I just can't get the image out of my head. I think that was like
head. I think that was like I'm going to take the train, the bullet train to Hong Kong.
>> It's so good.
>> It's kind of insane. It's the last ticket, so I don't know if we can get it or not.
>> Hey guys. So, I'm currently in Hong Kong and I'm heading to Shenzhen. I've been
in Hong Kong for like 4 days now and I'm just really excited to go get some Chinese food in China. Yeah, it's going to be a day trip. Almost a day trip. I'm
going to go there, have fun, sleep the night, and then head back the next day.
Thank you.
>> I just got to Shenzhen and we are here right now and I'm going to have some Shenzhen hot pot. So excited. I'm
actually really really hungry. So I'll
show you what we have.
First, I need to make the sauce that goes with the fish. And they already had a sauce, but I just made another one.
This isn't any type of fish. It's crispy
fish. So, when you eat it, it's like crispy. It was a very interesting taste
crispy. It was a very interesting taste for me. And you dip it in the sauce and
for me. And you dip it in the sauce and you eat it like this.
Good.
And now here comes the challenge.
Roasted pigeon and passion fruit shot.
This first bite is very juicy.
It tastes like a mix of chicken and picking duck. Very interesting taste.
picking duck. Very interesting taste.
It's good.
You don't like it? It's not that I don't like it. It's just that I keep thinking
like it. It's just that I keep thinking it's a pigeon.
It's a bird. We're eating a bird.
Chicken is a bird. Picking duck is a bird. But it's just that I've never had
bird. But it's just that I've never had pigeon before. This is my first time.
pigeon before. This is my first time.
So, it was very crispy on the outside.
Which one do you prefer? Picking duck
over this?
>> Of course, I prefer pecking duck. I
don't think you can compare pecking duck with this. The pigeon itself is smaller,
with this. The pigeon itself is smaller, so there's not much meat. And then take a shot of this.
Oh, that's good. Passion fruit. There's
so many pigeons in Korea. They banned
pigeon meat in Hong Kong. Now, I can say that I've had pigeon before. I think the pigeon meat was actually really good, but it just in my head I kept having
this image of a pigeon. So, I'm like h it's good, but h I didn't know what to feel. But yeah,
cuz I see a lot of pigeons in Korea on the streets and they're not clean, too.
So, I was like, m it's good.
Very, very contradicting feeling that I had. But it was good.
had. But it was good.
>> This is so interesting.
>> What?
>> The fish.
>> Yeah.
>> I just got done eating and the fish was actually really good. And the pigeon was very, very interesting. Now I can say I tried pigeon before. I don't think they sell that in Korea. So, this was my only
chance to try it out. And I did. I just
can't get the image out of my head. I
think that was like difficult for me to swallow. But the
taste was actually pretty good. So now
we're going to head to Hu Jo, which is next to Shenzhen, and we're going to go check out a tea house.
Hey guys. So, I just got a Starbucks and this is hot chocolate, but it's iced because I don't drink hot at I know it's winter, but I never drink hot cuz I feel
like it's kind of watered down. So,
right now we're at the station and we're going to take the train to Hey Joe.
So, we just got here and we are going to walk to the place where there's a lot of tea leaves or tea farm. And it already looks so pretty. So, I'm excited for the pictures.
It's so pretty here and I got to take so many cute pictures and cute videos which you can see on my Instagram account. I
also took a cinematic video for you to see. Here it is.
see. Here it is.
Hi. So, I just got to my hotel after the tea farm, and it was so so pretty. The
hotel is actually so pretty, too. So,
let me show you. It has the view of the lake, and all the Chinese architecture was lit up, which made it so much more prettier. And I'm so hungry. So, I'm
prettier. And I'm so hungry. So, I'm
going to go get more hot pot. This is
not just any hot pot. It is porridge hot pot. So, I came to eat seafood hot pot
pot. So, I came to eat seafood hot pot with like they make porridge on the bottom and then you basically eat hot pot with porridge, if you know what I'm saying. I'll show you later when I go
saying. I'll show you later when I go in. But I'm so excited because I love
in. But I'm so excited because I love hot pot. I love porridge and I love
hot pot. I love porridge and I love seafood. So, I'm really excited. But
seafood. So, I'm really excited. But
this place is so popular that I had to wait for 1 hour. And did you know restaurants in China will give you hot water for you to rinse out your plate and your bowls before you eat? Well, now
you know. You also get to make your own sauce here at this hot pot restaurant.
And they also have instructions for you to make different styles of hot pot sauce, but I just went with what I always do. They're making the porridge
always do. They're making the porridge hot pot with a pumpkin base and a lot of seafood inside. I'm so excited to try
seafood inside. I'm so excited to try this because it looks absolutely delicious.
I took my first bite and as you can see from my reaction, I love love loved it.
So, this is fried tofu.
I also ordered different kinds of side dishes that goes with the porridge.
>> Oh, this is crazy. Like, it's so good. I
think it was really worth the wait.
>> Yeah. How long did we wait for?
>> An hour.
I just got back to my hotel and honestly that food was so good. I would give it a 10 out of 10. When I go back to Korea, it's definitely going to be on the back of my mind. That was honestly the best food I've ever had the past few weeks.
You know, it's it was so good. It was
like actually so good. But I'm going to go to sleep and I will take you on a trip tomorrow to Shenzhen. Good night.
So, I just packed up and put on my makeup and I'm going to a cafe in Shenzhen today. So, we're going to move
Shenzhen today. So, we're going to move from Hu Jo to Shenzhen.
This is the view of the hotel. It's kind
of crazy.
It's nice, right? Staying in Hu Jo was honestly so nice because it was so relaxing and healing. I didn't have anything on my mind. There's not a lot
of people and there's a lot of nature actually. It's kind of crazy how big it
actually. It's kind of crazy how big it is.
It's actually really really cold um here right now. Um I wonder
right now. Um I wonder wonder how cold it is. It's actually not that bad. It's like 13° I think. I just
that bad. It's like 13° I think. I just
didn't wear warm enough. This is a coconut milk Chinese brand that I really, really like. I always drink this all the time. I'm just waiting on our
bride to Shenzhen.

The steak is really good. How do you usually eat your steak? Medium rare
Indian.
>> Really?

>> I eat it rare. So, I just finished eating and that was actually so delicious. I'm a little tipsy right now
delicious. I'm a little tipsy right now cuz I had a lot of wine and I am so ready to get some coffee. We just came to this coffee called So,
anyways, I really like their coffee.
It's really strong. So yeah, I need to get my ticket to go to Hong Kong, but it's the last ticket, so I don't know if we can get it or not.
So, I'm currently at the station and I'm going to take the train, the bullet train to Hong Kong. But I thought um it was going to take a while to get inside.
So, I'm here like an hour early. I
thought it was going to take a long time because like you know you have to go through immigration and stuff but apparently you don't have to do that here. You do that after you get off in
here. You do that after you get off in Hong Kong. But when I came here I did
Hong Kong. But when I came here I did that in Hong Kong and I didn't do it in Shenzhen. So I thought oh whenever you
Shenzhen. So I thought oh whenever you leave you have to do immigration. So I
got here an hour earlier but immigration's at Hong Kong. So I have to wait an hour until boarding the train.
Hey. So, um, yesterday I got back and then I fell asleep cuz I was like so tired. So, I wasn't able to take an
tired. So, I wasn't able to take an outro, but I mean this is the outro. Um,
it's the next day and today we're in Hong Kong and I'm going to spend the rest of my travel in Hong Kong and go back to Korea. So, um, I hope you really
