like local traditional snacks in this area

This is a tofu like a silky soft tofu. And this is sugar. What do you guys think?

Good morning, everybody. You guys keep walk out, I will catch up

We're at the famous Big Buddha here in lantau island

Hong kong my best friend Alyssa and husband been came to visit us here in Hong Kong

So this week is going to be full of a mixture of touristy things and local things

We want to give them the best of local

So I feel like if you're travelling to Hong Kong is gonna be a good vlog to watch

There's this is gonna be a good vlog watch to get some ideas of some things to do

some things that are on the guidebooks and may be off so they came on

Saturday night we've done a couple things first, but this is our first leg thing of temples and more traditional stuff

We just found these hats

It's a beautiful day

It's not the end it's the journey yeah

Guys are trying to get to the Buddha. I just keep stopping to take photos and buy things

This brings back memories, eh yeah here we are seven years later exact same spot, but we both have husbands

Liked it so they put a ring on

Keep you safe and keep you out of those devil thing, evil. Thank you. Keep evil away.

so its kinda of like the eye

Don't use it, if it's broken just throw it away because it's something bad happens

then break that

My dad likes to wear those beans

so Tom wanted to buy him one from here

I mean that's kind of a cool idea to collect some from all over the world and stuff different meanings behind them

So just next to this main temple here you can get vegan or vegetarian Buddhist food

And vegetarian dim sum

a ton of wild cows. I don't know if they're really wild they're tagged

But there's a ton around here. Just walking around when you drive up here. You see them

just walking on the streets and hanging out just

Hang out here. It's another one there. They just freely walk around no one's controlling them

Just saw the giant Buddha, we saw the temple back there

And now we are heading to there's like this little shopping street full of little shops and snacks and we're gonna see what we can

Find there before heading to the cable car

One good thing I noticed about this area is they don't work you off like at most tourist places?

Especially in Canada like a theme park or something touristy

They would charge you a ton of money for everything

But the ice cream we had was about a dollar you had for like three four dollars

so yeah, everything's like priced really well and fairly Oh

Rough start and open on the rough start

He's highly considering start do it he's analyzing the situation

If you go straight or diagonal

And

there's even signs

Warning you not to do this. Very dangerous. Very dangerous.

He must critically analysed the exact path and timing in order to get through. Oh

Is he backing out?

There, is he backing out Oh

10 out of 10 everyone

Fans are going wild. I'm pretty sure this is his wife. any comments? Oh

That was

Such a nice day. So good highly recommend this place

I haven't been here since I went last time with Alyssa seven years ago, but

yeah, it's like

it's a lot to see a lot to eat a lot to do

and you can spend the whole day here

So we are

all sweaty I am so sorry

But we're back in the car we're gonna head to a supermarket right now and pick up some groceries for a barbecue tonight

we're just gonna hang at home

Karam on the grill

toms on the wine Alyssa's on the dancing

I've made two styles. My family likes it really crispy

And this was less so I don't know what you guys prefer today this morning something pretty exciting is happening

So too-faced is opening up here in Hong Kong finally

Finally finally. I'm so excited for that and they reached out to me and they wanted to come by and bring me a surprise

They said they couldn't just send it to me in the mail they need to be here

So I'm very curious what that's gonna be all about. Okay, what do you think? They're gonna

do

I can't figure out anything at all

Know it's going well. I think that they're

Going to bring something

large that won't fit in the mail Oh yeah true and

Maybe they want you to wear like a mascot?

No

Cuz I originally I thought they're going to bring someone to you and then to meet you but like I don't know

Anyone, that would come by like surprise

We are just making our way up the peak now

it is so interesting

It's so concentrated here, but then there's also so much green

so it's like a circle of green around and then all buildings in the center and then

The lake is like it's like a tootsie roll

Like the center the cheese on it

We always go back there how many times we've been there we always like going back there's a nice little restaurant there

We like to have brunch with Rosie sometimes, you can hike around there. The view is really really nice as you saw

It's definitely a must do when you come to Hongkong it that can be the number one tourist spot in hk

Now we are still in TST and there's like a promenade along the

Harbor here and it was newly renovated. It was closed for a while and just opened like two or three weeks ago

I want to say so I haven't even seen the newly renovated one

I'm here again for the first time just like the restaurant just now and that restaurant was really really good by the way we loved

everything

so

yeah, you're just a little sleepy too much food got another coffee and

We're very full. So we're gonna take a walk

Look at the lights by the harbour side, there is some statue. There's a Bruce Lee and

It's been really nice night walk. But there's a lot of people

We're currently at a ten thousand Buddha's monastery and we're walking up

It's just a lot of stairs a lot of Golden Buddha inside us all the way up the mountain

one other things you need to do when you come to Hong Kong is get foot massage and

My favorite place to do that here you can go anywhere

There's there's all kinds of different price range places

And one of my favorite though is 10 feet tall because they have really nice clean rooms

they have a good selection of English magazines and Chinese and

At their central location, you're going to order Froyo and smoothies those up, you can't here but they do have like some candy and

and different teas and stuff we're gonna have dinner after

we are going there

Chinese foot massages are really nice because your your foot is connected to so many areas in your body

we've been doing a ton of walking and it's just gonna make us feel like moving so

I'll get my stuff

Because you never liked English magazines are so expensive if yours are imported and they're always like late I always like

Now we're at our last stop of the day

Our favorite dessert place Lotus Garden is literally just down the street from Nante this pudding

baked sago lotus seed pudding and

This one sesame dumpling soup

It's just Alyssa and I today, we're out shopping in Causeway Bay we're going to there's going to be a mix of like

expensive malls and

Inexpensive malls, so we're going to go to some of the cheaper

We're gonna go to a cheaper mall cheaper

Like I'm gonna say is not a market but a relatively inexpensive mall right now called island beverly (?)

I'm gonna see soon as I get out here so love for right? Oh

This is totally different

It's always Island Beverly when you're in Hong Kong

If you look upstairs like up

You'll find a lot of these smaller malls that are just a whole bunch of boutique shop

A lot of the clothes are from Korea actually

You look like my wedding shoes, they are roger vivian, not vivier

Those are so cute. green

look who join us, we are having happy hour drinks and nachos and i got a coffee

Good morning guys. We're in central now. It's Alyssa, cameron last day

the last thing that we do, sorry its really loud here

We're eating the last foods that they want to eat first

We're stopping by a really famous an egg tart place here in central. Then we're gonna head to Tai kwun, which is an old prison

police living quarters and then we are

gonna go to man mo temple and cat street which is a street that sells into

Souvenirs and stuff and we're gonna finish it off at the night market and go to a Tai Pai dong is an outdoor restaurant

And today is baby yellow and blue day this place is famous for their milk tea

Which is a really popular drink here in Hong Kong, but how they became famous was. Oh the lines really long

Was it worth it. Yeah

Crazy long wow it continues over there

so they are really famous because they use a penny holes to filter the tea so its really fine

but i never try it

They went for a hot one

It's really good it's smoother so they're not as strong

its egg, egg yolk

try milk tea, siu mai

curry fishball?

we tried this, the tea egg and stinky tofu

This is Tom's favorite we are at Tai kwun right now

an old police station

prison cell

home for the

lease and their wives and families and

Courthouse so it's huge and they just transformed it into a Heritage Center slash Art Center like their performances

yeah, there's a lot of

Yeah different art different movies

Boutique shops cafes through the queue. The architecture is so nice

This is the prison cells

You

get to right your homework inside

Do you know multiplying Oh the multiple chart? Oh, yeah, we had those too

And you learned English yeah

This symbol means Double Happiness, so you give it to couples like forever love happy forever for two people

So usually during the wedding you see the symbol everywhere and people give gifts

Oh, this is for academics

or education and stuff

Right across the street from the temple over there is a little alleyway called Pat Street

And there's a lot of souvenirs and antiques there

we are on the ferry now, all the way to TST

ferry is something you have to do here, and it cost like 20, 30 cents

Over at temple street night market in between Jordan and yau ma tai, so there's this lines of people selling things snacks

There's a lot of fortune tellers and then a lot of outdoor tai pai dong where you can sit and eat

So we're gonna walk around here for a bit and then we're gonna grab dinner

I had so much fun with them this week and I really like seeing people discover new things

I actually discovered a lot of new things and tried some new foods

I think my favorite day was the Big Buddha day exploring that area and trying some new foods. There was really nice and

Walking along the harbor front and TST at night. It's also really nice

So if you live here

I'd love to know if you have any other recommendations that I missed in this video

also if you're more interested in Hong Kong food, I have a ton of episodes on just food, especially if you have a

Particular diet like you're vegan or something. There's an episode on that. So be sure to check it out

You're not from here, or you haven't been here then come visit us you will love it

Thank you so much for watching and I'll see you in my next video
