More Hongkongers have been heading north to mainland China for recreation, bringing back with them a taste for new types of Chinese food. Mainland Chinese F&B chains have been capitalising on the trend by expanding their trade in the city. The Post spoke with one restaurant specialising in suancai, a traditional Sichuanese fish recipe. It opened five branches in a year and plans to expand even further. Hong Kong consumers meanwhile explain why they have changed their perceptions about mainland food and drink brands, which in the past had been affected by food safety scandals across the border.

Sure looks a lot better than Taco Bell or McD.
Please don't care this to those garbage brands
Nah Mc Donald is the best those chinese can’t compete
Chinese use low quality oil chinese poor
@@Dashomin lol does americans use high quality oil
@@adamsaciid4919 Not an American, most likely Indian.
They even got TaiEr here in Bangkok. And yes even the Thais loved it.
It's familiar enough to other thai and southeast Asian food.

This restaurant is one my favorites, their fish is fresh which makes them stand out from other restaurants that make the same dish. They have their own fish farms and supply chain is very well established, which provides fresh fish every day to their restaurants across china
Halal?
That's the beauty of marketing to make you believe everything is from farm to table.
@@tangt4860 is it halal?
@@goodputin4324 bro fish is halaal
😂
You must be joking.
HK will be able to enhance Mainland brands.
Looks amazing 🤩
I mean better than american KFC and Mcdonalds
Have ever been the kitchen of a Chinese restaurant, they throw nothing away. At best they trim the sides of the rotten meat or vegetables.
@@wynn3077exactly Mc donald meat and buns made fresh KFC fresh chickens chinese people can’t compete
@@Dashomin I personally prefer Japanese food , nuclear or not .
@@wynn3077mcds is the worst food imaginable. Transfat oils, cancerous preservatives, high sugar fructose sweeteners, petrochemical additives, wafer thin meat patties, bleached flour, etc. Very nutritious for the landfill.
Interesting development
Chinese Hotpot > American Hamburger
you can't exactly walkaround with a hotpot so they're not comparable
@@GameFuMaster the what about dumplings ?
@@GameFuMaster Whether or not you can walk around with the food is only one point of comparison between two food items. You can still compare their flavor, texture, price, healthiness, etc.
@@therealnoble9799 I mean they're different foods.
I'm not sure if I'd ever want to have cheese in my dumplings.
This is one of my favorite Chinese dish . I often eat it
As a hong Kong, I would like to try different things
I live in Xiamen and my wife orders this all the time 😁 It's the only Sichuan dish i can eat hahaha, rest is way too spicy 🌶️🥵
It's joever.
Why do they keep asking the white guy ? is he a food expert ?
There are thousands of dishes that the mainland has that Hong Kong doesn't have. Not sure why Hong Kong limited itself in the past.
Have ever been to China or Hong Kong sinkhole , if you as you used claim that you were an American I doubt it. And how many of those thousands of dishes have you actually tried?
The doctor we dined with many times, had the habit of ordering boiled water , she would used to rinse the dining plates and bowls . That showed how much she trusted the hygiene of local restaurants.
@@AtheismScientism It means HK is not open. Who said China doesn't have all of HK's dishes? You must have never gone to China. Right across the sea is China and guess what. Lots of HKers live there.
@@darkcloud5830 then they'r enot HKers ...
@@BigJoe-g3o Who said? Hong Kong is expensive. Some people have to travel.
see it as "limited itself", or see it simply as HKers eating what they want, if there is an actual demand for all these mainland dishes then all the power to them, otherwise HK restaurants should continue to serve the Cantonese cuisine that it's known for
as long as cantonese people keep their standards for food, i'm okay with whatever comes
but there's no evidence they're more popular, just that they can afford the rents which the old hong kong restaurants can't because their customers have fled.
Fled to eat fish and chips and get hate crimed.
@@lche059 the restaurants should be full of hong kongers right ? ...
@@Drownedinblood the king of britain loves fish and chips .
Tai Er (Chinese Sauerkraut Fish featured in the video) has expanded to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and even Vancouver, with long queues, and spawning clones and even causing local restaurant chains to offer the same dish.
This video is a few years late in the making honestly (being HK focused), many many other concepts like Haidilao, Mixue, Luckin have been on the rise for a while.

@@mj.recommends I thought Haidilao is singaporean ?
Hong Kong is losing influence in every sense.
Been 27 years, wonder what a “typical” Hong Kong dish will be 23 years from now? Spicy hor fun soup, shrimp dumpling no longer made from rice flour 🤔😅
Hong Kong is still Cantonese... dim sum is a big thing in Guangzhou too...
90% of food served in HK doesn't even originate from Hong Kong itself 😂
@@dxelson Exactly, besides a handful of locally-created dishes, 95% of Hong Kong cuisine known to locals and foreigners are essentially Cantonese food from the mainland side. 😂😂
You’ll soon find gutter oil being used in all the Hong Kong dishes. Yummy.
People like you are just a lost cause, all that food originated from the mainland from a place called Guangdong....
nice,
yuck
The challenge is China needs to establish food chain with noodle, like mcd or KFC they will be accepted worldwide as new superpower of world
Chinese food (Cantonese) already is the favourite cuisine in the west
They have one, it's called Hai Di Lao..
Lanzhou beef noodles are becoming popular worldwide
You want to be an international cuisine centre, you need to feature all types of food, from all over the world - high end, mid range and street food! And China alone has such a wide range, from north to South and east to west, So what's the fuss?
Hong Kong is finished.
nasty mainland dishes that are full of oil and spicy peppers. stick to southern Chinese food where they actually use quality ingredients instead of soaking anything and everything in hot oil or chili peppers.
Why some Thailand people had to do bad thing to Thailand people when they turn China? Because it make Thailand don't like China now.
Orn Lee, Orn boonsiri
Suancai : I dunt know but where I live (Kuala Lumpur), there is also the same Chinese restaurant. I tried it one time, nothing special, the dish is oily and the taste average, it certainly don't make me wanting to come back again!. Plus most of the customers are mainland China folks (tourists I guess) , so it is noisy, everyone speaking loud! Sorry but not for me..
Do Dalits have money to consume Chinese food?
oil and flour ...
or it could be that those chinese restaurants aren't doing well in china and so are trying their luck in hong kong ??
Failing so hard that they can pay the HK rent.😂
@@albback8176 they were formally successful in china and very rich that's why they can pay the rent in hong kong. still doesn't mean they will succeed in HK. past success doesn't mean future success especially in this new economy.

Catfish fillet
make sense since most mainlanders are now the citizens of HK
I think you got it wrong. Most mainlanders (1.4 billion minus 7 million) are still mainlanders
Is this part of the National Security Law programme? To expand the mainland presence in the SAR operating independently from the city’s laws.
Ignorant comment
Are you part of the idiotic protestors? To criticize anything mainland related irrespective of logic and truth?
Are you part of the protest programme? To criticize and slander anything mainland related, irrespective of truth or logic?
How about the expansions of McDonald’s, KFC, etc?
Crazy conspiracist 🤣🤣🤣
Keep Cantonese cuisine alive in HK why bother with northerners' cuisine nothing but spicy dishes.
Do you not like variety, Cantonese food dominates hk and around the world, theres other provinces who has its own specialities they should showcase it too. Cantonese food is the mascot and will remain so
I thought Cantonese people came from the mainland and there’s a pretty big Catanese population within the mainland
Sichuan, hunan cuisine is spicy and oily and they are from the South not the North!
Are they using traditional ingredients like gutter oil? Gotta be the same as in China 🇨🇳 🛢️
no they use your moms ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Gutter oil. 😂
Power of capitalism.
healthy ? hahahahahaha.... LOL
The cooking process may be transparent, but the making of the ingredients is not. Lets not forget the recent cooking oil and petroleum scandal that happened recently. Even a state owned company can be caught in the scandal, whats the odds of private firms not being a part of it. But I love cheap stuff so even if I know its long term poison I will still buy it. Love china, irregardless of whether its fake or real 🇨🇳
Oily, salty, blah😢
healthy my as***, so oily, healthy 😅😅😅
and that's if it's real fish lol
@@BigJoe-g3o ofc It's real fish???
Better than Indian curry
the white dude says is healthy ... really a no brainer
These chyna food chains will fail eventually, we Hkers like this this rice and curry fish ball only.
Indian Hong Kong people are Dalits in Hong Kong, right?
@@yongzhu8454 idk, ask Dalits in Dongguan bot farm
@@Hkchinese888 Oh, Dalits, please go back to India.
@@Hkchinese888Do you like Indian food?
they serve you mumbai special mohammed kumar
"Healthy"
Hong Kong food is very bad .oily and the service attitude is unacceptable. It is the most rude in the whole world
Ai, Hong Kong cuisine is great we pioneer fine dining... we do need to break the toxic service attitude though.
🤣🤣🤣the disagree so does mainland china. Cantonese food is the mascot of chinese cuisine its not even remotely close comparing to the follow up
I would never support Asian business
