The comments about dog eating are just dumb and disappointing lol. For one, it’s explained the noodles are named for their shape. Secondly, Hong Kong does not, and to my knowledge never has had a dog eating culture. Casual racism is just so disappointing.
@Rumpled Foreskin it’s wrong because they are animals that literally evolved with us to be our guards, hunting partners, & pets. Pigs were raised & bred specifically for consumption for a millenia (even though I personally think they still shouldn’t be consumed)
@Knarf Stein it’s a regular thing among the Koreans in China, the elite in North Korea but is a dying culture in South Korea & will most likely get banned this decade
@Trap Himawari so much text, just to justify stereotypes and racism. Eating dog has never been a thing in Chinese culture overall; is something limited to specific rural and poor regions, which barely had anything else to eat.
really good vid, great vibes and questions
For the ones who reads this just know this is only the beginning keep pushing, grinding, and fighting. Whatever it is in life you want to do to go after it life is to short. Life is a marathon not a sprint so go out there and live it up I hope all is well and goes well for you peace and one love.
i love how his origin story is “I’m Going to Cook if i want to… DAD…”
Great video but one unrelated question – why is the Hong Kong tourism board sponsoring anything at this point when everyone travelling there has to spend $1000+ to spend 7 days in a hotel room?
because every business in China is directly associated to a branch in their government. very little occurs in China without permission from them.
Thats the point, after 2019 riots and 2020-2022 covid fortress, HK should start to reopen again if they dont want to lose their international city title to other places
Recently the government start to relax more and more, and some people pushed to complete reopening and scraping of quarantine to international travels
There are 1k positive case of Covid lately and no lockdown is imposed, only a new rule of “Negative RAT test for going to bars”
As an Asian American living in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 past decade, I have to give this guy props for bringing joy to people with his food. 🚀
How do the noodles not get mushy after 45 min cook time?
ancient Chinese secret
Which Dynastie?😉😉
Don’t be racist, guys. He literally explains the etymology at the beginning of the video
this guy’s life has got to become a movie
Can’t wait for them to cast Chris Pratt as Cheung Hou Hei
his friends the real one
I have to try this whenever I get to travel to HKG (if the C.P.C. hasn’t turned it into a shithole by then) again!
And I’m glad his relationship with his now wife has become strong.
These comments are so fucked up. Y’all need to stop this bs. Anyway, happy for this man and his success. I hope he’s still alive and doing well.
This is legit my favourite food series right now. These street food icons are the heart and soul of their communities. Nothing but love for their hustle.
he talks so fast im tryin to read the captions like 😵💫
Hong Kong tourism board? So is this a Chinese sponsored video or Hong Kong?
Scary to see this “business as usual” vibe at Hong Kong, there were so many issues lately that it feels propagandistic :/ Coming from Vice, I’m disappointed.
فيديو رائع جدا ومميز بالتوفيق
