I like the back story to how the first dish was created. It reminded me of mulligatawny soup:
Indian meals are traditionally served all at once, the containers placed in the center of the table, family-style.
During the British Raj in India, between 1858 and 1947, the British Officers and soldiers refused to alter their way of dining, which usually included a soup course.
There wasn’t really an Indian soup, so the servants would water down one of their favorite dishes, milagu tannir, which translates to pepper water in Tamil, a southern Indian dialect. The pronunciation gradually then became mulligatawny, as it’s known today.
They took it back to Britain, where it’s fairly common and sold in stores to this day.
There is then the famous story about chicken tikka masala, created in Glasgow when a patron in an Indian restaurant in the 1970s asked for some 'gravy' to go with his chicken tikka, and so a masala sauce was added. It is now one of the most popular Indian dishes in the UK.

As your guide mentioned, there have been a lot of changes over the years, particularly since Hong Kong's governance was handed back to China.
I was a kid when we lived in Kowloon in the late '70's, and I have vivid memories of what we used to call 'Stinky's market', a collection of street vendors and outdoor eating, with plenty of unique dishes unlike anywhere else in the world. It was common to see fresh octopus grilling in the street, and many other great dishes. Lots of memories from that time.

I got goosebumps when I saw you at the Central Rama IX store last Sunday doing VLOG. I'm the only one in my family who knows you and I try to explain to my family what an incredible person you are. One thing comes to mind. I need to take a photo with you, but I can't because you're doing your job.
Still my lucky Sunday: D
Love you!

Mark, you always chose best restaurant I never saw you saying restaurant that we shouldn't try. I think it will be good if you show what we shouldn't try Thai or other countries as well. That will give a fair rating or develop trust with your viewers. Just a suggestion.

Many foodies might possibly not be aware that high end Japanese inns offer rice cooked at high temperatures in a ceramic pot called a kama ) that produces tasty crispy rice on the bottom like HK clay pot.

The foods in Hong Kong look way less appealing than street food in Thailand, not to mention the ridiculous price level set on those so-called street food.
It's a shame for all Hong Kongers

We never see Sonny's wife so if it wasn't for Mark's wife appearing now & again, I'd swear Sonny & Mark were married (hence they visit the same places about the same time as each other.
