture emerged, embracing ingredients like ketchup instead of tomato sauce, and utilizing western utensils instead of chopsticks. Today, cha chaan tengs are at the forefront of culture, pushing diner food in new, unexpected, and exciting directions.

He's not lying about how fast the food arrives at Australia dairy company! I visited Hong Kong in 2017 and stayed in Jordan, down the street from the restaurant and went at 7am no lines and was in n out. The bread is also so good. I can say that as a Filipino born on Guam, I totally understand this integration of foreign foods into local cuisine. We cook with spam a lot on Guam as it was tied to our liberation by the US marines in WW2. We also have so much Chinese, Japanese and Korean flavors mixed into our local cuisine. Awesome video and you can macaroni soup at McDonalds in Hong Kong 😂

Hr did such great job keeping the story and information flowing and interesting and captivating and just perfect. He was so graceful and so much expression and emotion and never missed a beat of left an awkward moment. That's hard to do in regular conversation, much less a 12 minute video where you're talking to yourself!!! Seriously, great job I thoroughly and completely enjoyed this video.

Cream of Chicken soup was my fave as a kid, and still is. My Japanese mom would make it for me and use it in her tuna casserole, which was also one of my fave dishes she made. I don't know how she ran into those two Western dishes growing up in Japan but sometimes it's kismet and we're all better for it.

I made this at home out of curiosity and it's really tasty. More filling than it looks too. My wife thought I was crazy when I served her the coffee / tea but it works surprisingly well.

Condense milk is the killer. It came in tiny tins, of course. It has to be consumed in HK. Putting it on toast elsewhere never taste the same. This is one of life mystery said Tom Cruise. Even though he has never heard of condense milk.

As an American visiting HK I saw everyone eating this weird soup so I ordered it. It tasted super bland and wasn’t very good at all. So I tried it a second time thinking the first establishment was just bad at making it. Nope. Tasted exactly the same. Our palettes are quite different and as an American I’d highly advise other westerners to not order the macaroni soup. There’s just not as much flavor as we’re used to. I’m positive foreigners will say the same things about certain types of america cuisine as well. Just cultural differences.

@jc2893 2 года назад

HK breakfast is terrible to me. The presentation is sloppy and the flavors so imbalanced. Macaroni pasta is supposed to be paired with a thick sauce! Not watered down cream of chicken.

@gabriel.hongkong 2 года назад

I know how you feel. American breakfast diners are absolutely different. I'd order something like steak and eggs with a side of blueberry pancakes and American diners absolutely kill it in that regard.

@j.8478 Год назад

every country has different flavor palettes for sure! asian-american, but born in raised in the u.s. many countries favor textural foods such as "squeaky, chewy or gelatinous" where in west it's the "crispy and crunchy" foods that are appealing. i've often sent snacks to my friends in asian and in the uk who claim american snacks are way too sweet, overly salty or artificially cheesy. which is very much true. i love lucas' explanation of the history behind these meals and colonization, as every cuisine is influenced in a way bc of it. i.e. filipino and korean cuisine too
