We Eat the World's Most Famous Dim Sum 第一次吃早茶，排队一个半小时，太震撼了！

I made a full moon last night on Tampa, on Tampa Street, on the full moon. And I've got a close-up of the woodwork on the... on the... Hello everyone, I'm James. I'm Sue, I'm Emma. I'm Robert. Okay, today is the 1st of October as we film this, so it's National Day. We're going to go to the most classic tourist spot in Hong Kong to celebrate National Day. Taiping Town, Victoria Peak. However, it's overcast today, isn't it? Yeah, it's very warm. Very warm. Too warm. Sweated so much. We almost changed schedule in the subway station and then just decided to come here anyway because probably, hopefully, there'll be less people, possibly. So apparently, when we get on the tram, we want to sit at the front on the left. I think... Hopefully, it's not the right. Go on, go on. You alright? Yeah. Just sit down. I'm in a queue. Brilliant. We're not at the very front, are we? Yeah, I suppose. You do know that the people who live at the top of Victoria Peak... I'm Robert. Yeah. I doubt they're using this to get up there. It looks like we're up there. Going up so steep. So some people, when they come here, they walk to find a spot to, you know, take in the view. However, there is a platform here as well. Watch your step here, Dad. Instead of walking the longest of this, we're going to go on the platform, alright? It might be a bit overcast, but at the very least, it's not raining. Oh, it's a bit overcast. That's a bit sad. Wonderfully, I came here. What message did you send me this morning? No, not that. What did Mum ask? Should we bring a... No, she was glad she was tall. Are you glad you didn't bring a coat? Yeah, you're glad you didn't. Now, do the outstretched arm thing. Looks taller, doesn't it? Go on, Mum, you try it. What did you say? Maybe he's good at that pose. Do you know the famous line? Life is not a bowl of cherries. Life is like a bowl of cherries. What's that? What's that? I'm talking. There you go. I've never watched a film. We're going to keep that in. Life is like a bowl of cherries. That's a positive spin on life, that is. Love your hair. I've got a whole lot of hair. How's that for a first night? A bit hairy. Oh, yeah, look at that. What have you got on, Mum? Just a brief hour and a half wait. It will be worth it. Look how popular this place is. So this place is called Maxim's Palace. There's a few around Hong Kong. Maxim's Palace. One of, and possibly the most famous dim sum place in Hong Kong. All right? Beautiful. Yeah, it is beautiful, isn't it? So that's how it works. They come round pushing the trolleys. You just have to pull the last one. Why only three? That's how dim sum comes, in threes. Oh, is it? With dim sum, you'll be eating savoury alongside sweet sometimes. You can't leave all your sweet till the end, right? Oh, no, no, no. I'm sorry. Molten lava custard buns. Oh, right. Yeah, exactly. You should probably try them whilst they're warm. Yeah. Oh, take your plate. Don't eat the paper on the bottom. I've cooked these, haven't I? You've cooked them, yeah. I've put them in a steamer. It's salted egg custard, so it's not allowed to eat. This is kind of like the tofu you had yesterday, but in abalone sauce. The red day. This is eggplant. Aubergine. I need to just go and get it. Right. I mean, they're supposed to come round and you're supposed to call them, but they don't seem to be coming over here. Anyway, this is a dumpling with pea shoots and bamboo, and this is a dumpling cooked with crab roe on the top. Feels a bit hectic. And they kind of ignore you when you talk to them. Yeah, they're not very nice, but then it's fish. What's that like, Dad? It's not shrimp. Is it shrimp? If it is, she's given me the wrong one. It's not any shrimp. No, she gave me the wrong one. Thank you. Okay, so some porridge with century egg. If you don't want it, just don't eat it, alright? Porridge is a blessing. Oh, you are hot, that one. Get in your bed still if you die, Bob. Well, that was the ingredient. It was the sesame. That was a good one. Well, tell them what the difference is. Well, that's what you said it was, but I can't tell them just to clean that mug. Same one. Do you think that was sesame? Yeah, you bet. I'm only going on what you said to me. It's sesame. Turnip cake, really nice. Ribs in black bean sauce. You can see that. Chicken feet. Yeah, I'm not having that. Nah, that's enough. I'll try one. This is mango pudding. Mango, sago, grapefruit in mango soup. How's that chicken sweet, Dad? It's nice, the chicken, but it's a lot of trouble to get a bit of chocolate powder. But it's quite alright, yeah. What's it called again? Turnip cake. What's inside it? Turnip. Oh, it's just turnip. It's nice, though. It's nice, but strange. Do you think it's strange? I've never had anything like it before. It's nice, though. It's got a slightly salty taste. I'm going to pull up now. I'll give that to you later. I'm going to put the sauce on that. Black bean sauce. Is it black bean sauce? This is more like a bangfruit than a snack. No, it's dates. Red dates, they're nice. Is that one of your five a day? No, no, absolutely not. It's sago in here. Yeah, sago, grapefruit, mango in mango soup. Not one more mango pudding. Try this. You're getting these huge liquids. Condensed milk on top. Oh, you would like this. That's lovely, isn't it? You would like this. It goes really fast. If you can eat chicken feet, you can eat that. That's nice. Thank you. Can I have these? Yeah. Can I have one of these? Yeah. I need a chicken and a watermelon. Mango! Did they do that on purpose? Get that, get that. No need to share. I can't eat it all. I'll pull up. It's nice, though. I think I've got more taste. Which one would you prefer? I think that's probably got more taste than this, but I like them both. This might be a first. You've stopped eating them all. I'm going. It's very nice to try different things. Yeah, it's very nice. I'm not a lover of everything, obviously. What was your favourite? That was my favourite sweet one. I like this perfect thing, the abalone. The abalone sauce? Sauce, yeah. That was steamed, whatever you call it. Steamed, whatever you call it. Almost everything is steamed. Yeah, but the ones that you told me were a sesame bun. The ones that you thought were sesame bun were actually salted custard. Yeah. Where's, where's, where's? Oh, is that it? Oh, sorry, Mum. She doesn't want me to film her. Tell me where you see yourself in the next five years. I tell you what, so your day's just got a little bit better. It's going to get a lot better now. Look what I've got for you. Lovely. My favourites. Yeah, cover yourself up. You don't want anything showing on camera. I've just read a line that some people have already been... Crimes against fashion. No, some people have been queuing since... Oh, yeah. Some people have been queuing since 2pm this afternoon for the fireworks. So, um... So we don't stand much chance then. We'll see. Right, see you in a bit. Hello. Where have you been? You're looking... Like you're wearing more clothes than earlier. OK, so we're going to take the shuttle bus from the hotel to the nearest... It's OK, Dad. It's not here for another ten minutes. It's OK. To the nearest location that we can get to to see the fireworks. So the first set back, the bus has been cancelled. Why? Because they've blocked the roads. Look at this many people in the background. It's hot. That is superb. Lovely. This is char siu. Tom's got some sweet pork. Tom, use your fork. This is absolutely delicious. I like that. It's cool. It's got frappé on the top. You're not having your greenery, Bob. I'm all right. I do like the meat. Very nice. Tom, what are you getting? What are they called? It's called char siu. Char siu. In Cantonese. It's like sweet pork. Oh, I see. Very nice. Here's a bit more pork with the pork crackling. Have you tried the sweet pork that Mum's been eating? I've had some. I'm going to have that and I'll give Mum the pork with the crackling. Crispy skin. Very nice. It's lovely. It's meaty though, isn't it? Yeah, but I like meat. I don't need meat at all. It's lovely. I don't need meat. Rabbit food. It's nice. I'm going to try that. This is very expensive in Britain if you go and eat this. It's very popular. Is it? Yeah. Very popular in London. You can get this in Burbank, isn't it? You have to go to Chinatown. That was very nice. How was that, Dad? Lovely. I see you've left most of your vegetables. Yeah, yeah. That's lovely. It's a good broth, isn't it? I can tell after such a long time. It's meaty. It's got a big bit of meat in there. I'm going to need pumpkin for that. We're going to head over to where we need to go. This is where we'll hopefully be watching the fireworks from. Oh my God. So we've got our tickets. Don't lose it. You! Where's your sticker? Out. Look how I spoil you. I take you to car parks. There's literally no chance we're going to miss this. No. Ten minutes to go until fireworks celebrate National Day. It's the 74th anniversary. Yes, 74th. Do you remember the last time you were here? Yeah, the 50th. 70th. 70th, Mum? 70th. OK, right, so let's go on. Are you excited? No. New Year and National Day. Worth the wait. It's not much different, are they? There you go. There's a weird one. That one's weird as well. That one makes me look even shorter. I want to look who's inside, Mum. Oh, Jackie Chan. Oh, that's Cumberbun. Cumberbun. Cumberbatch. Jackie Chan. Oh no, Jackie Chan. You put that there. I know, but I didn't think you would put it in front of... You've got to put... It's hard to find me with that, you know, if I'm adjacent to the table. But we're in Honolulu. You know what I mean? Very calm.
