a hi from HK, this bagged noodles is completely 100% HK style street food, affordable and teens-loved food. There is a big fridge storing like 15-20 toppings you can choose from. The octopus is totally a good thing, it's sweet, going really really great with the garlic. Can't believe this bagged noodle is introduced to foreigners on UA-cam!! Thanks Lucas!
@@jonathandjing1065 Not sure if Yuen long has this kind of shop. I know there is a few shops selling this in Mongkok, one in Mongkok center and one is at the G/F of 兆萬中心（CTMA Center). As the noodle is so low in price, I think it is commonly operate near school or teens hangout places🤣 u may checkout Yuen long 嘉城中心maybe？🤣
The cooked oil “sook yau” that Lucas mentions a few times actually is something that shouldn’t be missed. Def a big part of HK cuisine and always a part of my mom’s pantry. She would cook the oil with a few slices of garlic to flavour it and keep it in the pantry for any lo mein dishes. 🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰
If you cook it with garlic, and then store it, do you need to reheat it before serving on a cold dish like this? Just curious it the 'fresh heat' is a component or if just cooking it a little in the past will open the flavor?
I never knew this was a common thing! My mom always heated up oil with a couple cloves of garlic for every dish in the wok and the smell was a sign that dinner was almost ready
OMGGG I grew up with cold noodle in the snack shop and had it almost everyday after dropping off from the school bus!! 😭Its like 15 years ago but I still remember my favourite combination is pork neck, corn, and seaweed salad with 2 bags of rice noodle 'mai sin' instead of egg noodle🤣🤣 Lucas, thanks so much not only for this recipe, but also recalling this precious memories for someone outside HK like me. 💗 (just came across this vid and immediately liked and subscribed becz of Lucas😬 gayau!!)
Same! It's been 15 years for me too and this brings back memories of a really fun time in my life. My favourite was double egg noodles, extra spicy, with squid, and seaweed.
Woah! That’s really something I grew up with in HK! Good job, Lucas, to bring it to a wider audience worldwide!! I recall another way to mix it is to stick a long spoon for poking lemon pieces in an iced lemon tea and give it a really violent stir! The sauces and all ingredients will be brought to a perfect mix in this way.
I really love hearing him talk about food. The way he describes flavors and textures, the historical and cultural context and he gives it all an air of simplicity. Just great :)
I miss this “lo lo” so much. Born there and moved to US when I was 3. My cousins brought my family to this shopping center in Kwai fong in 2012 and til this day we crave and miss it so much. Don’t dare to go back to HK now so we make this at home for get togethers.. LEGIT SO GOOD!!! Wish they can open a store / kiosk here lol
This would be amazing in a jar or coffee cup. At my work recently someone dropped like a hundred of the nice expensive coffee cups all on the ground and we had to throw them out and not use them, so I took them home. This would be an awesome use for them since I don't drink coffee.. they're those nice dense paper foam ones similar to the nice noodle cups.. they will fit in the cup holder in my car... nice. I'm gonna try this!
Im crying. Since I left Hongkong 8 years ago I’ve been missing this thing so much but it’s really hard to find these days when I’m back in HK. And cuz of corona I haven’t been back for 2 years..omg I’m so gonna make this later🥺
I honestly agree with what the other comment says, that this is 100% hong kong style street food. Introducing pineapple bun or silk stocking milk tea won't tell you 10% of bagged noodle does in terms of the understanding of hong kong (teenager) lifestyle, really impressed! Btw my personal order: ask for extra garlic. After all who wants to date a girl who doesn't also have a mouthful of garlic breath after eating bagged noodles with you? Cheers Hong Kong :D
I love the tip about using cooked oil instead of raw oil, I've been using it for noodles/pasta for the last few weeks and I couldn't be happier! Almost no flavor, just non sticky noodles/pasta
有趣的以前店家都叫這台式凍撈/台式撈麵 然而當台灣的朋友到香港看到後卻說台灣根本就沒有這東西 因此我相信這的確是香港原創(? The funny fact is in HongKong those store who sale these noodles call them Taiwanese lowmein(cold noodle mix with sauce and garnish) But when I introduce this thing to all my Taiwanese friends they all said not certain things exist in Taiwan. I do believe this is Hong Kong original but they try to take the name from some oversea region to make it sounds more fancy
All of a sudden, I'm 13 and eating noodles out of a bag in a Mong KoK mall with my friends. This is bringing back a lot of memories...thanks for making this video!
I'm an Indian from Malaysia.....to those missing the cultural reference associated with the bag, please rest assured that my Indian self will never let a 'nice' bag go to the dustbin until I've properly washed it out, turned it inside out to dry and then found some use for it...
I remember a stall just outside of Kwun Tong MTR station, this brings back many memories of HK street food. Hopefully when quarantine ends, I’ll go back to visit my family and friends
Noodles in a plastic bag! Such a great idea for being able to prepare goodies for my co-workers, many of whom are Asian. I love to make them curry rice, sesame noodles, teriyaki, but now I have something that they can “take home” since our work don’t allow for everyone to eat at the same time, and some people’s “lunch time” is 4:30 PM, and they only want a small snack at that time. This idea of noodles in a bag is fantastic, and a wonderful way to create some nice “take home” goodies for hard-working folks so they don’t have to worry about dinner. Great idea.
This might sound like a strange request, but I would love more recipes with Vienna sausages. They’re so common in so many countries and I love to see how their incorporated into local dishes.
Awesome!!! Thank you cannot wait to try this.... Sooo many options... Omg why have I never thought of this... And in a zip lock bag.... Genius!! Thank you and I've shared this to heaps and heaps of friends and family. 5 x STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ P. S. and all in a little over 8mins... Awesome Luca 😊👍🏾hahahaha "Oh my Goodness..." Bro, I was right there with you . Looks like a mean eat!!!
Growing up in Hawaii, we'd buy a wax paper bag of chow fun (or any other kind of fried noodles) from the manapua man. This was usually after swimming at the rec center pool for a couple of hours. Could the post-swim snack from our childhood have originated in Hong Kong?
Wow! I grew up in HK during highschool/secondary school and I nearly forgot about those until I saw this video 😂 i love it especially with the sweet octopus
I had completely forgotten about thick noodles in plastic bags. Thin fried noodles in lined paper bags, yes. I do remember Singaporean drinks in plastic bags tho.
I’m from Hong Kong and currently lives in Canada so I made this and it’s pretty close to the real thing, except instead of using freshly copped garlic you should get the jarred minced garlic cause that’s what they use in HK. Fresh garlic is too spicy, lacking the sweetness of premade jarred ones.
I remember when I had these in HK I got the bigger, upside-down cone-shaped bags, much easier to stir. Anyways, silicone bags or lidded jars are home alternatives to plastics nowadays 😋 Thanks for the trip down memory lane and recipe!
Hi from hk, there’s still number of shops of this found in 葵廣, 兆萬 and旺中 in hong kong. I don’t know where the rest if they were still alive, tell me if more than mentioned shops around! 🤣🤣
Awesome Lesson. Lucas, please start your own channel. Ingredients that your can easily find. I also love the lesson on sauce. I worry about those packets on so many levels. Plastic..... too many points to list. Additionally preservatives, again too many points to list. Subscribed today in hopes that I can learn more. Blessings
so gratefull finding your channel, Hello from Indonesia. Love HK so much, but as foreigner, i can only spot this dishes at argyle rd, mongkok. tell me more about HK style wontion mian..

@@jonathandjing1065 it's definitely in yuen long, just hidden, checkout 又一新城
I am from Hk and thought it is more Thailand style
hmm tin shui wai has them. old malls do in general
IN FIVE SECONDS THIS MAKES ME SO EXCITED AS A HONG KONGER WHO ALSO GOT THESE IN MONG KOK

@@xasianxsoulx 🥰 … ah yes that familiar smell. How can I ever forget.
@@MrScherbert Be careful, if you don't cook the garlic enough it can introduce Botulin toxin
But what kind of oil? Sesame? Olive?
Lucas is naturally charismatic and eloquent. We need more of him!

I really love hearing him talk about food. The way he describes flavors and textures, the historical and cultural context and he gives it all an air of simplicity. Just great :)
Lucas is adorable, having already watched this and his cold sesame noodle video- ready for more!
this guy Lucas always explains everything very well, more of his videos please

I've never been to Hong Kong but when Lucas starts telling his stories, I get transported there.

Liking every video with Lucas in it so channels show us more of him

He has to be talking about the shop on Sai Yeung Choi St - Dundas St... That stall has outlived almost everything on that block!
i used to live on sai yeung choi street and that was the stall i immediately thought of when i saw the thumbnail!
@snowangeliquexx its by the entrance of CTMA Centre, underneath the sign, on street level. It's hard to miss.
hell yeah right opposite the mall on the corneer with gun street just down the road, good times
I always pass by that stall when I'm in that area, never knew it was that old!
what era was that? late 80s? 90s?
Yo why is this so underrated!!! Love the vids!!💕
Completely agree with this question/statement! I think I've just found my new favourite chef.
I love the tip about using cooked oil instead of raw oil, I've been using it for noodles/pasta for the last few weeks and I couldn't be happier! Almost no flavor, just non sticky noodles/pasta
I live in Hong Kong and I basically have "lo lo" everyday! Its delicious, high recommended!
Chef I'm desperate to visit Hong Kong one day (cinema nerd) and your videos are only making my cravings stronger!
This guy is awesome, and his enthusiasm is pure.
this dude is literally one of my bosses. super chill funny dude

. Looks like a mean eat!!!
I didn't even know there is a name for this snack! Real childhood snack
I made a similar version a few months ago for a road trip. It's absolutely delicious and easy to eat.
Love this idea!!!! I've been struggling with super easy things to bring to work! Going to try this!!!!
Incredible!
Have you tried it? How'd it go?
@@foodandwine Thanks to Food & Wine for this series. Please consider a dedicated series with Lucas Sin.
us a mason jar instead of a plastic bag, and once ur at work you can always add some hot water to make a miso / ramen style dish
Kids would LOVE these in their lunch. Looks yummy and u can put exactly what u like in the bag.

OMG I am so happy to have found you! I love this so much and have always wanted to recreate it! Will have a go!
I see Lucas Sin, I click nowadays. This guy is great
loved this gem growing up in HK!
This guy needs his own channel!!!
these are so cool! LOVE
Yes! This is one of my favourites when I go back to HK especially Mong Kok!!!
Had this once on my visit in HK…. couldn’t find it again. Thanks for the recipe!
As a person who moved to the US from HK, I adore you for making this video!!
Wow! I grew up in HK during highschool/secondary school and I nearly forgot about those until I saw this video 😂 i love it especially with the sweet octopus
This noodles look perfect for party
I just adore your story about childhood in Hong Kong with this noodle
This guy is the best!!
It's like a Capris Sun filled with noodles
HOTTEST new chef in America. Lucas is the future of food. I love this dude 💓💓💓💓💓💓
This brings back memories ☺️
I visited HK many times and I can’t believe I’ve never heard of these!
That was my childhood, love those everyday
As a hong konger, this dude is 100% legit！ im so proud that finally someobe prrsent my culture！
Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for more! 😋
I had completely forgotten about thick noodles in plastic bags. Thin fried noodles in lined paper bags, yes. I do remember Singaporean drinks in plastic bags tho.
Wow, been to HK many times and never imagined the HK people hv such an on- the-go snack! Fascinating
I need to see and learn more from this chef!!! Amazing
This would be awesome in a mason jar for lunch! Thanks!!
Love this chef so much
I love this!!! Thank you Lucas..!
How nobody is shouting out Charlie Kelly in here is beyond me, gotta have your bag of spaghetti with ya
Do you mean Charlie Day Spaghetti bag?
I’m from Hong Kong and currently lives in Canada so I made this and it’s pretty close to the real thing, except instead of using freshly copped garlic you should get the jarred minced garlic cause that’s what they use in HK. Fresh garlic is too spicy, lacking the sweetness of premade jarred ones.
It feels like this will mason jar very very well.
Lucas Sin so cool 🖤
Oh god brings back memories from the Argyle Center! Thank you so much for this recipe!
I remember when I had these in HK I got the bigger, upside-down cone-shaped bags, much easier to stir. Anyways, silicone bags or lidded jars are home alternatives to plastics nowadays 😋 Thanks for the trip down memory lane and recipe!
Brilliant.
Going to be honest I subbed because of Lucas. I’ll unsubscribe the day Lucas is no longer a part of this channel. Just being honest, my dudes.
@@blackfeminism yea I care
Me too I subbed when I saw that chilled sesame noodle recipe
@@blackfeminism you*
Omg, I had this when I was a kid! Finally know what the sauce is made of!
Oh I miss eating this whenever I go to HK!
Love love love, it was always my lunch
Charlie knew he was onto something with his spaghetti bag.
Going to try this for lunch using Top Ramen noodles.
Hi friend that looks Delicious very yummy and very tasty thanks for sharing my friend have a good day 👍👍👍👍👍👈👈🌻🌻🌻💛💛💛🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Looks sooo good...i will surely try this at some point

5:22 "ushually" XD He's hypersalivating, teehee
such a simple yet incredible idea for food on the go, Ill be making some to take for lunches at work lmao
The only place that I could find it near my home was closed a few years back. Big sadge, I had such a good time.
Awesome Lesson. Lucas, please start your own channel. Ingredients that your can easily find. I also love the lesson on sauce. I worry about those packets on so many levels. Plastic..... too many points to list. Additionally preservatives, again too many points to list. Subscribed today in hopes that I can learn more. Blessings
Where did u find out this sauce recipe ? Different shops usually have its own unique sauces.
Haven't had this for a very very long time!
I heard of Carribean bag juice but now we got bag noodles? That sounds an amazing meal if you got both.
legit true hongkey, i miss this so much
I like the concept 👍

The first time I had something like this, it was in Taskent, capital of Uzbekistan.
I’m so gonna use this recipe for when I’m going on a walk and don’t wanna buy anything from a restaurant.
I'm def making this omg
