Sir,Ken Yhey said u are gorgeous man (leng Chai) in chinese,the green leaves(tong choi) chinese,In Philippines kangkong.keep safe Sir.Maybe that is lowu boder😊
😆I live near your first hotel! HK really got a lot hidden road & places to visit. Have you been to those outer island? u must take a ferry go to Lamma Island / Sai Kung / Cheung Chau, & u will find more hidden treasure, trust me!
Being an English and Cantonese bilingual myself, it cracks me up to watch the man in the MTR uniform struggled to communicate with Ken. I admire his hospitality and friendliness. A great mascot for HK! I think Ken caught on and deciphered everything quite well. BTW - the man in the blue tee toward the end of the clip called you a handsome man, not tall. Have fun for the rest of your stay.
I really appreciate the MTR officer who brought you to the vegetable farm. There are some minor mistakes in his English, but he is willing to speak. His English is quite fluent. I think he can inspire many youngsters to speak in English, esp. to foreigners.
What an awesome experience trying Dim Sum outside the city center. You are very lucky to bump into these two kind locals who helped and showed you how to enjoy the food and Chinese tea. Indeed an unforgettable Dim Sum experience in Hong Kong, Ken.
Hong Kong people are always like this. Can also meet so many friends when you dimsun as the places are busy so we share tables with random strangers. Fun!
🤩 you met a really helpful kind man at the dim sum place, luckily they still able to converse in simple English with you & taught you many new things or tricks to prepare the chinese tea🫖 & how to start with for dim sum😂 think it must be a real new & great experience for you yea😁 Hope you will ❤ Chinese dim sum in future & even intro to your family & friends in Germany🇩🇪 Nice humble man like you will always meet good ppl offering you helping hand😊
It's amazing you found this very local and traditional dim sum restaurant in HK.It's also near one of the most popular hiking trails in Hong Kong offering stunning views
A super good choice for your first DimSum meal in HK, and as a local HKer I am so glad those 2 gentlemen were helpful, otherwise you must be so lost in that restaurant as everything is self-serviced. Enjoy your trip in Asia and hopefully you will come back to HK again the next time.
Oh man you are so lucky, the two MTR (subway system) guys are very nice, helpful and willing to share you about the HK culture❤❤❤. and the waiter didn't say you are tall, correctly said you are handsome. Ken Abroad to Hong Kong🎉! Welcome to Hong Kong🎉!
Hi Ken, Welcome you! The 2 MTR officers are very friendly to share you dim sum and show you around the place. I recommend you to eat “cheung fun”, “siu mine” and fish ball, these are all famous street food in Hong Kong.
I have to say despite all the fancy dim sum restaurant you may find in central, you had such an awesome experience and very lucky to meet two cool local folks. :) and this meal literally "dim" touch your sum "heart" experience.
Welcome to Hong Kong 🇭🇰!! Hope you have(or had) an amazing experience in Hong Kong! And so glad to see those friendly and helpful hkgers❤️Proud of them!
The reason Victor was mixing the tea with the cups at first was to rinse the cup and bowl, that's a habit a lot of Cantonese people have before they drink the tea and eat, they clean the cup with tea. As weird as that may seem 🤣🤣 Lots of wonderful suggestions for places to visit already, I will add the outlying islands, such as Cheung Chau or Lamma Island. You may also want to try taking the tram in Hong Kong side, it takes you through several districts. And maybe you can try the curry fishballs and stinky tofu and milk tea as well. Enjoy!
Ken, I am glad to hear that you enjoyed your Hong Kong trip. I am very familiar with Hong Kong and Philippines and I can agree with you that the Chinese people are more reserved. Personally, I am that way too, until I get to know the person. BTW, the guy said you are handsome, he was not referring to your height. Even the lady you met at the MTR, she said you are handsome and she was not referring to your height.😊 I agree totally with their opinion♥👍 I hope you go back to Hong Kong as you mentioned, there is more to explore, the cosmopolitan side of HK, hiking, more dining etc. ♥👍
Dear Ken, We live in Belgium and started watching your vlog about Phu Quoc, and as HKG is also on our next trip, we wound up watching this one too which actually made us feeling hungry :) Such a pleasure to finally see honest straight forward reports (which is what really interests us) instead of the usual (too) smoothly edited Instavideos... What strikes us the most (and that is also how we brought up our two daughters 28 and 30), is that you are such a "loveable" and respectful person with a great soul. That is certainly why people are so nice with you. We consider that as being Karma : give good vibes = receive good vibes. Your parents really did a GREAT job. Looking forward to watching more of your great vlogs.
Hong Kong people are famous for their indifference, but you are lucky to meet two kind-hearted local people, you are a blessed person! You did a really great job, thanks a lot for sharing！Have a great travel！👍😄👏
@Ng Olivia I've been to Hong Kong more than thirty times and I haven't met any hospitable people, their service quality is zero, sorry I'm just telling the truth!
@@giannishen born and raise in HK, working hard, fast, straight forward but respectful and warm hearted are what we learned from family and school, know many original residents they are the most talented people on living and so generous to share you their experience whenever they find you keen to learn things, also so helpful unconditionally. Shame on you for not knowing even one from your 30 times here, but I think chemical reaction works on both ways. :)
Welcome to Hong Kong and glad to see you enjoying the dim sums in a rural restaurant. I always wanted to have a dim sum there but has not yet got around to it. You have managed with the chopsticks well. Also happy that you've had the help of the two gentlemen from MTR. They are happy helping with he food and explaining anything they knew about things interested you.
I’ve watched another video of these foodies eating here. Seems like a very local traditional dim sum place! I need to try next time when I go back to HK. I m glad you ran into some locals who speak English and showed you around. HK people are very friendly and helpful. You just have to ask and they will help you. Btw, that man in the end said you were handsome (not tall). Hehe. Enjoy the rest of your journey!
Hi Ken:) Hope you enjoy the trip in Hong Kong! As a local in Tsuen Wan, I think 端記 is a must-go for authentic experience for yum cha. As having meal here are mostly self-served, it may be a little bit confusing at first but it is fun overall, like picking the tea by oneself, enjoying the cool and fresh air in Tai Mo Shan and having talks with nice locals. And the dim sums they serve are more traditional than the ones down the hill too:) I also like how the nice MTR guy wash tea cups bowls and utensils. My granny asked me just to dip my finger into hot water and rub the rim of cups and bowl when I was a kid and I keep doing it. The guy saved me from burning fingers lol.
Tolles Video Ken. Thanks for sharing. Die Gebiete außerhalb der typischen Touristenzonen sind dann halt doch oft viel interessanter. Wie nett und offen die Einheimischen dir überall begegnen ist so herzerwärmend mit anzusehen. Da bekomme ich gleich Fernweh... und Hunger, weil das Essen so lecker aussah😅. Ich freue mich schon aufs nächste Video. Dir unterdessen viel Spass in Nepal.
HK dim sum is superb! also love their green mustard leafs( choy sum). Glad you met some friendly locals and had a good experience there😊 alrdy waiting for next upload hahaha!
Yup, funny part my first time having dim sum was at Lantau Island near ( The Big Buddha ) area.... and it wasn't cheap but the food was fresh and outstanding.....My favorite dim sum is usually "Ha Kau " ( Shrimp dumpling ) .Pretty great experience for you to try this out with locals...Good for you mate! As always, take good care out there, and enjoy the moment.. Cheers!!
Welcome to Hong Kong,thank you for coming 😊looking forward to see your videos about Hong Kong ❤ some people English not that good,but we will try to help you 😊 Two kind locals who are staff of MTR(Mass Transit Railway)
Just random search the travel information thru RU-vid and then bump into your channel. Welcome to Hong Kong! Thanks the two MTR guys❤, to show Ken about the HK culture! Already subscribe your channel and will recommend it to my family and friends.
This dim sum place is definitely a hidden gem, I heard it’s very crowded with locals over weekends. Btw, the veggie that Victor told you is called watercress(sai yeung choi)!
I love your videos. You have a smiling face. I have never been to this place. My French friend visited HK a few years ago. I took him to Kowloon City to try clay pot rice (煲仔飯), hot and cold deserts, egg tart, congee and Chinese fried dough, etc. You may also try hot pot and sea food.
I knew this couple years ago before i left Hongkong. The guy is American he was teaching at the Chinese University of Hk (ur favorite hangout in the outskirts of the city, very picturesque). The renumeration is great, he made much more in HK teaching than his counterparts back in the States. Tax rate is low, n he got housing assistance which is a big deal in HK. Later he married a local Chinese girl n life is happy ever after ❤😊 After watching a couple of ur videos u come across as an easy going person, down to earth, not quite like the average tourists who wanted brand name shopping n clubbing at Lan Kwai Fong . It's not easy to embrace another culture, i was genuinely impressed when u drink that snake soup. I have this American friend who literally collapsed at the table after being told it was snake meat in his soup, he thought it was chicken 😂 Have u considered securing a reaching career in Hk? Say teaching German?
Ken, actually no need to wear mask in Hong Kong anymore, people wearing was just avoid to have flu , no need to be embrasse if you don’t want to wear it😊
It's so interesting trying dim sum in this kind of very local restaurant and having lunch with some MTR staff members. They can explain some local culture to you in English. The sauce is called Worcestershire sauce (Lea & Perrins). We usually eat beef balls and spring rolls with it. So yummy!😋👍🏻
The story goes like this. When I was in HK I was in a wanton noodle restaurant. I asked the waiter whether they had Wifi available and the waiter was initially shocked. He called his colleague over and introduced him as Wai Fai. Wai Fai knew his colleague fked up.
I'm yearning for those shrimp dumplings! They are my favourite!😋 Ken has come a long way....I remember he never liked seafood, until he travelled to Malaysia!
Just found your RU-vid channel and already watched 4 of your HK videos, love them😃 btw, towards the end the local man said you’re handsome and not that you’re tall😂 too funny, I just had to let you know that in case nobody told you yet, lol
Hi Ken, I really enjoy your travel vlogs. First in Malaysia and now HK. Its so nice to see how you experience asian culture and happy to try everything. I noticed on the video of your first day in HK..remember you stood in line to take the MRT. You stood in line but it turned out to be a waiting line to go to the upper street level? The older ladies' first words were 'you are leng chai', which means you are handsome :-) exactly what the man was saying to you when you came back from outside in this vlog (19:00). Thought you would like to know (it was not you were were tall hehee). Cheers, enjoy HK
I can highly recommend going, but of course it's also about personal preferences. I have a few more Hong Kong videos coming, so you can get more impressions 🙏
@@KenAbroad Thanks my friend. Is it possible to explore off the beaten path easily and find local areas. It doesn't seem as expensive as I imagined either!
@@EllisWR Definitely pricier than southeast Asia, but cheaper than western countries. I find it quite easy to explore around as everything is well connected with public transport
06:29 It's Worcestershire sauce, and from the name you can guess where it came from. Soy sauce is common, but we have different sauces for different food: for example, we use black vinegar for Siu Lung Bao (soup dumplings), red vinegar for Wun Jai Chi (faux shark fin soup), and Worcestershire sauce for Ngau Yuk Kau (steamed beef meatballs). 08:43 Looks like Char Kwo (literally tea dumpling) to me, but a special version called Gai Sze Tang (a herb). The name is self-explanatory: it was a snack to be eaten alongside with Chinese tea. It's a traditional local snack that is seldom found outside rural districts. The one you had should be sweet, but there are also savory versions with pork, tiny dried shrimp or bean fillings.
I lived in Hong Kong with my Chinese husband me being English i found the Chinese people to be very friendly and respectful loved the food after moving back to England i so missed the culture my children are both brought up in both cultures and now my granddaughter is she loves going for dim sum just a shame they didn’t show sai kung and clear water bay there are some lovely beaches and little restaurants
What a treat to have the kind local people showing you how to eat and choose everything. Again all looks so delicious. The sauce looks like what our Adelaide dumpling restaurants serve similar to Lao Gan Ma chili oil.
