About this episode
In this episode, Kristen and Asher hop aboard the Culture Train to Hong Kong to explore its lively streets, sounds, and flavors. They meet Ms. Dan Song, teacher, author, and taichi coach and learn about her Our City Adventure series, including why Hong Kong is one of her featured cities.
Together, they taste Hong Kong style egg tarts with their golden flaky crusts and silky custard filling, learn the history of how these treats came to be, and talk about the unique mix of languages and traditions that make Hong Kong so special.
You’ll hear Asher’s first big bite reaction, Ms. Dan’s stories about her students and writing, and fun facts about Hong Kong’s mix of city energy, countryside escapes, and delicious food culture. You’ll even get a peek at what makes dim sum so much more than just a meal...it’s a way to gather with friends and family.
This episode shows how even a small pastry can carry big stories and bring people together.
