The syrup is for the french toast 😭😭 Also pineapple "oil" is just a pineapple bun with a thick slice of butter in the middle like the one you ordered. They translated it a bit too literally
I love cantonese food, watching all those delicious food makes me hungry 😋 . One of my favorites are the steamed rice rolls , roasted pork belly, roasted goose/duck, roasted bbq pork.... 😊
The dish of the beef noodle is the indicator of the quality of the restaurant. As it is very hard to make it tasty enough without breaking the noodles, so it was common for people to order that dish to see the technique of the chef. 😊
Haha, not many tourists visit the cook food centers. They are mainly for locals. Surprised that you didnt get any of the BBQ meats over rice. It is a HK classic staple!
Let the steam dumplings cool down a little bit so they are a bit firm. Try picking them up from the top or with the help of a spoon. The idea is not breaking it losing the juice inside. Normally the dish comes with some black vinegar with slices of ginger to dip.
@@JacobandJennyTravel Thank you for the vlogs. Another reason for let them cool down a little bit is that the juice is so hot that it could burn the mouth 😨
@@JacobandJennyTravel Glad you’re having such a good time enjoying the food here. There’re so much more though … you need more time and a couple more stomachs. 🤣 Travel safe!
Historically, dim sum just means refreshments. The term literally means "a bit of goodwill", hence any type of cooked snacks to serve guests as a token of kindness can be considered dim sum. Nowadays we usually restrict the word dim sum into referring to Cantonese steamed or fried dumplings, buns, rolls and cakes. So Wonton noodle soup would not be a conventional dim sum, but Wonton in broth would be.
So that was your first Dim Sum - EVER? I don't know if you know this, but Dim Sum is a specialty of the Cantonese cuisine of southern China, of which Hong Kong is definitely a part. On Chinese New Year this year, I celebrated by going to a Chinese restaurant here in Albuquerque, where I live, which bills itself as the only Chinese restaurant in New Mexico serving authentic, homemade Dim Sum. They had the whole dragon dance thing and all that - it was wild! This year is the Year of the Dragon, and I was also born in the Year of the Dragon, some six Chinese zodiac cycles ago - and so, I will be having my 72nd birthday this year,. I hope I won't offend you, but would a fair characterization of you be the bookish Jacob and the gastronomic Jenny?
We did know that! That sounds like an amazing experience, we are glad you had a good time and it felt authentic! Was the food good there? Yeah that seems like a fair characterization of us haha!
@@JacobandJennyTravel Yes, that restaurant, the Ming Dynasty in Albuquerque, seems to be one of the better Chinese restaurants in the city. And a lot of old time Chinese people eat there, so I know it must be good. Albuquerque is quite a cosmopolitan city, with many different ethnic and international communities represented.
You should try some real authentic Cantonese food from actual Canton province / Guangdong just above HK, as a HKer I sometimes visit there from time to time, would be a worthwhile trip I reckon for you two 👍
She finally figured out the syrup is for French Toast, not Pineapple Bun. I would have order ham macaroni soup with scramble egg toast for my breakfast instead. Since they went to BBQ cafe, kind of surprise that they didn't order any roasted meat like suckling pig, roast duck, or roast goose etc. Although they got bbq pork, but it was dice up and cooked in fried rice rather than getting an actual slice from the window. Would have skip out that sweet & sour pork, but definitely like the beef chow fun. One plate of chicken cashew is common dish there in the food court. Rather save my dim sum during the day time instead of dinner. Wonton Noodles is not apart of dim sum meals compare to the rest.
Interesting watching you two - some of the dishes you ordered were your typical western/american 'chinese', which was actually disappointing to see. At a BBQ meat place, you order BBq meat. At cooked food centre, you order what others are eating there (cashew chicken...? How many other locals were eating that?) Biting into soup dumplings and squirting everywhere...again, foreigner behaviours. As tourists wanting to promote the places you visit, perhaps observe what the locals are eating AND how they do it, that will help you enjoy a more authentic experience and share a more authentic experience. Yes, Hong Kong cuisine, in general, tends to have a more nuanced sweetness in their dishes. Spicy and sour condiments are on the side for adjustment. Other regions may be more overtly sour and spicy with sweetness as the side condiment. Overall, appreciate your efforts and good intentions wanting to promote Hong Kong in a positive way to your viewers. Keep observing; keep researching; keep being real!
No need to be rude! Do not judge! Everyone has their first time and I appreciate their effort in trying and experiencing new things! As for the cashew chicken, of course local people eat this dish too - it may not be the first thing that comes up in our mind, but we definitely do eat cashew chicken. This is NOT an Americanised dish, unlike General Tao chicken. You should keep your sad, pathetic comment to yourself. You must be a very unhappy person to be belittling other people on social media!

That is so interesting! Thank you for the information :)
Try chilli oil on the dried beef noodles, work magic
That sounds so delicious!! Thanks for the recommendation :)
@@JacobandJennyTravel Some likes to dip it in half chili sauce and half mustard sauce.
U guys are smart to go to the food court inside the wet market building! They have got some of the best wok dishes!
Thank you friend!! It was delicious :)
the syrup is for French toast😊
Thank you friend :)
Haha, not many tourists visit the cook food centers. They are mainly for locals. Surprised that you didnt get any of the BBQ meats over rice. It is a HK classic staple!
We actually thought the rice would have BBQ meat over it 😂 haha!!
You two should find a local to take you guys to have seafood. Live seafood is our most famous cuisine!

That’s great to know! Thanks :)

Have you added syrup on the French toast
Yes it was so delicious!! We loved it :)
You had all the best food.
It was all so delicious! Thanks so much for watching :)
Jenny hold your chopsticks one inch higher, above the middle mark, you will find it easier and more comfy to use 😅👍
Thanks for the information :)
Should have tried the "half milk tea half coffee" there.
That sounds delicious! Next time :) thanks for the recommendation!
Welcome to HK! Bon Appétit !🤣😋
Thank you friend!! All the food is so delicious 🤤

I am sure it would be so amazing and we definitely want to do that soon! Thanks so much for the recommendation :)
the syrup is for the toast not for the piapple bun
That is good to know! Thanks friend :)
We don’t put chilli sauce on sweet and sour pork ! 😂
Thanks for letting us know :)
How many meals did you eat in a day? 🤪Welcome to Hong Kong by the way!
Hahaha I think we ate three with a snack in between lunch and dinner but it felt like SO much food 😂🤪 thanks so much for watching :)
the syrup is for the french toast not the pineapple bun just like you add syrup for pancakes …😅
Hahaha we eventually figured that out! Thanks for the information :)
Amazing food, but expensive
Okay, but remember these are Hong Kong Dollars $$$
Yes it was a little bit expensive but not too bad 🙌🏼🙌🏼 thanks so much for watching!! :)
