Gut twisting food | Hong kong | Dr Pal

hello guys we are here in Hong Kong snake soup what do you think about snake [Music] soup guys look at this oh my [Music] [Applause] [Music] God is it a is it Turtle meat or oh my God hello guys we are here in Hong Kong we're going to try the street food I'm going to tell you whether it is gut friendly or not this guy is very concerned about the hmpv virus you like it baby is it healthy why is it healthy fruits it's more tastier than what is available in the US or India correct do you have a small bag why it's because of the sugar look at this thank look at this oh my God look at this it's nothing but sugar because of your vacation you can eat it okay okay thank you doesn't matter you eat you eat you don't like that I sugar you don't like the sugar P good job that's pretty good guys look at this oh my God it's like completely waxed around the food M I don't want the sugar how is it too too sugary yeah we not used to sugar left ah oh my God but this is the most selling fruit over there oh my God okay guys the first street food sugary fruits Kulu gut health two out of 10 of and everybody is eating like so well right so well so well I'm asking my kid to eat it and he's not eating guys the next street food is fish ball with a curry wow let's try the fish ball next one is steamed fish dumpling steamed pork dumpling we don't want pork no pork fish fish is okay we paid so much to come to Hong Kong I'm going to try this out okay this is soy sauce sweet soy sauce okay I'm actually scared okay okay all right okay see but one important thing is there is no fiber at all nothing nothing but lot of protein Su okay okay sumai what is sumai steamed fish okay sumai steamed fish dumpling guys this is steamed fish dumpling okay I put the soy sauce here and this  no no okay see guys look at this it's like a p you know the fish is being stuck in between two pieces and I don't know how to eat with this so they gave me a spoon I asked for a folk they gave me spoon okay the sck use a stick oh okay I'm going to eat the the stick I don't know how it is I don't know how it is it's like M it's like in m [Music] [Music] are you okay baby continue I think this is not for me let me go and try something fibrous maybe my gut bacteria is not ready to digest this that's the most important thing the Second Street foot it might be good but for me I didn't like it that much but for nutrition wise protein is very good but uh no fiber okay we're going to search for fiber fiber fiber fiber so guys the most important thing is that you know I'm not able to digest this because my gut bacteria is not used to this Hong Kong food that's the most important thing so similarly even for you let's say you don't like Raja J something like that even healthy foods are same thing you know sometimes initially you will not like it but eventually when you keep eating it you'll be able to eat it that doesn't mean that if I keep eating the fish ball I will be able to eat it but I don't want to guys we're going to try the next Heat food called mango muchi correct oh we're going to indulge but look at this oh my God soft like a wow baby healthy unhealthy unhealthy good job I'm proud of you you know that healthy unhealthy unhealthy what okay try this Cy KY [Music] C it's like [Music] jelly this is made of sticky rice so obviously look rich and carb okay mango has a lot of fiber mango has a lot of fiber um but this one actually compensates for it so basically it is not that bad and not that good um so it is in [Music] between this one's really good the other way to eat this is you can take this and eat the mango alone good question mango mchi on a scale of 1 to 10 I would say around 4 to 5 so everybody over here here is waiting to eat the fish ball that we just had not only in us not only in India everywhere everybody is with their mobile phones which is very very good good news for all the tank companies here comes the money here we go 30 p.m. here right now the time is around 7:00 my son is going with the tour guide both of them looks like from Hong Kong so that is okay this is turtle turtle soup oh my God look at this this is Turtles I think it's meat I don't know is this honey is this honey um sweet sweetone sugar sugar yeah you can put together after make some s some little bit yeah okay you warm more later okay okay is it a is it Turtle meat or bones I see oh they using the shells bones of the previous the turtles the tortoise jelly gu lingo the traditional Chinese Health tonic yeah good to skin okay I'm going to become glow after this no it's not Turtle it's just like uh the bones and the shells of the previous turtoise toris and turtle and it's a Chinese herb so we're going to try it okay ready I scared I am scared okay this looks like a dark Indian tea if you add sugar it is it is it is manageable no I don't know it looks like a tea bitter tea you a bitter tea and when you add the sugar it's not that bad actually but you know one very important thing is maybe if it is natural and Whole Foods like this it might be okay many people have taken Chinese herbal Chinese supplements in a cap so causing liver injury as well so I think I strongly believe in traditional medicine so probably this is okay but it I'm just concern about the taste it's okay it's okay if my skin is going to be like nandar skin then I think it's [Music] okay skin then it's okay why Blood s blood okay my gut rating for turtle soup is not that bad it's okay I'm not sure whether that is any beneficial effects for the gut but if you believe in traditional medicine probably it is good for your gut and it is not that bad as well maybe you can try it snake soup what do you think about snake soup it's a typical street food eating experience we ordered one snake suit small size for this boy this boy and this lady oh the snake the snake you want to try it you want to try so guys snake super I really scared of the meat meat the meat meat mint mint so this looks like you know similar to our Indian tradition you know that is we put the kotam coriander some yeah on the top of it like that oh chss your life risk for your YouTube subscribers what are we supposed to do okay try anything okay we're going to pray good God please make sure the snake soup is okay huh [Music] really good oh my God it's really good of course he's saying of course only the winter only the winter huh yes why what happens in summer uh no because pleas grateful for your bought IND do just put four chips on you gut standpoint snakes are rich in protein obviously there's no fiber but but one thing is you know we don't eat snakes here in India and also in the US they're not that common but they are rich in protein one of the most proteinous food but if they are giving in this much amount of soup in a nice way why not I think it's it's good try the chippy one yeah and eat the big one hey I said eat the chippy eat the chippy who ate the chippy very niceu one parcel for Vish Priya ragavan from India she has a YouTube channel called priia pal yes she's going to it the picn will pack lemon rice tamaron rice and Mar in Hong Kong to come out we have packed fruit bowls popcorns while pal is busy making videos we are busy eating our food fish that we order it's a steamed fish okay so fish is so much rich in omega-3 fatty acids rich in protein lean quality protein and usually they serve it with rice baby baby fish is good sa going to taste it super the first food that is was very good actually steamed fish is good even in India and West Bengal and all of those Eastern they eat it it retains nutrients much better so good best you know if you want to come to Hong Kong please try steamed fish I think you can skip the snake suit kind baby yeah okay this one see sometimes when I eat like fresh fish with like you know the eyes in the mouth you know the eyeballs coming out it makes me question to be honest whether I should be a nonvegetarian but you know we don't want to go into like ethical principle but in general I like fish and chicken a lot so guys wonderful time wonderful time on Hong Kong street food experience remember the more you try more more you test your pallet the more gut bacteria that you develop so next time when I come to Hong Kong or any Southeast Asian food my gut bacteria will be in a better place to actually handle all these food remember your gut bacteria is malleable so exactly similar to if you don't like anything good you can change it so that you will start liking it that's a beauty of a gut bacteria overall the street food experience was the first one was the fish was absolutely amazing steamed fish lean quality protein and snake soup okay and then all the other Foods were only okay for me let me know in the comment section in terms of what you will eat when you are on Hong Kong until then see you bye-bye stay happy stay gy may God bless you okay bye-bye China bye-bye bye-bye China boys
