Great documentary , but culture is not all lost in Hong Kong, hey at least where i live, Australia , there is bascially no culture ! haha. the country founded by rejects and prisoners from england, and now its considered a multicultural country, so it all mix with everything, chinese, south east asians, koreans, japs, greeks italians, new zealanders !. So just want to say don't be worried cutlure will always be there , at least from a foreign point of view, Hong Kong will still be unique.

[mminkous]

That "British" accent is too deliberate... but good job exposing some hidden gems of the city...

LOL The host's loud voice when introducing the dai pai dong in Central shocked the customers behind him- hilarious!

But anyway, this video is very well done. It's like getting a backstage pass to some of these places. I have been to all types of restaurants featured here, and have always wondered about the origin of the "unspoken" rules for each one.

In response to the modernization of HK, it is inevitable. But I am still able to find preservations of tradition around each corner. :)
