living room restaurant calgary
a lot of people aren't aware that it has a star. that really looks like hong kong. - she looks like a local. / - she really does. this whole building is a mall. it's the largest building. - really? / - the restaurant is a chain. but we don't have to travel far to get there. it's easy to get there before going to the hotel. it is. there is no need to go far.
before going to your hotel, visit this 1-star michelin restaurant. - they're lining up. / - really? - however, it's very affordable. / - amazing. that must mean that the chef is very well-known. of course. he used to work at a hotel... he has experience working in 5-star hotels. he set up a dim sum restaurant afterwards.
people are going wild. - the line actually isn't too bad. / - you're right. it's not that busy. this is the line. that lady is still here. let's take a look at the menu first. hi. thank you. english, please. there are so many foreigners. - hwangbo. / - yes?
everything looks so good. first off, the dim sum... - this is a must. / - just order. i'm going to order all of this. - how about this? / - i'll order what i like. today, it'll be the michelin full course. okay. let's go with the michelin full course. that looks so good. jea, i'll let you sit next to me. take a seat.
thank you. you just check the order off and eat? yes, you can check off the menu as you wait in line. i have ordered everything good. the final dish is my favorite. it will be a twist. twist. there's also another favorite of mine. what is it? it's what i love the most.
- it's a spicy sauce. / - chili oil. i dip all my dim sum in here. it's my dip of choice. i even add this to rice. - isn't it good? / - yes. (introducing hwangbo's full michelin course) - what is that? / - it's a health food. you said you don't want to eat healthy, so i ordered it. gosh. you ordered this for my health?
how do i eat this? - ta-da. / - it's rice. - is this kind of medicinal sticky rice? / - yes. that's right. and it has chicken inside. it's okay, right? try dipping it. it's very sticky. it's glutinous rice with steamed chicken... it kind of...
tastes very medicinal. are there medicinal herbs inside? isn't the sauce great? (the taste doesn't exactly seem to suit me) (surprise) here we go. i really like this. this one has pork and shrimp. at first, you think all dim sum tastes the same...
but then you realize why people come here. - it's so big. / - only $12 for all this? - let's try them first. / - that's so affordable. i love this. the outer layer is thin but tasty. be careful, you'll burn yourself. how thin is it? how can this compare to anything in korea? the food seems very affordable. - it really is. / - right.
just because it has a star, it's not expensive. it's soft and i don't usually eat food without meat... - but why is it so good? / - isn't it good? (gobbling up) this is unbelievably thin. it is, right? there's a peanut inside. yes, something like that. this place is seriously good.
this one is pork and shrimp. it's so good. this one's amazing. this is too good. - it's the shrimp. / - that one is so good. it's packed tightly with shrimp. - isn't it good? / - it's here. when i first came here... i ate so much that these steamers were stacked high.
i could eat 10 steamers of this. - you could easily eat 10. / - you could. i'm curious about this one. we have to taste this one too. the exterior looks like a bun but it has stuffing inside. wait. what is this aroma? - it's amazing. / - oh, my god. (the aroma is mouth-watering enough) (streusel bun)
the smell of butter is incredible. it's barbecue. this is it. is it your favorite? the texture is... she's like a child. like a streusel, the bun is slightly sweet. yet, it's filled like a dumpling. - is it sweet and savory? / - it's usually the last to eat.
this is worthy of that michelin star. - it's so good. / - it is. it's kind of a like a vegetable bun. inside, it's like a dumpling. it's crispy on the outside but inside... - there's pork sauce. / - that's my favorite. - that looks good. / - that looks so good. the quality of the bun... it's seriously insane.
(chomp) (hehe) this one costs 21 hong kong dollars. - that's approximately $3.10. / - no way. - so each one... / - $3.10 for 3 buns? yes. - it's so cheap. / - it's so affordable (the dish with a twist) - ta-da. / - what is that?
i prepared this for you. i don't think jea can handle this. you're not good with food like that, right? - this is... / - that's too much for me. - but... / - they're so big. - why are the feet so big? / - that's too big. - the palms. / - they're bigger than in korea. you have to eat the palm. this part here.
- you mean the meat part here? / - yes. it's very tasty. i normally don't eat chicken feet either. but my friends recommended this so much and the meat was so tender. now, i eat more than my hong kong friends. - should we do a high-five? / - no. oh, come on. let's try it. oh, my...
hi, it's nice to meet you. hello. it's way too big. they shook hands. i can't eat chicken feet either. (yummy) the marinade is awesome. it's so tender that it taste like milk. you get what i mean, right?
it's very plump. there's no odor. it's super tender. it's kind of like abalone sauce. the sauce is actually really good. (chicken feet for hwangbo, dim sum for jea) i want to act like i can't eat stuff like this. i guess it's too late now. you should be adventurous at least once on a trip. - you might realize you like it. / - looks tasty.
it's so plump. - it's really tender. / - it is. well, it's worth giving it a try. that's right. this was the best. we didn't have to go out of our way to come here. - plus it's a michelin restaurant. / - that's right. this is what we call... hong kong twist.
this really was a twist. hong kong has a twist. this is just the beginning. we're heading to soho now. - what do we take there? / - we walk? ♪ walking all the way to the sky ♪ this place is too famous. this is soho. - i used to live near here. / - that's right. are we here for shopping?
it's a place for shopping and food. i like old buildings like this. the two times i came to hong kong, i never saw anything like this. they're called mid-level escalators. - the world's longest escalator. / - really? - wasn't a movie shot here? / - "chungking express." - it's a really famous place. / - that's right. it's the longest escalator in the world.
- really? / - yes. look. i want to go there. - we're here to go there. / - really? this is amazing. it's uphill but there are buildings everywhere. hong kong style. this place is famous for egg tarts. but i don't like this place. a lot of korean people go there.
but i don't recommend it. (then where is hwangbo's favorite place?) here, you can buy hong kong souvenirs to friends. it's a shop where you can feel hong kong culture. let's go. (hello) - what's that? / - teacups. - can feel the hong kong culture? / - it's pretty. - you can buy souvenirs too. / - it's a souvenir shop.
- they sell traditional products. / - yes. - that's truly hong kong style. / - they are beautiful. and the prices are reasonable? they are designer goods so they are not that cheap. this goes perfect with my pants. - isn't this pretty? / - you should buy it. there are underwears. you can buy them for friends.
many apparently do that. i wish i had a boyfriend i could buy these for. you have to buy to get a boyfriend. - oh, really? / - didn't you know? - should i buy 10 then? / - otherwise... we can never buy any. this one looks fancy. this is pretty. hwangbo... - this one looks fancy. / - let's buy it.
we're shopping here. can i try it on? - i don't want to try it. / - why not? i look good in everything so i buy too much. oh, my god. try them on. i don't want to try any on. (i won't try them on to control impulse buying) it'll be embarrassing if it doesn't fit me. i have a big butt so it'll be tight.
(there's a mirror in front of the fitting room) if we match these... this is my fashion look. would guys ask for my number or not? challenge! (look at her) (oh, my goodness) (she catches people's eyes everywhere) are you coming out? you look pretty. that's pretty!
(ta-da!) - it's pretty. / - it suits her. - women can have fun like that. / - right. but men wouldn't go there and do the same thing. right. "you look perfect in that outfit." - thank you very much. / - thank you. bye-bye. - bye-bye. / - bye.
what should we do? it's raining. (raindrops are falling in the afternoon) now that it's raining, it feels like... - we're in a hong kong movie. / - it's beautiful. it looks like a scene from a movie. hong kong is good even when it rains. (and...) i had a hard time when i lived here. (i want to go there even if it rains)
i came here very often. i'll show you. look. - was it your house? / - that was my room. - where? / - this one. - i used to live on the 3rd floor. / - really? - really? / - it felt somewhat emotional. - i feel like crying. / - you cried? i almost cried too. she's crying again.
(the place has unforgettable memories for her) so you lived here. living here, you can see people partying so i really wanted to party too. you used to live in a great part of town. by the way, i like this place. - it's new. / - hi. - hi. / - gosh. did you see that? - are you happy that he said hi? / - yes.
when i lived here, this wasn't here. apparently, this place is popular now. let's go in and avoid the rain. here? okay. it's raining a lot. (a place to take a break when the weather's bad) (that's the beauty of travelling)
