    Thanks for paying a visit to HK! I can't help but notice the McDonald's cover image of the video isn't from Hong Kong and I am quite certain it was in Mainland China. Anyways, hope you enjoyed this city!

    As Virginia said, it’s refreshing to look at our own city from a tourist’s viewpoint. Thanks for making this series of videos and having so many positive things to say about Hong Kong. One suggestion though, next time when you are having a guest, especially on a busy street, give him/her a mic. I can barely pick up anything Virginia says even though her English is supposed to be on the fluent side

      Sadly, incorrect. The basic law refers to "the Chinese language" and English, not "Cantonese" - as stated in the 1974 Official Languages Ordinance.

    The japanese Shogan burger (and their variants like with added egg etc) was that particular month's special menu item. Virginia mentioned a shrimp with pineapple item, that would be the japanese Ebi burger special menu which actually just returned to HK not long after you posted this video. The Ebi in particular is very popular as it usually cycles in around 2-3 times a year, more than any other special menu. It's also my personal favourite!

    McDonald's not only in HK all over Asia is NOT like in America. When he goes to Malaysia & Singapore, he can try out their locals national cuisines that served there like Pandan Kaya Toast & Himalayan Ice Coffee. Taiwan & Japan have their specialties also. When he comes back to HK, he can do a breakfast McDonald to compare the differences. My spouse didn't know HK McDonald don't have the sausage breakfast burrito like in California, but we got the macaroni soup. The last time I ever had any fried chicken in U.S. McDonald was mighty wings I think is way before 2000. He should tried Jollibee in HK as well when he return. My spouse is Filipino, she and her family stated the Fried Chicken Meals of Jollibee in HK & Macao are better than in Philippine & U.S. Overall McDonald & 7-Eleven in America may probably never going to step up their game. The reason why there are so much favorable varieties in Asia because is usually based on the majority population and its locals there. If America is introduce with those foods, it always depend if there enough people to enjoy and how long would it last before they'll have to remove from its menu.

    Hong Kong food was cheap and delicious back in the time, but now the inflation is crazy...so the price raised quite a bit...if you come to Hong Kong few Years ago, maybe you could find the price was 10-20% cheaper, or even cheaper than that...Like the noodle I eat near my home was something like 20 HKD before, but now is 28 HKD, just in a few years man...The pandemic certainly have a huge impact to the price, I mean over the world is quite the same...
