1
00:00:00,307 --> 00:00:01,701
- Oh, it is detached.

2
00:00:01,701 --> 00:00:03,135
Okay.

3
00:00:03,135 --> 00:00:04,576
Oh, wow.

4
00:00:04,576 --> 00:00:06,140
It's absolutely superb.

5
00:00:06,140 --> 00:00:09,473
I'm just gonna eat that all in one bite.

6
00:00:11,341 --> 00:00:13,924
(upbeat music)

7
00:00:16,607 --> 00:00:18,463
Good morning, everyone, it's Mark Wiens

8
00:00:18,463 --> 00:00:21,709
with migrationology.com in Hong Kong.

9
00:00:21,709 --> 00:00:24,047
This is our last day of the trip,

10
00:00:24,047 --> 00:00:26,051
our final day in Hong Kong.

11
00:00:26,051 --> 00:00:29,218
This evening, we fly back
to Bangkok back home,

12
00:00:29,218 --> 00:00:31,863
and so today, this morning,
I thought it would be

13
00:00:31,863 --> 00:00:35,035
a fantastic idea to take a little trip

14
00:00:35,035 --> 00:00:38,872
to the Aberdeen fish market,
which is on the opposite side

15
00:00:38,872 --> 00:00:41,621
of Hong Kong Island from the city,

16
00:00:41,621 --> 00:00:43,346
and go there to eat seafood.

17
00:00:43,346 --> 00:00:46,125
I just could not resist the opportunity

18
00:00:46,125 --> 00:00:47,942
to go one more food adventure

19
00:00:47,942 --> 00:00:50,440
on this round-the-world trip for food.

20
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,254
The bus station should
be just up ahead now.

21
00:00:53,254 --> 00:00:55,837
(mellow music)

22
00:00:58,540 --> 00:01:00,123
- [both] Thank you.

23
00:01:03,076 --> 00:01:05,997
- This is bus 69X, I
think it's an express bus,

24
00:01:05,997 --> 00:01:07,290
and it's more like a-

25
00:01:07,290 --> 00:01:09,192
It's more of a minibus,

26
00:01:09,192 --> 00:01:13,308
and we should be at the
Aberdeen fish market very soon.

27
00:01:13,308 --> 00:01:15,131
(mumbles)

28
00:01:15,131 --> 00:01:16,234
What was that?
- over air.

29
00:01:16,234 --> 00:01:17,151
- Over air.

30
00:01:32,429 --> 00:01:35,096
Driving underneath the mountain.

31
00:01:40,031 --> 00:01:40,864
Thank you.

32
00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:46,910
That literally only took exactly
seven minutes to get here,

33
00:01:46,910 --> 00:01:48,878
and just like that, we
drove under a tunnel

34
00:01:48,878 --> 00:01:52,130
under the mountain, and we
are on the opposite side

35
00:01:52,130 --> 00:01:53,797
of Hong Kong Island.

36
00:02:00,364 --> 00:02:01,500
Aberdeen fish market

37
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:03,440
is one of the main fish
markets in Hong Kong.

38
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,623
This is where a lot of
the seafood comes in,

39
00:02:05,623 --> 00:02:07,727
and a lot of the seafood here

40
00:02:07,727 --> 00:02:10,097
then is distributed around Hong Kong,

41
00:02:10,097 --> 00:02:11,152
but I'm glad to be here.

42
00:02:11,152 --> 00:02:13,917
We're gonna try to go to the
canteen, the restaurant first

43
00:02:13,917 --> 00:02:15,449
before it gets too busy.

44
00:02:15,449 --> 00:02:17,013
We're here pretty early right now,

45
00:02:17,013 --> 00:02:19,043
and then after that, hopefully
walk around the fish market

46
00:02:19,043 --> 00:02:20,126
a little bit.

47
00:02:25,594 --> 00:02:28,459
Navigating our way through
the road of trucks.

48
00:02:28,459 --> 00:02:31,039
These are all ice or fridge trucks

49
00:02:31,039 --> 00:02:34,956
that are distributing
seafood around Hong Kong.

50
00:02:46,393 --> 00:02:48,281
We walked around the fish
market for a little bit.

51
00:02:48,281 --> 00:02:50,564
A little bit confused, it's really wet,

52
00:02:50,564 --> 00:02:51,987
and they are just carting around,

53
00:02:51,987 --> 00:02:56,235
just tanks full of fresh
seafood, and fish, and lobsters,

54
00:02:56,235 --> 00:02:58,228
and crabs, and lots of shrimp,

55
00:02:58,228 --> 00:02:59,936
and I was a little bit confused.

56
00:02:59,936 --> 00:03:02,704
I'm not sure which one
is the actual restaurant.

57
00:03:02,704 --> 00:03:04,097
I'm not sure if there's
more than one restaurant,

58
00:03:04,097 --> 00:03:04,950
or if there's only one restaurant,

59
00:03:04,950 --> 00:03:05,892
but we've stepped in here.

60
00:03:05,892 --> 00:03:07,624
They said this one is the canteen,

61
00:03:07,624 --> 00:03:09,795
and this is a seafood restaurant,

62
00:03:09,795 --> 00:03:11,574
which is literally right in the middle.

63
00:03:11,574 --> 00:03:12,430
It's an indoor restaurant,

64
00:03:12,430 --> 00:03:14,465
but it's right in the
middle of the fish market.

65
00:03:14,465 --> 00:03:17,164
Just outside, there
are lots of fish tanks,

66
00:03:17,164 --> 00:03:18,774
and there's an aquarium of seafood,

67
00:03:18,774 --> 00:03:20,729
and right next to the ocean.

68
00:03:20,729 --> 00:03:22,786
The boats are docking right out there.

69
00:03:22,786 --> 00:03:25,146
They do have just a limited English menu,

70
00:03:25,146 --> 00:03:26,862
but this set, it looks almost exactly

71
00:03:26,862 --> 00:03:28,965
like what I wanted to eat anyway.

72
00:03:28,965 --> 00:03:32,570
For two, 598 Hong Kong
Dollars include steamed fish,

73
00:03:32,570 --> 00:03:34,070
scallops, abalone,

74
00:03:35,609 --> 00:03:36,587
crab.

75
00:03:36,587 --> 00:03:38,600
Seasonal vegetables, actually
this might be perfect.

76
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,767
I think we might just got
for this set right here.

77
00:03:49,406 --> 00:03:51,447
The first dish that has come out

78
00:03:51,447 --> 00:03:53,882
is the salt and pepper fried abalone.

79
00:03:53,882 --> 00:03:56,138
(laughs) I'm so excited to eat this,

80
00:03:56,138 --> 00:04:00,270
and you can see that
beautiful abalone shell,

81
00:04:00,270 --> 00:04:02,156
and then they have taken it out,

82
00:04:02,156 --> 00:04:05,689
and maybe it's lightly battered,
and then deep-fried it.

83
00:04:05,689 --> 00:04:08,651
As tempted as I am to eat
the entire thing in one bite,

84
00:04:08,651 --> 00:04:11,818
I think it would be best
since there are only-

85
00:04:11,818 --> 00:04:14,176
since I'm only having one
of them, to eat half of it,

86
00:04:14,176 --> 00:04:17,009
and then we can see what's inside.

87
00:04:24,650 --> 00:04:27,079
It's very similar to a scallop.

88
00:04:27,079 --> 00:04:30,382
It's like meaty and a little bit chewy.

89
00:04:30,382 --> 00:04:32,908
You can really taste the
black pepper on it too.

90
00:04:32,908 --> 00:04:36,056
I'm not really sure what are
all those little crispy bits,

91
00:04:36,056 --> 00:04:38,280
but maybe it's like caramelized,

92
00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:40,835
really, really crispy garlic.

93
00:04:40,835 --> 00:04:42,203
I'm not totally sure,

94
00:04:42,203 --> 00:04:45,120
but this is a lovely fresh abalone.

95
00:04:52,226 --> 00:04:53,861
Oh, abalone.

96
00:04:53,861 --> 00:04:55,361
You are wonderful.

97
00:04:58,182 --> 00:04:59,015
Thank you.

98
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:03,162
I think most of the main
dishes have just arrived.

99
00:05:03,162 --> 00:05:05,138
This food looks spectacular.

100
00:05:05,138 --> 00:05:08,362
The two main dishes are a
steamed fish, and a fried crab,

101
00:05:08,362 --> 00:05:10,791
both of which smell and look incredible.

102
00:05:10,791 --> 00:05:12,364
I'm gonna begin with the fish,

103
00:05:12,364 --> 00:05:15,240
and I'm not totally sure
what type of fish it was.

104
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,796
At first, I thought-

105
00:05:16,796 --> 00:05:18,074
take a look the eye.

106
00:05:18,074 --> 00:05:19,782
First I thought it was a grouper,

107
00:05:19,782 --> 00:05:22,319
but now it's looks kind
of like a circular fish,

108
00:05:22,319 --> 00:05:23,803
and a grouper is more of a-

109
00:05:23,803 --> 00:05:25,988
but the skin looks like a grouper,

110
00:05:25,988 --> 00:05:26,821
unless it's butterfly cut.

111
00:05:26,821 --> 00:05:27,801
I don't think so.

112
00:05:27,801 --> 00:05:28,918
One more dish arrived

113
00:05:28,918 --> 00:05:30,280
as I was about to take
a bite off the fish.

114
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:32,423
I had forgotten about the scallops.

115
00:05:32,423 --> 00:05:34,066
How could I forget about the scallops?

116
00:05:34,066 --> 00:05:35,738
Back to my bite of fish,

117
00:05:35,738 --> 00:05:38,139
and I'm gonna reach in
for this piece here.

118
00:05:38,139 --> 00:05:40,211
Look at all the shredded
green onions in here,

119
00:05:40,211 --> 00:05:43,628
and I love that soy sauce, steamed sauce.

120
00:05:44,492 --> 00:05:48,299
It looks incredible with
that swirl of fish oils.

121
00:05:48,299 --> 00:05:49,132
Okay.

122
00:05:58,554 --> 00:06:00,188
Wow.

123
00:06:00,188 --> 00:06:02,359
All that fish just melts in your mouth.

124
00:06:02,359 --> 00:06:06,725
It's like silky smooth,
and just dissolves.

125
00:06:06,725 --> 00:06:08,517
This fish is so good.

126
00:06:08,517 --> 00:06:11,775
What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna
take a little bit more of it

127
00:06:11,775 --> 00:06:15,531
to experience more, and
get some of that juice,

128
00:06:15,531 --> 00:06:17,106
and put it onto my rice.

129
00:06:17,106 --> 00:06:20,254
Set this right on top of my mountain-

130
00:06:20,254 --> 00:06:24,421
my cup shape of rice, which
I haven't even started yet.

131
00:06:27,428 --> 00:06:30,533
Steamed fish is one of
my absolute favorite ways

132
00:06:30,533 --> 00:06:31,713
to eat fish,

133
00:06:31,713 --> 00:06:34,134
and fish happens to be
one of my favorite foods,

134
00:06:34,134 --> 00:06:37,076
and that is incredibly fresh.

135
00:06:37,076 --> 00:06:40,089
It is an incredibly good fish.

136
00:06:40,089 --> 00:06:41,780
I love how they have prepared it.

137
00:06:41,780 --> 00:06:44,305
Not too salty, but just really
focusing on the freshness

138
00:06:44,305 --> 00:06:45,332
of that fish.

139
00:06:45,332 --> 00:06:46,553
I'm gonna follow that with a bite of-

140
00:06:46,553 --> 00:06:48,282
I think this is Bok Choy,

141
00:06:48,282 --> 00:06:49,264
and there are mushrooms in here.

142
00:06:49,264 --> 00:06:52,931
There are pieces of
ginger, and also garlic.

143
00:06:56,030 --> 00:06:57,933
Really nice with the ginger.

144
00:06:57,933 --> 00:06:59,440
I'm gonna take a piece of the ginger,

145
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,176
and then also a clove of garlic,

146
00:07:01,176 --> 00:07:04,009
which has been fried and withered.

147
00:07:06,364 --> 00:07:07,471
Oh yeah.

148
00:07:07,471 --> 00:07:08,722
Oh, ginger.

149
00:07:08,722 --> 00:07:10,101
Ginger is a wonderful thing.

150
00:07:10,101 --> 00:07:12,790
Since the scallops have just
arrived fresh from the kitchen,

151
00:07:12,790 --> 00:07:16,002
I'm gonna take this opportunity
to eat it immediately.

152
00:07:16,002 --> 00:07:17,421
It's topped with mung bean noodles.

153
00:07:17,421 --> 00:07:18,772
I'm guessing that's garlic.

154
00:07:18,772 --> 00:07:19,736
There are green onions on here,

155
00:07:19,736 --> 00:07:22,871
and I'm not sure exactly
how the scallop is.

156
00:07:22,871 --> 00:07:24,764
I think it's still attached.

157
00:07:24,764 --> 00:07:27,394
It's down there below,
so maybe I'll pick it up

158
00:07:27,394 --> 00:07:30,371
and slurp the noodles first,

159
00:07:30,371 --> 00:07:31,625
and then eat the scallop.

160
00:07:31,625 --> 00:07:34,534
I want to make sure to get lots of garlic.

161
00:07:34,534 --> 00:07:35,367
Oh, yes.

162
00:07:42,111 --> 00:07:44,602
It's a really strong garlic flavor,

163
00:07:44,602 --> 00:07:48,275
but at the same time it's not
like a burning garlic flavor.

164
00:07:48,275 --> 00:07:50,113
And again, it's not too salty,

165
00:07:50,113 --> 00:07:53,653
but just so delicately flavorful.

166
00:07:53,653 --> 00:07:54,890
Here's the scallop.

167
00:07:54,890 --> 00:07:56,126
Oh, it is detached.

168
00:07:56,126 --> 00:07:57,565
Okay.

169
00:07:57,565 --> 00:07:58,723
Oh, wow.

170
00:07:58,723 --> 00:08:00,492
It's absolutely superb.

171
00:08:00,492 --> 00:08:03,825
I'm just gonna eat that all in one bite.

172
00:08:12,810 --> 00:08:14,477
That is sensational.

173
00:08:15,397 --> 00:08:17,564
That scallop is so tender.

174
00:08:20,061 --> 00:08:21,228
It's so sweet.

175
00:08:22,123 --> 00:08:24,873
I need to drink the rest of this.

176
00:08:31,403 --> 00:08:33,217
That scallop was ridiculous.

177
00:08:33,217 --> 00:08:35,300
I love how it's prepared.

178
00:08:36,337 --> 00:08:38,760
Very similar tasting
to the fish, actually,

179
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,820
but just the beauty of that scallop,

180
00:08:40,821 --> 00:08:44,008
the freshness, the sweetness of it.

181
00:08:44,008 --> 00:08:45,322
It was so tender.

182
00:08:45,322 --> 00:08:48,451
That brings us to the final
dish, which is the crab,

183
00:08:48,451 --> 00:08:50,126
which has been-

184
00:08:50,126 --> 00:08:51,723
I think it's been stir-fried
with lots of ginger

185
00:08:51,723 --> 00:08:52,909
and green onions,

186
00:08:52,909 --> 00:08:55,195
and this is the top shell here.

187
00:08:55,195 --> 00:08:57,503
There are some claws below here.

188
00:08:57,503 --> 00:09:00,951
Maybe I'll just begin
with this guy right here,

189
00:09:00,951 --> 00:09:01,784
and yeah,

190
00:09:01,784 --> 00:09:05,617
I'm just going right
into this crab drumstick.

191
00:09:13,655 --> 00:09:17,822
Again, I can taste the ginger,
embedded into that crab meat.

192
00:09:18,843 --> 00:09:21,097
It's like flaky crab.

193
00:09:21,097 --> 00:09:22,589
It's naturally sweet again.

194
00:09:22,589 --> 00:09:24,237
There's some raw there too.

195
00:09:24,237 --> 00:09:26,154
I better slurp that up.

196
00:09:29,820 --> 00:09:32,515
Me, try to break this guy in half

197
00:09:32,515 --> 00:09:35,182
to reveal the rest of that crab.

198
00:09:36,530 --> 00:09:39,863
Maybe, reach in with my chopsticks here.

199
00:09:43,381 --> 00:09:44,638
Look at that.

200
00:09:44,638 --> 00:09:47,721
Look at the stringiness of that crab.

201
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,924
That crab is so sweet,

202
00:09:52,924 --> 00:09:54,976
and so stringy.

203
00:09:54,976 --> 00:09:56,226
It's wonderful.

204
00:09:58,490 --> 00:10:00,068
Let me get some more of this fish.

205
00:10:00,068 --> 00:10:02,735
This fish is just insanely good.

206
00:10:04,539 --> 00:10:05,793
I'm still not sure what
type of fish it is.

207
00:10:05,793 --> 00:10:08,543
Could it be a flounder, possibly?

208
00:10:10,383 --> 00:10:12,133
Add a bit more and...

209
00:10:18,179 --> 00:10:19,096
That was a

210
00:10:20,154 --> 00:10:22,684
memorable seafood meal.

211
00:10:22,684 --> 00:10:24,626
Every dish was so good,

212
00:10:24,626 --> 00:10:27,937
and I have now come to my
final trophy possession

213
00:10:27,937 --> 00:10:29,134
of the meal.

214
00:10:29,134 --> 00:10:30,861
The last crab claw,

215
00:10:30,861 --> 00:10:32,633
and this is gonna be-

216
00:10:32,633 --> 00:10:34,424
Yeah, everything is gone.

217
00:10:34,424 --> 00:10:36,828
It is a sad but joyful moment.

218
00:10:36,828 --> 00:10:38,151
Also, this meal,

219
00:10:38,151 --> 00:10:42,318
it was just the absolute,
perfect amount for Ying and I.

220
00:10:44,058 --> 00:10:45,583
Let's see if-

221
00:10:45,583 --> 00:10:49,779
Let me see if I can peel
this in a pretty manner.

222
00:10:49,779 --> 00:10:51,303
Ying, I might need your help.

223
00:10:51,303 --> 00:10:53,386
Look at that last beauty.

224
00:10:54,634 --> 00:10:56,717
(laughs)

225
00:11:05,870 --> 00:11:06,703
Stunning.

226
00:11:09,866 --> 00:11:11,699
This crab is so sweet.

227
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:19,753
All right.

228
00:11:24,650 --> 00:11:27,411
We still have dessert, I
think, on that set menu.

229
00:11:27,411 --> 00:11:29,254
I actually completely forgot about it.

230
00:11:29,254 --> 00:11:32,161
I was so engulfed within that seafood.

231
00:11:32,161 --> 00:11:35,239
I'm not a desserts guy, but
since this dessert was included

232
00:11:35,239 --> 00:11:37,489
in our set meal, we got it.

233
00:11:39,256 --> 00:11:40,742
Wow.

234
00:11:40,742 --> 00:11:42,198
It's quite a structure.

235
00:11:42,198 --> 00:11:45,509
This is some kind of toast,
but they are in cubes,

236
00:11:45,509 --> 00:11:46,939
and then it's drizzled-

237
00:11:46,939 --> 00:11:48,122
Maybe, they're deep-fried.

238
00:11:48,122 --> 00:11:49,997
It looks coated in some kind of,

239
00:11:49,997 --> 00:11:52,902
maybe an egg batter or
something, and then fried it.

240
00:11:52,902 --> 00:11:55,441
There are just literally
like little cubes of butter,

241
00:11:55,441 --> 00:11:57,104
which are just slowly melting,

242
00:11:57,104 --> 00:12:00,354
and swirling within the condensed milk.

243
00:12:01,267 --> 00:12:02,100
Wow.

244
00:12:03,061 --> 00:12:06,972
I'm gonna go for this piece
right down here on the bottom.

245
00:12:06,972 --> 00:12:07,971
(laughs)

246
00:12:07,971 --> 00:12:11,408
It almost look like cubes of tofu.

247
00:12:11,408 --> 00:12:14,112
I'm pretty sure it's bread though.

248
00:12:14,112 --> 00:12:15,975
Let me take this piece.

249
00:12:15,975 --> 00:12:19,091
Wow, and there's even
butter on the inside here.

250
00:12:19,091 --> 00:12:20,512
It's just dripping as I-

251
00:12:20,512 --> 00:12:22,679
I better eat it right now.

252
00:12:30,552 --> 00:12:31,385
Wow.

253
00:12:36,012 --> 00:12:37,137
That is pretty good.

254
00:12:37,137 --> 00:12:38,499
It's french toast, I think.

255
00:12:38,499 --> 00:12:40,457
It's pieces of bread,

256
00:12:40,457 --> 00:12:43,048
or cubes of bread that have been dumped,

257
00:12:43,048 --> 00:12:45,182
or soaked in egg, and then fried.

258
00:12:45,182 --> 00:12:46,015
I think the sweetness

259
00:12:46,015 --> 00:12:47,865
is mostly just coming
from that condensed milk,

260
00:12:47,865 --> 00:12:51,161
but it is just oozing with butter.

261
00:12:51,161 --> 00:12:51,994
That is for sure.

262
00:12:51,994 --> 00:12:54,339
There might even be some
peanut butter in here.

263
00:12:54,339 --> 00:12:57,200
I'm getting a little bit of nuttiness.

264
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,226
I liked that better that I
thought I was gonna like it.

265
00:13:01,226 --> 00:13:03,635
Following that with hot Chinese tea.

266
00:13:03,635 --> 00:13:04,635
That's good.

267
00:13:05,563 --> 00:13:07,970
If you like french toast,

268
00:13:07,970 --> 00:13:11,515
I think this might be the
ultimate french toast.

269
00:13:11,515 --> 00:13:13,753
It is actually incredibly good,

270
00:13:13,753 --> 00:13:15,003
and so buttery.

271
00:13:18,466 --> 00:13:20,920
Ying and I just finished
with seafood meal.

272
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,580
What I really loved so much is that

273
00:13:23,580 --> 00:13:26,144
they cooked things just
perfectly, not everything-

274
00:13:26,144 --> 00:13:28,746
Nothing was too salty, and
it really, really focused

275
00:13:28,746 --> 00:13:32,204
and highlighted on the
freshness of that seafood.

276
00:13:32,204 --> 00:13:35,895
The steamed fish in particular
was probably my favorite,

277
00:13:35,895 --> 00:13:38,930
but actually everything was
good, including the scallop,

278
00:13:38,930 --> 00:13:40,330
and that crab.

279
00:13:40,330 --> 00:13:41,983
Coming out here to the
Aberdeen fish market

280
00:13:41,983 --> 00:13:45,270
was well worth it for that seafood meal,

281
00:13:45,270 --> 00:13:47,070
and if you love seafood,

282
00:13:47,070 --> 00:13:49,270
it's just a great place
to visit in Hong Kong,

283
00:13:49,270 --> 00:13:52,415
and that's actually gonna be
our final meal in Hong Kong.

284
00:13:52,415 --> 00:13:55,524
We are gonna take the
bus back to our hotel,

285
00:13:55,524 --> 00:13:58,455
pack up, and it's about
time to go to the airport

286
00:13:58,455 --> 00:13:59,400
this afternoon.

287
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,983
(mellow music)

288
00:14:14,917 --> 00:14:17,500
(sensor beeps)

289
00:14:19,168 --> 00:14:21,031
We're on the double-decker bus.

290
00:14:21,031 --> 00:14:24,948
We should be back to
Causeway Bay very shortly.

291
00:14:33,306 --> 00:14:37,306
See you later, Hong Kong,
and this amazing view.

292
00:14:41,895 --> 00:14:44,478
(sensor beeps)

293
00:14:47,486 --> 00:14:48,703
Hope it doesn't leave.

294
00:14:48,703 --> 00:14:52,837
We ran to buy tickets, and it
costs 170 Hong Kong Dollars

295
00:14:52,837 --> 00:14:56,049
for two of us, and then got
immediately on the train.

296
00:14:56,049 --> 00:14:57,988
I think the train should
leave in a couple minutes,

297
00:14:57,988 --> 00:15:01,071
and we are on our way to the airport.

298
00:15:21,532 --> 00:15:23,554
That took about 25 minutes on the train.

299
00:15:23,554 --> 00:15:25,175
We made it to the airport,

300
00:15:25,175 --> 00:15:28,366
and we are flying out of terminal two.

301
00:15:28,366 --> 00:15:30,508
Terminal two in Hong Kong is amazing.

302
00:15:30,508 --> 00:15:33,735
It's huge, and we just got all checked in.

303
00:15:33,735 --> 00:15:37,140
We are flying with Thai
Airways back home to Bangkok.

304
00:15:37,140 --> 00:15:39,723
(mellow music)

305
00:15:41,936 --> 00:15:44,985
It's been a total of 39 days
since Ying and I set off

306
00:15:44,985 --> 00:15:47,087
from Bangkok on this
round-the-world trip for food

307
00:15:47,087 --> 00:15:48,493
with Star Alliance.

308
00:15:48,493 --> 00:15:50,784
Now you know how fast my hair grows.

309
00:15:50,784 --> 00:15:54,034
If you go back to day one,
you'll see short my hair was.

310
00:15:54,034 --> 00:15:58,483
But anyway, I don't know if
I have ever done so much,

311
00:15:58,483 --> 00:16:01,230
and traveled so much, and eaten so much

312
00:16:01,230 --> 00:16:04,813
in a span of 39 days
as I did on this trip.

313
00:16:06,661 --> 00:16:09,244
(mellow music)

314
00:16:12,854 --> 00:16:15,986
This is our final flight, our
final business-class flight

315
00:16:15,986 --> 00:16:17,112
on this trip,

316
00:16:17,112 --> 00:16:19,699
and it happens to be on
our hometown airline.

317
00:16:19,699 --> 00:16:23,866
- [Crowd] (speaking in foreign language)

318
00:16:26,581 --> 00:16:28,248
- Welcome champagne.

319
00:16:30,101 --> 00:16:32,037
- This thing is really good.

320
00:16:32,037 --> 00:16:32,870
- What is that?

321
00:16:32,870 --> 00:16:34,177
- Anchan Manaw.

322
00:16:34,177 --> 00:16:36,094
- Oh, butterfly pea and

323
00:16:37,485 --> 00:16:38,367
lime juice.

324
00:16:38,367 --> 00:16:40,034
Butterfly pea juice.

325
00:16:44,511 --> 00:16:46,399
Yeah, it is really good.

326
00:16:46,399 --> 00:16:47,838
Tastes like (mumbles).

327
00:16:47,838 --> 00:16:51,588
(speaks in foreign language)

328
00:16:53,138 --> 00:16:55,272
We took off about 15 minutes ago,

329
00:16:55,272 --> 00:16:59,189
and this is gonna be
two-hour-and-20-minute flight,

330
00:16:59,189 --> 00:17:01,635
and it is time for dinner now.

331
00:17:01,635 --> 00:17:04,226
This is the first course, which is salmon

332
00:17:04,226 --> 00:17:06,567
and some kind of salad on the side here.

333
00:17:06,567 --> 00:17:09,369
I have had a lot of salmon on this trip,

334
00:17:09,369 --> 00:17:13,536
and I don't mind eating it
every opportunity that I have.

335
00:17:16,019 --> 00:17:19,473
Oh, yes, that is the fork-tender salmon.

336
00:17:19,473 --> 00:17:22,390
It's some capers on the side there.

337
00:17:28,377 --> 00:17:30,569
Really, really smokey.

338
00:17:30,569 --> 00:17:32,902
I think that's dough on top.

339
00:17:33,852 --> 00:17:36,555
- [Attendant] (speaks in foreign language)

340
00:17:36,555 --> 00:17:37,388
- For the main course,

341
00:17:37,388 --> 00:17:38,844
they had a couple of different options,

342
00:17:38,844 --> 00:17:41,514
but I chose the only thing,
which is the real Thai dish

343
00:17:41,514 --> 00:17:42,702
on the menu,

344
00:17:42,702 --> 00:17:45,868
and that is pad ka-prao, which is...

345
00:17:45,868 --> 00:17:47,998
I think this time it's minced chicken,

346
00:17:47,998 --> 00:17:50,294
stir-fried with holy basil with rice,

347
00:17:50,294 --> 00:17:53,269
and then also came with a

348
00:17:53,269 --> 00:17:56,592
classic Thai deep-fried egg on the side.

349
00:17:56,592 --> 00:17:59,259
Let me fist crack into that egg.

350
00:18:01,569 --> 00:18:05,236
You got to love the
crispy edges on the egg.

351
00:18:09,944 --> 00:18:13,770
So crispy, that you got
to really work at it

352
00:18:13,770 --> 00:18:15,392
to break it off.

353
00:18:15,392 --> 00:18:18,665
Look at the crispiness
of that egg, with rice.

354
00:18:18,665 --> 00:18:21,082
Grab some of the pad ka-prao.

355
00:18:24,501 --> 00:18:25,334
Basil.

356
00:18:27,412 --> 00:18:28,245
All right.

357
00:18:37,928 --> 00:18:40,971
How I've missed Thai-style
deep-fried eggs.

358
00:18:40,971 --> 00:18:43,001
It's a little bit on the sweet side,

359
00:18:43,001 --> 00:18:46,634
and then just little pieces of chicken

360
00:18:46,634 --> 00:18:49,360
with chilies in there,
and also the holy basil.

361
00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:51,625
That concludes this brief dinner

362
00:18:51,625 --> 00:18:53,180
on this Thai Airways flight.

363
00:18:53,180 --> 00:18:55,763
(mellow music)

364
00:19:01,784 --> 00:19:05,951
- [PA] (speaking in foreign language)

365
00:19:23,167 --> 00:19:26,821
- Feels good to be home,
but that was honestly

366
00:19:26,821 --> 00:19:29,615
a food trip of a lifetime.

367
00:19:29,615 --> 00:19:32,009
I don't know, in a span of 39 days,

368
00:19:32,009 --> 00:19:35,350
if I have ever eaten
such a diverse spectrum

369
00:19:35,350 --> 00:19:37,183
of cuisine in my life.

370
00:19:44,214 --> 00:19:45,083
We just made it back home.

371
00:19:45,083 --> 00:19:47,000
Ying is about to see...

372
00:19:48,981 --> 00:19:50,796
(laughs)

373
00:19:50,796 --> 00:19:54,963
- [Ying] (speaks in foreign language)

374
00:20:00,510 --> 00:20:01,669
- [Mark] We're back, Sheep.

375
00:20:01,669 --> 00:20:02,726
- (speaks in foreign language)

376
00:20:02,726 --> 00:20:04,745
- [Mark] (laughs)

377
00:20:04,745 --> 00:20:07,959
- [Ying] (speaks in foreign language)

378
00:20:07,959 --> 00:20:11,284
- Yeah, gets fatter every time we see him.

379
00:20:11,284 --> 00:20:13,230
Before I wrap up today's video,

380
00:20:13,230 --> 00:20:15,246
and then wrap up this entire series,

381
00:20:15,246 --> 00:20:16,540
a couple of things.

382
00:20:16,540 --> 00:20:19,204
Number one, I wanted to thank
each and every one of you

383
00:20:19,204 --> 00:20:21,412
for watching this entire series,

384
00:20:21,412 --> 00:20:24,329
and also many of you contributed in

385
00:20:25,180 --> 00:20:27,151
giving me restaurant recommendations

386
00:20:27,151 --> 00:20:29,984
in each of the destinations
that we visited,

387
00:20:29,984 --> 00:20:32,346
so I want to say a big thank you to you,

388
00:20:32,346 --> 00:20:35,499
and also thank you to
Myriad for sponsoring

389
00:20:35,499 --> 00:20:37,793
much of the accommodation
that Ying and I stayed at

390
00:20:37,793 --> 00:20:39,070
throughout this trip.

391
00:20:39,070 --> 00:20:42,165
And finally, a major thank
you to Star Alliance,

392
00:20:42,165 --> 00:20:44,458
who made this entire trip possible,

393
00:20:44,458 --> 00:20:47,301
and it was a real honor to be invited,

394
00:20:47,301 --> 00:20:50,124
and to have this opportunity to take part

395
00:20:50,124 --> 00:20:53,332
in a round-the-world
trip with Star Alliance.

396
00:20:53,332 --> 00:20:54,665
And then lastly,

397
00:20:55,813 --> 00:20:56,646
this video,

398
00:20:56,646 --> 00:20:59,453
and if you haven't seen
the entire video series

399
00:20:59,453 --> 00:21:01,906
from this round-the-world trip for food,

400
00:21:01,906 --> 00:21:04,875
I have included all of them in a playlist,

401
00:21:04,875 --> 00:21:07,143
all in consecutive order.

402
00:21:07,143 --> 00:21:09,323
Again, the link is in the
description box below,

403
00:21:09,323 --> 00:21:12,404
so you can watch through the entire series

404
00:21:12,404 --> 00:21:13,737
of these videos,

405
00:21:14,979 --> 00:21:19,966
and I think that is a complete
wrap on this video series.

406
00:21:19,966 --> 00:21:22,195
It has been so much fun.

407
00:21:22,195 --> 00:21:24,354
I have learned so much.

408
00:21:24,354 --> 00:21:26,341
Thank you all for watching,

409
00:21:26,341 --> 00:21:29,933
and I will see you on the next video.

410
00:21:29,933 --> 00:21:32,155
Good night from Bangkok.

411
00:21:32,155 --> 00:00:00,000
(mellow music)
