Thank you Sam & Vienne for another fun-filled nostalgia trip. I emigrated from HK in '74, five years before this London Restaurant even came into existence; I will always have a soft spot for dim sum push-cart service. Back in the day, before the stamping system became the norm, the waiting staff would just come to your table at the end of the meal and count up all the empty steamers and plates, then calculate the bill by shorthand or using their head. My Mom had a wily friend who used to carry an oversized shopping bag with her and stuff empties into it to reduce the size of the tab. Additionally, being friendly with the cart ladies also had its benefits. The fish-head item is definitely a rare, "old-school" find. Have not seen that dim sum dish since I was a child! 😊

A rare glimpse of your lovely wife is like scoring a quail egg siu mai, Sam!! 🤩 Another fun, informative, and nostalgic video. I applaud your focus on traditional HK food experiences and trying to keep them alive for the next generation! And congrats on your new "dumpling"...no doubt the sweetest of any you'll ever try!❤

Thank you Sam! Wonderful memories of classic traditional dishes that many places don't serve anymore. So sorry they didn't have those delicious quail egg siu mais for you. Looking forward to your next foodie experience.

So happy to see another video! Been watching since you started during the pandemic. Can't wait for the next one Sam

Yay, Sam is back! Love your videos.

8:15 Lol!! Sam getting yelled at by the cart lady for asking about the quail egg siu mai. Love your upbeat demeanor and taking that in stride.

Hong Kong is not what it used to be. It’s very sad. I heard the neon signs are now restricted and being taken down. Not all but most. Happy to see a video from you. Have a great Sunday!

Been going here for almost 20 years. Love it

I live on HK Island but go to London Restaurant with friends and family very often. The dimsum quality may not be the best but we love the vibes, the push carts, the big dinning halls, the noise … Nostalgic HK yum cha atmosphere. ❤ Thank you for making the video! Safe travels and bon appetit!

Really enjoyed your video, very informative for tourists coming to Hong Kong.

Thank you Sam for the extra long video. I have watched this twice

Gosh, this takes me back, exactly how I remember it, huge floor, dim sum carts and so on! Thank you for making the video.👍

congrats on your little dumpling - probably explains the infrequent vids!!!! thanks again for posting.

5:33 Sam, nice vid! Normally the dimsum trolley with glass doors is for “deep fried” stuff, rice pudding, egg tarts…. SiuMai stored in bamboo cage. 💪🏻 Love your vids, please keep o

Another great vid Sam your Canto is improving, noticed your use of m ho yi si! Looks like a very decent locally approved place, not an Insta influencer to be seen! Lovely to see your wife too, if she's not too camera shy maybe more appearances in future, regardless we all appreciate her hard work on this channel. Always wondering where you will visit next - outlying island perhaps?

Your video just recalled my childhood memory that the dim sum carts travelled around the restaurant, and one special cart was used to fry the stuffed veggie, rice roll and more. I didn’t know London Restaurant still does the traditional way and I better try it one day soon. Thank you for your great work 😊

Absolutely another beautiful sharing adventure documentary street food travel blog .. million thanks ..

The chicken thigh dim sum looked tempting. Never heard of the quail egg one. So many different choices, but they are all tasty. Enjoyed the visit to the dim sum restaurant. Very local so nice. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for featuring this place. My late uncle brought me there for yum cha in '81 and he said I polsihed off 16 all by myself (I was 12 years old that time). I haven't been back since because each year I visit, he brought me to new places to eat and I have always appreciated the love and the care he had for me. He passed away more than ten years ago and I still think of him.
