- There was a time when you could find dai pai dongs, or hawker stands that sell food at low prices, along every street in Hong Kong. Now, only a few remain. Join us as we speak to Irene Lee, the owner of one of these dai pai dongs, and learn more about her famous tomato macaroni soup.

Irene is, without a doubt, an icon. Love her energy!
How much did she pay Vice for this ad?
@@andrewjones575 I guess 45 years of hard work, a good heart, and maybe a personality not jealous of other's success haha
@@perrohuskkk6219 She'd have paid them $thousands for this ad posing as a documentary.
@@andrewjones575 Ohhh yeh you are right...I should have focused more on whether / how much she has paid for this video instead of appreciating her hard work throughout these years. Thank's mate
@@perrohuskkk6219 Yes, instead of being tricked into thinking this ad is a real doc.
Her passion n love for her work can be seen through her shiny eyes when she speaks. The happiness coming from her customers became her source motivation and I guess that explains why she can do it for 45 years
What a beautiful, hardworking woman. Her last few words made me emotional. All she wants is to continue her business, come up with new dishes, and watch her customers visit her shop and grow over the years. She lives a simple life, but it is a fulfilling life. All the best to her! I will visit next time I go to HK.
This ad worked on you.
i wish these businesses never die out..Dai Pai Dongs is unique in HongKong.
廣東也有大排檔
Absolutely one of my favorite places to eat in HK, there's something so uniquely tasty about their beef tomato noodle soups, it's so addicting. I hope this place continues to thrive and I hope Irene does too
Tomato and egg and all the variations of the dish are something people don't talk about when mentioning Chinese cuisine, but it's truly amazing in many forms.
That restaurant is kind of strange the way its built into the street and steps looks like a cool place to eat and her food looks delicious.
Watch the whole thing. This type of outdoor eating, called a Dai Pai Dong in Hong Kong, is very common throughout Asia.
Government really needs to revitalise the Dai Pai Dong culture here, an important part of our culture
If it's distinctively HK, they will erase it. They are slowly removing the border. Everyone will just be labeled as 大灣人 within PRC and both HK and Macau SARs. Ironically, the only real Hong Kongers are the ones outside of Hong Kong. Eventually there will only be 新港人 left to take advantage of what little benefits that HK has and ruin that too.
As a local, I highly recommend trying the (toast?) it's fried bread, egg, peanut butter, syrup and butter. So so so so gooodddd
All the best for future prospects
Even though I am and live in Canada of Chinese descent. It just brings me joy to see a little bit of my culture just beings me some comfort.
This is our comfort food, for breakfast or tea time, sooooo good
Looks so good
Visited in 2017 and just ate at Dai pai dong spots my whole trip. She’s rich in every sense. She dishes out killer grinds with the fam. Their family bond is awesome.
I'd love to eat there when i visit that place one day.
The address is here
2 Mee Lun Street, Central
中環美輪街2號排檔
Hong Kong
@@travelhomedad thank you! 🙇🏼♀️
That recipe looks like a great idea
Respect to this lady and her passion
I go to Sing Heung Yuen all the time! Love their lemon honey crispy bun! 😋
a very lovely place !
i miss Hong Kong so much!!!
Yuk Kin Fast Food in Sheung Wan will be my go-to; followed by this place. The dry curry fried rice in YK is to die for! While for this place, it's the macaroni!
i grew up with her cooking. LOVE HER!
Where is that place located?
Must try
I JUST LOVE LOCALS BEING TRUE
I miss going to this place SHY
God damn i miss home - this is one of the places you get in and get out. No fuss, no reordering just good food.
What this lady has is what most people wish for in their life: making an honest living and feeling joy doing it... I wish i were in hk 😁
Need to go look for this place next week 😂
I AM GOING TO EAT THERE NEXT TIME I AM IN HONG KONG FOR SURE !!!!!
I will too.
Yesterday when i looking for stall at pinterest, there's Hongkong Macaroni pict. That's so popular? I am curious how it taste
Must preserve this place. Hong Kong is losing its identity to commercialism. This is keeping the culture alive 👏
I love tomato macaroni
Share the address please, definitely want to hit this place up when I’m in HK again
its named Sing heung yuen i guess you can find it kn google maps or smth like that xD
2 Mee Lun Street, Central, Hong Kong
This be the place, the food on google maps looks amazing
Damn how u get blurred out the family photos? What's that story? She don't mess with them anymore at all
Some people want privacy
I think this tastes better for locals due to nostalgia factor. If you already spent thousands on air tickets, I suggest you go to the mid range or high-end seafood restaurants.
Ah! 8:52 is the international code of Hong Kong lol and the video lasts 8 minutes 52 seconds, and yes go to Sing Heung Yuen!!!
Address is:
2 Mei Lun Street, Central
中環美輪街2號排檔
is this.. a variation of bolognaise with macaroni....but more watery
where is this?
2 Mee Lun Street, Central, Hong Kong
HKers, please hang on to your dai pai dongs. In Singapore, our hawker scene is almost dead, killed by ridiculous rents.
6:35 Een mevrouw uit Zuid-Holland
Echt he
Very funny introduction
Focus on the video . Why you at comment section already
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Good content but the translation is so inconsistent. Exaggerates phrases that don't need to be but lack of description in certain things.
Im hk ez listened
You need to share this location, I have to try that macaroni for sure.
MEEE FROM CHINA!
Is she blue line or yellow line?
Looks yummy macaroni in tomato sauce bacon egg maybe cheese looks yummy maybe a crispy cheese layer on top that's what I would add.
Commies will close all these places and force you to eat roujiamo and luosifen
free hk
seblak
Well it looks like seblak for me
我地知佢拍拖佢爸爸媽媽都唔知😢

God bless
Jesus loves you
God bless you all , Jesus loves you all only he can save u repent and turn from your sins and accept Jesus as Lord and saviour and you will be saved. He is the only way to eternal life in heaven once you pass away its too late . ❤✝️🙌

What a crocodile tears of our hypocritical HK gov...
Yet another ad that's falsely presented as a documentary.
I don’t know why this is upvoted. There’s plenty of food docs out there just like this. Condescending for no reason.
@@yip2188 This isn't a real documentary. It's advertising one person & their restaurant.
@@andrewjones575 Yeah, because every food related video that shows the owner’s history, family, the story of origin for both the dish and the restaurant is an advertisement. Because advertisements are 9 minutes long. I almost forgot the part where she announced her two bowls for the price of one deal, Saturdays only, thanks for pointing that out in this ad.
@@yip2188 This is a 9-minute ad presented as a documentary. Real docs don't centre on one restaurant.
This place is a trap. I was visiting from Canada and heard raving reviews here. Took a 1 hr MTR just to be disappointed.
why what happened? im a regular there and its always amazing
Same, from Canada. I didn’t get the food. Loved the marmalade cat tho. The cat purposely stood still to allow tourists to take pictures. I don’t get why HK folks love restaurant-made instant noodles, spam slices or mac in soup. I heard it’s cuz they are too busy to make it at home? It’s honestly just regular mac, store bought chemical chicken stock, and canned tomatoes.
Giving birth in a kitchen seems unsanitary
🙄🙄🙄👏👏👏good job on being a privileged person who was born in a sanitary place!!
Another privileged first world person, who thinks that all children are born in sterile and clean hospitals. 😐
so much unhealthy food in Hong Kong! amazing
Wow! Noodles made from rat intestines classic Hong Kongese delicacy 🐀😋🤤
Spot the ignoramous. KKun-t
tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, tomato juice (i use V8) and ground hamburger meat makes the best GOULASH EVER... at least thats what we call it in the deep southern U.s!! and this looks identical to it!!!! 🤍🤍🤍
