My school was at Kowloon Tong (St George"s School) and seldom walked all the way to Sham Shui Po army camp married quarters. On route, I would sample anything from street hawkers to restaurants serving roast pork or duck with rice. Nothing beats Hong Kong, my all time fav place on planet earth. Oh host Janice Fung's a good looker, no doubt about it!!!
Thanks for posting this. I am a Hong Kong native. I am in the states now and want to move back, I so miss the food there. I plan on moving back once I retire. Please keep posting more videos of HK. Take care!
Best for last you went to Ai Wensheng/Oi Man Sang 愛文生. As you say the best dai pai dong in H.K. The beef/potato is first deep fried. Then drained then fried/sauced in the wok. Love the egg/beef sandwich. Try a bowl of macaroni/beef tomato soup. Thanks really enjoyed this vlog.
Great video Janice, brings back memories when I stayed with my Aunty who lived in Sham Shiu Po Loved the Rice rolls there & you should get the congee miss those won ton noodles too Sydney just cannot do win ton noodles like HK My breakfast go to everyday 😂
Hong Kong has some really great food.. I really love the the last restaurant those dishes looks delicious.. I always love your description of the food and the history on the restaurants ..Your vlogs are amazing always Janice ..x❤️🥰❤️
Oh my... I am heading to Hong Kong on Friday for a solo weekend trip and I thought I knew what I wanted to seek out and eat... then you show such awesomeness. After being blown away a few weeks ago with your Verace Pizzeria recommendation here in Sydney, I can't wait to try some of these specialties, especially the Wontons in soup. 😁
This made me miss HK so much! So many places to eat! Have you been to Tsim Chai Kee on Wellington St. next to the mid-levels escalator? It’s the absolute best.
Hi Janice. Always love watching your vlogs. When did you film? I was there in early April and would been bummed if I walk straight passed you 😂 Keep the vlogs coming. I ❤ Hk
Your videos make me miss travelling. I really have to start back later this year. I love wandering down streets I've never seen before. Keep enjoying your journeys, and sharing with us.
@@JaniceFung I had a Eurotrip planned for April 2020, with the highlight being a trip to Barcelona to see Messi play before he retired. And you know what happened 😕
Geez that looked so good. I could almost smell! Would love to try the rice rolls and the Wonton soup, the silky tofu, everything at Oi Man Sang 😋. It's a feast for the eyes.
Guessing your parents originally lived in Kowloon 😁 How do the wontons you had compare to Mak Un Kei with taste and price? Can you recommend any good places for fish skin dumplings?
I wanna visit the Dai Pain Dong place! I can taste the wok hei through the screen haha and that chicken wow. lol the bloopers at the end, I can relate 🤣
You’re making us hungry 😋 We miss HK street food! Look forward to your next vlog ☺️ btw it must have been nice to visit when it wasn’t crazily hot and humid!
Must try Hong Kong porridge. I have them almost everyday. So out of the world delicious. G-cheong, I have to say the Ipoh Style in the old town restaurant (No 2 Row Restaurant) wins. Best fresh soft silky flat noodles and the mince meat mushroom oyster sauce & curry sauce pork skin choices, toppings with lots of fried shallots, pink sauce, chilli sauce wins.
I LOVE hk congee too Wendy! Any go-to favourites? Pork and thousand year egg is always one of my faves. I don’t think I’ve heard of pink sauce before, what is that??
Must add that let's not call it Chinese Dai Pai Dong....it's literally only in Hong Kong that it is called Dai Pai Dong....which means big license stall in Cantonese.... A lot of Hong Kongers that I know dislike to be associated with "Chinese"......especially when it is related to their unique identity. Cheers. Doing a great job about introducing my second home Hong Kong to the world.
Assuming if i ever make it to H.K in my lifetime i would love to meet up and shout you or someone for dinner. Be interesting to see if any seafood from here in New Zealand is in H.K. i think maybe (Crayfish) lobster and Paua.
i always want to go to these dai pai dong but i'm mostly by myself whenever i go to hong kong and my hong kong family don't like dai pai dong fml😩😆 maybe i should hit up some dai pai dong tour next time if there's any
ohh I feel like Dai pai dong is usually best with more people so you can share dishes! but if you can get maybe one other person with you? then order 3 dishes and share it!
the shrimp roe noodles they also drizzle some pork lard on to it to make it more fragrant and glistening.... also dai pai dong licence will not be renewed when the current owner retires or dies.... it cannot be transferred or sold
ohh that makes so much sense re shrimp roe noodles! yeah I was reading up on the licenses; the rules for license transfers are so strict it's inevitable that the number of Dai pai dongs will slowly dwindle..
Love your video, you are charming ... but if I have not seen wrongly, I believe you are not holding your chopsticks correctly. If you don't mind, I suggest you perhaps should try to learn how to hold chopsticks. There is a correct way to hold and use chopsticks although nowadays many Asians cannot do so, however you as a food youtuber will look more pro if holding chopsticks the right way. There are many videos in RUclips teaching people how to do that, worth your time to watch them and start doing it correctly. How to use chopsticks is an Asian culture.
lol, 65 yo Chinese woman here born in HK but have lived in U.S. for the last 60 years, and I have never learned how to use chopsticks properly, much to the shame of my parents! Off to look up those videos...
@@mogus1941 the wonton masters are meant to put a lot of effort into their soup, saying it was like soy sauce is the equivalent of saying a ramen shop soup tastes like milky water, it's quite disrespectful. The first thing people do in eating at those places is to taste the soup first. Being of Hong Kong descent and presenting quintessential dishes of Hong Kong saying that out loud is quite poor form. It's not an Instagram internet famous fad food, showcasing traditional Hong Kong culture with that kind of effort leaves a lot to be desired... If it was a foreigner, I'll say it's a fair go. Since she's not and supposedly a "well eaten" foodie; very disappointed.
@@yannie1012 Definitely didn’t intend to disrespect - makes me a bit sad to think it came across that way. Am always looking to learn & improve these vids, so thank you for the background info, and appreciate the feedback
@@JaniceFung I understand you don't mean to be rude but I would want you to better represent our culture to foreigners and to connect with your roots better as diaspora. It just sounded like you didn't know your own culture or appreciated the food, especially as you took the career change to do content creation covering food we as viewers want you to do well in that decision. There's an oversupply of soulless content creators on the food bandwagon just telling people "it tastes good", I don't want to see you do that particularly in cuisine that you supposedly are familiar with. Perhaps if you were peddling lifestyle, personality or general things to see and do in HK the expectations would be lower..
@@JaniceFung we enjoy all your videos and you have never intentionally disrespect anyone or culture. Each person tastes things differently. An innocent comment oftentimes is refreshing. Keep doing what you are doing because you and your family bring much fun and information to your viewers.
thats pretty expensive for a dai pai dong isnt it? i mean thats the average price of a dish in a proper chinese restaurant in sydney. Dai pai dong is meant to be cheap and dirty isnt it.
I’ve lived here for 20yrs and I think it’s better than when I first arrived. It’s cleaner, there are so many things activities to do especially with kids. Because of that people are having more fun and it’s more relaxed and most importantly, the food is better than ever.

Oh, you lucky guy!! Happy memories.
Excellent video Janice. The Tai Pai Dong dishes looks super yummy...you are SO Lucky!!!

Thanks for watching! How long has it been since you last went to hk?

Great video Janice, brings back memories when I stayed with my Aunty who lived in Sham Shiu Po
Loved the Rice rolls there & you should get the congee miss those won ton noodles too
Sydney just cannot do win ton noodles like HK
My breakfast go to everyday 😂
I will get the congee next time I'm back!
Janice: Thank you for sharing the Dai Pai Dong and all the places in Sham Shui Po! I sure will try the places when I am there!😊
You are getting all the classics! So yummy!!
Love this video, can’t wait to go back. Thank you so much
I’m going in November. These videos are like gold. Can’t wait to try some of these places.
Hong Kong has some really great food.. I really love the the last restaurant those dishes looks delicious.. I always love your description of the food and the history on the restaurants ..Your vlogs are amazing always Janice ..x❤️🥰❤️
you're always so sweet! thank you so much Irena :)
Loved your vlog!!! The last place you went to makes me want to go to Sham Shui Po. All your dishes looks so yummy!!!
Thanks Sue! The only down side to the last spot was the wait time.. we were close to giving up but persevered haha
The wontons you get in these places are amazing because the skins are so thin and silky. The ones from the supermarket don't compare.
Oh my... I am heading to Hong Kong on Friday for a solo weekend trip and I thought I knew what I wanted to seek out and eat... then you show such awesomeness. After being blown away a few weeks ago with your Verace Pizzeria recommendation here in Sydney, I can't wait to try some of these specialties, especially the Wontons in soup. 😁
amazing! let me know how you go :) have an awesome trip!
@@JaniceFung Thank you 😁
Hey Janice nice vid!! Planning to do any food adventure in元朗？plenty of dai pai dong food there also!
This made me miss HK so much! So many places to eat! Have you been to Tsim Chai Kee on Wellington St. next to the mid-levels escalator? It’s the absolute best.
I LOVE that place too!
Hi Janice.
Always love watching your vlogs. When did you film?
I was there in early April and would been bummed if I walk straight passed you 😂
Keep the vlogs coming. I ❤ Hk
Your videos make me miss travelling. I really have to start back later this year. I love wandering down streets I've never seen before. Keep enjoying your journeys, and sharing with us.
which destination would be your first?
@@JaniceFung I had a Eurotrip planned for April 2020, with the highlight being a trip to Barcelona to see Messi play before he retired. And you know what happened 😕
thank you janice you bring back my memories back to 80 s when i used to visit hongkong from indonesia , keep posting for old man like me. regards joel
Geez that looked so good. I could almost smell! Would love to try the rice rolls and the Wonton soup, the silky tofu, everything at Oi Man Sang 😋. It's a feast for the eyes.
the wonton noodles are a highlight! definitely give those ago
Thank you so much for sharing, Janice! I will be going back to Hong Kong 🇭🇰 in June/July. Your sharing does really help my itinerary planning! ❤
oh im so glad it helped! enjoy your trip :)
This makes me really miss Hong Kong. I never got to eat at a Dai Pai Dong when i was last there in 2014 so I am hoping to do it in 2025.
How much tip or gratuity in HK? Is it added to price automatically? Great video.
Amazing video, the food looks amazing!
wow thank you for sharing enjoy your trip 😀😀😀
thank you for watching!
Guessing your parents originally lived in Kowloon 😁 How do the wontons you had compare to Mak Un Kei with taste and price?
Can you recommend any good places for fish skin dumplings?
from the appearance of the food, it is very good, of course it is delicious when you enjoy it
You are so confident! It's amazing. I'll be coming back to HK after a year away and can't wait to eat these food again
Janice is awesome!
@@heythave88😊😊😊😊😊98

thanks for sharing to bring back my childhood memory . Present living in Sydney.
Hello 👋 Janice somewhere in the Hong Kong 🇭🇰 hope 🙏 tasty 😋 and so good smell with the Hong Kong 🇭🇰 food 😍👍💖💖💖
I wanna visit the Dai Pain Dong place! I can taste the wok hei through the screen haha and that chicken wow. lol the bloopers at the end, I can relate 🤣
yooo will you visit HK when you go to the Philippines?
also... I dont know why - sometimes once I turn on a camera I just get tongue tied lol
@@JaniceFung oooohhh HK after Manila sounds like a good idea!
When you said yhowwww.I started to drool .At.7.04 in to your vlog
haha thanks for watching Kim!
You’re making us hungry 😋 We miss HK street food! Look forward to your next vlog ☺️ btw it must have been nice to visit when it wasn’t crazily hot and humid!
hahah it was sooo nice! i was melting last time I was there in summer 🥵
SO MANY GOOD EATS!!!
Thank you for this good and so informative video. 😊
Thanks for watching! Glad you found it helpful
It looks delicious.
Still thinking about those wontons

What a video Janice!!
Thanks Kev! 💛🙏
Hongkong really has changed a lot. I haven't been there since i was born.
Hi Janice, great video! Can I ask whether these local hawkers store accept payment by card or only cash?
Must add that let's not call it Chinese Dai Pai Dong....it's literally only in Hong Kong that it is called Dai Pai Dong....which means big license stall in Cantonese....
A lot of Hong Kongers that I know dislike to be associated with "Chinese"......especially when it is related to their unique identity. Cheers. Doing a great job about introducing my second home Hong Kong to the world.
Nice job.... keep up the good work 😊
Omg that ending. So nostalgic of the MTR announcements... 请勿靠近车门 please stand back from the doors.
I used to go to 坤記 several times every trip. I don't think I'll make it back there before they close down. So sad.
oh no :(
I am guessing that Janice may be going to another destination after Hong Kong, eg Japan or Taiwan etc
haha yes, there will be another destination coming soon!
YEAH HK AGAIN LOVE IT
haha thanks for watching!
@@JaniceFung If u come to Melbourne, we can catch up!!
Welcome back mate!
thank youuu!
Thanks for the upload
thanks for watching Vincent!
Love it, may I ask which camera you used to record this amazing video?
I used the Sony a7c ! Thanks for watching :)
I love your video..
Love your accent too..
ABC ??
Or British??
Not sure but Love it!!
Continue Success
From NYC Manhattan ❤️💋
I really love eating this egg tarts at 4:18 🤤🤩🤩
☺️☺️☺️
Assuming if i ever make it to H.K in my lifetime i would love to meet up and shout you or someone for dinner. Be interesting to see if any seafood from here in New Zealand is in H.K. i think maybe (Crayfish) lobster and Paua.
i always want to go to these dai pai dong
but i'm mostly by myself whenever i go to hong kong and my hong kong family don't like dai pai dong fml😩😆
maybe i should hit up some dai pai dong tour next time if there's any
ohh I feel like Dai pai dong is usually best with more people so you can share dishes! but if you can get maybe one other person with you? then order 3 dishes and share it!
@@JaniceFung yeah good idea maybe i should ask my nephew he was overseas chinese maybe he can feel my pain 😂
I want to go there and taste the food too. We should have a small group together who just want to try all these foods.
Nice video and food. But I was wondering and thought HK food are more expensive compared to SG. Might be wrong
the shrimp roe noodles they also drizzle some pork lard on to it to make it more fragrant and glistening.... also dai pai dong licence will not be renewed when the current owner retires or dies.... it cannot be transferred or sold
ohh that makes so much sense re shrimp roe noodles!
yeah I was reading up on the licenses; the rules for license transfers are so strict it's inevitable that the number of Dai pai dongs will slowly dwindle..
try 東寶小館 in wanchai Janice😊
Love it
I really like Cheongfan...
Do you know the Hong Kong name of the food? Please say it! ^^°^^ I want Hongkong Food, nowwwww!❤❤❤
Yummy!! 👍👍
Love this ❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!
Love the way you say bur ger.
Are at the dai paid dong before. It's legit.
yeah I would go back again!
There's a number queing system in Dai Pai Pong? :)
yes! you take a number and wait until you're called :)
Thanks :)
Head off to Taiwan folks…amazing food, culture, safety, etc.
Pork skin is usually called pork rind
Love your food videos, this one particularly! Wish we were eating buddies in Sydney!
Where is the best wonton noodle?
Hey, you forgot to eat 打冷！ 消夜阿！
yesss to added sugar for soy bean milk!!! Thats the only way XD
Haha yeah 100% otherwise it’s like… bean water 😅😅
good video mate
cheers Joseph, thanks for watching!
Do they have English menus or need to use google translate?
the Dai Pai Dong location had English in the menu. for some of the other spots, I am not 100% sure
A A A RamenRaf would say lesssssssss gooooooooo
🤣
Curious if you were born in Australia ? Your English is so good. 👍
No I wasn’t born in Aus! Came here when I was a kid
shoutout from dubai! i miss HK so much!!!!!

@@flatearthsteve mostly food... roast goose at yat lok resto, claypot rice and Dai pai dong

Great ❤

Yooooo helllo!

So much msg!
Hong Kong changed so much in the recent 20 years, in a bad way.
SADLY
I’ve lived here for 20yrs and I think it’s better than when I first arrived. It’s cleaner, there are so many things activities to do especially with kids. Because of that people are having more fun and it’s more relaxed and most importantly, the food is better than ever.
Still better than any American city right now.
Is still bad when no night life
Agreed.
Man, you lookSsssssssssss
china allows talking on the trains?
now im hungry!
time for a snack?
