Yes… she needs to be on your channel more… she provides a lot of excellent information - perfect!!! AND yes, the secret is to have a lot of people at dinner to be able to order more dishes…. And to have a bigger table…one time the waiter refused to accept my order because the table for two did not accommodate the number of dishes…. :-)
Agree, she is very informational and fluent in English. Like to see her on your channel again. 😃👍
No.
YES YES YES ❤❤❤YES YES YES
❤
I love Viv’s energy!!! Yes, have her on your channel more often.
Shea got big bick energy
how dare you. team Jasmine! :D
Viv is a really good guest!! She should be in the channel more often, I loved her energy!!
I found it’s very funny that Amy kept speaking Putonghua to the chef and he kept replying in Cantonese 😂 and Viv’s Aussie accent is stronger than Amy’s 😂 Viv is good looking and fun. Wok hei is very crucial in Cantonese cuisine.
Hong Kong people are not good at speaking putonghua. That’s why.
My friend Mike lives in the Appalachian mountains in West North Carolina. He can only speak a Southern Accent, pungent in my opinion. When someone speaks Queens English to him, he can understand but he will respond with his Southern Accent.
To be what I’m understanding is that with that high temp of cooking allows the food to cook fully meanwhile retain the moisture level within the food which makes the Wok Hei so important
@@EuroTravChannel yeah but cantonese and mandarin aren't mutually intelligible. So a better comparison would be closer to spanish and french
@@icodestuff6241 I learned both Cantonese and Mandarin. Then I went to Shanghai, I understood zero what the locals were talking about. Then I spent 2 years and learned Shanghai dialect. Then I went to Nanjing nearby, the locals spoke in a way similar to Shanghai, but I still understood zero. I imagine Yangzhou would speak something understandable. No, I understood zero. Then I went to Wenzhou, oh my world, they spoke a strange dialect that I was back to zero again. That is why, everyone learns Putonghua or Guoyu.
Black bean dace a very dearly loved food for many chinese families starting from childhood..my favourite congee food!
Still remember as a child when the family don't cook for the day we grab this can serve with rice to fill our tummy. The plain rice and this goes well together, yes congee too.
I was introduced when I was a child because my step mother was Chinese. In fact was trying to buy it today but lucked out.
Viv know her food not to mention she is so dashing too!
Viv is the best cost-host in your show! Would love to see her more in your channel.
Jasmine is my fav
Does Viv have a YT or TikTok? She’s a delight, I’d love to see more of her!
You two vibe off each other so well, great friendship chemistry!
Black bean dace is also commonly used to stir fry with green veggies 🥬. In my family, we pour the oil from the dace and stir fry some garlic in the oil, then put the veggie in, and finally break the dace up and stir fry it with everything else. It takes the veggie dish to another level
Viv is a delight! Love her eclectic style! Hopefully more HK content with Viv!
Yesyesyes!
Viv’s cool vibes definitely need to be on your channel more often. You both are perfect combination. 😂
I love Viv's energy so much!! you two should go on more food adventures together, you bounce off each other so well
I burst out laughing at the “dace is real??” part 😂 also Vivi is so nice (and cool!) wish to see more of her in the future
Viv is a gem.
Ive been binge watching this channel for quite some time and I just wanted to comment that I really enjoy blondies ethos when it comes to eating food. No matter where she is she eat with such joy and like unpretentiousness. One of my fav clips of blondie is her squatting on a river bank in yunnan province eating food with her hands. Im going to china next year to study abroad and ive been warned to only stay within like the central city and my campus, basically a more sanitised version of china, but your food adventures have made me super excited to really visit the country.
Viv gives Anita Yuen vibes! 🤩
We definitely need to see more of Viv! Watching her feels like watching our own friend. 😊 Please have her for the rest of your Hong Kong food adventures, if schedules allow!
The black beans from the black bean sauce is made by fermenting and salting black soybeans. The black type soybean is most commonly used and the process turns the beans soft, and mostly semi-dry.
My husband is from Guangzhou, as soon as black bean dace was mentioned ‘in the oval tin’ was my first thought….and there you are showing what is in my pantry right now! He usually has it with rice, sometimes with quick noodles - like us having a tuna sandwich! New subscriber, loving your channel and enthusiasm, xx
Bring Viv back as many times as she wants to, love her energy.❤
Viv’s super nice and full of energy, as we all can tell, guess she is the sunshine girl to her people around.
Viv is very knowledgeable and kind. Love her energy.
Only Amy can make such a fun and energetic video about food in Hong Kong! Love it!! 👍👍
Wow Viv's amazing! I knew I would be so nervous to be in a video for the first time but her energy is so calm and authentic! And she had so much knowledge to offer. Would love to see more of her!!
Such a fun video! So glad you were able to try so many dishes, what a great experience!
Thank you for working so hard to share these videos!
P.S. I am a little bit in love with Viv!! 🥰
Viv is amazing!!! Please invite her back! Best co-host so far! You should do a travel series together or something
Dang!! ... Janice Fung mentioned the Black Bean Dace a little while ago ... and it went on my "must try" list ... now with you two recommending it ... I actually went browsing for it locally ... bonus!!! Woollies has it!
dongbei pattern part is gem
Mouthwatering content as always ❤
Your energy and knowledge plus Viv's are a treat, please have her more often on camera with you 😊
We love Viv!!! And this whole series! ❤❤
Love the bum bag❤
She definitely reminds me of the Aussie minister of foreign affairs, her excellency, Penny Wong.
The fired dace fish always goes together with rice porridge. The porridge must be very watery. In Malaysia the local always goes with it.
i just got home from Hong Kong a few days ago, had a dai pai dong in Mong Kok, and because I was by myself a table of gentlemen forced me to join and wow what an honor I had so many seafood dishes I wouldn't have thought to get. I hope I'll be back soon
you have such awesome friends! great video!
She got that David Bowie vibe and that is Fabulous !!!!
Your videos are boosters for my ambition to go to china one day. Thanks a lot❤
Viv is knowledgeable and confident. Sort of like a female version of Garen 😀
Great video Amy and Viv. The food looks so delicious! 🤤
Ahhhh I love Viv! So fun and informative
I grew up eating black bean dace!!! And had zero idea it was dace... for me it was just common canned fish. It's great getting to see HK food again, I miss it so much.
I just found your content and I'm glad I did! Thanks for taking me to China with you 🙃
Yeah, definitely want to see Viv more,that was awesome!
I love that group of friends!

Viv 很帅 😍 please have her more often! And thank you so much for this ep! Dai pai dong is one of my biggest reason HK is on my to-go list!

Try mixing rice, canned black bean dace with spicy chilli oil/sauce. You can also have it with porridge. Yummm. Love from Borneo Island
I don’t even know how I’d cook without a wok!!
Love your adventures. It’s like a visit from an old and dear friend!!
Actually drooling over that razor clam dish. Wow - that must have tasted amazing!

The canned dace is a Chinese household staple! Growing up I had so many of those when we needed a quick fix.

Loved meeting Viv! Great video :)
Viv is great in this vid!
Love Viv! Wayyy better episode than the previous youtubers
Uh oh. Your lesbian and bi audience now has a crush on Viv
All my favourite! You make me wanna go for a DainPai Dong immediately at the mid night.
Yes, more Viv please.
Also, I had to ask my Son if there was really a fish called zebra turkey fish and he said yes, it's real. I learned something new from Animal Crossing New Horizons 😂
Great episode, 🤤 bucket was at hand.
11:12 除了配白饭，也可以炒油麦菜～～～
Omg I love this one so much!!!
Omg the hand bus tapper is so cool
I miss HK and Australia so much.. I hope there's a heap more HK content in the pipeline!
Thank you guys
I saw pink dolphin on one of those boat trips a few years back before the construction of the HKMZ bridge, they were actually quite curious and played around the boat we were in.
Good video mate
A bunch of amazing food art! 🤤🤤🤤
The Kitchen is so clean.
razor clams - wow we live and learn - great video!
I’m going to HK next week thanks for the suggestion of what to eat at dai pai dong!
I want to use this as a good example to show Chinese language.
In Hanzi (Kanji) simplified 大 排 档
In Hanzi (Kanji) traditional 大 排 檔
In mainland Chinese pinyin da pai dang
In Cantonese yuepin daai paai dong
In Taiwan weituoma ta p'ai tang
In Japanese kanji 屋 台
That egg puffy pastry (Sai Yong) you had in Tai O was my mother's fave. It's similar in taste to the honey cruller doughnut here in Canada!
*真的很棒，这里的美食看的我都流口水了。❤️*
The owner described it perfectly. Wok hei is difficult to replicate at home due to the gas power/BTUs.
Yes, you can only have it at restaurant like these where they have the set up for it. Is a combination of equipment and skill to cook in order to achieve the heat to bring out the food favour.
Try the fried dace with porridge. You will love it.
I love Viv!!
Oh, I love the canned black bean dace! Reminds me of my childhood. You cracked me up when you said you didn’t realize dace is a real fish! I’ve caught many on ACNH, too! 😂 All of the food at that restaurant had my mouth watering. Yum.
Same here, mum sometimes resort including a can of black bean dace when she wasn't in the mood to cook. After seeing this will get one next time at the Asian grocery
black bean dace... you can boil egg noodle, drain it then pour the oil in the can with black beans and mix it... crush the fish and mixing it in as well to make a very delish lo mein
Wow, that's some table! BTW black bean dace goes well with instant noodles if you crave something in the middle of the night.
Tq. For the Famous Brand Dace Fish. .....Is hard to get the most famous tradition Can Dace is the Pearl River Bridge ⭐💯. .......Greatly Adore
YESSS we all love Vivi!
Yes! We love Viv!
The second you started talking about black bean dace, I pictured that yellow labeled can in my mind and the you cut to it.
Omg I LOVE fried dace! Traditionally have it with rice or plain congee 😍😍😍
Great video! Love your ‘cup noodle’ T-shirt and Mickey’ s holder, both can be bought in HK circle K?
yassss we love Viv she is amazing 😻
Amy did have dace before and not just in Animal Crossing lol, but at the Australian place where she had roasted goose. There was that dish with stuffed dace!
Hi Amy good job for another amazing video! Just wanted to point out a small dining cultural difference from the north and south, that is in Cantonese culture (at least from the culture I grew up with)we don’t put food in that plate lol we usually have them in our bowl. That plate is called 骨碟 which is for bones (from fish or chicken) and other food waste. In some restaurants, servers will even replace the plate with a new and clean one if they see it is full:) not a biggie but I think that would be something interesting to know :)
Oooh I've seen that dace can before, now I gotta try it!
Love the cool androgynous vibe Viv rocks. She easy on the eyes too. Your energies compliment each other well. and Fired Dace and rice is a guilty pleasure, i zap mine for 30 secs MAX.
Circle K is a convenience store chain in the US! Apparently they also have locations in Canada, Europe and Hong Kong. And digging for razor clams is a common family activity up here in Oregon! Although they do occasionally have to close down the recreational clamdigging for health reasons when there are high amounts of biotoxins in the algae.
Love all your adventures and your great vids, but had to comment this time because Viv is a cutie! Definitely bring her back again! 😉
Yes more Viv please!
豆豉鱼，童年的味道啊！已有好多年没吃了。
Black bean dace taste better when its warm. I discovered it a few years ago. It's really good when you cook it with rice in a rice cooker. It's not some culinary experience but it's hearty and has a ton of msg.
