I love how you interact with your children. You're a lovely dad who encourages your kids to express their feelings. Growing up in Hong Kong, I was always scared of my parents.
Since your wife is vegetarian, I would recommend "Everyday" on Hillwood Road, Tsimshatsui. It is a vegetarian buffet restaurant. Lots of choices, very good, you can try different Chinese vegetarian dishes there. Price starts from $78 per person depending on what time and which day of the week you go. In fact, there are a number of vegetarian buffet restaurants in Hong Kong, they are pretty good and not expensive.
Fantastic short tour of HK eateries. Kids can be difficult at that age but love the fact they try anything and enjoy the tour. Look forward to more of HK
As a Hong Konger myself, it is good to see you and your family are open and brave enough to explore the local foods which are really delicious rather than only wanting to eat burgers in MacDonald all the times but honestly, the environment of and surrounding these eating places do make me feel a bit ashamed (even myself maybe a bit hesitant to go there 😅). You should try Yum Cha as well if you guys are still in Hong Kong.
Although in 🇨🇦still miss HK, your videos caught my eyes recently and really love your parenting all your kids are wonderful and sweet they are so happy and they try everything, that is amazing and definitely a very memorable life experience for them, grateful for your appreciation in our culture, keep your great job going 👍👍 well done!
Oh my, I am salivating just by watching this video! 😅 Jon, you might have had the meats in reverse though. The roasted pork that you are referring to is actually the suckling pig and vice versa. Nevertheless, amazing, amazing food! I really love your videos!
Thank you for doing this. Hong Kong is a place where I grew up in, it meant a lot for people enjoying their time and culture here after what we have been through.
Yes, apparently a poll showed that the vast majority of HKers want the UK to take over HK again. Not sure if HK doesn't legally belong to mainland China though and that it was only a colony under the UK. Furthermore, HK actually depends on Guangdong for fresh water. In any case, it seems like Beijing wants to turn HK, instead of Shenzhen, into China's semiconductor manufacturing hub. I gather that it'll boost HK's economy.
Such a lovely video of all the traditional eats from HK. Being Chinese I really was encouraged by the way your family has wholeheartedly embraced the food!
I am a foodie in HK , born and work in HK while spending some time studying and living in Canada. Kudos to youas you are training your kids well on how to appreciate food! Joyking used to be my favorite but the Charsiu quality has dropped or others have improved significantly. The rice cheung fun is also not bad. These are places I would go from time to time! I would go to Cat Cafe or even snake, owl and porcupine cafe in Tokyo only as requested by my kids~ Gelato-to-go is actually alright too!
If you love Hong Kong you should look into the NET scheme as it is an excellent teaching job. I taught in HK under the NET scheme for 13 years and loved it.
The salary (housing allowance inclusive for the NET teachers) is nearly the salary for local primary school principals. The workload of NET teachers ,however, is just 1/4 to 1/3 max of local teachers.
Wohoo! Very nice list of restaurants! Glad you went to joy hing cuz that’s my top 3 for bbq charsiu! Poor Kelly but you can order “Lai fun” (soup noodle with no meat in it) next time whenever you go to those charsiu restaurant.Glad Forrest is starting to enjoy the local food and grow up right in front of our eyes! Looking forward to his food review comments in the future!
I think you've mistaken the Roast Pork for the Suckling Pig, I watched closely at the 3 to 4 times when you kept pointing at the roast pork while referring as suckling pig, and point back to the suckling pig then refer it as the roast pork! Either ways, great video, and a very charming family, I'm a fan!👍
Happy to know that you and your family enjoy our food so much. We have the best (Char Siu, Honey Barbecue Pork ) in the world. Though it was originated from the Chinese of region Guangzhou or otherwise, some people including me still like to call it Canton .
Definately, that's one dish I look for when I come to HK, it's incredible. We didn't think much of the Duck but once we tried the Char Siu, there was no looking backwards.
The crispy, thicker skin one is called crispy pork. The one with thinner skin is the suckling pig. Actually, Joy Hing’s Cha Siu is the best of its all dishes!
Forest is so lucky to have a big brother like Granite. He is definitely playing a good role model for his siblings. Granite good job! We love you from Borneo !
The kids are so cute and very well behaved they are so lucky to get to travel to every country and they are so good at reviewing their all the foods . Fantastic kids 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏💕💕💕💕💕
I lived in Seattle for 3 years, and I have met some extremely nice, kind, and wonderful family just like Jonathan and Kelly's. I am glad to see the whole family was having a good time in Hong Kong. Thank you for choosing us, and I am quite sure your family is going to be welcomed anywhere on earth as long as it is safe to visit. I'll definitely put Alaska on my list to visit, as the landscape and glaciers are absolutely stunning.
You surely hit all the right spots for local food. What a great family you have and your children all seem very polite and quite the food reviewers themselves. Hope you had a good trip and will return again.
Cat cafe reminds us about Hello Kitties. We collect tons of Hello Kitty plushes and the Hello Kitty watches. Most of our Hello Kitty watches have Xmas style flashing light shows. We have showcases of Hello Kitty watch light shows videos on our channel. We even cuddle with the Hello Kitty plush animals every night especially during the winter season.
Thank you very much for sharing the joy and happiness of your FAMILY VACATION in HK where I was born and grew up... Great, and Super... making me a good memory of the city.
Nice to see americans actually trying the Siu Mei (Cantonese Roast meats) restaurants in HK! And thank you for being respectful and willing to try new cuisines. Definitely spend a day at dimsum for lunch! Love from a HKer in the UK.
Been thinking about visiting HK recently. You guys had some solid calls in Singapore so looking forward to trying some of these places out one day...maybe next year!
Thanks for sharing this on HK food, and your kids are so good at commenting on the taste, even better than our TV host!👏👏 Hope to see you and your family coming to HK again!🎉🎉
First time i see your video and I'm Hong Konger who lives in Canada!.. i'm happy to see your family enjoy our home food... but there are more you should try later!. Your family is very lovely as well! cheers.
Great to know that you and your family love Hong Kong cuisine and street food. As a Hong Kong local, LAN Fong Yuen's tea-coffee and Hop Yik Tai are my favorite food shops. Definitely delicious!
Wow! Thank you so much, TheSmokey1523, for your financial support. We'll use it to get the kids some treats on our upcoming travels to the USA and Thailand. :-)
Welcome to travel to Hong Kong and introduce Hong Kong’s culture and food. Thank you and your family for your positive review of this place. In fact, if you go to a supermarket or truck shop to buy daily necessities or snacks, the price will be about 30% lower than in a 711 or Circle K. In addition, Cha Chaan tang also a good choice, and locals often go there for Tea set.
You're right, all the meat - suckling pig, roast pork belly, bbq pork (char siu) can be found in Singapore too. I'm sure you had the same dish at a Singapore hawker stall....char siu with rice. Cheung fun (腸粉) can also be found in dim sum restaurants but the one you ate looks old skool compared to those found in restaurants usually wrapped with shrimps, char siu, beef, vegetables or Chinese fried dough (Youtiao). Yummy!!
hello everyone,from the Philippines here....nice trip in Hong Kong...it's so delightful to watch Forest eating just the rice, didn't he eat some of the meat??and did he finish all the rice??😂 great kids,love them😍
As a certified Hong Konger living in the US, I approve this video.
Thank you so much! Granite just mentioned that Hong Kong is his favorite city! 😀
Is there such a "certified Hongkonger"?
Certified by CIA???

You should try Yum Cha as well if you guys are still in Hong Kong.
Thanks for the tips!
dont be ashamed usa's biggest cities are far dirtier than hong kong by 1000x
Hesitant? Those hole in the walls are the best
yum Cha? often reservation and waiting....these places exist for a reason.....there is a demand for it.
Oh that lemon tea is one of the iconic drinks in Hong Kong!
Can't go wrong with vita

He was a very nice man. :-)
Your kids are so fortunate to be able to have all the unique travels and adventures you take them on. The foods looked delicious!!
Thank you so much.

Love your fam. The kids are very adorable and obedient

Try eating that char siu (barbecue pork) with the rice, they compliment each other very well
Children are behaved nicely, one good family.Welcom to Hong Kong
Happy to see that your family was enjoying different food in HK and relaxing in the cat cafe......great video 🎉🎉🎉😊
It’s never easy to go travel with young children, your children are very polite , good job

Did you visit Tai Ping Restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui? That's the oldest iconic restaurant still operate in Asis
Welcome to HK, glad to hear you guys enjoyed here, hope to meet you soon 😊
I love Aunty, taking your orders and your family, great fam - R E S P E C T!
16:45 that's the famous beverage in HK. like lemon tea. i love this one too ☺☺
Thnak you for your visit and comment. your children are very cute.
Sweet family❤ love you and your kids introducing the place and food, theey are so cute
I love the cat cafe. 😻😻😻
lovely sham shui po 腸粉👍👍👍
I think you’ve reversed the suckling pig and crispy pork. It’s wonderful to see how open everyone is though! ❤
Ha! Thanks for the correction!
Love your videos ❤
beautiful family breaking bread together it gets as good as it gets just treasure the moment happiness is beyond measure Congrat
Now these would be on my list for my next trip. Thank you!
14:06 actually suckling pig and crispy pork were flipped! Sucking pork is usually more expensive but both are my favorite dishes 😋 great vlog!
Ha! Thanks for the correction! :-)
The sauce in 16:09 is sweet sauce aka hoi sin sauce in America.
My favourite is Cheung fun , the sweet sauce on it is hoisin sauce delish
I miss Cheung fan ever!
The “sweet sauce” on the “rolled rice noodles” is called Hoisin sauce (海鲜醬）。 Instead of peanut sauce, I like the roasted sesame sauce.
Welcome to Hong Kong 😊 歡迎來香港 😊
thanks for coming back! hope the kids had a good time. (other than the lemon tea lol)
“Cha Siu” or bbq pork …. Salty usually then you could eat along with rice and noodles
hello everyone,from the Philippines here....nice trip in Hong Kong...it's so delightful to watch Forest eating just the rice, didn't he eat some of the meat??and did he finish all the rice??😂 great kids,love them😍
