C: It’s a city of seven million people in just over eleven hundred square
kilometres. This is one of the most densely populated areas in the
entire world. We’re in Hong Kong. I’m Carmen Roberts and my job as a
travel journalist is to ditch the skyscrapers and the shopping centres
and get to the heart of Hong Kong and find out what makes this city
tick. So my editor will text me a series of challenges. The only rules: no
tourists and no guide books. We are going local.
First challenge: Where to find the best milk tea in Hong Kong?
Gong yingman? Gong yingman?

M1: What?

CR: Do you speak English?

M1: A little bit.

CR: I’m looking for the best milk tea place in Hong Kong.

M1: What?

W1: Do you know the Lan Fong Yuen in Gage street? The milk flavour is so
elegant and so smooth.

M2: It’s milk tea, the best.

C: Okay. Milk tea. Ah, Lan Fong Yuen. Gong Laai cha. The tea is really
really strong but it’s also very sweet. It’s quite refreshing actually when
it’s a hot day here in Hong Kong. Mmm.
Okay. Next challenge: find a shop where I can buy locally made goods.
Hello, hello, hi there. Come on. I need some help. Just really quickly,
really quickly. Surely this girl’s local.
Where can I find a shop that sells locally made goods? Made in Hong
Kong?

W2: The steaming dim sum.

M3: The steamer. You can buy in Sai Ying Pun area. You can take the
tram.

C: Thank you. This is a bit harder than I thought it would be. I found a
place to go but how do I get there? There’s some mini-buses,
mini-buses, taxis… Hugo, where’s the tram? Oh.

Jackpot! Yes! Hello. It looks quite authentic. There’s a man making


bamboo baskets. It’s amazing. Look at the rows and row and rows of
bamboo baskets as far as the eye can see.
How long does is take you to make one?

M4: About half hour.

C: Half hour, that’s all. Wow! You’re fast. I’ve always wanted a bamboo
steamer. Might make a present for my mum.
Final challenge: Where do locals go to have fun? What do you do for
fun?

M5: I break now. I go to lunch. I go dancing. Dancing. Hip hop. Yes. Oh.

C: Hi there.

W3: Hi.

C: What do local people around here do for fun?

W3: Oh. I think karaoke is good fun here.

M6: Karaoke.

W3: There’s a place like right next door actually called Red Mister or
something. It’s good to make fun of yourself once in a while, right?

C: Yeah. Easy for you to say.


Look, I see a sign. Red Mister. Ooh. Check it out. It’s like a disco.
There’s these two people pashing in here! Ooh ooh, sorry. Ha ha!
Oops.
Hi, can I join you?

W4: Pick a song that you can definitely sing. A classic.

C: Something easy.
