00:25The best thing about Hong Kong, like what I've been saying or
00:29reiterating, dito sa city yan, dami mo pwedeng kainan, dami mo pwedeng pag-shoppingan.
00:35Ibabaha dito sa inyo ang isang syudad na malaking parte ng aking kabataan.
00:39Nung bata pa ako, ito na yung pinupuntahan namin.
00:42Dami naming memories with my siblings.
00:44Hindi naisip siguro ng mga tao, sino itong Hollywood star?
00:47Ika-relax lang kayo, guys. Ako lang to.
00:51At patuloy na, nagbibigay saya. Magpahanga ngayon.
01:03So good!
01:04Let's explore how the old and classic
01:08Wow!
01:10Galing!
01:11Wow!
01:11Galing!
01:13Meets the new era of Hong Kong.
01:22Kilalang kilala ang kaling ito sa Hong Kong.
01:24Kaya unahin na rin natin yung pinipilahan sa kalsada.
01:27Ang cafe na to, 70 years nang naghahain ng binabalik-balik ang Hong Kong milk tea.
01:33Masyort na tayo dahil pinayagan nila tayong upo sa labas ng kainan.
01:36Na classic Hong Kong local style noon.
01:39Yung posisyon ko na to, yung may maliit na stool para makaupot, para makainom ng kape at kumain ko naman.
01:47Actually, ginagawa nila to dati.
01:49Pero ngayon, pinagbabawalan na sila dahil, well, busy street na to.
01:54May mga dumadang taxi, truck.
01:57Pero, kung makikita mo all around, andayin pa rin ang mga tao nagpapapicture.
02:02Because, apparently, this is a very iconic place.
02:05Pinayagan lang naman tayo para lang i-shoot.
02:07Para lang mapakita natin sa inyo, or mapakita namin sa inyo, kung how it was before.
02:16Si...
02:1910 inches.
02:22Sexy.
02:24Oh, hello.
02:26Hi, thank you.
02:28Kung patandaan lang daw ang labanan.
02:31May panlaban ang Hong Kong dyan.
02:33Ang tren na ito, na lumilibot sa iba't ibang lugar sa syudad ng Hong Kong.
02:40Paniniwala ba kayong isang daang taon na ang tanda?
02:47Ito ang Ding Ding Tram.
02:49Pero bago umalis, may kamabayan daw tayong makakasabay.
02:53Hi, Jen.
02:54Hi.
02:55We should go upstairs to Jeremy.
02:56Jeremy, got it.
02:57I'll call you.
03:00Siya si Jen Balisi.
03:03Isang film food blogger na dating nakatira sa Amerika.
03:06Pero ngayon, lumipat na rito sa Hong Kong.
03:12Actually, this road that we're on, this is originally where Hong Kong ended.
03:16So, all of the land past this is all reclaimed land, actually.
03:22Iba sa tram na pang public transportation ang tram na aming sinasakyan.
03:27Espesyal kasing ipinapagamit ang ganitong tram sa mga turistang gustong maglibot o tour sa Hong Kong.
03:33Taong 1904, nang binuksan ang tramway sa Hong Kong.
03:36Nung mula, single-decker lang ang kanilang ginagamit na tren.
03:40Pero nang dumagsana ang pasero.
03:42Kinailangan na nilang gawing double-decker ang mga ito.
03:46Like Whitney said, it's not the fastest way but...
03:49It's the most scenic.
03:50It's the most scenic and you don't really have to rush.
03:53Yeah.
03:57Pagbaba ng tram, tiyak merienda agad ang hahanapin.
04:02At ang worth it daw hanapin,
04:04ang bakery na ito na kinila sa kanilang egg tarts for 70 years.
04:09Ayos.
04:09So, nakakuha na tayo ng egg tarts
04:12mula sa isa sa pinakalumang bakery dito since 1954.
04:17Karayan natin itong mga makalumang pagkain.
04:20I'm sure there's a reason why, until now,
04:23they're still in business.
04:25Woo! Mainit-init pa!
04:27So yung sinasabi nila, yung pinagyayabang nila,
04:30wala, everything is fresh.
04:32Ang bilis na turnover.
04:33Ang dami bumibili.
04:44Ayos.
04:45Mmm.
04:46Wow, ang init.
04:49Very...
04:50croissant type of texture.
04:53Tapos sa loob,
04:54very, very soft.
04:55Very, very wan.
04:57Alright.
04:58Nice.
04:59Mag-ala-action star sa Hong Kong.
05:05Pwedeng-pwede sa traditional na martial arts na ito.
05:08Yeah!
05:12Fight kung fight ang atake.
05:14Sipa, tadyak, sutok!
05:16Ang tawag sa martial arts na ito,
05:18wingtune.
05:20Nasubukan ko nang mag-wingtune doon.
05:24Okay.
05:27Sifu, I want to have a kid.
05:29Pero dahil parang nangalawang ng skills ko.
05:33Master!
05:34Pa-refresher ka naman dyan.
05:36Now, you follow me, but for you, you have to insert your right leg into the dummy, okay?
05:43Okay.
05:45Go.
05:46Yes, yes, yes.
05:47Good.
05:47Sorry.
05:48Okay, KO.
05:49Okay.
05:51Mula sa basic footwork?
05:53Hanggang sa mga suntok, ito turing ni Master.
05:56Good.
05:58Good.
05:59You step to the side.
06:00Tom.
06:01Okay.
06:04Ang tatlong daang taong martial arts ng wingtune, sinasabing dinideveloped ni Yong Moy, isang Buddhist nun na bihasa sa martial
06:13arts.
06:14Goal ng wingtune na matunungan ang mga may maliliit at balingkinitan na katawan kontra sa mga malalaking kalaban.
06:21Seven.
06:23After ng pisikalan, mahabang stick naman ang gagamitin palaban.
06:27If they are coming in, you should smoke them.
06:32As a kababayan ni Manny Pacquiao, napalaban tayo sa sundukan.
06:46It's nice to learn different techniques from different disciplines.
06:50And yung natutunan ko ngayon ay hindi kailangan masyadong magalaw yung katawan mo.
06:56Ako pa naman, sobrang magalaw ang katawan at yung isip.
07:00So yung pala kailangan, takas straight lang yung shoulder mo.
07:04Tapos pwede mo nang gamitin yung triangle pati circle, pati shadow, shadowless kicking.
07:11Pero pinawisan ako doon.
07:13In fairness, pinawisan ako doon. May aircon pa.
07:16But yeah, feeling ko, local na ako.
07:24Kung as a local din naman ang usapan.
07:27Pwede raw mag-time travel sa 1990s sa Hong Kong.
07:30City of Darkness o Kowloon Walled City ang dating tawag sa lugar na ito noong 90s.
07:36Ngayon, kabalikteran na ang makikita sa dati nitong kinatitirikan.
07:39So mga bihero, papasok tayo sa Kowloon Walled City.
07:44Na originally was built as a military fort back in the mid-19th century.
07:49And then turned into a settlement for about 33,000 to 50,000 residents.
07:57Isipin mo, four football fields.
07:59Tapos noon, ito itsura niyan.
08:01350 connected buildings and an average of 10 to 14 flights or 10 to 14 floors interconnected.
08:11After the demolition ng 1990s, ginawa na nila itong park.
08:16At the same time, parang naging film set.
08:18Sa entrance pa lang. Para bang nag-time travel back in time.
08:22So this is the look back in the day.
08:27Medyo dense pa.
08:29Saring-saring mga kwarto ang itinayo muli sa park na ito.
08:32Para ma-feel kung paano manirahan sa dating Kowloon Walled City.
08:37Galing, no? Parang tunay talagang dental clinic with all the bells and whistles.
08:41You have your desk here.
08:44And then, syempre, your seat.
08:46And all the, I guess, instruments na ginagamit ng mga dentista.
08:49It looks so real!
08:52Ang galing!
08:53This is the fishball factory.
08:55So pagpasok mo dito sa Recreated Walled City,
08:58bukod sa pagtingin mo sa ganda ng pagkagawa nila, ng recreation nila,
09:02you can actually hear also kung ano yung nangyayari dati.
09:08Ngayon, nandito tayo ngayon sa isa sa mga kitchens na ginawa nila,
09:12at narinig natin yung sizzling na nagaganap habang nagluluto sila.
09:25Mas immersive ang experience nito dahil sa mga marinig na pag-uusap sa loob.
09:34Wow!
09:35You can sit down, have your meal.
09:39I think this is barbecued pork with rice.
09:41There are iced tea, of course, chopsticks.
09:44Ang galing!
09:45Oh my God, everything looks so real.
09:47Takto uso ngayon, magpakulot.
09:50Pa-perm please!
09:52Kitang-kita sa mga display dito ang pagkamalikhain at attention to detail.
09:58Malaki man o maliit ang gamit,
10:00bawat isa siniguro accurate ang pagka-recreate.
10:04Wow!
10:04Effort mo, effort!
10:05Nagali din sa...
10:06Ang galing!
10:09So, this is like how the veranda feels it looked like before.
10:14Iyan yung itsura ng parang tenement.
10:17Sobrang overpopulated, sobrang dense.
10:22May replante.
10:27Ang galing!
10:29Surround sound pa!
10:31Ang nakikita mo at very relatable sa atin sa Manila.
10:34Ay ang kanilang wiring.
10:38Itamay ang wiring nila.
10:40Very familiar, no?
10:45So you wanna experience the Kowloon World City Cinematic Journey exhibition?
10:50Guess what?
10:51Libre lang to.
10:52But you have to line up to get the tickets.
10:55Dahil ginagawa nila, I think, every batch is limited to 60.
11:01And then maximum of 20 minutes each para at least feeling ko per person, per tourist.
11:07They can appreciate their space.
11:10And they can have a good amount of time to do pictures, to record some videos.
11:18But yeah, everything's free.
11:20Gano ang level ng historic experience for free?
11:24Wahoy!
11:25Sulit!
11:29Ang galing!
11:31Kung hindi naman umabot sa tickets, malawak ang grounds dito para mag-exercise, maglakad,
11:36o simpleng huli na lang sa gitna ng siyad.
11:44Kung ang World City noon, maraming tao ang nakatira sa mga gusali.
11:48Ang nagvaviral na cafe naman na ito sa Hong Kong, maaga pa lang, dinabig sana.
11:53Hindi lang na mga lokal, pati na rin na mga turista.
11:57So yung in-order natin ito, milk tea, warm, pineapple bun, pero may konting palaman.
12:04Hindi konti actually, malaking palaman.
12:06Tinikman na natin yung pineapple bun with just the butter, french toast.
12:09And dahil hindi lang nga sila breakfast place, lunch and dinner place sila,
12:15gumawa tayo ng noodle soup with lunch and meat.
12:18Fusion ng Western at Chinese cuisine, ang bentang-benta rito sa cafe.
12:22Aiko na nga rin silang may tuturing dahil 50 years na silang nagluluto
12:26at nambubusog ng kanilang customers.
12:29First bite natin, Pine Apple Bun Burger.
12:32This looks like pork.
12:36Slab of pork, some tomatoes, cabbage, and mayonnaise.
12:46Mmm.
12:48So good. So good.
12:51Alam na natin yung texture ng pineapple bun.
12:55Frontier sa labas, may lambot sa loob, matamis.
12:59Tapos yung kaagad ka sa something savory, something salty.
13:06Salam tayo ng noodle soup.
13:09So nakaitlog, yung ka lunch and meat.
13:14Napaka-convenient. Parang isang malaking coffee cup.
13:17Galing!
13:23Alright.
13:26Ito yung isa sa mga bestsellers nila.
13:28And kung masarap yung pineapple bun nila.
13:31At ito yung isa sa mga bestsellers nila, which is the French toast.
13:36Expectation ko, ang taas na.
13:37And I think mami-meat yung expectation.
13:44Yung hindi na-meat na expectation dahil nakalimutan ko, ang silap.
13:59Dish is so simple.
14:01It's so good.
14:04Ah!
14:06Bad sugar.
14:07Worth it.
14:15Meron namang printer dito na one-of-a-kind.
14:19Ang printer kasing ito, hindi nagmamaktol kapag kailangan gamitin.
14:23Pero ang siste, manumanan naman ang pagdidikit at paglalagay ng mga letra.
14:30Oh, see the craftsmanship?
14:34Over sa pagka-lover boy, ang ganap natin ngayon.
14:37Ang plano kong ba sa lubong?
14:39Sulat para kay misis gamit ang lumang paraan ng printing.
14:42Old school ba kanya?
14:44Well, it's a lovely poem.
14:45Ah, lovely poem?
14:47Romantic guy.
14:48You know, I always want to be romantic because my wife gets mad at me all the time.
14:55You come to the right place because Master Yam is one of the very few people who master this letterpress
15:06printing.
15:09Start first with your names.
15:12With my name?
15:13Yeah.
15:13Do you know your Chinese name?
15:15Cha.
15:15It's a good thing that I studied in a Chinese school in the Philippines.
15:20So they gave me...
15:22Some character?
15:23Yeah.
15:24Wang chintie.
15:25Wang chintie.
15:26Wang chintie.
15:27Wang chintie.
15:27Yeah, so you know, you do know the meaning.
15:29Chintie means handsome.
15:31Oh!
15:32And chintie means outstanding.
15:33Outstanding?
15:34Yes.
15:35Wow!
15:36In your computer, it like shows the correct.
15:39Correct.
15:40But for printing, you need to somehow make it, somehow like reversed.
15:44Reversed.
15:44Yeah.
15:45And therefore, for this Chinese character, you can only recognize in the reversed form.
15:50Right.
15:51Yeah.
15:51So basically, he'd do it by official memory.
15:55Wow!
15:55And remembering the reversed form.
15:58Reverse form.
15:58Reverse form.
15:58Of every Chinese character.
15:59That's right.
16:00It's like treasure hunting pa lang.
16:02Paghanap ng Chinese characters para sa letter ko.
16:05Kinusto ko naman to.
16:06So, makitulong na lang din tayo kay Master.
16:09Hehehe.
16:09There!
16:10Wow!
16:10Yes!
16:12Wang!
16:13You got it.
16:13Yeah, there you go.
16:14Maluwang.
16:15Okay?
16:18In-explain sa atin eh.
16:19Very tedious yung process kapag ginagawa nila yung traditional way of printing.
16:24Kailangan nilang hanapin each character.
16:27At yung each character na yun, yung mold kasi in reverse.
16:30But the process of looking for each character na baliktad is just bonkers.
16:39And yung ginagawa ni Master na medyo ano na eh.
16:42Medyo itong industry na ito eh medyo katulad na sinasabi ng tour guide natin eh.
16:48Medyo namamatay na dahil, of course, you know, everything's modern.
16:52We feature anything with heritage so that we can teach our younger generations.
16:58Kasi, sayang eh.
17:01You don't wanna lose this art.
17:04Nasa pangalan ko palang medyo nahirapan na,
17:06Paano pa kaya yung letter?
17:09So ngayon, ginagawa ni Master,
17:12dahil nahanap na niya yung pangalan ko, meaning end.
17:16Nahanap niya yung first line ng letter ko, which is,
17:20Roses are Red.
17:20At mukhang aabo din tayo ng sham-sham.
17:23Dadaanin natin sa magandang layout.
17:25Para may pogi points pa rin ako sasako.
17:28Hindi naman na naiintindihan niya.
17:31Sa hinabahaba man ng paghanap,
17:34ang sulat ko para kami isis,
17:36nabubuna.
17:37This is your name?
17:38That's my name?
17:39Yeah.
17:39The colon?
17:41The colon?
17:41Yeah, Roses is Red.
17:42Roses are Red.
17:43Violets are Blue.
17:44Violets are Blue.
17:45Oh, wow!
17:47And then you bookmark it with stars.
17:50Yeah.
17:51Oh, so nice.
17:52Very nice design.
17:54Matapos buuin, ilalatag na ang mga letra sa printing machine.
18:00Kapag sapat na ang pintura ng assembled na characters, ilalatag na ang papel.
18:04Saka ito, iipitin para malipat ang image.
18:11Ito lang ating traditionally printed letter na full of love and effort para kay misis.
18:17Roses are Red.
18:18Violets are Blue.
18:20And today's?
18:21Today's date.
18:23Wow.
18:24Bravo!
18:25Thank you so much, Master.
18:27I will not sleep outside of the room.
18:39Mission accomplished.
18:44Markado ang next nating Lakwacha dahil dito, going back to the roots talaga ang eksena.
18:50I-ready ang inyong mga paas sa paglalakad sa napakalawak na Mwongping Village.
18:57All in one stop ang lugar na ito para sa historical, spiritual, cultural, at pati na ganap ng tiyan.
19:06Pero bago maglakad-lakad, mapapahinga muna ang mga paa dahil sasakay muna tayo ng cable car.
19:11Pero parang familiar na ito ah.
19:17Geographically placed, nowhere near the city.
19:22Classic ganap ang cable car na ito para makita ang 360 view ng Lantau Island.
19:27This is Mwongping 360.
19:29Ito yung normally sinasakyan ng mga turista paakyat doon sa Big Buda at sa Monastery.
19:39Isa sa mga major tourist destinations dito sa Hong Kong.
19:47Pagkababa ng cable car, simula na ng lakarahan.
19:50Mukhang best place ito para maka 10,000 steps ah.
19:55Guest travel tip din, kapag pupunta kayo dito sa Mwongping,
19:59Come here as early as possible dahil actually may pila na eh.
20:03Pero pagdating mo dito, wala pa masyadong tao.
20:07Pwede kang mag-picture, pwede kang mag-video at hindi pa ganun ka-crowded.
20:18Nasa cable car pa lang, kitang-kita ng iconic na Giant Buda.
20:22At sa malapitan, mas nakamamangha itong tingnan.
20:25You know, 10 years ago when we featured Big Buda,
20:28I think, I think hindi namin na akyat yung taas
20:32dahil parang bawal yata na meron kaming bit-bit na professional cameras.
20:37But today, nakakuha tayo ng permit.
20:41And it's 268 calories.
20:45268 pounds mawawalan sa'yo pag akyat mo.
20:48268 steps paakyat sa Big Buda.
20:51Let's go!
20:54Let's start our 268 step journey.
20:59Konting push pa!
21:01262, 266, 267, 268.
21:07Sa tuktok, peace and quiet ang sasalubong.
21:18Ang nightlife sa Hong Kong, na kilala noong 70s sa matitingkad na neon signs sa mga kalsada.
21:24Ang ganitong vintage na vibes, pinubuhay muli ng kainan na ang inahain hot pot.
21:29Ang signages niya, yung ilaw na ginagamit, yung wall clock doon, very vintage.
21:37Yung parang yung stalls.
21:39Kala mo talagang closed na stalls, but syempre, it's just part of the decoration.
21:45But yeah, even the table, the chairs, the set-up.
21:52Galing, galing, galing. Nakakatawa.
21:53Apparently, they boast of their 20 sauces and a mixture of meats, seafood na susubukan natin.
22:03And I'm very, very hungry. I'm very, very excited.
22:07So, apparently, kaya sila bumabalik-balik or binabalik-balikan ng hot pot anywhere naman in the world because of the
22:15sauce.
22:16So, specifically here, at least you have different choices.
22:21Tinanong ko nga sa kanila, eh, pwede kong haluin that.
22:24Kakao na bahala.
22:25With the meats and the seafood, you have options.
22:28With your soups, you also have options.
22:30This one is the chicken soup.
22:32This one is the medyo, Szechuan, ito yung medyo spicy.
22:36Parang rule of thumb nila, kapag ididip mo yung kung ano man, meat, or yung seafood, whatever, ball,
22:45usually it takes 10 to 20 seconds lang, maluluto na.
22:511,001, 1,002, 1,003, 1,004, 1,005, 1,006, 1,007, 1,008, 1,009, 1,0010,
23:0111, 12, 13, 14, 15.
23:06Boom!
23:0815 seconds.
23:10Okay.
23:11Hindi pa tayo gumagawa ng sauce.
23:12Medyo chineg ko lang naman, okay?
23:15Sinulit na nga ang pinaghalo-halo mga sauce.
23:17Bahala na kung anong magiging lasa sauce ko po.
23:22Uy!
23:34Yung may konting ubo.
23:35Sumirin, may konting sipa.
23:44Ubo.
23:49Mukhang may mga naglalaway na dito sa tabi ko, ah.
23:51Mga katpan, hindi mo talaga pag-sulawista yan, eh. Mas masaya kapag maraming kasat.
24:07Malayo-layo na ang nilakad natin kakabalik sa nakaraan.
24:10At isa sa mga lugar na tumatak sa akin dito sa Hong Kong, ang Central.
24:14One of the many memories ay ang, ah, siyempre, memories with my dad. Lumbuhay pa siya.
24:20So, he come to Hong Kong once a month.
24:23And normally, pumunta kami sa Central.
24:25Specifically, worldwide house.
24:27Dahil kapag Sunday, yung mga OFWs, yun yung free day nila.
24:32Yun yung rest day nila.
24:33So, dun sila, ah, kakausapin na ang tatay ko, na back in the day, abukado, nung buhay pa siya, he
24:40would, you know, give free legal service and advice to OFWs.
24:46Dito rin sa Central, madalas makakabili ng mga pasalubong.
24:49Alam mo, is ko ng mga anak ko. Gusto ka na umuwi.
24:52Pero, bago dahi mo, eh. Bili mo na dahi ng pasalubong.
24:57Sa bilihan ito, quirky at talagang kakaiba ang pwedeng iwi to your loved ones.
25:08Kids?
25:10Sorry.
25:15Money talks.
25:18Siyempre, meron din mga Hong Kong icons dito.
25:21Bata.
25:24Sa pagbabalik natin sa Hong Kong, nanumbalik din ang ilang mga alaala na bumuo sa kabataan ko.
25:30Nung bata pa ako, ito na yung pinupuntahan namin.
25:33Ang dami naming memories with my siblings.
25:35Pero nahalala ko na, hindi namin sasabihin sa hotel na marami kaming mga bata.
25:41Sasabihin sana ng tatay namin,
25:42Uy!
25:43Kung sabihin nas, alam lang nila na kami lang ng nanay nyo.
25:47Okay?
25:48So, kapag may kaka to, pumunta lang kayo sa banyo.
25:51Ilalak namin kayo doon.
25:53Okay?
25:54The best thing about Hong Kong, like what I've been saying or reiterating,
25:59Dito sa city, dami mong pwedeng kainan, dami mong pwedeng pagshoppingan.
26:03Pero dahil adventurous kami magpamilya,
26:07pwede rin kaming mag-taxi at pumunta sa mga bundok at mag-trails.
26:12Dahil yun din yung hilig na.
26:13Yes.
26:14Natural na siguro sa atin ang maghanap at laging sububok ng bago.
26:17Roses are red, violets are blue.
26:21Pero hindi ba minsan masaya rin balikan ang mga dati nating naranasan?
26:25Maikukumpara natin ang mga pagbabago.
26:27Mapapansin ang mga nag-iba.
26:29So good.
26:30So good.
26:32Pero tiyak na may mga alaalang may iwan at pakiramdam na hindi mapapalitan
26:38gaya ng pagbisita natin sa siyudad ng Hong Kong.
26:41Gano'n man ako kadalas makatapak sa mga lupa nito.
26:44Ika relax lang kayo guys.
26:46Nawa lang to.
26:48Palagi naman itong may naiiwang puwang sa aking puso.
