Wait, so he can speak some Cantonese, but opts for a fork to eat soup noodles instead of chopsticks? Lol.
It's too expensive to eat at Happy Valley, I won't go there to eat.
Hongkong cafe best is because we grow up with it … the taste, the feeling in the cafe…etc… foreigners best is not as the same as what we feel, I guess.
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.
Thank you for introducing of so many kinds of Hong Kong food. I discovered and saw many videos not long time before. That’s very great and interesting.😊👍🏻😊
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.
Just came across your channel and I enjoyed it so much.I miss Hong Kong for its food, shopping and night markets. My go to destination and stop over every year until the travel restrictions the last few years.Thank you for sharing your videos.
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 😉
Awesome video!! Thanks for sharing!
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..

Sam, how similar are pineapple buns and melon pan? They sound like the same thing. Great vid as always!
Dear Sam… You hit one of the Best Cha Chaan Tan in HK.. 👍✌️💪.
Can't wait till 2pm to recall the long lost memory of fresh baked pineapple butter bun, pipping hot egg tart at Cheung Hing.. 😋😋👍
You must try them too next time..
Never fail.. ✌️✌️
Another great video. Well done, mate!
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
An excellent video!Thanks Sam. Looks like a very stylish place definitely on my bucket list!!!Looking forward to the next vid👍
Pineapple buns are my favourite, esp freshly made ones with sliced butter. You've to eat it before the butter melt. The sensation of both hot & cold, crispy & smooth at the same time is just heavenly🤤
Recently discovered a new(?) cha chaan teng called Hong Kong Choi, not too far from your home hood Sam – one day I'll take you there 😎
Hi Sam, has been awhile. Good to see your video again!! Yum Yum :p
Thank you for your detailed explanation on 2 types of Hong Kong style tea. Really appreciate your work 💪👍
It’s called CHAA CHAN TENG!!
Hello, I'm a HK people. Nice to meet you !
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.
