BEER / WINE DRUNKEN HOTPOT & Suckling Pig in Hong Kong

This is the most theatrical hotpot place I've ever been to Hi, good morning That smells so good I knew something smelled really good when I walked off the subway That's what I absolutely love about Hong Kong wherever you go the aroma of food It's just just it's always there So when I told my friends I was coming to Hong Kong told me I had to eat the local suckling pig the restaurant I had to go to was a place called Seventh son, which I'm looking for right now because they cook the suckling pig in two different ways. So make it for breakfast Here it is to suckling pig because one is just not enough. It's cut in two different ways So this one the skin is cut off and then the fat is trimmed from the skin and it's placed back onto the pig And this one is just chopped into pieces. So this will have a lot more of the fat on there It's gonna be a little more greasy, but I think it's gonna be slightly more flavorful I think from now on when I'm eating bacon for breakfast, this might be the only thing I can think of As much as I would love to I couldn't eat these two pigs by myself So but a bunch of people to you with me so a perfect table of ten Well nine sorry, but we're gonna take down these two, but you guys think we can do it, right? Yeah Look at the crispy skin and tap it That's a good sound So this is the pig with the fat still attached to it, like I said, this one is gonna be a little more greasy but it's gonna be Definitely more flavorful because of the fat content. Look at that Whites meat under the golden crusty skin with that little layer of fat and then of course the bones here the ribs Most flavorful bite I'm guessing outside of the skin is gonna be right here Right where the bones are look out that's roasted and then the other pig the way they cut it They scrape the fat off the skin and what you get here is basically a little porky chip right there Not a lot of fat on there. So here you're really tasting the skin So this this way of cutting it is much more emphasis on the crunchiness crispiness of skin less on the grease So you can eat more of the pig and then of course glistening juicy meat So this one what you do is you eat the skin first and then they're gonna tear the meat apart and serve the meat Later, so this one how you eat it is you take a little slice of the pancake Take a piece of the skin put it on top a little hoisin sauce and then just a sprinkle of sugar And that's it So the method of eating the pig skin, it's kind of like you would eat a Peking duck But the only difference is there's no veggies on here, but method very simplistic first bite of bacon in the morning. Oh My god Wow I've had many Roast pigs in my day I've never had one with skin this light and crispy before even the ones I've had in the Philippines. The skin wasn't as Chippy as this. I mean it really takes no effort biting into this and really no greasiness whatsoever If you ever ever want a bite of the juiciest crispiest pig skin This is the place to go Listen to that. It's literally like I'm reaching into a bag of pigskin chips and Popping into my mouth. I do admit it is a little better with the hoisin sauce and a bit of sugar but on its own Still marvelous So now what they're gonna do after we ate the pig skin is they're gonna take this and basically tear apart the meat for us So they chop up the pig and that's the leftover meat and that's also gonna be great eating This roast is so well that most of the bones you can just crunch through and eat it The meat itself is also really flavorful that flame really penetrated the skin It penetrated all the way through because they're rotating as they're cooking and wherever that flame lit You want to eat that? Like I said the best part right by the bone best part It's like eating a little porky rib And the sweet smoky flavor is almost unbearable. The way they cook this pig It basically tastes like the best char siu, the best ribs, the best roast pig all together in one Basically when you walk into a Chinese barbecue shop and you see all those different types of meats hanging there This is like eating all of them at the same time in it. It is absolutely mind-blowing I mean the skin is definitely the best part that the highlight of the pig but then when you eat more you get down to the meat to the bones the flavor just drowning you in this ocean of juice and Smoke and savoriness and sweetness basically everything you love about pork Everything you love about bacon, you'll find it in this one little bite Things were a little blurry after after the whole suck me pig meal I just completely fell into a coma just woke up and next thing you know, it's dinnertime. There's a hotpot place I really really want to try because it's supposed to be one of the best hotpot places in Hong Kong And they have a very unique broth made out of wine Of course, I don't drink but I'm pretty excited about that and I think it's around here somewhere Drunken pots it's kind of fitting right? Some people think I look like the guy from Drunken Master. No, I'm gonna go eat at Drunken Pot Before I even try the hotpot I mean you got to give it up to this place for the view. Look at that. Never ate hotpot and stirred out into this before like seriously, I Would not be feasting on some drunken hotpot and then go and stir down this window Just saying but gosh, that's awesome. And here is the menu And these are all their signature pots the drunken pot, which is their signature the ultimate drunken pot Wow, so unlike other hotpot places I've been to inside the broth already There's a bunch of ingredients some of them are loaded up on seafood some with lobster and truffles and there's one here beer soup Beer and wine is couple ingredients You don't really find a lot in hotpot broth, but I got to try it out here and see how it is So we'll do the drunken pot, which is their signature. Of course this pot with a beer in the wine beef platter Seafood platter some pork neck Spam egg noodles lamb Two different types of hot pots and this pot is gonna be lit on fire. All right, go ahead maestro And they extinguish the fire by adding broth into the fire and our poor fire is gone He added dry ice into it, so that's all smoky and mysterious So this thing does the most theatrical hotpot place ever been to they got a fire show There's a smoke show and then they seal everything off That's cool. Like it's you might think it's a bit over the top. I loved it. This is the feast right here This is everything everything we got for dinner This pot is their signature drunken pot And of course, that's why they had the whole smoke and fire show then we have their wine and beer pot over here This is gonna be a feast for the senses the ages the elements like this is everything I ever wanted a hotpot on a table Let's eat. Look at that whole papaya with shrimp inside. This is reminiscent of something I had in Vietnam on the side You have the mala with fish maw on the side. Also is the lobster? Tomato half a lobster. That's a tomato a sauté broth And finally, we have a clear beef brisket broth this next pot as soon as I get closer You're you you would feel a little dizzy because there's so much alcohol Permeating from the broth and this one the corner is oxtail wine broth. Look whole chunks of oxtail Next right beside it chicken and Chinese wine Chunks of chicken can smell the wine from a mile away Beside that is the clam and sake finally fish and beer Wow I mean they do not skimp on the ingredients in these pots I mean these pots are not cheap like just getting these pots alone They cost about 30 to 50 US dollars and I love what they do with the Angus. Look at this It's a meat curtain basically and behind the meat curtain the land of hotpot and Joining me my friend Jamie and my friend Jimin what's really cool about this place is that they give you two sets of chopsticks You got a longer one Where you can use to kind of get your stuff in the pot and a short one for eating. Also, this really cuts down on Contamination so you don't get sick First thing I got to do is try all the different broths. So excited about this Wow, the brisket broth very peppery tons of beef flavor The whole papaya one smells really fruity obviously Hmm. Oh, that's good. It's basically slightly sweet papaya broth with a hint of alcohol. I could drink that as a soup right now. Oh The flavor of the satay will just knock you off your feet that is thick and it's deep and it's delicious the lobster tomato broth That's really good too. Fresh tomatoes for sure and that great lobster flavor is present in every single ounce of that soup. Oh I'm out. Oh, man guys if you're not like at least level 10 black belt ninja kung-fu Ultimate master at spice do not order that that is spicy Hmm love the oxtail soup Clam broth. I don't really taste much of the clam. I taste a lot of the wine not much of the clam The chicken wine broth again Don't taste much of anything. I Think all the four wine broths The oxtail is the best but nothing touches the signature pot So if you come here definitely get the signature drunken pot some of the best soup bases I've ever had. I Don't even know which one to dip it in. I love them all so much. I'm gonna do the papaya Love that papaya broth. Beef melts in your mouth slightly sweet from the papaya That's amazing. I want to taste the brisket that's been cooking in the brisket broth That's fantastic. I wish they're potatoes. I really wish their potatoes would cut a little thinner but Spam it's gonna be awesome in that spice Dip it in a little of my sauce Even better I Love these things. These are little jellies. They have zero calories if you want to lose weight eat some of this I mean this will fill you up probably use more calories eating this and this thing has Of course, I'm dipping in a fast. So that negates that It's crunchy as noodle is I love it. This is the clam that's been cooking that clam broth since it sat on the table I've been eyeing this for a while. The oxtail has been boiling in this broth Look how easily this thing falls apart The oxtail in the wine broth Out of this world not a bad buy so far. This is definitely already one of my favorite hotpot experiences ever. Oh yeah, come here, baby. This is one of my favorite sides right here with the spam, bean sprouts, and the fish maw Eating a hotpot is one of the few times I ever say the words. I love spam Those of you don't like spam trust me put it in a hotpot. You're gonna love it one of my favorite parts of hotpot stew of potato And this one's been stewing in the papaya mixture dunk it a little bit of my sauce Potato but one of the best ways to eat potato ever is that Green dumpling Soybeans little chive little shrimp. Oh Absolutely delicious my favorite seafood razor clam is cooked in the clam broth with wine There's a dumpling I've been wanting to try check it out mapo tofu dumpling All right, I can taste there's tofu in here, but really not much of a mapo tofu flavor kind of disappointing little dumpling Now I'm gonna make it more ma and more la I'm gonna add some nummy and spicy from my from my dipping sauce to it. Sometimes you got to help these things along Much better noodle time I'm putting all this into the brisket pot because my brisket broth has gained some amazing flavor Put some brisket broth in here Lay a few slices of beef on top little tofu Hot pot beef noodle soup Noodles are still nice and al dente That brisket broth felt like a cow sat in there for like an hour Nothing better than slurping a little bowl of noodle soup Drinking your broth at the same time after a fantastic There are a few foods I can satisfy you like a good hot pot meal and probably the best broth I've had around the world ever Is right here ingredients are fresh as with most restaurants in Hong Kong is a little pricey But I feel like you really got to try this because I feel like they're their broths and their soup bases in the way They put in everything.
