    Cantonese cooking is all about showcasing the natural tastes of the food, so we dont tend to use that much salt or seasoning. Some might call it bland, but we tend to call it like a "clean taste".

Wait til your next visit and when the pineapple buns come straight out from the oven and is still steaming hot, once they slice it up and put the thick chunk of butter in and it melts immediately, that is another level!! 😂 Claypot rice is good, but it is even better on a cold winter's night!

      The Western palate can't stomach foods with strong odors. As a Chinese, I can't either. I can't stand foods caked in soy sauce, like Cantonese Beef Casserole. I wish more Chinese restaurants did a modification of their menus to cut off the soy sauce. Just replace it with beef broth and other natural ingredients like minced garlic and ginger. No need for the soy. Tofu is alright though... just not "stinky" tofu.

    I'm from Hong Kong but now live in Canada, here are my two cents about the food in this video.
    For the roast pig, there is a version that stuffed with fried rice and it tastes far better than just the pig you have. The rice absorb the lard from the pig which make it excellent.
    There are so more version of clay pot rice, and they taste soooo different that will surprise you. But you were right, the soul of this is the marinated soy sauce, it boosts the taste to another level.
    Egg Tart, I'm not sure if those you had are freshly out of oven, if not, try your hand on those bc the taste of the freshly out of oven egg (no matter which version you have), it is sooo good there is no comparison at all!
    Stinky tofu texture is super crispy layer with moist texture inside, the smell is not for everyone sadly. But if you think that stinky tofu smell horrible, try those with red chili oil one, it can literally repulse most ppl in 10 m radius lol
    Same as egg tart, you MUST try a freshly out of oven Pineapple bun because of the same reason, and since it is still steaming hot, that slice of butter will melt within which makes it taste even better~
    Egg waffle now is like bubble tea which has so many variety, what make it taste good is the combination of mix. Some is more filling and some is super light and crisp once cooked.
    I could show you pictures from my collection if there is a place to do so :D

    that pinapple bun is actually conchas,you can find it in carlifornia. theres another version of it in hong kong,literally translated as Mexican bun,guga should try
    that Portuguese egg tart was popularized by the mecanese people from macao,pastel de nata is the proper name,it's popular in Europe as well

    • @moonsnowy1869
      @moonsnowy1869 3 месяца назад +1

      No, the pineapple bun of HK is not conchas. From the dough to the cripy topping, none is conchas. If you know the history of HK old style bread shops, you could know you misunderstand totally. Mexican bun is another matter. There were pineapple buns in HK old style bread shops since 40's, 50's. Mexican bun entered HK through Japanese in 80's. Different doughs, taste, background culture totally.
      And, the Portuguese egg tart is different from the tart in Macau too. It's sour dough in HK Bake House one. Portuguese egg tart is very popular in Macau, but the guy brought it to Macau, who is a England person. In HK, the most popular egg tart is not Portuguese style.

    This is the third Hong Kong food tour video by US foodies I watched lately. Mark Wiens, BEFRS, and now Guga. I imagine the HK government is spending some bucks to attack American travelers, which is a great thing! They all got to visit some restaurant's kitchen and play around there, and that's nice. If you have ever worked in a restaurant's kitchen, you need a lot of blessing from the owner and the chef to allow a stranger to step into the kitchen. Or else you'll get chopped up by the line cooks. Oh, one thing in common, these 3 videos all feature the nice tour guide, Virginia.

    Next time you MUST try char siu... it's like the original version of boneless spare ribs (the American-Chinese dish). It's probably my favorite form of eating pork after bacon. And it varies hugely in quality/price like other types of meat. You can find it anywhere from roadside stalls to michelin star restaurants. HK has some of the best char siu in the world and you'll be blown away by the flavor. Best served with some white rice + a runny egg IMO!
