in our last video you saw us fly from Bangkok to Hong Kong and we showed you the
process of how it was like to enter Hong Kong but today we want to show you what
Hong Kong is like now and the best place to do that is in the busy area of mong kok
so mong kok has always been known for shopping like there's clothes everywhere
there's electronics everywhere you can see that it's kind of a mix between like
office buildings malls and residentials like there's local people who live up in
these high-rises and is it known for like sneakers too yeah two streets beside us on
the right that whole street is called sneaker street it's slightly cheaper but I'm not sure
why it's cheaper I think they're real but I'm not a hundred percent yeah because
the way they set them up they don't look real yeah we can go take a look later too
so we just crossed over to another street this street
is called Woman Street and it was really popular before because this is where you would get a
lot of souvenirs and cheap knockoff stuff but this is so different from what it used to be
it pretty much looks quite empty this reminds me of the Thai Night Bazaar yeah selling like
knickknacks and kind of useless stuff cheap stuff I mean oh look at this look at these slippers
these are cute or should I get a backpack this one's not quite waterproof though for our hiking
can even get Louis Vuitton bag Gucci backpack at least they spelled it
correctly in Thailand most of the time they spell it differently like Gucci is Cucci they switch the letters
this is quite nice we like to go camping this would be perfect can I try them on can you ask him
there's a couple styles he said
yeah this would be perfect for camping isn't it how much is it
180 dollars oh this one is cheaper oh but this is heavy material what is this though
oh ventilation
180
120?
too low?
160
150
1 5 0
160 what do you think it can be handy right yeah it'll come in handy okay thank you
can you pay for me I'll pay for you why are they uh packing up all of a sudden
thank you thank you thank you what happened he's just they're they're just moving things
back because their stall sticks out a bit too much so it's not legal so he's quickly moving the things back
a little bit but he's allowed to sell here he's allowed to sell I think it's just you cannot
extend your shop too much oh because the policemen are patrolling the street right now everyone's
kind of moving you know what life is life is tough like it's been tough for lots of people to make a
living during the last two years so yeah I feel good making a purchase thank you you're welcome
We should get this
Mammy Pancake is this place famous yeah it's famous for the egg waffles
look at all the options yeah they have like matcha red bean they even have lemon tart
wow it's expensive though it's 36 for a matcha red bean one that's a lot prices have gone up
the packaging is so cute
why is it so fancy
maybe that's why it's so expensive it goes to the packaging wow when was the last time you had these
oh I think it's gonna be so good
it's matcha egg waffle with red beans inside look at how chewy it is inside and you get like
these whole red beans but the outside they make it so crispy that is a really good egg waffle I think
they won the Michelin Guide oh yeah street food guide so make sure when you come to Hong Kong give Mammy Pancake

now let's get back to the video so a one minute walk from the mammy pancake place we
are already at the sneaker street so there are some actual shops like the Nike and the Adidas
shops here but then you also have really local shoe shops that carry multiple brands
nine hundred dollars
that's like 150 USD is that around the real retail price yeah
they're legit though right I think so I really I think they are
like they're not cheap but somehow they wrap it in a way that they don't look real if you want the
shoe they'll just bring you the one to try from behind maybe this is to protect from dust and stuff
like to display yeah is there anything you want to eat something local something Chinese okay
on the left
over here where over here
so this is what you want to eat right rice in clay pot this place is making a lot
over here as you can see it must be really good we should go try it let's do it
we almost forget to mention
you have to download this app called leave home safe and we have to scan this QR code before we can dine in so
this is something new right now in Hong Kong and it's for people to comply with the vaccine pass
regulations maybe one day they'll remove it but right now we still have to do it so I have to scan
all right what do we have here I'm going to have to order for us because it's all in Chinese
I didn't realize it I always thought that there was English on the menus but I think some of
the really local places are all the Chinese so you can get Chinese sausage with rice you can get
pork ribs with rice I know you like chicken so maybe I'll just choose a chicken one yes please
when i was ordering i was saying it too quick and she was writing so she's like wait a moment she's very straightforward
yeah I don't think people are trying to be rude it's just the culture here is like efficiency so
it may seem like they are yelling at you but it's it's all friendly Hong Kong lemon tea
they just put tea sugar and just lemon slices in there for you and you have to like mix with
yourself you know why though why it's quicker for them it's about efficiency true
you want to know what the man is yelling outside yeah so he's saying like
table of four come in table of two come in we have clay pot rice
we have everything you want good prices he's consistently saying different things which
is really impressive it's definitely working because it got a lot of people coming in
that looks amazing so what you have to put on the clay pot rice is a special
type of soy sauce and I think what is different with it is that it's a
bit sweeter so you put the sauce of soy sauce on top and then you mix the rice
it's steaming hot so our rice has shiitake mushrooms it has chicken and this one is
Chinese sausage as we kind of eat through it the bottom of it is going to be real crispy the rice
right on the pot is the best part we might have to fight because we both like that part though
whoa oh chicken seems so tender
so hot
it's too hot the portion size is always so big but good thing you
only order one yeah I didn't expect also the veggie to be this big
now we're at the best part of the clay pot rice which is the
crispy bottom let's see how crispy it is today
that looks yum this part is the best
i'm going to have this bite
it's so weird I don't know why every kid likes to eat this part and I feel like the restaurant
also wants you to eat this part because then they don't have to scrape the bowl
easier for them to clean
delicious
see when i was little my mom used to cook rice for us all the time and I
would always tell her to not use the rice cooker and cook in a like normal pot with
open fire instead that way it has the burnt rice at the bottom and when I was little
I always loved scraping the burnt rice at the bottom of the pot it's so good
we eat the burnt rice but we don't put like ingredients in there it's just plain burnt rice
very good good choice
so that was a 140 Hong Kong Dollars for two which is around 18 USD so it's
definitely more expensive than what we would be paying in Thailand for a meal but it's pretty
affordable considering like how expensive Hong Kong is hope you enjoyed seeing what Hong Kong
is like now stay tuned for more videos from Hong Kong as always thank you so much for watching and
Have a Wonderflo Day see you in the next one meow
