Can Kids Handle 24 Hours Eating in Hong Kong? 🇭🇰

We've got just 24 hours in Hong Kong and we're attempting to eat as much of it as possible. From fun local breakfasts, to Michelin star pork buns, to street food at one of the city's busiest night markets. And we're doing it all with two kids. And I'm so excited because so far all the food we've tried here in Hong Kong has been amazing. And we're starting with one of the most iconic local breakfasts. Look at all these little baked goodies. Thank you. This is one of the ones we're going to try. Pineapple bun and butter. It's nothing to do with pineapple though. It's just bread. It says that they've got no pineapple but it's sugary egg yolk coated top crust is cooked into a golden brown checkered pattern. All right so I think we have ended up with a pineapple bun which has some butter in it. It's huge and it looks so yummy. All right first test. It does look like pineapple honestly. The top is really yummy. Thank you. I really like it because I am a fan of just delicious soft white bread. So then when you put it like a nice crispy top on it and then just put a slab of butter inside I'm gonna like it. And then we ended up getting the girls a one and a half. Oh that's yummy. Don't drink all of it. Callie's had to miss out on this one for the food but she's very happy with her drink. Thank you. Thank you. And then what did you get? The pork pineapple bun. It's like a tuck shop chicken burger from school. It smells like a chicken burger from school. Isn't it pork though? You're exactly right. It's really yummy. I'm jealous of Tom's. There's something more filling than just bread and butter. I did get an iced milk tea and it's very tea. This one's the lemon honey and this is the milk tea. It looks like a tea that I would make at home but it tastes very different. So yesterday we did try egg tarts at Bakehouse and if you watched our last video you would have seen our reactions to that one but this one looks a bit more classic style. This one's pastry is more like a shortcrust pastry. It's more crumbly but the egg is really silky. This is yummy. Honestly the ones at Bakehouse were like life-changing but this is one that you could actually probably eat for breakfast and you probably wouldn't feel sick afterward. The egg tarts actually come from the UK. They're like a custard tart so they are very similar. What do you reckon? It's like an egg tart. It does taste like an egg tart. This is so good. Are you warm though? Were you warm before when you were sitting by yourself? No I was cold. Yeah you were so cold. I wonder how much caffeine is in this tea. I'd say probably a lot. Quite a different breakfast to like a piece of sourdough and avocado and egg but I like it. It's not the slow type. No I do feel a bit shaky from the sugar. So we arrived at like quarter to eight probably and it was pretty empty in here. Wasn't too many people and now it is packed. I can imagine there'll be a line at the door later. I love the taxis here. I think they're so cute. So the first meal of the day was a success. That was so yummy. The pineapple bun was amazing. It was probably my favourite thing there for sure. Milk tea I could definitely get around if I could handle some caffeine because honestly I feel like if I drank that whole thing I wouldn't be feeling too good later. And then for the egg tart I wish I didn't eat the one from the bakehouse yesterday because I feel like that set my expectations to be very high but I also believe that that's not how they normally all would be. So for an egg tart in Hong Kong it probably tasted exactly correct but the bakehouse egg tarts I just cannot. I can't go past those ones. If I see another bakehouse shop I'll be getting another egg tart from there that's for sure. One of my favourite things so far has been just walking around early in the morning before it gets really busy. I just really love seeing a city as it's waking up because it's a lot of the time more of the locals just eating their breakfast or doing their little shopping or cleaning their storefronts and it's just really nice to see it at a slower pace especially because later in the day it gets so busy in a lot of these areas and especially near Mong Kok area which is where we are staying. Look at the city behind it's so cool. So we've got a busy couple of days coming up we will be heading to Disneyland for two days starting tomorrow so make sure you subscribe if you want to see us in Disneyland Hong Kong. But for this morning we've decided to do something a bit more calm and relaxing so we have come to Nanlian Gardens. I just love looking at the skyscrapers in the background I think it's so funny. It feels so peaceful here and then you're like oh wait I'm in this giant city. So we traded out the serenity of the gardens for Mong Kok the district that we are staying and fun fact if you didn't hear it last week in my vlog it is the busiest district in the world as per guinness world records. It's got over a hundred thousand people per square kilometer which is just an insane amount and we're walking through all the traditional markets trying to get to our lunch spot. We don't want to eat a traditional market style food for lunch today because we're doing that tonight. So we are heading to a very famous spot for lunch. Fancy. So for lunch we're having Tin Ho Mun and I'm not gonna lie we did have this last night for dinner and we had a takeaway and it was so good. So this place is actually a michelin star restaurant and it's famous for its pork bun. They're not like a traditional pork bun where they are steamed they are actually like baked so they have this crisp exterior. The man made sure to explain to me that this one is not for drinking it is for washing. So you wash your cutlery before you eat. It's a white peach tea. You can't taste it. Does it not taste like anything? So the first one that came out was the rice wrapped in lotus leaf. I'm not really sure how to do it. Wow. It's all sticky. Hopefully just pork. I think it's pork. What is that though? A sausage. Oh I don't know about that. It's like what is that? Mine just looks like normal pork. Maybe. Hopefully it's pork. And you ordered a weird thing. This is weird. But I wanted something that was weird. It's a traditional something in lotus leaf. It is a bit like a little present. You open it and you don't know what you're going to get. I don't know. The flavor kind of gets to me in a way that I don't really want to eat much of it. Yeah I'm not sure about this weird little sausage thing. The flavors are like. Yeah the flavors are non-Australian. They're really overwhelming. It's probably some kind of like really intestine kind of sausage. Yeah it looks. It's really rich. I'm glad I didn't get that little sneaky sausage. Then we got the pork and rice one. We had this one last night too. It's just so simple but so delicious. And then I believe the last thing we got. I can't remember honestly. Were these pork and shrimp steamed dumplings. And they're prawns daddy. Yeah they're shrimp. So we don't eat those except for Tom. But Tom will enjoy these. Look at these two with their chopsticks. You're trying. Callie's concentration face. Alright what's your dumpling like? Yeah I thought it would be nice. Yeah I did it. Nice one. Good job. I like the pork and rice one the most because it's just so simple but it's still so yummy. And it tastes like something I would get at like a Chinese restaurant at home. I can't go back to that now that I've gone to this. Let mummy order one time and we end up with. I wanted to experiment. And then these ones are so yummy. Rice roll. It's like an Asian sausage roll. I like these ones. I like the rice noodle. I always have my favorite types of rice. Yeah it's so soft and squishy. But you have to eat it all together. That's fair. It's nice with the flavor hey. I've got a lot of food allergies in this family and sensitivities as well. But I found that like breakfast can be really tricky for us because breakfast a lot of the time is wheat heavy and dairy heavy. But so far the Asian lunch and dinner is very good. It's always got either rice or meat or like rice noodles or rice rolls. Lots of different rice alternatives. Thank you so much. These are the buns Mila. The one that you like. Hang on it'll be hot. So those are the baked pork buns. Oh my god you can see how soft they are. So yummy. These little pork buns are heavenly. I thought I liked steamed pork buns but I like baked. It's like a little little secret. I don't think we'll find them in Australia. I'll never find these again. I love them. This is the sweetest little pork filling. Have you become a bun? Yummy. It's just been a day of buns hasn't it? Delicious buns. Bun heaven. What was that? The roll? Yeah. You like them? You do yeah. The rice roll. Well I'm not sure what local Hong Kong people would think of Tim Ho Wan's. Is that what it was called? But I honestly loved it. And if you are from here then let me know what the locals think of it. Do they eat there often? Is it kind of like a subway for Australians? But honestly it was such a good lunch. We all enjoyed what we ate. The lotus leaf thing was probably the strangest part of the whole thing but I'm glad we tried it as well. And then our next meal of the day will be dinner. So we'll see you soon at the markets. So we've now made it out to Temple Street night market. We are here for the food but before we get dinner we are walking through the little souvenir shops. A lot of them are the same but some are different. It is quite touristy but it's still a fun way to pass the time. Look at these shippy bags. That's for when you do too much shopping here. You can buy a new bag to get you home. Oh my god this place is so massive. There's such a long strip that way. And there's more this way. So cool aren't they? We could rock one of these in the caravan don't you think? The flamingo. It's as if these kids can sniff these machines out. Why not hey? You've got a hundred dollars worth of tokens. I pushed that and I put money in thinking I got change. Oh I hope you want. I got a lot too many coins. These might be real coins. Okay it might just be money. Silly me put a hundred dollar note in. I thought it would give me change but I'm thinking it's change not tokens. I think it's coins so I think I'm okay. I didn't get in trouble yet. Oh what? Did you see the angle it had? Yep and now ready? Move this. Somewhere where you think you'll grab something. Oh my god it's so fast. Go here. Oh oh. He's so cute. Oh it's blocked though. You literally can't win something. Look. What are you? What is happening? This is just rigged completely. Okay let's do smart now. You have to go for ones that don't. Abbott just completely blocked. There's jelly cats in here. It literally throws it out of the claw. What are you? He literally just like went further away from the hole. This is why no one's in here. Look at this. This is the biggest toy. How would it ever get past that? It's just a little scam. We were. We didn't check the machines before we bought our tickets. This is passive income. You never have to come and fill up the thing. They do want to keep our money. Let's not spend more money here then hey. We'll try again when we go to another country. I hope this is real money. Oh I hope it is. Let's see. Someone tell us. This is real money right? I think this is real money. It says Hong Kong. It says five dollars. Tom was so mad at me. Imagine how mad I would have been if it gave us tokens that you could only use. Hopefully we would have won something but I don't think we would have. Sorry guys we did try. It's just fully blocked. Okay if you're in Hong Kong don't go into that little tiny fake claw machine place. Oh what a funny funny time. I know. After that little trickery I think it's time that we go and find some food. The food section is probably my favorite so far. This looks better. So many stalls have some really yummy looking food and then some very interesting looking food as well. We spotted a little restaurant on the corner and it's got these cool little seats just like it's very local. So we're going to go sit there and see what the menu is. It's got a really cool view of the markets and it's a good place to people watch. It's boiling water. It's to clean it. So you use the boiling water to clean your things. Does doing this cleaning yourself worry you or make you feel good? I don't know. It worries me and makes me feel good. The only negative is now we have this big bowl of boiling water on our table. Now let's put them all in here so we know they're all clean and hopefully they'll take that big bowl. They're not clean anymore are they? Asian countries just do beer so right. It's just so good. I have no idea what this beer is. It's really nice because it's so hot. What did you see? Crabs on a plate. Oh no. Poor Mila. I think she's a vegetarian. You have a big heart sweetie. She's not loving this view. Oh you don't want to remember this? Oh no. What's this one? Guys it looks like sweetened apple. It's the verdict. Everything we've eaten is so good hey. As per Mila's request spring rolls and she's already dug into them. Oh it's so hard to pick up because it's just so flat. I got it. Good job. Good? Oh it's really good she says. Yum. I'm glad you enjoy it. Oh it shouldn't be spicy. Let me try. You're right it is spicy. I'm so sorry. Yeah pineapple will help. Good job eating that pepper Kali. Here's more pineapple. Yum. You're doing good with your chopsticks. That's pretty good Mila. Good job. Yeah it's for everyone. All right let's get you some rice. Rice? Thank you. And they got this rice noodles and beef. Oh yummy. Tom's just living his best life. Always asking for Chinese food at home and now you get it in the most traditional way. There's so many good meals. Yeah. The one that I really wanted that I didn't try was the fresh frog. I think that would have been really good. It's the fresh frog. Is it called fresh frog? Not fried or anything just fresh. Seriously in his absolute element. I haven't eaten anything except spicy chili and some beer. This was a good idea. I'm glad we did this. It looks so yummy. Did you like the noodle? Everything's so good. The sweet and sour pork is so good. I think Mila likes the food here. Oh my god. We've created a little food monster and this one's a little rice monster. Good song girl. So this is where we were seated. And the food market's right there. 290 Hong Kong dollars. So about 50 bucks for a massive meal. Very very big feed. Don't have to share our food here. Yeah. It's so pretty in the food market now because it's a lot darker than when we were first here. And all the lights are shining and it's a really nice atmosphere. This is the durian meal. So we've finished our dinner. So it's time for dessert. We're on the hunt for a bubble waffle. At the bubble waffle stand we also found a milk egg tart. I haven't tried one of these ones yet. That was just pastry. So much pastry. Let's try again. Not as good as the classic egg tart but kind of nice. Nutty. Honestly not much flavor. This is how they entertain themselves while waiting. Oh here it comes. Does smell like chocolate. We got the bubble waffle. We weren't sure whether we should get the traditional classic flavor or chocolate. We ended up with chocolate. It's kind of gooey. Kind of gooey? Kind of gooey on the inside. I thought it might be. It's pretty good. I don't think of what it is like because it's like another kind of waffle I've had. Maybe it's just like the certain kind of waffles you get. Like a really nice soft waffle. The soft gooey ones. Yeah the best waffles you can get in Australia. That's what this is. It's really fun though. Like taking a big bite of one big bubble and then feeling it in your mouth. It's very perfect mixture of crispy and squishy soft. Yeah it's cool. It's like the more you have the more you want. Such a good end to this though. But that does mark the end of the video. I really hope you enjoyed watching and if you did I'd really appreciate a like. And if you want to see our next video which will be Disneyland Hong Kong make sure you hit that subscribe button and you'll see us again next week. Thank you so much for watching guys.
