Max and I managed to squeeze into one video the top 50 (that’s right, 50!) things that you MUST eat in Hong Kong. It’s one of the greatest cities in the world, and with the help of Virginia from ‘Humid with a Chance of Fishballs’ (who took us off the beaten path, links below), we bring you one of the most comprehensive food tours ever 🤤
⇥ Big thanks to Virginia (https://www.instagram.com/ilikefishballs) for making this Hong Kong video possible. Follow her HK adventures at https://www.youtube.com/@hongkongfoodtours or book yourself a tour: https://humidwithachanceoffishballs.com/

THANK YOU ❗️
[Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] when it comes to the Great cities of the world Hong Kong is easily up there in the top two or three and here’s the thing when you come to a place like this you should have one goal and only one goal eat everything you can so what is our job our job is to show you everything you should be eating when you come to Hong Kong L ho this is going to be amazing look there’s many ways we could have done this video we could have done the the the most expensive restaurants the Michelin star ones the the biggest but that’s not what this is about this is about coming to Hong Kong and having the food that we’re going to show you if you want to stand in line for two hours at some dim some place like a YouTuber tells you to by all means Sparky you should be able to do that but I’m telling you right now dim Su that you’ll have from not aous famous place in Hong Kong will very likely be better than any dim suom you have wherever you live unless you live here so you get it that’s the point come to Hong Kong have these things if you don’t have them where we show you to have them you’re still going to be way better [Music] off as much as I’d like to think I could figure out where to eat in Hong Kong all by myself I can’t so I looked up a lot of people I found an expert her name come on we’re not here all day this is Virginia from from humid with a Chance of fishballs by the way one of my favorite things Virginia does culinary tours Food Tours she does cultural tours all kinds of stuff and you are going to show us the things I want to show them to eat cuz you’re the expert excited and I also have MA classes Instagram and YouTube videos so you can find me there as well she’s going to hook us up and she’s from Vancouver my hometown it’s like we we Brother s wait uh father and daughter maybe that’s closer anyway shall we uh go eat everything yes Dad let’s go Christ don’t get killed all right it’s always time for coffee or tea but what I love about Hong Kong is they make something called yinyang yyang yin Yin yinong it’s half coffee and half tea together and there’s evaporated milk and this yeah yeah and it sounds like the craziest combination but the tea adds so so much you must try it at home the evaporated milk okay wait wait but going on with the with the drinks oh but if you must know it’s like seven Parts tea and three parts coffee it’s very tea forward yeah yeah okay another drink explain this one so this is more of a dessert but it’s called a home thing red bean icy on the bottom is red bean cuz that’s a very common dessert ingredient it’s sweetened and then they put evaporated milk on the top so I should stir this I will say that I’m not a fan of boba and so the little bowls in here might throw me for a loop but there’s no balls there’s no tap but it’s but it’s the red bean P yeah yeah they might but you will have a nice little bubble tea straw for you I know I’m going to get a a red bean I love red bean I do I’m not sure I love the pieces but but it’s a good thing it’s kind of creepy looking though the color is a little bit you know it’s like more fun to drink you know it’s a drink and you can eat it t yeah that’s weird that description doesn’t do anything for me you’re not helping Virginia let’s do this though because I put one of these French toasts on the list when we were first talking so this is classic Hong Kong style French toast right which is deep fried instead of pan fried right you can see the crisp which I think is genius probably the way it should always be done and like a giant the butter just running off it fluffy inside crispy on the outside look one of the things I love about this part of the world is the textural differences in the same bite of food crispy soft salty sweet the only way you should ever eat french toast is have a deep friy first and then with just a ton of butter but what I really want was this one and watch as I cut it open because inside is beef satate and oh holy crap was it delicious sweet and Savory all in one tremendous bite considering how much I love breakfast there could not have been a better way to start our Hong Kong list of things to eat but look we’ve got to keep going you can’t come to Hong Kong and not have what I think is one of the most iconic Foods here this is one ton noodles with shrimp dumplings it’s just absolutely Next Level you’re not going to get anything like this back in well wherever you’re from unless maybe you’re from Hong Kong this is an always order item for me always shop made noodles right behind me you just can’t you just have no idea unless you get here and do this and this there’s the taste that comes from noodles that I can’t explain that is so just like reminiscent of the first time I came to Hong Kong the second time third time I I think this is four bought but oh my God best ever we used to go to this Chinese restaurant in Vancouver it’s called Bill key you’d walk in you’d see people eating bowls of this it’s called kanji it’s essentially like rice soup rice porridge and I thought it was horrifying the only thing about it that I like was the fact that they serve these Chinese donuts with it I’ve since learned not just to like it but to love it and this one comes with beautiful slices of beef oh so good so rich like steamy this is this is the best cold weather food you can get how do you say cheers yum boy Rich delicious Fant fantastic and then you take the yau thank you you dip it I don’t think it looks that good but the taste is you come here you must have this fried donut and this come on [Music] look it’s uh I don’t know we’re a couple hours in we’re full but we’re not stopping because we promised a lot of food for you and even though it’s 78° but feels like 178 we’re sticking in baby we’re sticking in okay so I’m not sure if this is officially on our list but there’s a thing called she goes it is but there’s a thing called the stinky tofu come here we’re sharing this oh right stinky tofu I put it on my list I don’t really even know why because you hear Look apparently uh tastes better than it smells the name it’s going to be great it’s going to stink but but Virginia goes okay we’re here at the spot for stinky tofu and some kind of intestines what did you say fried intestines fried intestine I’m like no way bro that I put fried intestines on the list no I don’t want fried int guys say say oh what do we got an extra skewer okay she’ll we sauce it up should we I think no I think I got to have it raw first or straight first hold on let me screw this way nice and stinky wait this is my breakfast it’s pretty gross it smells pretty actually it’s not too it’s not as bad as I thought but it’s going to be hot right Che how do you say gum gum yum boy yum boy or like yum boy means to drink but like boy sounds like you’re saying young boy and that’s bad I don’t know take that out M there’s a sourness to it I love tofu I love deep fried tofu this I could get behind I don’t know if I’d have this every day so not officially part of the list but still when in Hong Kong do as the Hong kongers would do have sto have stinky tofu just don’t smell it just eat it on the list it was on your lips it was okay fine but intestines weren’t don’t try do you want to Sauce it up and try it again yeah what are my option okay sweet hoiston sauce Y and then um a chili do you take can you take together yes yeah okay there you go now we’re just eating sauce and with a side and hiding the grossness uhoh you know what put that on the intestines I could probably eat it that’s fantastic also on the iconic list of things to eat pineapple bun with butter you’ll see why it’s a pineapple bun and a coconut tart pineapple bun because the top of it the craggy top looks like a pineapple and inside nothing but a big slice of butter salted salted butter nice okay and bread butter sweet sugary Savory salty M so good I can’t have too many bites it’ be 1,000 lbs oh and the air conditioning units are dripping on my head that’s Hong Kong it’s not raining it’s jeez oh coconut yeah hot coconut say it again yeah hot that’s easy for you to say and this is just it’s just a little tart yeah you want some I’m getting so it’s a little warm that’s good you can see how moist it is you can see it can I possibly come to Hong Kong and not have an egg tart check it out and it’s warm it’s almost too hot to hold yes this one’s puff past sometimes we have cooking crust yeah so look inside if you can if I can break it ow I can’t ow ow so beautiful so rich so delicate and the puff pastry ones honestly my fave look this makes my point come to Hong Kong you don’t have to chase down the most iconic egg tart in the world almost a random Bakery on the street makes outstanding ones but the other thing they make watch this so this is a chicken pie different from ours at home I just looked at Virginia and go what do you call this and she goes chicken pie okay I got that part what do you say say it g pie G pie yeah and inside chicken but there’s a sour sweetness to it it’s almost like it’s been made with buttermilk um what is it well I think back in the day you guys used like is it called a r to make it but we don’t have those things so they actually use like corn starch and other ingredients that were more available to us to make it so there’s different variations that we’ve done to make it our style Chen pie one of my favorite things in the world now one of my favorite things in Hong Kong it’s on the list solidly on the list guess we just got in trouble for cutting the line I always get yell and she’s Canadian she’s supposed to be more polite than anybody oh no Hong Kong changes you come to Hong Kong you elbow your way to the front [Music] okay check this out I got a couple things here one is squid boiled and then dumped with some curry sauce on top of it it’s crunchy as I think I’m used to deep fried squid or something I don’t like that okay it’s actually like rehydrated squid so this is the dry squid that gets rehydrated you can call it whatever you want I’m just telling you it’s not my favorite thing and these are fish sumai sumai dumpling you have pork ones that dim some these are fish on in curry sauce the fish tumai I like but the squid this reconstituted squid no NG take it off the list the list just went down by one I’m sorry but wait don’t stop there ah ah I can’t even believe it’s like deep fried oh you lost the tofu oh the tofu I’m sorry I didn’t mean that okay a green pepper with fish paste ow this guy that’s really good really good ow ow ow ow ow oh spicy in Hong Kong there’s something called a Chong Chang it’s kind of like a a diner before we came on Instagram I said we’re coming to Hong Kong where should we go and somebody don’t go to John Chang it’s been done before everybody’s done and to that person I say read between the lines buddy because it’s one of my favorite places because look what you can get Virginia do the model hands here you go for for about six bucks these are instant noodles with a tomato based broth and beef s but what it comes with is a big beautiful piece of sort of Texas toast your choice of side Meat and I chose spam and a fried egg and over here look at this one classic macaroni in a pork bone broth this one comes with a pork chop a hot dog because this pork chop is not enough and the toast and the Egg and for an extra like 50 cents you get a drink of your choice and I have lemon ice tea you can’t beat this it’s so fun you have to come to places like this don’t listen to that guy listen to me am I right right listen to him a real Hong konger from Vancouver says come here you should come here pork chop with a crispy fatty Edge my favorite oh the gravy I mean it’s like the simplest of foods done really well think Denny’s and before you dog me for going Denny Sam who goes there number one a lot of people go there three words for you moons over Miami one of the greatest inventions ever okay go away now I want to finish eating that’s the dumb waiter the dumb waiter I’m not being mean I’m not saying a stupid waiter a dumb waiter is a food elevator that goes up and down cook in the basement send it up to this floor dumb waiter my slurping skills aren’t that good that is [Music] though this is gansai called an egg waffle because they look like eggs think of it as as like pancake batter pancake batter pressed into this light little shape and I’ve got plain because I only like these as plain but you can get the double cheap Che and salted egg yolk and coffee and matcha and chocolate and all that kind of business would you like some yes please did you know that back in the day people were so poor that they could only buy one or two at a time one or two circles OTS yeah excellent excellent wow that’s a genius line here look inside they’re good and it’s not sweet I guess you could sweeten it up if you added a bunch of junk but I don’t like a bunch of junk I got you the spicy one oh good okay so you can’t come here and not have curried fishballs they’re amazing it’s ground fish it’s pressed into the round shape it’s cooked in a curry sauce it’s really really lovely they throw these little skewers in them to use instead of Chopsticks the very first time I came to Hong Kong and shot here I had these I turned to the camera and I said H funny I didn’t even know the light is terrible turn this way there we go we’ve got a truck and people in the background so the first time I came here I ordered some of these I turned to the camera and I go oh I didn’t even know fish had balls it was for my Discovery series then and the discovery people made me cut it out because you can’t say fish balls this girl’s whole world is humid with a Chance of fishballs hang on hang aren’t you oh wa is Shameless plug coming up I see this Get Ready Get Ready Get Ready fish balls fish bows and they’re chewy they’re bouncy they’re Curry they’re spicy so good so [Music] good okay super treat right number one I didn’t know about this Virginia told me it’s called wife cake wintermelon I like this but the real treat for me almond cookie I used to have this in Chinatown in Vancouver when I was a kid and that’s a effing long time ago there’s Sandy they’re almondy they’re so good Sandy oh yeah they’re dry they’re really distinctive shape I’m 15 years old again sitting at the table with my parents and grandparents and uncles oh my [Music] God attention tofu fans I’m at the kungo bean Cur Factory for hand fried tofu I put hoist in and spicy sauce on it and if you are a tofu fan this is a he’s excited because he knows I’m going to love it this is the place you need to come to and a delicious crispy bite I know not everybody digs tofu oh holy crap yes learn to love it and the deep fried version so good so good crispy outside soft inside spicy with the sauce Savory with the Hoist in sweet with the Hoist in the whole thing is just a dream we stopped for water because as maybe I’ve said it’s 2,000 de here and in the 7-Eleven look what we found KFC cowb Zinger Burger chips okay I can do this and Kelby their um out of they’re about five out of 10 oh crap don’t have to officially be on the list but it makes the point try different things when you’re in a place like this continuing on with our Chon Chan Tang tour this it’s beef and eggs think of it as scrambled eggs with beef in it we’re not sure what type of beef like into an omelette in toast you can get it in toasted bread or you can get it in soft bread but however you get it just do it it’s the simple thing in life in Hong Kong that you want take all the Michelin star restaurants and no just put them in your other pocket this is real food real people food by the way one of the other options here is that pig truter on noodles I’m sticking with the sandwich Sesame paste poison [Music] seeds great side thank you nice smile I can see and then we eat it in the alley oh yeah oh this is badass this is bad ass this is the r of Passage okay yeah but don’t go too far we don’t want to see anything okay cool what are we going to see weird like creepy crawlies there’s a there’s a trap there for a reason there’s a what a trap a rat rat trap right there behind you just a trap not an actual you’ll scare Max yeah yeah so then you stand in the alley right beside the restaurant you mix you get the Hoist in you get the Sesame paste and you say slurp it up SLP no what do you say what do we say in Chinese oh s fun oh what she said there’s a million noodles available to you all over the world especially here but rolled rice noodles like this absolutely Sensational this must have Dish I mean I might keep saying that but I I mean it every time so uh we’re in a spot for cart noodles the cool thing is there’s a menu like this you take a dry erase marker you mark off what you want and then they bring it and here’s our version and this is what this is a pork broth there’s beef brisket sauce and there’s a curry sauce and then we pick our own toppings so that’s the beef brisket sausage with cheese chive dumplings and also chicken wings chicken wings yeah again why are they cart noodles because it used to be sold on the street in a cart and it’s just a bunch of toppings a bunch of noodles and you pick your own stuff and then you just eat it on the street cheap and easy okay and amazing smelling too right has have some oh and the noodles are oil noodles I’ve never heard them called oil noodles why is that uh in Chinese it’s called yaomin so maybe they use oil like a bunch of oil to make it oh I got it okay oh that’s a nice slurp Virginia oh my God this SP you wouldn’t have to lean over the bowl you know what keep your head up I’m trying not to spill on my pants I’m wear I’m wearing a pair of pants that I really like and I don’t want to spill on them but holy crap okay check this out a little sausage with cheese you don’t see it but it’s a really good Smoky little sausage right wow cart noodle places all over mhm chive dumpling and you know a machine did not do that yeah it’s a really nice plate right y beautiful now we come to an important part of Hong Kong’s food history the Die Pie dong in the ‘ 50s the government granted licenses to families of deceased civil servants to operate Streetside food stalls so they could make a living these once numbered in the hundreds and now less than a couple dozen exist but at this one o man saying we not only had some incredible dishes we had Max’s favorite dish from the entire trip the typhoon shelter crab there’s an interesting practice that happens in some restaurants where you’ll find a big plastic Bowl beside pitchers filled with hot water or tea and you use this as sort of a mini sink for rinsing what are seemingly already clean bowls Chopsticks and glasses and while it isn’t necessarily done for sanitary reasons anymore it’s still considered good form so when in Rome or in this case Hong Kong Just go with it I don’t even know to do here and look what’s over our shoulder God there is no experience like being here for it and there is no smell like what’s coming off this typhoon crab typhoon shelter crab typhoon shelter crab yeah and I don’t know how long it took in the walk but not very long and just look how amazing and now everything’s here got the amazing typhoon shelter crab with Crispy garlic all over the thing MAFO tofu an old school favorite of mine from way back and I think my favorite Chinese dish of old time beef chow fun amazing those thick rice noodles scallions beef and this is going to be the best thing ever the beef so tender oh this is crazy crab holy crab oh holy crab yeah wow I don’t even know how to get into this oh my God even with this much garlic it is still so sweet and tender and amazingly delicious the garlic is so good and if you’re scared of garlic you should not be scared of this version of it cook garlic is not anything to be frightened of oh my God Max i’ love you to stand there and shoot all day long but you must come you must come have this [Music] oh [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] anyone who knows our family knows we are all huge dim suum fans and would never consider missing it in Hong Kong and for those who might not know dimsum is essentially a traditional Cantonese meal you can think of it as a chinesee brunch made up of a variety of small bite-sized dishes things like dumplings and buns and rolls typically things you wouldn’t get at regular Chinese food times and today we find ourselves at The Luck You tea house and we cannot wait and the crazy thing is is that like if you’re hungry it’s world’s best food to have because it comes so fast you order Max couldn’t even get the camera out and ready before the food started showing up on the table I love him some it’s CL class you have to do it check out what we’re having cuz they’re all the best okay I think my favorite at dimsum is L my guy so this is a lus leaf and it’s wrapped around glutenous rice that’s stuffed with things look there’s mushroom oh my God there’s little bits of pork little bits of shrimp it’s unbelievable it is so fragrant it’s so delicious it’s so tender and the best a little bit in your bowl and then a little bite like this and if you’ve never had it it’s honestly a flavor that you wouldn’t know what it is the Lotus Leaf perfumes it the glutenous rice is sticky it’s fantastic it’s a staple right pork buns are important you got a couple choices here these guys are baked ooh look at the sweet amazing barbecue pork inside okay you got baked then you got these kids they’re steamed light puffy on the outside still the same inside tremendous all right one of my all-time faves and these guys slices of green pepper stuffed with fish with a fantastic black bean sauce on top you put black bean on anything and I’d be happy on these amazing suai these are pork and shrimp dumplings little wrapper unbelievable don’t ever come and not get those and spring roll yes we’ve had these before they’re super light they’re super crispy but they really benefit from a dip into this hot Chinese mustard and listen [Music] oh so crispy so crispy one of the best I’ve ever had this is unofficial it wasn’t on my original list but a couple people said oh you got to go to the doggies noodles so I’ve ordered don’t really know what it is I pointed at the one that said it was most popular so we’ll try the broth there’s big thick chewy noodles in here wow it feels like some kind of fish stock broth but it’s oily in the best way possible and then I said thick chewy noodles they look like it I don’t know yet let’s find out holy I don’t know what this is I have no it’s there signature oh there’s minced Dace fish which I’ve hello there’s minced Dace fish which I keep seeing I don’t know if I’m saying it right but damn this is good yes it’s a official it gets a number well sometimes you got to make an unexpected stop and I’ll be honest I’m a sucker for an egg sandwich especially one that looks like that on the bottom it’s cilantro and spam and I had to have it it’s not that I’m hungry for God’s sakes I’ve been eating for two days straight but look it’s beautiful it’s beautiful and know it smells good I can smell the toast inside just get ourselves a nice bite here suddenly I be the Dave poroi of egg and lunch and meat sandwiches you know the drill one bite it’s an 81 solid 81 back home we’re all fully acquainted with barbecue and exactly what it is in Hong Kong though it is quite a different thing but trust me it is no less delicious all right so we’ve come for the quadfecta of Chinese barbecue Meats soy sauce chicken chasu barbecue pork sweet honey kind of glaze it’s a suckling pig super crispy skin and this is a crispy roast pork and everything’s going to be fantastic my own personal style is to always start with the chasu because it’s a fade Sweet Sticky tender oh little fatty suckling pig look at this oh man let’s give this one a little ginger scallion sauce that’s insanely fatty crispy melts in your mouth oh my God this toy s chicken oh my God it’s so simple it’s so amazing if you think we’d come to Hong Kong and not find a dumpling shop you’d be very wrong and in the Poo neighborhood of shung Wan on a quiet street sits the tiny heybot Fong a dumpling Shop with a crazy selection we start with hot pork dumplings they’re beautiful I love the size of them check these guys out fried chive and pork beautiful crisp on both sides the pleat make it even extra crispy and then over here small Shanghai dumplings these are just little guys I could eat a million of them oh with seaweed oh dumplings are life I don’t know what makes them oh my gosh I don’t know what makes them Shanghai but they’re amazing now these guys the fried ones they benefit from just a little splash of vinegar anywhere you turn around in Hong Kong you’re going to find dumplings so have some oh the vinegar adds to it so beautifully there’s just this amazing fattiness inside and the hot pork okay it’s steamy but that’s not the hot they’re talking about they’re talking about what’s inside it’s going to ruin me oops it’s going to ruin me oh the heat oh the heat it’s gone oh sometimes it lingers this came on Fast and it dissipated it’s just drawing me back from more we’re here for a beef brisket noodle soup oh look hand handful of Michelin Awards oh here it iside handful of michelins tiny spot get some pictures we’re going to go sit uh over there and have a few bites it’s all happening right here in fact you could order it with TR which is cow stomach and I’ll eat a lot of things I won’t eat that so one of the ways to enjoy yinke noodle shops beef brisket noodles is on the longest covered escalator system in the world 800 MERS this goes in the middle of Hong Kong’s Central District but look at the gorgeous pieces of brisket in here oh my oh my God it’s fantastic Max you’re coming to the hang on let’s just jump to the next section we don’t want Max to Tumble there’s a reason this has been recognized by the Michelin organization the brisket is super tender super flavorful and look at these noodles this bowl was about six bucks come on you getting something like this at home for six bucks I don’t think so you’re getting a cup noodles for six bucks at home not Michelin beef brisket noodles Rich flavorful tremendous and we’re at the top okay well this is too fun maybe I’ll just continue to eat my yiny beef brisket noodles on the way down I don’t know how long they simmer this stuffff but oh this piece has got some fat on it this is glorious look at this who needs a stinking table when you have a long escalator and it’s covered which is great because it’s actually raining today am I about to be at B now on my list of things to eat way before we ever got to Hong Kong was food cooked in clay pods and not only have they done this for thousands of years but the process results in the most delicious combinations ever not to mention what happens to the rice on the bottom of the pot after you wait and all the smells of the whole place make you crazy it comes to the table and you go like this the first one is chicken and lap chong Chinese sausage my old girlfriend used never mind never mind I don’t I can’t even say it I

home sweetheart but Soy Sauce noodles for [Music] you well there you have it we came we ate we ate and we ate 50 things in 2 days aside from the dehydrated squid that Virginia tried to get me to eat everything was tremendous and speaking of Virginia we could not have done this without her she was just awesome but what have we learned we’ve learned that you should get off your comfy little couch and head out into this big sometimes bizarre but almost always delicious world and try new things and if Hong Kong is your starting point for that you will not be sorry unless you have that shitty squid [Music]
