Hi everyone, welcome to Chinatown London!
In this video, we explore Chinatown by having delicious dim sum (oh how I've missed it) and visiting their version of an Asian supermarket, and drinking (expensive) bubble tea!
Although the town itself is nothing like what Hong Kong is really like, it was nonetheless very nice to be around familiar flavors and shops!
Hope you enjoyed the video and give it a thumbs up if you did!

Hi Megan, So happy that you and Elliott are safe in London, UK. Wow!!! Elliott is hilarious 🤣😅! Especially...S.t.r.a.w.b.e.r.r.y! And....his antics....and his Cantonese!!! So happy to see the availability of dim sum and goods at the supermarkets of which most are available here in Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦. Wishing both of you a happy and healthy new year! Stay safe as I look forward to your next vlog! 😅🥰😄😂

@judy-8961 2 года назад

I think it’s the norm in London. I went to a pricey dim sum place and was not offer tea as well. It’s like alot of european restaurant that doesnt offer water as well. And actually a beer might even be cheaper than a glass of water.

@cheewailiu 2 года назад

So weird that they don't ask you for tea at dim sum! Here even in the Netherlands they do that and I kinda think that's what makes dim sum, dim sum you know😂 can't have it without some hot tea!

@MeganJacques 2 года назад

I was surprised too! 🤣 I was never allowed anything other than tea growing up

@annawong5027 2 года назад

@@MeganJacques I've never been to Plum Valley, but they certainly assume and ask which tea you'd like with all the other restaurants such as Lido, Dumpling Inn and Wan Chai

@samtong4961 2 года назад

I think the servers will see/read the people going for dim sum. If Chinese and Asian looking, they will ask what kind of tea in most times. If others (white, black, brown....), chance they not drink teas (coffees but not tea). So, those servers offered juices, pops, or coffees!

Tip: Look at the lens rather than the LCD screen when filming. It would look so much better for you to be addressing the audience directly rather than looking off to the side. Other than that, enjoying all the interesting content.

@MeganJacques 2 года назад

@Tom-zg7fy 2 года назад

You look more English than Chinese hence why the waiters didn't offer you Chinese tea. Chinese restaurants in the UK do offer different types of Chinese tea indeed. Also those Chinese buffets are catered for the English.

@MeganJacques 2 года назад

That’s probably why! And yes for sure those ‘Chinese’ buffets are for the English, no real Chinese person would go there🤣

@jt6231 2 года назад

I recall of vacationing in HK in 2018 and boba was HK$40. HK is expensive to me comparing to the Bay Area. Average salaries here is higher than HK but I still feel price pressure when visiting HK.

@MeganJacques 2 года назад

Hong Kong is definitely an expensive city! Although I find that for certain things you are able to find cheap/affordable options depending on where you are ☺️

@samtong4961 2 года назад

Bay Area? SF Bay area? If so, exchange should be back to $5+/- USD..... Not expensive because last time I am in Cal. L.A. area costed almost $10 USD on it!

HK Chinese foods were below standard compared to other countries (went back in late 2019 to early 2020 - So, I knew). Canada, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand got a lot better and great tasting Chinese foods if you guys ever travel again. Btw, Elliott's Cantonese sounded in a cool and funny way!!!

@echan275 2 года назад

Agreed, London Chinatown has the worst Cantonese food,Amsterdam is better than London. Trust me, I grew up in Boston, lived in San Francisco for 30 years. I traveled to Asia, Europe and the Americas for business. Believe it or not, I found a great dim sum place in San Jose, Costa Rica called Wong’s Restaurant.

I’d say HK has more of a range, you can find cheap or expensive dim sum restaurants but in London they are all about the same price, quite expensive. Elliott works in HK, he’s been in HK for 3 years ☺️

@samtong4961 2 года назад

Depending how you looking things? If looking with HK views, yes it is more expensive! If looking at Western styles, no it is just a normal price range.
