Great to have Virginia back on the show. Sonny has some of the best co-hosts and Virginia is on of the best co-hosts Sonny works with. Always a pleasure to watch you two here in the middle of Wisconsin. 🤘🏼
I'm so glad to see Virginia back! Those older Hong Kong videos are great and so funny and informative. She's full of energy and excited. And since that video when I see fish balls I think of her everytime (and that sir making fish balls with that machine to press the fish and saying the channel isn't much. Well, sir, what about now?!). Great video! I'm curious about wonton noodles now
I love how you guys are unfiltered*for the most part*. I love seeing the blurbs and extras you guys have while displaying the culture and foods of different places.. that little added extra comedy really makes me.look forward to every one of these videos. You guys keep killing it.
had a good chuckle love how they are deeply passionate and then throw in some laughs sonny and his wife videos are some of my fav though the production value of the main vlog can't be beat
When I first bumped into this channel completely by accident, I thought it was just one of the ten thousand food-focused UA-cam channels out there. Man, was I wrong! This channel, I daresay, is among the top 5 or even top 3 best food-focused channels on UA-cam. There are three major factors for its success. Number 1, of course, is the amazing host. He is full of energy, unpretentious, adventurous, respectful, non-judgmental, yet honest about the food that he eats. If he doesn't like something, he will tell you, but he never uses that as an excuse to bash the entire cuisine of the country. Second is the range of food that is show-cased in the videos, ranging from the most down-to-earth to the most exquisite. This is what a really good UA-cam food channel should be like. Third is the destinations which include places that most people will not dream of visiting themselves (e.g. Central Asia, the Amazon jungle).
I miss all the food from my hometown Hong Kong, thanks for the video and hope you had a great time there! One noodle recommendation for you to try next time (or you may already have tried! haha) Cart Noodles 車仔麵！I wish NYC has something like that, Cart noodles is one of the most unique and local cantonese dishes in HK in my opinion! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Anyway, Great content as always!
I will never stop watching him! The greatest part about his videos is him and his wife do all these crazy things together and she always gets to try the weird stuff cuz he buys for 2 no matter where or how much. So cool.
The beef 9.38sec is skirt steak, comes from the flank its has to do nothing forequarter between the brisket and ribeye. Its attached to the hindquarter and is attached to the sirloin and eye fillet, aka porterhouse and fillet Mignon in the US
That wonton noodle place was my dad's favourite. He requested for the dried noodle from this shop sent to him in Canada by mail. Customs wasn't convinced that it was a treat for my dad and cut open the noodles to see if I hid something inside
I’m from Mauritius and live in europe for the last two decades almost. The Cantonese street foodweirdly reminded me of home. Wonton noodles are my favourite noodle bowls. We have a pretty big Cantonese community in Mauritius.
Fong Wing Kee, the spot you went for the most expensive noodles, is actually famous for their Satay Hot Pot, an old recipe that is rarely found in HK anymore. It's rich and savory and better than any other Satay Hot Pot spot, it's too bad you just went for the noodles. Hope you have the opportunity to go again and try the hot pot because it's the best in my opinion.
the beef is spongey and soft because they use baking soda or alkaline to marinade and make the beef or most meat in HK softer (referring to the stir fried beef and rice noodle dish).
That cut of meat at the end looks like a flat iron cut, pretty common here in the states. I believe it came about after cows got pretty big and essentially developed the new muscle. One of my favorite cuts. Amazing flavor, great texture.
Awesome video behind the scenes of these food stalls big fan of your show miss HK foods so much living in Ireland we don't have this can't wait to go back soon so yummy
3 things li learned from this video 1. Based on last place I learned about a new cut of beef 2. Based on Third place, finishing the noodles with lard is a game changer 3. based on first place and sonny's comments, Peanut butter and jelly noodles could be a new viral food trend
FYI @ 3:25 of the clip, what is shown are Cantonese soup dumplings, not wanton. It can be recognize by the black fungus(Auricularia auricula-judae) inside of it. Wanton on the other hand does not contain the black fungus as shown on other parts of the clip.
Thank you for this wonderful noodle tour of Hong Kong! Last time I visited was 2018, I do miss it. I should go back, to visit my best friend and his family. All these noodles look great…but there’s one noodle dish that rules them all. My mom’s. Hailing from Belitung in Indonesia, from Chinese migrants from Southern China who ended up there in the 18th century. It’s surprisingly similar to HK cuisine. That’s why we feel so at home there!
Virginia is back!!! 🎉 🥳 🎉 One of my favorite co-hosts!!! She is amazing, you need to get her on the payroll so she can be in your vids all the time!!! ❤ 😁 Her vids always make me smile and laugh! 😂
To me, all those dishes are such comfort food!!! Between California, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, I can go from one comfort niche to the next. Also, Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese food is included in that comfort zone!!! The last 'expensive' bowl of beef and noodles I've never seen before. I look it up. Virginia seems like such a delightful person.
Yummmm! Thanks for spotlighting some amazing food and culture as always Sonny! Don't worry about being judged. You're not only making wholesome and informative content for us lucky viewers, but you spotlight all around the world and tell the truth: food brings our small world and people together. ❤ Virginia is awesome! Much love to you, your wife, and your continued success with a channel that would make Anthony Michael Bourdain proud. 🎉
You and the wife work great together,the second you eat everything looked delicious,number 3. Looks delicious too.every cookie different like you have pointed out on ever video.
Usually I'm not at all a fan of collaborations when it comes to UA-camr(s) but your chemistry with Virginia was so funny and flawless. Loved it. Good noodles too.
Its crazy awesome how the streets of hong kong stand the test of time. The streets, people and vendors look exactly the same to me from when I lived there 20 years ago. Hope to get back there for some eating, sights and sounds
Just to be precise the sauces for the rice noodle rolls are soy sauce, peanut sauce, sweet sauce, chilli sauce and white sesame. In my old days, they would included cold cooking oil. When I eat my wonton noodles, I usually add red wine vinegar to complement its meals. Glad he added some chilli sauce for his beef chow fun. For that similar hotpot beef vermicelli, could make those at home rather than paying $58 where the cost is mostly applied to the part of the meat itself. There are still few types of noodles I've yet to see him try and they are Long Life E-Fu Noodles, Silver Needle aka mouse tail noodles, & Lai Fun types of spaghetti made out of rice flour, etc.
I,love all of his guides - but my favorite is the executive that sends him on on mysterious quests ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️! Come on Sonny - forget that @whomever, sent Sonny on mysterious quest-please do it again ❤️. Sending hugs, from Michigan!
Some viet places in the US Northwest have a dual noodle option where you can get both pho noodles and the chewy egg noodles in the same bowl. Highly recommend the dual noodle approach.
Sweet, Virginia took you to Ho To Tai all the way out in rural Yuen Long! It was shown on camera the "swallow skin dumplings"... a Fujian speciality, shame you also didn't try them
🥳 woohoo! Great to have Sonny back in Hong Kong trying out all the noods! 🍜 Thanks for having me 😊
What are the names of the restaurants in English?
You were funny and I enjoyed watching this
your website doesn't work 😔
Funny

I like Virginia,I feel like she's doing her job very well because of how knowledgeable she is with everywhere they're going
😅😅
She was just with Mark Wiens too
@@Malikeh I see her everywhere with all the hong kong foreigner foodies.
It would've been nice if she was also trying the food. Looks like she didn't want to waste $

1. your editing team is just one of my favorites on youtube; huge kudos.
2. this was such a fun trio (including wife!!!) to watch.
great video team
haha I think Sonny found his arch-nemesis with Ms. Virginia. She's very bubbly and a joy to watch.
Vee, is as well😍!
😂 I think so too!!!
no such thing as nemesis or bubbly or joy to or etc or not, outx, can outx etc any nmw s perfx

I played it 5 times laughing my heart out 😂
Absolute best

Yay! The return of Virginia!!!
Yay!!! Thanks for the warm welcome!
Omg Virginia so hilarious 😂

Love Virginia! Such friendly guide
Food looks delicious! Virginia and Sonny together are so fun! Great video!
thank you for this beautiful footage. ( especially of the wok pan toss that was nice) may blessings come to you and your family
Finally HK series again! I feel like the last time you visited there your video still haven't covered everything yet, so this gonna be great
The first one is NOT a noodle. Us HKers have never ever classified it as a noodle. It’s a street food snack.
It's a salad.
That’s what I thought. More of like rice rolls instead of noodles 😂
Chee cheong fan
If you type rice roll into google it literally says rice NOODLE roll, origin Hong Kong so…
@@TheKingOfBeans you’re gonna argue with a local HKer? Come on bro
I really love the co-hosts on this channel.
I hope there are many more episodes in HK!
8:51, 方榮記. This is the hot pot place the Hong Kong gangsters hang out place. That’s what it is famous for, not the beef.
I miss all the food from my hometown Hong Kong, thanks for the video and hope you had a great time there! One noodle recommendation for you to try next time (or you may already have tried! haha) Cart Noodles 車仔麵！I wish NYC has something like that, Cart noodles is one of the most unique and local cantonese dishes in HK in my opinion! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Anyway, Great content as always!
Fantastic video. I'll definitely hit up her tour co. when I visit hong kong later next year! cheers :)
This was an amazing video, i really enjoyed it. i hope youll create more videos like this in the near future! Please and thank you!
Many thanks from Rwanda!!! Your channel is a such blessing.
Soon many hk immigrants will move to rwandA😂
Finally, female calvin🎉
ROFL
its just calvin with a wig and dress on
Perfect timing to watch this. Food in check and sat down. 😊
I will never stop watching him! The greatest part about his videos is him and his wife do all these crazy things together and she always gets to try the weird stuff cuz he buys for 2 no matter where or how much. So cool.
Yes. I love mornings with another video with Sonny
Lose the mask
@@OrbitalTrails-x5s huh?
@@OrbitalTrails-x5s huh???
Me too
@@OrbitalTrails-x5s Lose yourself
Virginia is awesome. I love her cheerful positive attitude.
My top 3 all-time favorite noodles with broth are: 1) Phở, 2) Bún bò Huế, 3) Wonton Noodle (with added bbq duck leg and bbq pork)
No tonkotsu ramen? 🫠
@@pcwill it's on my top 10, but not top 3. Sorry.
The beef 9.38sec is skirt steak, comes from the flank its has to do nothing forequarter between the brisket and ribeye.
Its attached to the hindquarter and is attached to the sirloin and eye fillet, aka porterhouse and fillet Mignon in the US
I challenge that. Its the serratus ventralis muscle from the fore quarter. It is removed from the boneless chuck eye roast.
@@michaeljaks5720 Exactly. Skirt looks similar, but has almost no marbling.
@@michaeljaks5720 yeah i thought chuckeye which in the us is probably the last cheap good tasting cut - i am glad they didn't call out the cut by name
It's called a chuck flat....thinly sliced
Chuck Eye or Denver, not so special, and rather cheap from the butcher.
That wonton noodle place was my dad's favourite. He requested for the dried noodle from this shop sent to him in Canada by mail. Customs wasn't convinced that it was a treat for my dad and cut open the noodles to see if I hid something inside
The fact that we get free food videos on UA-cam by Sonny is truly a gift.. Keep up the good work, my man! 👍👍👍
It's not free, you're paying with your time but I still enjoy every video he puts out.
UA-cam pays him over $4k a month so he does not have to work!
@@Israeli_Princeyou are so naive!! He is only in it for free travel from UA-cam welfare! Get a job!
Okay.
@@paulcziman624I think he is in it because he loves making these video’s and he gets payed lots more then 4k a month
Fantastic. Love the banter between Sonny and Virginia.
I’m from Mauritius and live in europe for the last two decades almost. The Cantonese street foodweirdly reminded me of home. Wonton noodles are my favourite noodle bowls.
We have a pretty big Cantonese community in Mauritius.
ene bon ti bol mine bouilli ek so boulettes!
Thank you for showing food in Hong Kong🙌🏻 Always welcome you to come back here🇭🇰
hello Sonny , bring out Virginia more often, and great job Sonny and Virginia
Big fan of Virginia since she first appeared on the main channel pre-Covid. I hope to book a tour with her the next time I’m in HK.
Yoooo. More HK videos!
little bloopers made into edits like that at 5:45 makes this so much funnier, thank you
Virginia is full of life 😊
Love the yoshi noise for wife eating so good! Virginia is awesome
Good to see Virginia again! Kudos to you for loyalty and continuity. Great chemistry as always!
I always like these episodes with a local guide!
10:01 ''not knowing that I don't actually care about vegetables"
Same Sonny, same😂
This is the first video I watch in your Hong Kong series, I hope you will introduce the world satay beef noodle which we Hong Kong people love!!! 🤤
Virginia is so cute and happy!
please give details of places, love to go too! subscribed thanks :)
I'm never this early 😂
I didn’t even realize until I saw your comment
Me too
Thats what i always tell my girlfriends.
Fong Wing Kee, the spot you went for the most expensive noodles, is actually famous for their Satay Hot Pot, an old recipe that is rarely found in HK anymore. It's rich and savory and better than any other Satay Hot Pot spot, it's too bad you just went for the noodles. Hope you have the opportunity to go again and try the hot pot because it's the best in my opinion.
I'm looking forward to Hong Kong's episode! And freedom to Hong Kong! And today was the best! Thank you always for your great videos, Sonny Side!
Freedom has been dead since 2018 in HK. Used to be called Hong Kong, now is merely Hell Kong.
Knoxville Tennessee checking in!❤
I'd love to visit Hong Kong someday 😢😢😢
Wonton noodles is a Hong Kong must! Happy to hear it’s one of your favourites!
The wok hay on those "best" noodles! Fuiyoh!
Great episode. Love Virginia's personality.
watching this while i’m eating 2 minute noodles with bread … 😐
😆👍
😂
It be like that bro
😅
bread? naw too fancy. striaght maruchan cups 🗿 🤣🤣
the beef is spongey and soft because they use baking soda or alkaline to marinade and make the beef or most meat in HK softer (referring to the stir fried beef and rice noodle dish).
Welcome BACK! Love the return of Virginia as well! ❤
Free Hong Kong from the CCP.
Excellent video. The wonton noodle soup gets my vote too. I'm planning to book a food tour or 2 with Virginia when i visit HK next year.
This is $1 USD! Not $1 HKD!
Nice to see you in HK, Sonny and oh thanks for the photo too 👍
Why is Virginia not eating? That's very weird.
That cut of meat at the end looks like a flat iron cut, pretty common here in the states. I believe it came about after cows got pretty big and essentially developed the new muscle.
One of my favorite cuts. Amazing flavor, great texture.
Hello

You and the wife work great together,the second you eat everything looked delicious,number 3. Looks delicious too.every cookie different like you have pointed out on ever video.
the tender of beef is not due to the cut, but mainly due to the marinate method
rice roll, wonton noodles, stir fried beef with rice noodles, all classic Cantonese noodle dishes that are MUST TRIES.
Usually I'm not at all a fan of collaborations when it comes to UA-camr(s) but your chemistry with Virginia was so funny and flawless. Loved it. Good noodles too.
