HONG KONG FOOD | Famous Vomit Noodles 

Just discovered your vlog and I honestly think it's the best one on this platform in showcasing HK street food culture. Your narration and videography hit all the right notes without any pretension or gimmickry. I was raised in Kowloon in the early 70s before emigrating to Canada and I am taken by the feeling of nostalgia you capture in your vlogs. Congratulations.

It's such a shame all these places are disappearing from so many parts of the world. Thank you for sharing this little bit of Hong Kong for us!

Watched your video and 15 minutes later I am at the Star Cafe enjoying my own bowl of noodles. Thank you for another great recommendation, can't wait for the next one!

Growing up in Hong Kong, I think I missed a lot of good food! Now in Texas, I rediscovered Hong Kong through watching your interesting videos! Thank you very much!

What a heart attack until Sam dared to eat that VOMIT noodle in front of the camera ! And surprisingly Sam endorsed his approval that the noodle is an excellent meal. Without your guidance and recommendations, i guess it is very hard to find and locate that restaurant in that busy tourist area. We believe you Sam and we will try that noodle when we next visit Hong Kong ! Thanks !

Hi Sam! Another Sam here loves your videos! I am from Hong Kong and now living oversea at the moment. Your videos are nostalgic and informative. My partner loves your videos too. She said it makes her want to go to HK as soon as the pandemic is over. We are glad that we found your channel. You deserve a millions subscribers. Please make a tour of beef brisket noodle soup in the future. We look forward to your new uploads ^^

I used to go to this amazing building 20 years ago when it was full of cheap brothels. Not been for years. Never been to this little place though...will try! Looks like a timewarp and who wouldn't want to go back in time a few decades.

By giving the owners of these hidden places a voice to express their idea of food and sense history really catapulted your channel to a higher realm than just a tourist guide or being exotic for exotic sake. You always present them with context and with no condescension. Many of these other food/travel videos oftentimes reek of ethnocentrism. Your channel treat these people and places with dignity and respect which you in turn deserve the viewers' respect. You've done your homework and research but you also keep it lighthearted with a sense of humor on top of high production value. I'm so glad to have discovered your channel by accident. Your channel should have over a million subscribers! Keep going!

Great video as usual, always love the interviews with the owners 👌

I love seeing these tucked away places and hearing their history.

One of the best hk food channel

I will be visiting hk in November. Will definitely check out this place and your snake soup recommendation. Great videos keep up the good work👌

Thanks for this video. I grew up in this building but never knew this cafe existed. Will definitely walk down memory lane when i come to visit

Tomatoes & Eggs are one of my favorite nutritional gourmet when I was a child. Thumbs up for the Star Cafe and those two beverages. I only wish they could move to an upper floor in that champagne flat rather than in the basement.

Great content! Keep ‘em coming. Sending support from NYC.

Thanks for the video and recording these places before they unfortunately disappear or move location. We intend to experiment and see if we can create a home version of the dishes as we are unable to visit at the moment.

The thumbnail made me curious:) haven’t heard of vomit noodle here in HK. Great vid btw!

This is truly Hong Kong food culture. Thanks for your video.

Hi Sam, new to your channel & have enjoyed every video RU-vid algorithm brings to my feeds so far. I grew up in HK and now living in California, your HK contents bring nostalgia & cathartic feelings. Is that your wife doing the interview in Chinese? Seems like she knows her stuff! How come you never put her in front of the camera? Would love to see both of you interact in front of the camera!

That place needs to be in a Hollywood Movie.

I like your videos my friend , The key is to never give up hope . Keep moving forward and believe in yourself . I send love and support 😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hi 👋 great video!

Very interesting food and drinks. One comment from OpenRice said the tomato ‘low’ egg noodle is one I’d the four weirdest food in HK in the eyes of tourists. Perhaps you can continue the series and introduce the other three, to which I have no idea what they are.

Wowww This is Very Yummy dear brother

thanks Sam for all your lovely videos showcasing Hong Kong cuisine, you look like a more handsome version of George Clooney!

Hopefully this cafe is able to survive for long and that they can find a place in Tsim Sha Tsui. Thank you Sam for trying this food and giving your approval so that we can shed our inhibitions to eat the dish nicknamed - vomit noodles. It was interesting to hear the story from Mr.Lam and wishing him all success. Thank you once again for taking us through this amazing journey and love to Hong Kong

Great video content. full of information. and so entertaininng to viewers. Team Jessica

Interesting 👍

Good pick!

As far as I am concerned, tomatoes noodles with mixed eggs is one of the simple home dishes that are not too difficult to make. That being said, that place certainly brings up lots of memories of old Hong Kong. It is definitely a good place for those who are interested in Hong Kong history. I'm not sure if it is still there by the time I watched this video! Hopefully I'll get to visit there soon!

This is my all time favourite. Surprised you found it. I myself like the one with sunny side up egg

Sam, you are brave 😁💪

In today's celebrity-obsessed culture and worshipping "famous" chef, it's so nice to hear from mom-and-pop shop owners about their humble hopes.

One of my favourites😋

Probably not to my taste the Hong Kong equivalent to an English greasy spoon but it has its charm and hope it survives well into the future. Great video keep it up!

Will live through you. Don't have enough money to trade back! Subscribed!

It's impressive that you can find this place. This building hasn't been demolished yet in 2023?

Cool name, I love it. Almost like dirty rice.

That restaurant has been featured by Michelle Wai, a HK actress. Pretty good place

👍Yummy

I am going to Star Cafe in champagne court in December

Looks yummy and timely as the cold season is now upon HK, will definitely go here to try this also. Mind sharing what the first bowl was called in the english menu? BTW, after we watched the other video on TST, we also went to Roll and Mari! Thanks for the reco! As always, quality content from HK Hoodz 😁

First look I probably wouldn’t eat it but after knowing what it is I probably would, tomatoes and egg I already eat but with white rice sometimes with noodles. The name is what throws me off, I used to get carsick and throw up; that smell and taste in my mouth is something I’ll never forget. Knowing that smell then seeing that name it doesn’t go together

hey, i read from google review that they will be closed in june/july 2024 will they relocate or closed down for good? i never been to hongkong and planning to try it when i ever to go there 😢 the staffs seems so lovely

I understand the development going on but hoping give a chance to those establishments a come back if the government permit then my suggestions as architect n interior myself elevate the facade & style with of course touched of Chinese looks so that bringing back elegant. Dying store for me should be given a chance because what people would like to see in any country is the genuine culture of Hong Kong.

Vomit noodles? oh wow! yummy

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

This dish in Chinese is called tomato egg noodle, not vomit noodle. I feel it is disrespectful to describe it as such. Tomato egg is a very popular comfort dish in Chinese cuisine, be it in soup, with rice or noodle. In general, I like yr channel b/c you go to hidden gems and allow vendors to talk about their stall's history, but I do not care for yr sensational renaming of this dish as "vomit noodle". Just saying...

😋

This cafe is very old style restaurant

I'd rather eat at home, what a dump.. Sam, you're not grimacing for nothing.

i dun think its a famous foods in HK. never heard it b4

OMG Puke 🤢😅 Maybe someone Barfed into your bowl added Salt and Pepper !!

vomit noodle 🤣

Well
