-
All right you guys, this is Fung Bros in Hong Kong.
-
Like you've never seen.
-
LAX to HKG!
-
What's going on guys? We just landed in Hong Kong.
-
Now, we've been here several times before. But I feel like in this trip,
-
it's gonna be something like we've never seen.
-
Let's go!
-
Normally, when we come to Hong Kong, we're with our parents
-
and we're doing traditional things. But today in this video,
-
we are only showing you the hottest and trendiest spots
-
that you've never heard about, but you need to see.
-
First spot up, Mott 32.
-
All right you guys, so we are at Mott 32
-
with some of our local friends, Sophia and Kim.
-
Hello.
-
I heard for the cha siu, they imported the pork from Spain.
-
I heard the har gaus are made out of lobster.
-
I heard this siu mai have a quail egg in it!
-
Lift the baskets!
-
Got the caviar on top, got the quail egg. Decadent.
-
How do you eat your xiao long bao? That was a rookie move.
-
This is like their specialty.
-
This is what they're known for.
-
Becoming a liquid in my mouth.
-
That's the Steph Curry of cha siu. Ho sik!
-
Yo! We're in East Kowloon right now in a district called Kwun Tong.
-
And guess what? You’ve probably never been here before.
-
This old industrial cargo unloading area is now being refreshed
-
to become Hong Kong's hottest arts district.
-
So we are at the cafe which is named TFVS. It's a really hard name to say.
-
Mo meng, no name.
-
I'm sure that's it. Aesthetically we don't usually eat food that looks this good.
-
Yo, I thought these were those fungus wood ears. No, it's pasta.
-
I'm in an artistic mood. We gotta go check out the recording studio at the back.
-
Shout out to airplanes. World of Cathay.
-
Yo, yo, yo, I say Kwun Tong, that’s a cool city dude. Yeah you’re eating a lot of pretty food.
-
Let's check it out.
-
Hey. Michelle, you are from Britain?
-
Yup.
-
And Victoria you're from a little place called San Francisco?
-
A little place.
-
What’s your favourite thing that you've seen so far?
-
For me I like this vinyl record player. It just brings me back to, I don't know.
-
Your days of being a DJ?
-
Yeah, exactly!
-
This is so like old school looking.
-
Kids' silhouettes don't even look like that anymore.
-
They're doing this game.
-
All right everybody.
-
We're still in Kwun Tong and we're playing pool soccer.
-
It's pretty self explanatory.
-
On my left is Team Nai Cha! Milk Tea!
-
On my right is Team Ning Cha! Lemon Tea!
-
They cold.
-
Thanks for setting me up with the alley-oop broski. It's going to be a scratch.
-
Let’s do this. You know what you need to do. You need to hit in that purple
-
and then we're gonna hit that 8-ball and it's over.
-
All right you guys, that about does it for Kwun Tong.
-
Thank you Michelle and Victoria for joining us, but on to the next spot.
-
What's going on guys? We're in Causeway Bay which is
-
basically sort of like the SoHo or Shibuya of Hong Kong and we are
-
with one of the biggest
-
taste-makers and influencers in Hong Kong, Kevin Poon.
-
All right, well, let's go check out the shop.
-
Yeah, let's come on in.
-
Yo, this place is dope.
-
12 years ago, when me and my partner Edison started the company.
-
We just wanted to curate stuff that was like hard to find and things
-
that we really liked.
-
So what do you think makes Hong Kong such a good place for
-
something like this?
-
There is no tax in Hong Kong so you can shop tax free.
-
That's one good thing.
-
It's a city built for consumers.
-
Shopping is a sport right here.
-
So what's the coolest thing you got in the store that you can show us?
-
Have you seen the Buscemi shoes?
-
Like tri-colour waves?
-
Yo, that's crazy.
-
I have not.
-
Exotic skins?
-
Nope.
-
We're about to go to your cafe.
-
Yeah, let's do this. Get a coffee.
-
We're here at Elephant Grounds Coffee. Salted caramel's pretty bomb.
-
This was one of the installations that they did.
-
Shout out Quest Terrarium plus my boy Tim.
-
The level of execution of this coffee shop is so on another level.
-
I mean you got living plants on top of you.
-
It’s pretty elating.
-
Yo, Kevin thank you so much for showing us your spot.
-
If you can make it in Hong Kong, you can make it anywhere.
-
What's going on everybody?
-
We're on the Kowloon side of Hong Kong and if you know anything about
-
Fung Bros, you know that we love sneakers.
-
We got the International Crocs.
-
The lottos.
-
Nike wedges for the ladies, you know, give you that extra height
-
and you can hoop in them too.
-
We had to venture a little bit off Sneaker Street and we're at Popcorn
-
General Store. Now this is one of the most hidden streets where they
-
got that new, new exclusive stuff.
-
Not just sneakers, but they've got streetwear too.
-
Just check it out.
-
Yo son… the Supreme 5’s.
-
Basically, what we're trying to say is that if you like
-
street wear, sneakers and sportswear, Hong Kong is one of the best places
-
in Asia to go.
-
Boom!
-
Yuki, what do you think about this new implementation of gai dan zai?
-
I think it's really unique.
-
I really like it to go with bananas, cream and chocolate sauce.
-
Would you say it's ho sik?
-
Very ho sik, ho ho sik.
-
So what are you gonna do the next time you come to Hong Kong?
-
Eat with me.
-
So we are at Bo Innovation in Wan Chai Hong Kong,
-
on the Hong Kong Island side with our friend Michelle.
-
I heard they call it ‘extreme Chinese’.
-
Let's do it.
-
All right, one shot, foam. Cheers.
-
It disappeared in like three seconds.
-
How close to pei dan did it taste?
-
It tasted more like ginger than pei dan.
-
I ate the foam and it was gone like whoa.
-
Our chef designed it after ancient drawings of the emperor's cup
-
and the way you drink this is with two hands, that is Chinese culture,
-
and you lean back and you look at the heavens when you drink your wine.
-
I just drank Moutai from an Emperor's cup.
-
That is pretty Chinese.
-
Bo Innovation keeping us Asian.
-
It's more innovation than Apple.
-
What are those?
-
This is our fish course, it’s actually Red Mullet.
-
That's the name of the fish.
-
And it's been inspired by si jiu, the chinese black beans and peppers.
-
I'm just going black bean sauce with fish, I'm not doing pepper.
-
Okay, I'm doing pepper.
-
I'm going to just do pepper then.
-
Just doing pepper?
-
Party in my mouth!
-
Yo, that's really good.
-
This is fascinating.
-
It’s a deconstruction of a very classic cantonese dim sum and snack
-
Cha Siu Bao.
-
Sounds scary but let's do it.
-
To the molecular cha siu baos. Boom!
-
Just like pop! In your mouth.
-
It's like a balloon.
-
What is that?
-
Cha siu blaowwww!
-
I'm eating at a three-star Michelin restaurant with Michelle.
-
Come try it with me.
-
What's going on everybody we're here at PMQ. This is a brand
-
new creative space out in the SoHo district of Hong Kong.
-
Get up.
-
This place has been re-purposed for cool art.
-
And there's always something going on, let's check it out.
-
Help!
-
I'm caught in your web of lies.
-
Hey is this iPhone or Android?
-
Sorry, David, I can't hear you. You're breaking up.
-
David are you ready to make some cotton candy man?
-
The more you run, the more you have fun, I'm with it.
-
How much cotton worth?
-
Oh my God.
-
Pretty good though. Record breaking.
-
Cotton candy manufacturing.
-
Joining us today we have our TV host friend from Taipei. Rima.
-
Hello I'm Rima from Taipei and I'm excited to be in Hong Kong.
-
Let's go.
-
Joining us we have our new-school Hong Kong socialite friend Virginia.
-
You guys are gonna love this place. They’re doing really cool stuff with Chinese food.
-
Let’s eat.
-
Stir fried beef and egg on top of quinoa.
-
Here we have flower crab on sticky rice. I’m gonna get me a crabby patty.
-
I like the sticky rice.
-
And last but not least introducing, truffle xiao long bao.
-
Wow, a lot of soup in there.
-
Hey… good huh?
-
We're refueled, we're refreshed, on to the next spot.
-
Cheers.
-
What's going on guys? We're in the SoHo district of Hong Kong
-
and we're at one of the coolest spots in the entire city, Little Bao.
-
We're here with Taiwanese representative Rima.
-
We're here with Aussie representative Cici. Let's go eat.
-
All right, right here, I got the pork-bellied bao, that's thick.
-
The drunken clam with mashed potato.
-
What?
-
Drunken clam by the drunken master.
-
Don't hurt him.
-
I got the beef bao. Those buns are crazy!
-
Even got eggplant salad.
-
The balance between
-
the pickled onion and the fatty pork belly, that's bomb.
-
I’ve had drunken clams before,
-
but never with mashed potato. Fits pretty well.
-
I like it.
-
I'm not gonna lie, I don't recognize too many names on here,
-
but I do know ASAP Rocky.
-
Yo David, we should check out Clockenflap.
-
We might have to.
-
We are at Clockenflap, which is Hong Kong's largest music festival.
-
It's a three-day music event and I never knew Hong Kong even had this.
-
What's going on? We're here with Dough Boy, a local rapper
-
and producer that we personally know and have worked with.
-
Yo, Dough Boy, what's it like to be in the local music scene?
-
There's a lot more that goes on at Hong Kong besides shopping
-
and all the food and everything.
-
Music here is popping.
-
They got everything in Hong Kong, even ASAP Rocky.
-
And now presenting the new hit single,
-
Fung Bros and Dough Boy, Never Like This.
