Kevin Travel embarks on a culinary adventure in Hong Kong, seeking out the city's famous beef noodles. Despite a rainy start, the weather clears, setting the stage for a delicious exploration. The journey begins at Nami noodle, where Kevin orders the highly anticipated beef noodles. He notes the restaurant's use of cash and Octopus payment options, a common practice in Hong Kong. Before diving into the main dish, Kevin observes intriguing condiments like chili oil and chili paste, eager to test them later. He also expresses interest in trying a hot Hong Kong-style milk tea and the renowned pineapple bun with butter. The beef noodle soup arrives, presenting a generous portion. Kevin first samples the broth, describing its flavor as uniquely sour yet appealing, with the vegetables also carrying a distinct sour note. He finds the noodles themselves to be plain, suggesting they are meant to be enjoyed with the flavorful broth. The beef is tender and rich, offering a salty counterpoint to the soup's sourness. Kevin then experiments with the chili oil and a mysterious condiment, which turns out to be fish sauce, adding a spicy and salty dimension to the meal. He concludes the beef noodle experience as delicious with a pleasant sourness. Next, Kevin heads to a local shop to try the hot milk tea, a recommendation from his viewers. He finds the shop a bit tricky to locate but is eager to sample the beverage. After a slight confusion about the price and payment (cash only here), he receives his milk tea. He notes its resemblance to Thai tea and finds it needs sugar to balance its strength. He adds sugar, appreciating the local touch of enjoying it sweet. Kevin finds the tea pure and good, though he considers the price a bit higher than expected for a local shop. His final mission is to find a pineapple bun with butter from a local bakery. He discovers Red Cherry bakery and inquires about the bun. He learns that butter is an additional charge and is prepared separately. He purchases the bun with butter, noting the generous amount of butter. He describes the experience as the sweetness of the bun balancing the richness and saltiness of the cold butter, creating a melt-in-your-mouth sensation. Kevin acknowledges it's not the healthiest snack but a worthwhile indulgence. He shares a tip for viewers: if you want a pineapple bun with butter, you need to specifically ask for it, as it's an add-on. He concludes his food hunt, promising more adventures.
