  • I'm on a semi-retired models quest to eat my way through Hong Kong or any other city I travel to

  • with the help of food bloggers

  • I want to learn more about the culture, meet new people

  • and discover exciting new tastes in the places I'm in

  • They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day

  • So in this episode we're exploring some of the most popular

  • local breakfast choices in Hong Kong

  • We're starting out the morning in Jordan

  • where I'm meeting up with Ysabel

  • So did you eat breakfast yet?

  • No, not yet. I haven't eaten anything today.

  • Okay, not even coffee?

  • No, no, nothing.

  • So You drink coffee?

  • Yeah, I do drink coffee.

  • Okay, perfect

  • Honey ginger coffee

  • I am here today with Ysabel.

  • She is a local Hong Kong food blogger on Instagram

  • and today's episode is all about breakfast

  • So what, what do Hongkongers typically eat on breakfast?

  • I think a very typical Hong Kong breakfast would be fried eggs with toast and macaroni with cha siu or ham

  • What about when you're a kid? What was your favorite?

  • When I was a kid, I think I just ate cereal with milk.

  • When I was little yeah, not very Hong kong-style

  • But yeah, that's what I ate.

  • Okay, so I feel like

  • the vibe I get here is Hong Kong is a very busy place.

  • So breakfast needs to be as cheap and fast as possible

  • So you either have the Cha Chan Tang, which is super quick

  • which you guys will see it really soon

  • or people will just pop by a bakery or 7-eleven to grab like bread or something very quickly or a drink or

  • Yeah, I guess congee which is also pretty fast

  • Yes, I think so because in general people do things very fast here in Hong Kong

  • Yeah, everything. So for breakfast because they're on the way to work to school,

  • so they have to get something very quickly.

  • Thank you

  • A lot of people ask does your assistant get a drinks or food

  • I was like of course

  • Some tourists actually inbox me to ask

  • Oh, where should I go if I come here for two days or like three days

  • or what's your favorite restaurants in Hong Kong?

  • So I actually have a list that I send every one of them

  • yeah, and for you know for more for people asking for more fancy restaurants, I would suggest maybe

  • VEA in seung wan

  • For people asked about more like Hong Kong style food. I would suggest again

  • Cha Chan Tang

  • but there's one very famous one in Chun Wan

  • I don't know if you have been there before, it is called Gala Cha Chan Tang.

  • The name is Gala. I don't know how to say that in English, but

  • Thank you very much. But that's where I would recommend them to go and then

  • Australia Dairy company, is also one that I would suggest them to go because it is a very very genuine Hong Kong experience

  • yeah, everyone says the food there so good but it's weird for me because

  • When I look at the ingredients is something simple

  • so I don't know how it would be so much better than other places, so I'm excited to see that

  • Yeah, that's good. Because the toast there is very thick

  • So it's kind of different from some other restaurants

  • and also the soup they make is not something people usually make at home

  • so they are very good. I hope you'll like it

  • On that note, we set off so I could try it for myself

  • We headed to arguably the most iconic local breakfast place

  • for both locals and tourists, only to find that we'd have to wait a little longer

  • Oh, you can see the line already.

  • This is Australia dairy company

  • it's been serving up breakfast apparently with a side of attitude since 1970

  • the founder worked on an Australian farm in the 1940s and named it after that

  • It's a traditional Cha Chan Tang,

  • and besides they're amazing milk and egg products.

  • It's known for its long lines,

  • not the nicest service and being crammed with strangers in a small area

  • All this is intentional though. They want you in and out as fast as possible

  • There's a lot happening

  • There's a lot of people, drinks are being thrown at us

  • Menus

  • Are you scared?

  • You look so scared.

  • I'm observing the scene.

  • Okay

  • Upon entering, we received an English menu making it easy for tourists to clearly order

  • And the stuff, they're actually quite opposite of what I heard quite friendly

  • Maybe this was a good day or I was lucky or maybe because of the camera

  • I don't know

  • but I took it all in for the mixed personality, fast pace, organized delicious chaos it is

  • Basically this very typical Hong Kong style breakfast with a ham and also macaroni and a soup here is

  • Homemade and customized and you cannot make it at home. So this is what made it so special

  • I think it's very milky. And also there's chicken inside a soup, but I have no idea how exactly they make it

  • Yeah, that's why I cannot make it by myself

  • It comes with a side of scramble eggs and toast

  • and the toast is very thick.

  • With butter on the inside

  • So this soup is very rich in flavor with chicken

  • and it's kind of sweet, so it is very good

  • I think it is like savory and salty, but slightly creamy at the time

  • It's very smooth, I think they add a milk when they make it so that make it so tasty.

  • Yeah, it is creamy but also very like salty

  • Y: Yeah, it is kind of salty. T: Makes you wanna eat more.

  • So we did eat more and halfway through we received our drinks.

  • We went for the most iconic Hong Kong drink- milk tea

  • We got one hot and one cold and talked with the friendly strangers sharing the table with us

  • Is that your favourite breakfast?

  • Really?

  • It's very canadian, but we have maple syrup in canada.

  • I don't know what that is

  • It's honey.

  • Oh, it's a disgrace to the french toast, you have that maple syrup.

  • You'll enjoy our breakfast within a total of thirty minutes

  • then we left back into the hot humidity, feeling slightly confused about the whole experience

  • So overall, it's clear that that place is really popular. There's tons of tourists

  • There's tons of locals. People from many many countries.

  • It is tourist friendly because they have an English menu

  • It's fast it's really fast, but I had a good experience. It was pretty it's friendly, the food was good.

  • Fast and cheap. I can't complain.

  • Yeah, I agree. As a local the service today is very very good

  • Exactly, compared to what I get usually and the food is good as usual and the drinks are good

  • I'm glad you like it.

  • It's good because I haven't heard about this place before like you guys mentioned it

  • But yeah, definitely recommend this if you're looking for a breakfast place

  • because this area is really good for cheap shopping and eating.

  • So if you want to wake up go here for breakfast, walk around and shop all day.

  • I think it's really good idea.

  • Yeah, that's right.

  • Our next stop is an old bakery for some options on the go,

  • Hong Kong has some pretty uniquely flavored bread

  • That's both inexpensive and delicious

  • The most popular?

  • This is the pineapple bun.

  • Okay a lot of people like that.

  • Yeah. A lot of people like that. It's a very very Hong Kong style bun. Yeah.

  • And also the egg tart is also very popular.

  • Oh, I know this one.

  • And it's available in many other place

  • What's your favorite out of all the bread?

  • Cream bun.

  • Cream bun.

  • So a lot of cream inside the big bun.

  • Pineapple bun is also popular because it's cheap and also it's big

  • So it's filling and also cheap,

  • so it's a good choice

  • and you get a bit of fruit

  • I can just stand. Oh, you want me to sit? Okay, I'm scared. Okay. Is it okay?

  • first up

  • We've got the pineapple bun

  • So these are just flour mixed with

  • some kind of flavorings with a taste of pineapple

  • But they do not actually have pineapple pieces or any sort of pineapple inside the bun

  • So most of the flavoring is just on the top part.

  • Yes

  • So I'll try a small

  • small part of it

  • I think this one is not very sweet

  • But usually when it comes with a butter inside, the flavor would be more

  • Diverse because this one is just the flavor on top and it's cold now.

  • It's better hot?

  • Yeah, I think it is better hot.

  • So if you go right fresh in the morning, more hot?

  • Yeah, so it's better to have that for breakfast

  • Next up we have this very famous egg tart.

  • I think it's very flaky and kind of crispy. But also if it's served hot it will be a lot better

  • Because it's pretty cold now, but it's still good, it's still good.

  • So overall the bread here tends to be very sweet

  • Yeah, all of them arekind of sweet yeah, I agree

  • It's I've noticed that like even all the breakfast items like the soup was slightly sweet. The milk tea is sweet. So

  • There's not like like for example western style. It's very salty food and bitter coffee

  • But here things tend to be more on the sweeter sweeter creamier side

  • I kind of agree like Hong Kong people like a lot of cream inside everything basically

  • So we got a lot of cream inside of soup and buns and also all kind of foods we eat. So I really do

  • It's very rich.

  • So where we going next?

  • We're going to a congee place in Hau Fook treat which is a very populous street

  • Full of new restaurants and also popular among teenagers

  • So this congee place is actually one of a kind cuz is one of the most it's one of one of the oldest restaurant

  • in that street, so that's kind of special

  • This shop is here for more than 30 years.

  • Thirty years.

  • Yeah, more than 30 years.

  • Congee is a kind of rice porridge.

  • There are so many variations

  • But essentially it's made of rice cooking for a long time in water.

  • You can add different toppings and side dishes to go with it

  • Really interesting options.

  • There's a lot of parts and inside a pig's stomach kid named art

  • yeah, inside a pig's

  • stomach, kidney, intestine

  • I just like a simple one, like this one, Shanpan style.

  • Congee comes still bubbling hot.

  • Yeah, this one is really good.

  • Yeah, that's good

  • I love congee actually, this is what people eat when they are sick.

  • Chicken soup for us, like in Canada.

  • It's like very comforting, warming, very simple, so not so difficult to digest.

  • I finished up my congee,

  • Ysabel decided to take hers away with a fried dough on the side.

  • Then we went to our final spot.

  • When thinking of quick options, you can't dismiss the convenience stores.

  • We were in a 7-eleven.

  • There are 7-eleven and other convenience stores all over Hong Kong basically on every street.

  • Where you can find one and in the train station,

  • so people will just pop in here grab a quick snack, drink, food, especially before work or school.

  • So what's, what's kind of the typical items people would grab in here

  • I think just this kind of sandwiches over here.

  • Like these ones

  • Another sometimes, people will just get a carton of milk or just got a hot drink over there, especially in winter

  • But maybe not now because it's too hot

  • and there are a lot of juices available here as well.

  • So that's what we usually get for breakfast if we're in a hurry.

  • I was actually quite surprised because when I came back to Hong Kong

  • There's a lot of new options,

  • Like these rice?

  • It looks very like, it looks very similar to Japanese

  • These rice rolls, these are like more of a Korean thing, right? The kimchi stuff.

  • Yeah, they have a big selection of sandwiches

  • wraps

  • salads

  • fruits

  • These are also pretty quick,

  • you just buy these and then you heat them up in their microwave

  • and they're ready to go

  • So these are all ready-made meals

  • Overall it's super similar to the Japanese one

  • It's changed a lot over the years because when I lived here four years ago, it wasn't like this at all

  • Yeah, they had a lot of different different things.

  • Yeah. Yeah, healthier, more options more

  • more international

  • and still cheap

  • So we are all done, how many breakfast to we have?

  • Yeah, so full.

  • It's not even lunchtime but I think we were going to be completely full for the rest of the day.

  • What was your favorite item this morning?

  • Um I think, it's the Australia Dairy Company again.

  • It's my favorite place.

  • it's your favorite place.

  • Yeah that macaroni or

  • the fried eggs.

  • My favourite one was the congee

  • I really love congee

  • And I think it's because I like mushy hot food and I love oatmeal morning

  • Yeah, congee is my thing, and I got it perfectly match with the cold soy milk after.

  • And then you feel like you are ready go back out to eat. I don't know. I really enjoyed that.

  • All right. So thank you so much Ysabel for joining us today.

  • Thank You for having me.

  • I will link here below. You guys can go check her out

  • and I will see you in the next episode!

  • Bye
