Thanks Luke for another Great Episode, and it’s the first Hong Kong Episode in the series since 2018! Thanks for the beautiful shooting and documentary. I don’t mind paying more for the Great Fresh Quality Food and the Great Ambience, the cleanliness and the great fresh selection! All Great Restaurants and Location selections, Luke! Thanks very much, I feel happy that you are taking little bit of advice on board. Take good care, enjoy yourselves and thanks for adding a bit of authentic Hong Kong local culture touch in between. Chrissie xx
Sai Kung is super pricey because the target customers are all tourists who can afford the inflated seafood price. Delicious and wide selection, but you pay for it. If you want the same thing, look up eateries located inside wet markets in Kowloon side of Hong Kong, same selection but half the price. Dirtier and grungier though, only locals go. Tourists would be scared.
I don’t think so. Sometimes places are dirty but not the food. If many people eating there especially you already said there is a markets not restaurants dirty can’t avoid right . But I can say the foods are amazing in Kowloon side also.
The dingier and dirtier the market the better the food. While I would pay the inflated price for convenience because I can I would definitely hit as many night markets as possible too. Because hell yes.
Steamed scallops with vermicelli is also my number one, I like to eat it the most! In fact, those seafood can be eaten in Taiwan, and the price is cheaper! As for the light show, I think it is more exciting to watch it on the shore than on a boat. Next time you can watch it in Victoria Harbor! Thanks a lot for sharing, happy travels! 👍🥰🙏
Many moons ago, whenever I ever traveled to HK, I always ate in the back streets of Tsim Sha Tsui - my go to was Beef Tendon Noodle soup. Great seafood on Lantau island as well, at very affordable prices. I avoided Tourist places like Jumbo. Did eat numerous times at The Peak - 6 to 8 different cuisines in one resto. Plus great photo opps. Cheers from Port Credit ON.
HKD 971 for the seafood. That's a bit expensive. But that is a tourist location and that is a famous tourist restaurant, and that is tourist price. Locals would go the urban restaurants and pay about $500 for that. In this location, I would walk further into that street where several smaller restaurants there can serve the foods with lower price.
Hi Luke. Fam from HK here. That dishes worth way too much. Sai kung is notorious for its pricey seafood. You can get some authentic ones else where. Anyway glad that you like the food，🤤
welcome back to hk Luke. it's well-known that eating seafood in saigon should pay a premium. even for locals. but tourists would be higher. you may simply find a chinese restaurant which has their own tanks for seafood. their seafood dishes only cost probably half price with same quality. no need to go to saigon.
Hong Kong sure has changed since I was there in 1966, back then both sides of the street were being used by food carts. What great food I would walk along see something that looked good to eat, sit at a little table and chair that was provided and chow down. I ate at those little spots for 9 days never got sick once. Great food YUMMY.😋😁😀
To purchase the seafood from the fisherman in Sai Kung and bring it to the restaurant is much cheaper than ordering from them. I like the beef briskett and the thick egg noodles. And I like to get on Aqua Luna when I get my chance to get home next year.
Damn, I thought foods in China supposed to be cheap like Taiwan, but $125 for two scallops, two mantis shrimps, and a veggie plate is way too expensive.
Nope, Hong Kong is one of the worst value food cities in the world imo. You pay a premium there for average quality. If you just stick to street food and research some cheap places you can still have fun at a reasonable price, but overall the value is not there And you basically need to rinse your own cups, plates utensils before eating - that's what the locals do
Dishes are washed but it's almost traditional to rinse your dish, cups, and chopsticks in a bowl of hot water or tea. Most HKers enjoy drinking hot tea or just plain hot water. It may come from the days when HK imported, desalinated, and treated its water supplies. Visited as a kid back in the 70s and 80s, so water from the tap had to be boiled before consumption, and there was no such thing as ice at restaurants. Oranges has always been a traditional complimentary dessert at restaurants. Much like fortune cookies are given out these days at Chinese restaurants in the US. Many don't have washing machines and dryers in their homes due to costs and taking up precious space. That's why many hang their clothes where ever they can. Even in Japan, washing machines are available in many homes but no dryers. You have the warm sun, why not use it?
Thanks for the video! Headed for HK in Nov and was just looking for an amazing seafood place (aside from roast goose and HK cafe)! This will be it even with tourists price! YOLO!
No one needs to wash their dishes when they go out for food in Hong Kong. All you need to do is to flush them, just in case the dishes have been washed with too much of detergent, that´s it! ♥
@@LukeMartin you definitely got scammed unfortunately. Sai Kung is known to be a huge tourist trap. Yes they do have good seafood but really need to do homework on pricing how it works there.
If u prefer more economic version meal, try seafood restaurants in Lei Yue Mun. My reason is simple: more restaurants means higher competitiveness , less tourists than Sai Kung means they cant request high prices if want to survive😂
Many people in HK blame the food provided by Kau Kee and restaurants in Sai Kung expensive and so-so. Most of their consumers are tourists(mainly from Mainland China) instead of local residents. As a Hongkonger, I think most oridinary restaurants can satisfy my stomach.
@haha4581 Actually, seafood sold in Sai Kung and other placers comes from the same wholesalers, but the price of seafood in Sai Kung is expensive and not reasonable.
Another unsugar-coated , great review ! @11:54 " . . . they do you give you oranges . . . " LOL hopefully there's an opportunity to collab with #HumidwithaChanceofFishballsTours
The seafood looks AMAZING! But I wondered what veggies were that? To me it looked like broccoli stems but with leaves instead of florets 😋 I love green vibrant vegs loaded with garlic MMMMMMM ❤️ Are you guys planning trips to Europe in the future? I’d love to give you some tips of beautiful hidden gems across Belgium 🇧🇪 lots of love x
Those little restaurants must do a crazy turnover each day in order to pay for their lease, cost, etc., I'm sure they all work so so hard for not much... Loved the fish 'markets' - so cool. thanks, Luke - Love your uploads on Sundays...a nice way to end the week with your adventures!
I assure you these restaurants are earning much more than most of the people over the world😂 Seafood restaurants in Sai Kung, Hong Kong are pretty infamous for charging people way more expensive than usual. One single steamed scallops could charge more than HK$150 (which is almost 20USD).
There’s no shame eating with your hands. Actually it makes everything taste better 😂😂😂😂😂. Also the restaurants started providing hot water for you to rinse dishes and utensils during the SARS in 2003.
Hands down, the most amazing city in the world.

Scared? You're having a laugh 😂
Scared? What a bizarre comment.

Not like that, more like a Singapore Hawker Centre with A/C❄️🥶

西貢是香港的後花園，西貢是有不少外國人在那裡住。在西貢不單止海鮮美味好吃，還有其他食物都很好吃。在西貢吃海鮮其實都幾貴，1西貢是遊客區，2西貢近海岸邊，3是吃風景，所以在西貢吃美味的海鮮是不便宜，還有在西貢碼頭出面還有一些小島，在西貢碼頭海岸邊可以坐船出去這小島海灘遊泳 是遊泳區 在這裡有不少人在遊泳，還有一個小島是哥爾夫球場，您可以在那裡打球的，在西貢碼頭海岸邊附近是有一些人在賣船票的，您可以在這裡買船票😊
Thank you for the nice video of Hong Kong Seafood Heaven 👍
I haven’t had time to watch this video until now. Hong Kong looks so nice and the food really looks so delicious. Thanks for another great video Luke

Im living for 2 years in Sai Kung❤ and I love this place so much
Watching from Myanmar(Burma). Also can you please visit here sometime? Love the videos❤

where do you recommend?

Thank you for sharing we will be there in a few weeks
Omg, I'm salivating at all the seafood and the beef brisket. It's almost 11pm here in England 😋
HK beef noodles and beef porridge are out of this world.
Happy Canada Day Luke 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Happy Canada Day and Hong Kong day!

Good 👍 I just back fr Hong Kong but didn’t try seafood mostly had noodle with wontons and with beef brisket and Tim sum at Tsim Sha Tsui
Damn, I thought foods in China supposed to be cheap like Taiwan, but $125 for two scallops, two mantis shrimps, and a veggie plate is way too expensive.
Hong kong is a bit different than mainland china
@@proudasiangirl576 Its 975 HKD, which is USD 125.
Yeah totally agree with you. If dishes like fish and/or crab was served, I can still understand.
In hk if you dont kniow the prices you are gonna get fleeced. He could of bought a king crab with that price in hk

Great video /Luke price is high but the quality is the best
Love the Hong Kong vibe...
Looks yummy, not cheap but still worth it! 👍🏼👍🏼😃
Such a great adventure of you to watch and exploring some of local restaurants in HK.🎉🎉

多謝你介紹好香港的海鲜型男😊
Thanks for the video! Headed for HK in Nov and was just looking for an amazing seafood place (aside from roast goose and HK cafe)! This will be it even with tourists price! YOLO!
Sai Kung so much more expensive now unfortunately! However the seafood still looks banging 💥
I’m so hungry watching this video. 👍
Luke, bueno el vídeo😋 SALUDOS DESDE MI PAÍS CHILE 🇨🇱😍
So much great food in HK, feels like you could film a 10 part series in the city alone 😅
I know! I need to keep coming back!!
Hong Kong is so beautiful, especially HK island,
Hi Luke Stunning video 😳😳😳 watching from city of brotherly love USA
Nice to see you. I love seafood eat for me , hope you are doing well.
Wao. Please What's the name of the restaurant .
US$125 for 2 scallops and 2 big prawns? Wow. Pass.
Sai Kung tempat yang indah dan banyak ikan segar yang dijual, yang bikin menarik membeli ikan dari nelayan langsung di atas sampan
No one needs to wash their dishes when they go out for food in Hong Kong. All you need to do is to flush them, just in case the dishes have been washed with too much of detergent, that´s it! ♥
We got mee tarik beef meats with spicy broth.
Love HK harbor at night, didn't know about that sea food. thank u
125 dollars its actually crazy.
Your foodie video is great! Keep it up! May I know how much you had spent for the whole seafood dinner?
Those scallops with garlic are off the charts. Unfortunate weather though, Sai Kung is a beautiful place on sunny days especially adjacent islands.
Watching from Cambodia 🇰🇭
As for me and family,oily Choy Sam tasted once,fried scallops tasted twice, fried oaty prawn tasted once.thx.
Nice shades. I’m from Hk but live in Toronto
Watching from UAE
😋😋you recommend food all I 👍 like .
Hollywood Kung Fu Panda and Mulan, is also based on the sichuan shu nan Bamboo Sea landscape.
Love the boat trip 👍👍
Sichuan shu nan bamboo sea It is also a must to visit the famous attractions
I do love it so much 😂
As a Cantonese I can confirm 125$ for those food is too expensive,is almost like a scam…
I thought so too..
@@LukeMartin you definitely got scammed unfortunately. Sai Kung is known to be a huge tourist trap. Yes they do have good seafood but really need to do homework on pricing how it works there.
welcome back to Hong Kong
How does this work? You order what you want from the tank and then ask them to cook it for you? Or can you just order from the menu?
If u prefer more economic version meal, try seafood restaurants in Lei Yue Mun.
My reason is simple: more restaurants means higher competitiveness , less tourists than Sai Kung means they cant request high prices if want to survive😂
You are totally wrong. I live near Lei Yue Mun and had seafood dinner at there only once. More expensive than Sai Kung!
First comment :)
Many people in HK blame the food provided by Kau Kee and restaurants in Sai Kung expensive and so-so. Most of their consumers are tourists(mainly from Mainland China) instead of local residents. As a Hongkonger, I think most oridinary restaurants can satisfy my stomach.
If you can't afford the restaurant, go somewhere else.
Kau Kee is a tourist trap and they use frozen brazilian beef briskets lol
@haha4581 Actually, seafood sold in Sai Kung and other placers comes from the same wholesalers, but the price of seafood in Sai Kung is expensive and not reasonable.
“Yummy”😋😋😋😋😛😛👍👍👍🙏🙏👍👍👍👍
A lots of seafood I love ❤️ it
It’s so delicious!!
Another unsugar-coated , great review ! @11:54 " . . . they do you give you oranges . . . " LOL
hopefully there's an opportunity to collab with #HumidwithaChanceofFishballsTours
I ate Kau Kee beef Iraqi noodles in Sheung Wan fm 1994 $18 to now almost $70 but delicious
We got pinkish syrup juice at banana bro.
It would be nice if you could cover some more affordable food. I'm more of a street food guy.
The seafood looks AMAZING! But I wondered what veggies were that? To me it looked like broccoli stems but with leaves instead of florets 😋 I love green vibrant vegs loaded with garlic MMMMMMM ❤️ Are you guys planning trips to Europe in the future? I’d love to give you some tips of beautiful hidden gems across Belgium 🇧🇪 lots of love x
Choi sum thats what we call here in hong kong..its a mustard
@@LimzoroIt's Gai Lan or Chinese Brocoli
@@robocop581 i thought it was choi sam
@@Limzoro Choy sum is bok choy or pechay in the Philippines
Did you say Damn 😂😂 Luke
6:55, those are called glass noodles
Mantis shrimp use paprika
Like what time was this? what hours?
you must try 蟶子 Razor Clam next time
Those little restaurants must do a crazy turnover each day in order to pay for their lease, cost, etc., I'm sure they all work so so hard for not much...
