From what I understand, HK stopped issuing licenses for street food/carts and the ones that are left are the ones that are grandfathered in and once they give up the license, they will never be gotten again. I think that is why a lot of the used-to-be street food are now done in tiny stores and malls to kind of reflect that change.
The carts were unlicensed street vendors and when I was little you will sometimes see them running away from the cops. The license places are dai pai dongs (big license shops) which are the ones dying out as you say because you can’t pass it on or get new ones. Temple street in HK used to have a fair few of these cart vendors. Prob all gone now. Hard job and young people don’t want to do it.
Welcome to Hong Kong! The mall you went to is a super local place and as a Hong Konger, I am really surprise you found this place and introduce in your video. Thanks for sharing all the great HK Street food to the people around the world in your channel and I hope more tourists to come and visit HK.
I remember how when we were kids, we would also hover over the stall after school to build our own bag of noodles. The flavour is too good to explain, garlicky, savoury and also a hint of sweetness. Fond memories indeed
My sis and I used to get off elementary school by 6 PM and had to get curry fishball skewers, non spicy from a street cart. Lady would dip skewers into the sauces. None of this tripe! 😂 Enjoy HK! Eat more 大牌档 if they're still around or 茶餐厅to save some cash money.
You have my endorsement that your trials in HK is very authentic. They are the Hong Konge style of street food. Cheap and yummy. The only drawback is the environment.
Amy my wife and I absolutely adore your videos. You were made for being in front of a CAMERA!! Please don't ever lose your passion for entertaining your audience.
@@taiwanstillisntacountrybruh, can u people stop for a second. If anything, you are not promoting how HK is part of china, you are simply just getting on people’s nerves
I'm getting second hand envy 😂 I could have been living in Hong Kong but oh no, I had to blow that opportunity offered to me. Great food adventure, Amy. Who would have thought the best Hong Kong street food comes from a mall! Cheers from 🇨🇦
I remember when I was young, I always go to visit a stall with wheels to buy a bowl of "oil" noodle with fish ball and pig skin~ and after school, I would rush out of the door where they are 6 or 7 food stalls on wheels waiting for me ! Fish ball, pig skin, friend fish meat in pepper and eggplant, soa milk and tofu "fa" , satay kewers, dragon whiskers candy, crunchy wafers wrap, egg pops (gai dan chai) and waffles with peanut butter jam and condensed milk and the lists goes on! I can have a feast with $1 dollar back in my ole ole days, LOL We just love snacks in our blood and fish ball, siu mai, fake shark's skin soup , gizzards, octopus in skewer, stinky tofu are my staple comofrt food! And the list goes on and on.......yummilicious! Makes me want to go to Fat Mamaa for some gizzards and Octopus later! Hope you enjoy to the max. The mall at Kwai Chung is sure interesting on how it turns out to be a snacks paradise but I still prefer to stand and eat on the street with sauces dripping all over!
Going to hk in a week these couple vids are rlly nice gonna try these places :D also been years that i tried those noodles in a bag and couldnt find them anymore glad to know where to go now!
New the channel and catching up on all the old videos. But I love it. It’s like visiting an old friend and it helps me relearn my Chinese which I don’t get to use very often. And I love that you actually describe the taste and not just say “it’s umami” like so many food vlogers. Love seeing your adventures! Keep it up. And wack bang is now my new catch phrase. It drives my students crazy 😂😂!
I always walked through the street in Mongkok/Yau Ma Tei (getting collectibles), where it sells a variety of local street Hong Kong cuisines, many locals and foreigners like to hangout there.
@@MamaStyles It was. This is what is called a 'soft' promo, using youtube influencers to film, under their own styles. China uses it a lot to promote stuff as its more indirect. Have a nice day. :).
Its so wonderful to see malls are still so lively over there, whereas malls in the netherlands, where I live are getting closed down more and more because of internet shopping being more popular. We also never really had that many streetfood options in malls. Unfortunately its not only the netherlands that has this happening, ive seen it all over Europe and seen multiple abandoned mall video's from the US as well and when I went to the Vancouver area in 2011, seen several malls there as well that were only still half occupied and open.😢
I’m sure there’s other reasons as well but malls are a MUST in the summer as it gets so humid in HK that you simply cannot stand being anywhere that isn’t air conditioned 😂
can't believe you ended up at kwai chung mall, i've really never seen a foreigner there and their food is incredible! great research and videeo as always :-)
I ALWAYS have Knorr chicken powder in my pantry and never reflected on why, so...this explains a lot! 😂 Another great video that gave me so much nostalgia for the food I loved eating growing up (and still do). Thanks, Amy! x
Missing HK so much! I was there over the holidays and it's definitely on my place to return. Enjoy~ go and have some local HK desserts and more egg waffles!
When I first moved to Hong Kong my good friend Raymond gave me the most incredible HK street food tour, complete with snake, tripe, doggy noodle soup... he is such a foodie, I feel like you two would get along haha
Success is not built on success. It's built on failure, it's built on frustration, it's built on fear that you have to overcome. I pray that everyone who reads this remains successful in life.
Like any run-of-the-mill casino, the vending machine always wins. Amateur mistake. But at least you were able to ease your claw-induced sorrows with a bowl of actual noodles. 🍜
for the cold skewers, theres a shop in TST called Fei Zai, and theyre michelin bib gourmand reccomended for their cold skewers - they do the same combo but instead of the processed sausage they have a pork intestine that tastes REALLY clean without any offal flavour at all! i did not expect to like it but it wasmy absolute fav
As a French, it blew my mind realizing the world "clientele" was a plural in English ! Very interesting street food adventure in HK, where Street food's no more on the street, it seems. As for the K... products, I think their formulas varies according to the country. Here in France, the types Amy shows would not be available in local supermarket though you can maybe find some in the big Asian groceries (the ones where Asian restaurants would buy their stuff). Personnaly, I would not recommend using the K.. chicken bouillon cubes from the super market for chinese cooking. great work
So cool to see swedish products reaching as far as HK (I agree, they are very good). Just a tip, the 'k' in Knorr is not silent, it's pronounced just as spelled. Knorr is an onomatopoeia for the sound a hungry stomach makes in swedish. Also, you dare to eat so many animal parts I'd struggle with, like stomack and intestine. Love your vids! ❤
I am hopefully visiting HK this summer and will for sure be visiting this mall. THank you. I suspect this place might be a short walk from the MTR and used to sell counterfeit software and dvd's back in the day.
The only wonderful thing to do in HK was visiting Lung Fung shops!!! The price is so unbelievably low!!! So I spent most of my time going to Lung Fung..
I go to Kwai Chung Plaza a lot when I lived near there. Last time I was there, I tried this place that had "Asian Burritos"... it was OK... I guess for local tastes. Not enough cheese!
Back in the day (I don't know if they still have them) I'd even get roasted chestnuts or dragon's candy? The pulled candy thing, and also the peanut mochi like snack from random street carts. When I got older I became addicted to the curry fish balls and siumai and would mix the two sauces together and eat like that, yum. And then there are the egg waffles, and, and, and... Even for a banana I felt like I ate good. Still miss the food even now that I live abroad and haven't come back for over 4 years.
And yes I had at least one Lee Kum Kee and Knorr product in the kitchen at all times growing up. I can't replicate the taste where I am now. Oh and can't forget about Campbell cans.
I had a mission trip to hang Kong 10 years ago, the guide took our mission group to try the curry fish balls . I am the only Chinese in the whole team of 15 white college students. Non of them like the fish ball. So I ate 2 cups of those’d fish ball all by myself. That’s was Funtime
7:42 mustard is everywhere in *street food* in Hong Kong, but not so much in proper restaurants :D It's occasionally used for crispy pork belly, but IIRC that's about it.
the mall you went to is the ultimate battleground of HK street food..... only those who are unique, taste good and reasonably priced will survive... it's boss fight everyday for them
Many middle-aged and elderly people in Hong Kong go to Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Huizhou for development, where consumption is low and suitable for health care.
lol that lady probably saw a foreigner and decided that she needed to feed you well. That bowl of noodles looks delightfully packed!
She wants to make sure she got a taste of everything. 😂
It was not hers. She said that she didn't try that at the end.
@@c.i.7245she was eating a bowl of noodles at the end lol
She wanted you to experience all her favourite toppings! 😊

The bagged noodles were my favorite when I was a teenager -- cheap and flavorful
It honestely looked really, really good

Knorr product, chicken essence, is originally from Germany 🇩🇪
also at least in germany you do pronounce the K. so its Knoor not noor
even the chicken?
這視頻中的家樂雞精產品應該是一個廣告，宣傳！
@@oooO-id9hm i do kinda agree
I think the company is from Germany but they make asian based products.

The Knorr product placement shot was super professional lololol
Hey, turns out you can buy the cup noodle plushie online for $15…😅

Finally Amy visited MK, a place where I have my childhood memories.

🎶All the leaves are brown ...

Girl, you are in the heaven of street food of HK! Glad you find this place!
Knorr is a staple in Mexican cuisine. You have the chicken flavor, beef, vegetable, tomato, and shrimp flavors!
Very cool, have fun!
Greatings from Sydney Amy! Been watching your videos for 3 years, and this may be the first time I get the first row sofa lol.
OMG! Amy you definitely has done your homework before visiting. Really nice video, keep it up!
When I first moved to Hong Kong my good friend Raymond gave me the most incredible HK street food tour, complete with snake, tripe, doggy noodle soup... he is such a foodie, I feel like you two would get along haha
What do you mean 'doggy noodle soup' 😂😂
Amazing dishes, textures, colors and flavors...amazing city, thank you for sharing!

Having hk food envy! Great vid 💗
You know you’re a seasoned food vlogger when you can wear white and not get your clothing dirty! 🎉🎉😂
Love the videos! Hope to return to HK soon. 😊
These are really HK authentic food where local goes. As a Hong Konger, i approved lol.
Morning, Amy!
for the cold skewers, theres a shop in TST called Fei Zai, and theyre michelin bib gourmand reccomended for their cold skewers - they do the same combo but instead of the processed sausage they have a pork intestine that tastes REALLY clean without any offal flavour at all! i did not expect to like it but it wasmy absolute fav
I suspect the yellow mustard is a hangover from when Hong Kong was a British colony
Please go to that mall again. There are so many more amazing stores there!
A few shops along your first stop in MK is another shop that does decent lamb skewers.
You really know the place as you visited Kwai Chung Mall👍
As a French, it blew my mind realizing the world "clientele" was a plural in English !
Very interesting street food adventure in HK, where Street food's no more on the street, it seems.

But Knorr was founded in Germany by a German...
Awesome ‼️💯

Take the MTR to Kwai Fong station and get out at Exit D. The mall is right across the street to your right. 葵涌廣場 Kwai Chung Plaza
Food looks great here 👌😁
The only wonderful thing to do in HK was visiting Lung Fung shops!!! The price is so unbelievably low!!! So I spent most of my time going to Lung Fung..
好久没看blondie的视频了，形象看起来成熟很多
Knorr is a staple here in french home cooking
I love that mall!! Glad you got to go there
Wow, you know Kwai Chung Plaza. It’s the place where local essences are kept.
If you like “Cup of Noodle” so much, saw this Cup of Noodle bag in Langham Place Mall in Mongkok you would love of only $149 HKD.
don't know if you've tried this already but try the pork liver congee if it's made correctly the liver is really soft and delicious
I go to Kwai Chung Plaza a lot when I lived near there. Last time I was there, I tried this place that had "Asian Burritos"... it was OK... I guess for local tastes. Not enough cheese!

I think Knorr chicken powder has slight flavour profile variations depending on the region.

5:15 The "noodles in bag" is yummy. Do try it next time. 😊
I'm sure Derk and Amy already had a conversation about the pronunciation of Knorr.
7:42 mustard is everywhere in *street food* in Hong Kong, but not so much in proper restaurants :D
It's occasionally used for crispy pork belly, but IIRC that's about it.
Interestingly it is always English hot mustards, but there are many other mustards that never made it to the common usage in HK.
hmmm... Our of curiosity, I googled Knorr's place of origin.... It's where Derk is from: Germany...
very traditional especially you go to Kwan Fung Food Court
Since there lots of places in HK I have in mind to try out the food, now I make sure I'll remember Kwai Chung Plaza for those Cart Noodles, etc.
Pomelo, YUM!
Mustard in chow mein is so good
Saw the bagged noodles on tiktok or instagram, it's quite a popular thing in hk. Mainly for students since it's real cheap
Great episode! I hope you’re speaking mandarin to some of the local folks. A lot of them understand.
A lot of them (so called " yellow-fellows") despise it also ( unfortunately) ... 😛
knorr is also a staple in mexico! 😄 it’s used pretty much in every mexican house
Wow so surprise you were in hk。i was there around the same time！！
Ask your hubby how to say Knorr, it is German 😂❤ ty for another amazing food adventure 😊
the mall you went to is the ultimate battleground of HK street food..... only those who are unique, taste good and reasonably priced will survive... it's boss fight everyday for them
这个层高太压抑了……让人想起北京的老丽都，也是香港开发商做的……😂😂 4:54
