Content is on point! I’ve tried so many Thai restaurants in Kowloon City and Thai Hot is literally my favourite for years

@HongKongHoods 2 года назад

Thanks for the kind words! and that's brilliant, and we couldn't agree more about Thai Hot- that lunch set is so reasonably priced, too!

Love your context of Hong Kong and when you were in Japan. When I was living in Japan, I watched your videos and help me what areas to visit. I visited my distance family in HK a few times a few years back. I would love to go back and visit again.

@HongKongHoods 2 года назад

Thank you for watching Alan, and glad the videos have provided you with inspiration as you've traveled around Asia. Hong Kong is an incredible city with so much to see and do- I'm sure you'll enjoy it when you can get here again. :)

The other day when I read wikipedia I came to know one funny fact of the big Kowloon City District. My district is the only district among 18 that is incorporated into HK in different stages (3) - Area south of Boundary Street (1860), area north of Boundary Street (1898) and the Kowloon Walled City (1984?)

@HongKongHoods 2 года назад

Oh wow, that’s an interesting bit of trivia Andrew, thanks for sharing!

@fischman26-China Год назад

I wish I could remember the names of the restaurants we visited while in Kowloon. Heck, I wish I could remember the names of any restaurants I ate in for my nine trips to China. Oh, I take that back. I remember eating Burger King while in the Hong Kong Airport waiting for my flight.

@HongKongHoods Год назад

@mrmrabcabc123 2 года назад

Hey man, thanks for introducing Thai Hot (泰仔美食). I checked the Google rating which is good. I will see if I could go there in next visit to Hong Kong. By the way, what brought you to Hong Kong?

@HongKongHoods 2 года назад

We recommend it, certainly for their great value, delicious lunch sets! Definitely check it out if you can. I came to Hong Kong with my wife after living in Japan for some years. A mixture of career paths, and also because I'd always wanted to live in HK since travelling here for the first time when I was a teenager.

@alancwwong 2 года назад

Hi ,I 've watched a couple of your videos. I noticed something. Did you notice yourself your head tilting 'down' slightly and then eyes looking 'up' to the camera(audience)? It's like audience can see your top head very often.

@HongKongHoods 2 года назад

This is usually because space is tight in some of these restaurants we cover, so I am forced to lean forward to fit myself and the food on camera. Thanks for watching!
