    Have anyone ever wondered that Hong Kong can combine all these western ingredients to develop Hong Kong style cuisine, but there is hardly any change in western cuisines. Maybe some western chefs need to develop these new venues of dishes?

    Your presentation is highly interesting to watch as always. I watching you eating HK food which I have had no chance of eating since covid, has made me most envious!

    Even though I have been living here since I was born, I hadn't known there was such a tea called "CHA JAU" until I watched this video! From your description, I think the calories of "Cha Jau' may be much higher than that of "Lai Cha' and I guess it is pretty filling too. Btw I enjoy watching your video. Keep up with your good work!

    I miss a lot of Hong Kong cuisine. Sam's accent is English accent. I wonder how many English expats living in Hong Kong. Funny enough a lot of Hong Kong have emigrated to England since 2020.

    Pineapple bun has nothing related to pineapple taste. Just the top look like a 🍍. That's all. However most pineapple bun top made commerically to create the cracks on top is Ammonium bicarbonate. That's not good to eat too much.

    I sure miss & love authentic HK style milk tea and iced lemon tea. There’s some in NYC, but it’s hard to find one in the DMV area.

    Can you do more cha chaan teng outlets but focus more on the food and drinks instead of the camera pointing at your face. We are interested in the food and drinks.

    Excellent and attractive recommendation 😉. Sam you once again successfully attracted our attention to these people HK style mini meals. I been visiting similar cafes in Canada and USA but hardly they can provide similar attractiveness to me compare to this very traditional old cafe which provides excellent meals like those you recommended.
    Thanks again Sam 😉

    Thanks Sam for another great episode. My Great Auntie lives only a few hundred metres from that place. Next time my partner and I are over (hopefully early next year) we will definitely drop in for a pineapple bun and milk tea. Keep up the great work in these trying times over there. Marcus and Siobhan.

    and the coffee in cha chan teng is very special the same method is used to brew compared with lai cha..mixture of different coffee beans and much longer time is used to brew the coffee..so it is more caffine than a double espresso. the old school they add pinch of salt, tiny put of egg shell and some spirits into it.

    you will put the mixtures of tea leaves into a fish bone container bag and brew it. make a ring to hang the fish bone bag on the rim of aluminium teapot incase for reuse it. my father usually use one bag for two weeks until it spoils..wash the bag everytime after brew.

    Sam you can make you own lai cha also…my father worked drinks bar before in 1970's when he's young. Lai Cha is not only english breakfast tea… the tea brewed is a mixture of different tea leaves..my father he is 70 years old now and he still makes his own lai cha himself. Mainly a mix of ceylon black tea, lipton english tea and some pu'er tea. usually in wholesellers my father bought in pounds and mix himself..and the proportion he keeps secret..

    This traditional Cha chaan teng definitely looked like a travel back in time though the food seems to have caught up with the current times. It was surprising to see Sam ordering the tea and the food items in Cantonese. May we say it shows how much he works hard to learn and adapt to the culture of Hong Kong. I am thousands of miles far from Hong Kong but share some level of his passion for Hong Kong and hope to be there someday. Cheers

    Great video Sam. I made the mistake of watching this before breakfast. I need one of those pineapple buns. I've recently discovered a channel called Japan Guide and spotted a familiar face on some of the videos.
