A Classic Hong Kong Diner Dish That Came from British Rule

A Classic Hong Kong Diner Dish That Came from British Rule

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
Lucas Sin, chef of Nice Day Chinese and Junzi Kitchen, explains the fascinating and unique history behind diners in Hong Kong, known as Cha Chaan Tengs. As he explains, Lucas makes macaroni & ham soup, stocking milk tea, toast, and scrambled eggs. The British colonized Hong Kong for 100 years, and in that time, a mixture of Chinese and British culture emerged, embracing ingredients like ketchup instead of tomato sauce, and utilizing western utensils instead of chopsticks. Today, cha chaan tengs are at the forefront of culture, pushing diner food in new, unexpected, and exciting directions. Erin: Macaroni soup has become a staple in Southeast Asia because of trade and migration. In my country chicken stock is made from scratch or from stock powder and water, then mixed with milk, macaroni and vegetables. Sooo good on a rainy day or winter night.

I got super, uncomfortably high about 10 years ago and I made a French press of coffee but I used really strong black tea instead of water and it was amazing.
I'm hurt, because this entire time I thought I was a super genius, avant-garde chef and you mean to tell me people from Hong Kong have been doing this forever?

Love this guy! Such a great edition. Only thing is that I sense just a slight amount of kind of negatively toward GB and their colonialism. Say what you will about it, but are Hong Kong or India any better off after their independence from GB?

Thanks for explaining this totally local HK dish! One thing though, the pots Lucas mentioned are probably not the ones shown in the video, those were for making another dish called clay pot rice, instead cooking macaronis

he should be serving these simple comfort meals in chinese neighborhoods instead of the generic gentrified americanized crap at his restaurants in gentrified overpriced crapholes. he'd be making much more.

I can't wait for your Hong Kong Pastry series. The only Asian style pastries I know and love are curry beef pastries, and Pork Song pastries. If I see anything with durian, ill buy the hell out of it.

Gawddamn this is some food porn. Nothing like a fine ass chef, who can whip up some orgasmic dishes. I don't eat pork or drink milk, but this had me, pinching my nipples.

The part with the how to make the half coffee half milk tea is great. I ve been looking for videos on that and it s just nice to see it presented pretty clearly.

I dont think I've ever seen one of the videos with a chef who is more passionate or knowledgable than this guy was about a nostalgic place and food, great watch.
