Hi guys, so sorry this one took so long to post. Unfortunately after a fierce battle with cancer, Alan’s dad passed away. This happened shortly after we finished filming this. We’re still traveling & making videos, but took some much needed time to heal and focus on other things in life. ❤ Thanks for understanding and we hope you enjoyed it. Let’s us know if there is anything we missed that you would add. 😊
Thank you for visiting Hong Kong. Being one the the locally born hongkongers, we owe you two a ‘real’ hot crispy pineapple buns with slice of cold butter, and a traditional dim sum restaurant (茶樓） experience ❤️
high quality vlog, very underrated channel. As a local Hongkonger, thanks for giving HK it's spotlight given the circumstances there. Hope you guys are recovering well.
Thank you so much, this is basically the best compliment a youtuber can receive so it means a lot! We had a great time in Hong Kong and hope to visit again sometime! Also thank you, we are doing a lot better.
Thank you for the positive feedback about your trip to Hong Kong! I'm glad to hear that you had a great experience. As a local, I look forward to bringing both of you to try the traditional egg tart and pineapple bun on your next visit to Hong Kong. DC
@@IfWeGoTo Thanks! 😊 I've only traveled around the Philippines so far, but I'm planning my first trip outside the country to Hong Kong before the end of the year! So excited! ✈
Thank you so much for visiting Hong Kong. I live just right next to harbour grand, and I know there very much. When you try your pineapple bun, that store isn’t the most popular one, if u guys walk 5 more meters to yr right, that store sells the best pineapple bun in the world
This is amazing and so thorough! We can’t wait til we get ourselves there, and we’ll def’ be referencing this. Gotta love those little detours , too - they’re always so worth it.
Oh, also, there are 2 kinds of egg tarts in Hong Kong. There is the cookie like crust and also a more flakey like crust. The flakey like crust is more closer resemblance to the one from Macau and my favourite. Each bakery is also different in their recipe by a little so I like to try lots and lots. The Pineapple bun you bought is definitely not the one people are referring it. It's normally round for a start, and you can get it at the place where you got your Hong Kong breakfast, and it will come with a thick piece of butter in the middle.
Thank you very much for your insight and tips!! I’m excited to try the different egg tarts the next time we visit!! And yes that pineapple bun was so different!! Idk why!
@@IfWeGoTo So the original egg tart were invented by monks in Belém at Lisbon, if you go there, the queue to take out is HUGE, but you can sit inside and there are a lot of space and there is often no queue. The egg tart in Macau resembles of those in Portugual, being a formal colony. The famous one is made by an English guy and his wife. They got divorce and she opened a store too and then sold the recipe to KFC....if you had gone to KFC in Hong Kong (and Taiwan). You can get those egg tarts. It seems weird that KFC in Hong Kong has AMAZING egg tarts.
The “pineapple” bun must have been sold out that morning. If you try other CHAR CHAANG TENG, and go there much earlier, you’ll get to order your “pineapple” bun 🤤🤤🤤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great seeing a video from you two! Amazing video and great narration and editing. So sorry to hear about Alan’s dad passing. Glad you guys took some time for yourselves. Normally Brandi you handle the heat very well but you looked increasingly hot and dying through the day in some of the shots! 😂😂
Thank you so much!! It's good to be back on here, even if at a lower capacity. We also really appreciate your sympathies - it has been a hard patch of life, but time has helped. ❤ Hahaha some of those hikes definitely got me... 😂
The KOWLOON WALL CITY was not only a place of crime, drugs, prostitution…, it was also a home for many people back then as well as schools, barber 💈 shops, grocery stores, etc …. It was historic 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻I have never been in it. 😁
@@markshen3280 thanks for clearing up* that it was truly a space for peoples homes and a functional city!! We did mentions bakeries, restaurants, and that people fondly remember it, but we should have made that part of it more clear! It’s too bad it wasn’t able to be maintained in some way, it seems so interesting!
Thank you so much for visiting us, as locally born as Hongkongers I really recommend u to eat the delicious pineapple buns from that 1 restaurant red tea I eat it every Sunday and its is absolutely delicious.thank u again btw❤
Thanks you guys so much for this new remarkable video to heads Hong Kong this week in great joy to tours many amazing places on the streets in peace 2024❤❤❤Alan, please have my sympathy or condolences for your Dad to passed away in 2024❤❤❤

The pineapple bun is usually a round one with crunchy topping, instead of a stick-like one you ate. The best place to taste it should be at a Hong Kong style restaurant, with a piece of cold butter embedded in a warm bun, better still with a cup of milk tea.
Amazing video. Btw, the Red Incense Burner Summit on Braemar Hill is named for its rocky, reddish terrain, which resembles a traditional Chinese incense burner. Now you know!
Hey, just came across your video. Welcome to Hong Kong! Can't believe you guys missed the tram haha!! It's like missing the one in San Fran!! If hiking is your thing, next time please try the hiking trails to to Shek O beach or to Long Ke Wan, where you can enjoy some of the nicest beaches in Hong Kong after the hikes. Try look these beaches up on Google! Those two are quite popular for those outdoor people visiting Hong Kong for the first time. Anyway, hope you guys enjoyed the trip and thanks for your video :)
Thank you!! Ugh I know!! We really missed out on that one - guess that means we just have an extra thing to look forward to when we make it back. :) Thank you for your tips!! We would love to check out some of the beaches there too! We loved Hong Kong, thank you for watching and taking the time to share those spots with us! :)
Welcome to Hong Kong, China this week to tours many amazing places on the streets in great joy November of 2024❤❤❤I wish you guys the Best wishes always in peace 2024❤❤❤
You know …. When the idea of constructing the Lantau Cable Car System, the HK Government back then had to import mules from South America to haul all the equipment up because they are strong to carry all the equipment 😁
A local Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR breakfast at any CHAR CHAANG TENG is the “pineapple” bun with lots of butter 🧈 in it and drink with a mixture of milk-tea coffee that is sweet and creamy 😋😋😋
next time , recommend you may stay at Admiralty, Causeway Bay. Those are wonderful district for stay. Mongkok is too local even I won’t go there in person. Hong Kong Island side is present Hong Kong, Kolwoon side most likely target the PRC guest business .
Thanks you guys so much to heads Hong Kong, China to visits many amazing places on the streets including Disneyland & other attractions in Asia November of 2024❤❤❤
It was a shame as well as good news that the WALL CITY was torn apart and replaced with new buildings. If it was restored for public to see it as an outdoor museum, it would have attracted lots of tourists as well as locals who wished to know more about this place.
Agreed! The construction style did sound a bit dicey and like it may not last a very long time BUT I completely agree, if they had restored it or made a replica of sorts I think it would be wildly popular with tourists! I saw they had built a small one in Japan as an arcade, it looked pretty interesting, but it closed down a few years ago.
Your next trip outside of Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR should be China 🇨🇳 (Shanghai, Beijing, Guang Dong, Shenzhen). A must for all travelers. Many American 🇺🇸 travelers who went to China 🇨🇳 were WOW-ed by what they saw 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
MacLehose Trail, one of four named long-distance hiking trails in Hong Kong. It is 100 kilometre long and is named after a former Hong Kong Governor. These trails basically connect existing paths with improvements made by the government to make them safer for hiking. Bride’s Pool is probably too remote to go to for a foreign tourist. Better try any reservoirs on Hong Kong Island or adjacent to Kowloon Peninsula. They are easy to reach by public transport and easy to walk.
Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR residents who move into a new flat always hire contractors to do a complete remodel of the flat they move into so it looks better than what the previous owner had done.
Oh surely it was a remodel!! They had been doing construction for nearly 2 weeks (in hopes they would finish their project lol) before we gave up on the place lol.
Hello! Welcome!! For most of our travels we keep United States working hours, so a rather strange schedule in most of the world!! We would wake up at around 8-9pm so we got to see it at night as well! Although by the time we made it out most stuff seemed closed for the night!
Good call to go to Angus Cafe. Where are you staying in originally that is having the interior construction? And I am very sorry for the passing of Alan's dad.
Angus cafe was our favorite breakfast spot! We were staying in Mong Kok originally, just an airbnb, we did a quick tour of it in our first video, but it was a pretty non-descript spot. Nothing fancy, but we liked it until the nonstop noise!! Also thank you, we appreciate that, it means a lot!
Sorry we missed the explanation part on that!! We usually keep USA hours, so we have to keep an unusual schedule! (A side note that the people doing construction were truly doing it all day and night, not just in our schedule!! If it was during normal living hours we would have sucked it up!)
I miss Hong Kong, last time was 2018. Always have had a good time. Know this city better than NY or Boston. Was the safest I felt in any city, unsure what it is like now since ______^.
The bun that Alan ate was not a pineapple bun. Pineapple bun is round-shaped with a top crust that looks like the outer shell of pineapple. Besides, recommended to try the egg tarts from Kee Wah Bakery in Wanchai. It was the best egg tart I had among egg tarts I got from other bakeries in my recent trip to my home city there.
I am sorry for what you encountered in Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, if there is construction noise between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. on normal days or at any time on a general holiday, you may ask the police for help. Anyways, hotels are VERY STRONGLY recommended for tourists to Hong Kong for many reasons, and hotels will deal with the unacceptable noises for you. Next time, you may consider coming to Hong Kong around November, to avoid rain, fog, hotness and typhoons. Hong Kong is humid and hot in summer, easy to heat stroke. Hope the unlucky experiences did not wipe out the good sides of Hong Kong!
Thank you so much for your tips!! We agree, it is far better to do hotels!! And don’t worry, they definitely did not ruin our time there! We had a hard a rough start of course, but we absolutely loved Hong Kong! Can’t wait to visit again! 🥰
There's typhoon even in November or December, good sides of HK? Not sure about that, most HK citizens dont spend in HK, they just go to spend in Japan and other places. I believe most tourists will only visit HK once in their lifetime and never return if they find out that other places are way cheaper and much higher quality at the same time. If you can understand a little cantonese, you will hear HK citizens talking about going to Japan all the time everywhere you go, how much they spend there and how many people go there every month are all on the local news and tourism statistics.
Hotel prices were pretty high, but less than or comparable to many major North American and European cities. The hotel actually was the same price as our previous airbnb because they do a great long stay discount! We just made the cut off for it the day we moved! Plus the long stays seem to get placed on the higher club floors if there’s availability! 😊
@@Whattheuk always the equivalent of about 9am USA east coast time, so when this was filmed about 10pm Hong Kong time is when we would wake up. 😭💀 Can’t say doing that is fun, but we’d rather get to see these places some than not at all!
I recommend you can book the youth Hotel such as Mei Ho, YMCA and and so on, you eat the noodle is not Hong Kong noodle style. That is main land China food. You can try traditional dim sum restaurant that has many carts walk around to showing different dim sum. You ate dim sum restaurant is modern style but the food is also so yummy. Finally, I want tell you Hong Kong has many natural view that our government and Kol that do not show.
Oh yes, we wanted to try region mainland Chinese cuisine too! We did love the HK style noodles though, they were in our first video!! Next time we will have to ask you guys for all of your recommendations on the best spots!! It’s a shame the natural side of high Kong isn’t shown more, it’s so beautiful!!
Oh gosh, yes!! We stick to USA hours, so I think in Hong Kong we were waking up at 9-10pm (not am, pm!!) and going to bed by 1-2pm or so!! It was rough!! Even rougher when our neighbor decided to start construction throughout the entire day and night.. I don't think those people slept at all lol. We couldn't even nap!! lol.
@@IfWeGoTo I'm not sure. Like you say, it's just some bun you can put stuff in. I suspect because most people know what they're getting anyway, the bakery just didn't bother with the labels after shifting the trays
We didn’t want to make a huge fuss, but we probably should have. 11pm, 1am, 3am, 7am, 10am… so on and so forth… I’m not sure those people ever slept? 🤣
The Walled City was self-ruled as a way of not being under the persecution of the British. Crime entered the City when British opium became out of control.
@IfWeGoTo they initially paid for the tea, silk and pottery with gold and silver. They became greedy and forced the locals to "trade" in the exchange of drugs. They shipped the opium over from India under their own East Indian Company. The history is fascinating and sad at the same time. However, not many people care about the past.
@@jstussyer hahaha well we are very lucky that we have a pretty flexible budget and enough saved for scenarios like this! 😆 BUT we got even more lucky that when I asked the airbnb host very nicely for a refund on the nights we didn’t use, they happily agreed. Plus the hotel and airbnb were basically the same price when you added in the hotels generous long stay discount, which we just made the cutoff for! I think all said and done it was about $100 USD out of pocket. Not too bad!
Expensive of living cost in Hong Kong, if travellers come , hotel is a better choice 😅. Transport is excellent for everyone although somethimes many people
You're doing a fantastic job! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
We usually prefer them because they tend to be quieter (listening to other guests slam their doors and talk in the hallways is super annoying!! lol)... but not this time!!

@@IfWeGoTo The portugese egg tart is still #1 !
I haven’t been to Portugal yet!!
@@IfWeGoTo So the original egg tart were invented by monks in Belém at Lisbon, if you go there, the queue to take out is HUGE, but you can sit inside and there are a lot of space and there is often no queue.
The egg tart in Macau resembles of those in Portugual, being a formal colony. The famous one is made by an English guy and his wife.

下次我们还会去的，谢谢您的建议！！ :)
The dim sum you guys had doesn't seem very typical (it looks creative though). Suggest you go to a typical Cantonese restaurant for dim sum next time.
It was definitely non traditional! Next time we want to try a more local spot! Do you have a favorite?
When you return to Hong Kong, go to Victoria peak at night time
That’s a great idea!! Thank you!!
Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Donnie Yen, Sammo Hung, and Wu Jing are all Chinese action movie stars. Do you know them?
A few of them yes!!
I am sorry for what you encountered in Hong Kong.
In Hong Kong, if there is construction noise between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. on normal days or at any time on a general holiday, you may ask the police for help. Anyways, hotels are VERY STRONGLY recommended for tourists to Hong Kong for many reasons, and hotels will deal with the unacceptable noises for you.
Next time, you may consider coming to Hong Kong around November, to avoid rain, fog, hotness and typhoons. Hong Kong is humid and hot in summer, easy to heat stroke.
Hope the unlucky experiences did not wipe out the good sides of Hong Kong!
Thank you so much for your tips!! We agree, it is far better to do hotels!!
And don’t worry, they definitely did not ruin our time there! We had a hard a rough start of course, but we absolutely loved Hong Kong! Can’t wait to visit again! 🥰
There's typhoon even in November or December, good sides of HK? Not sure about that, most HK citizens dont spend in HK, they just go to spend in Japan and other places. I believe most tourists will only visit HK once in their lifetime and never return if they find out that other places are way cheaper and much higher quality at the same time. If you can understand a little cantonese, you will hear HK citizens talking about going to Japan all the time everywhere you go, how much they spend there and how many people go there every month are all on the local news and tourism statistics.
I love HK! How does hotel expense compare to other major cities?
Though that is quite luxurious hotel!
Hotel prices were pretty high, but less than or comparable to many major North American and European cities.
The hotel actually was the same price as our previous airbnb because they do a great long stay discount! We just made the cut off for it the day we moved!
Plus the long stays seem to get placed on the higher club floors if there’s availability! 😊
very high. If you go to mainland China I find them reasonable priced
Welcome to hk
Thank you!!!
😄😄😄😄Thanks for visiting HKSAR
Thanks for welcoming us!
What time do you guys wake up???
@@Whattheuk always the equivalent of about 9am USA east coast time, so when this was filmed about 10pm Hong Kong time is when we would wake up. 😭💀
Can’t say doing that is fun, but we’d rather get to see these places some than not at all!
I recommend you can book the youth Hotel such as Mei Ho, YMCA and and so on, you eat the noodle is not Hong Kong noodle style. That is main land China food. You can try traditional dim sum restaurant that has many carts walk around to showing different dim sum. You ate dim sum restaurant is modern style but the food is also so yummy.
Finally, I want tell you Hong Kong has many natural view that our government and Kol that do not show.
Oh yes, we wanted to try region mainland Chinese cuisine too! We did love the HK style noodles though, they were in our first video!!
Next time we will have to ask you guys for all of your recommendations on the best spots!!
It’s a shame the natural side of high Kong isn’t shown more, it’s so beautiful!!
＊Tai Mo Shan is the highest mountain in Hong Kong.
Oops! We must have read some wrong info! Thank you!
It’s called a “pineapple” bun because it looks one. Pineapple 🍍
They are so cute!
U guys wake up so early 😂😂
Oh gosh, yes!! We stick to USA hours, so I think in Hong Kong we were waking up at 9-10pm (not am, pm!!) and going to bed by 1-2pm or so!! It was rough!!
Even rougher when our neighbor decided to start construction throughout the entire day and night.. I don't think those people slept at all lol. We couldn't even nap!! lol.
That's not a pinapple bun. The pinapple bun is the ones on the bottom left 16:10
It said it was... we were so disappointed!! Do you know what we got actually is?
@@IfWeGoTo I'm not sure. Like you say, it's just some bun you can put stuff in. I suspect because most people know what they're getting anyway, the bakery just didn't bother with the labels after shifting the trays
@@NelsonChan Ohh that makes perfect sense hahaha. Oh well! We did not film it, but we did find an AMAZING pineapple bun spot in Mong Kok!
As a Hong Kong person, i would say Hong Kong people dont go to Wong Tai Sin at all. If you dont have much time, i would highly recommend skip it.
Thank you for your tips!!
You can call the police if the construction continues after 7pm
It is illegal to make noise from 11pm to 7am. You can call the police.
We didn’t want to make a huge fuss, but we probably should have. 11pm, 1am, 3am, 7am, 10am… so on and so forth… I’m not sure those people ever slept? 🤣
The Walled City was self-ruled as a way of not being under the persecution of the British. Crime entered the City when British opium became out of control.
That makes sense!! It seems like the British really had a lot of influence over Hong Kong with their tea/opium troubles 😩
@IfWeGoTo they initially paid for the tea, silk and pottery with gold and silver. They became greedy and forced the locals to "trade" in the exchange of drugs. They shipped the opium over from India under their own East Indian Company. The history is fascinating and sad at the same time. However, not many people care about the past.
never watched a video of the traveler transfer from BNB to a 5 star hotel . Guess you used up the budget for your next trip? 🤣
@@jstussyer hahaha well we are very lucky that we have a pretty flexible budget and enough saved for scenarios like this! 😆
BUT we got even more lucky that when I asked the airbnb host very nicely for a refund on the nights we didn’t use, they happily agreed. Plus the hotel and airbnb were basically the same price when you added in the hotels generous long stay discount, which we just made the cutoff for!
I think all said and done it was about $100 USD out of pocket. Not too bad!
希望你们来。北京。上海。深圳。杭州。苏州。来领略他的美
We will!! Thank you! :)
There are so many western hotels in Hk, like Holiday Inn. Should stay there instead.
We liked where we stayed!!
Holiday inn is a different class of hotel though.
Harbour Grand competes with brands like Grand Hyatt, Four Seasons and Ritz Carlton.
welcome to china
Thank you!
🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰
Haha I knew you’d be here!! Hope you’re enjoying Japan!!!
@@IfWeGoTo hehe thank you 🙏🇯🇵🙏
Construction work only 9-6 on weekday only under the law u should call the police
Yeah we probably should have!! This person was at it literally all day and night… I don’t think they slept 🤣
that's why snooker GOAT moves to Hong Kong, but you have to be very rich first in order to be a migrant here.
What is a snooker GOAT?
@@IfWeGoTo Snooker Greatest of All Time - Ronnie O'Sullivan obtained his residency in Hong Kong !
Expensive of living cost in Hong Kong, if travellers come , hotel is a better choice 😅. Transport is excellent for everyone although somethimes many people
Agreed!!!
Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China.
🇭🇰🇨🇳
bucket list用遺願翻譯是錯誤的，用心願較正確吧。
哦，谷歌自动将标题从英文翻译过来。那么“愿望清单”IT 部门会是中文吗？
@IfWeGoTo 願望清單是可以的。
遺願英文是「will」，somebody's will before he die.
註：歡迎再來吃和玩。🫡
@@唐賓佐 我意识到谷歌在翻译英文和中文方面做得很差！“遗愿清单”翻译得这么差真是太糟糕了，因为我的整个视频都是围绕这个想法制作的！哈哈哈。
谢谢你！
@IfWeGoTo 您好。整個制作翻譯也不錯就「遺願」出現嚴重誤差，令人側目而已。
努力。加油。🫡
You're doing a fantastic job! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
No clue how, sorry!!
AIRBNB is also terrible for cities anyways.
We usually prefer them because they tend to be quieter (listening to other guests slam their doors and talk in the hallways is super annoying!! lol)... but not this time!!
