Westerners definitely return the pink chicken all the time. Do you tell them in advance that it is a little pink? I'm Singaporean and I accept pink chicken.
Why is it in Bali ?
no need all of this to eat some food and have a job to get payed,busy places with lower standards makes more money then this starving place
Pretty dope ! Looks like a great experience
sounds like a toxic workplace, lol
yeah... i thought the same...
Before I watch this video, where can I get this chicken rice
are uncle Lip is from Malaysia?
Who's going to Bali to eat this :S
Awesome, aiming for presence no matter the staff or region. Breaking the mould
Thanks Mr Tibbs. It’s a very raw doco that we’ve had the privilege of capturing. And I hope others will recognise the value of seeing the mould being broken like you have :)
@StoryBites. I would hope we can develop our selves as chefs and people across sections wether it be fine dine or being called upon to cook 200 different cuts of beef on the char grill. The headline drew me in because every artist has to have a certain level of tension within their body. Chefs are artists of food and building quick productive meaningful working relationships those with whom they are working with and serving. Being selfless in your communication and owning that slipp because of lack openess before or during service will save a heap sweat mental energy. I see this what the kiwi is Chef trying to create. P,S We are excessively well trained here in NZ all sections. Anyway🙌🙌💯
Notice no one is wearing hairnets in a food manufacturing facility 🤔
I understand where you are coming from. I am sure they have met all required health and safety regulations
Conquer social media and you can sell anything! In the UK we have spudman.
True! I’ll need to visit one day
Good quality Wonton Noodle Soup can be difficult to find. I am a connoisseur taster of this dish 📡 The quality of the wonton is very important. The quality of the broth is very important, the quality of the noodles 🍜 is very important. When ready to serve it should be steaming hot, then add bok choy 🥬 a dash of sliced spring onion, a pinch of fresh beanshoots, and a smidgen of fresh coriander. And these Asian restaurants need to make sure chilli oil & lite premium soy sauce & salt& pepper is on the table 🌶️ Many Asian restaurants don't have salt& pepper on the table. This is their way of insulting the Westerner (passive aggressive psychology technique). Their way of getting one over you and saying up-yours, but you can't prove it. Ancient subtle oriental techniques. There is the same recipe but with peking duck instead of wantons. PS: Too many Asian food dishes rely on MSG to artificially enhance it. That's why you all think yum yum yummy when you eat at Asian restaurants. It's a cheap trick - the MSG. A true chef doesn't need MSG, it's cheating.
Thank you so much for your comment, it’s obvious that you are well attuned to the importance of seasoning and timings in the kitchen. Let us know what else you’d like to see on this channel
No! Money launderers
That’s a bit excessive.
So I can't comment? Who actually traded my works? Watch or cookie?
@StoryBites. So now it just changed to another country? All these networks change without notifying me.
@@Mhcmhc1987 of course you can :) just our response to your 3 word comment that’s all. Tell us more
This kinda food is worth way more than pretentious Michelin stuff
Haha comfort food can turn the hardest critique soft like jelly. It’s what touches the heart ❤️
❤
❤️❤️❤️
Inspiring and heartwarming. Lovely seeing these good folks making an honest living. I wish them all the best!
Thank you so so much for your kind words!!
$69.9/kg...nice... Actual goddamn $8.67 a 124g slice seems expensive.
You’ve done the math! It’s not cheap, but the beauty is slicing to your desired size. Beats a $60 cake that you never wanted right?
@@StoryBites. There are far better cakes for $60. Even making your own or at a sit down restaurant. I'd even go to the extent of buying a premade frozen cheesecake from a grocery store for less.
its hipster bullshit but whatever floats your boat
Hahaha that is brutally honest my brother. How you doin?
We are immigrants but you are lucky to eat this quality off food. ❤🙏
We are so grateful for immigrants like Joyful to come and serve their comfort foods to the people of this city
You have beautiful personality God bless you and be with you everyday 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for your kind words ❤️❤️
I love this story and will visit them when I can. Thank you for a beautifully crafted documentary of this restaurant family. Wishing them the success they deserve.
That’s very kind of you Alice. We so appreciate you showing up to watch our docos every time
I need to make this!! 😊 Been under the weather since Thanksgiving. [Edit: yes, you read my mind!]
Haha awesome to hear. Hope you get well soon!!
@StoryBites. Thank you! 😊
Beautiful story. I love this. The dedication of this man travelling around to find authenticity and to do justice to his dishes and his wife supporting him. You guys presented this with heart. Well done.
Travelling the world proved they cared about what they were serving. We are so lucky to have them in Melbourne!
Please open one in Auckland
Absolutely! I’m sure they are considering
What a creativity of flavors and passion! This is a beautiful portrait, and I love watching this kind of thing on UA-cam.
Awh thank you so much. This is the kind of content we set out to make from day 1. Im so glad you like it
Passionate about cooking
Sooo passionate right?
No matter where, do your best cook
Absolutely! Put your everything into anything you say yes to
Cantonese food quality👍
100%% 🫡🫡🫡
I bought Shin Ramyun days ago, but until now I did not cook it because I'm thinking what's the best other ingredients that I can put in to my noodles. Well, that's one of the reason. The other reason is... I'm not a fan of spicy food... I just bought this just because... The last time I ate this ramyun was years ago and I still remember how I did not finish that food because it was spicy and just gave it to my father who I thought loves spicy (but he's not, he just finished the food because it's bad to left the food unfinished). Anyways, I'm gonna eat this later at midnight... maybe.
Let us know how to goes! :) tag us on instagram @StoryBites._
Gorgeous story! Thank you so much for sharing this. 🙌🙌🙌
Thank you so so much for your kind words
The reason is to earn money, make a living. A good reason. I cannot identify the type of wanton they are making with what is sold by hawkers? Maybe its a home recipe. It is a good home cooking.
Good home cooking! I think it has ties to Guangzhou:) Yes we all gotta make a living :)
@@StoryBites. Loss in migration. .. the food may not be real cantonese too. This is a New Zealand story.
@ authenticity is an interesting concept isn’t it? I think if we truly look back to the origins of where food came from - we can’t fully say food is purely from one place.
This is sheer passion. It's probably one of the best qualities in humanity.
Julie is one the most down to earth people we know :!
Your wonton skin is too thick.I preferred a thinner skin
Each to their own :)
God blessyoy all!!!
Bless you too!
I wish they are in Auckland😢
Haha maybe one day?
What a beautiful story of perseverance, community, modesty and just life itself. These are great people. Thank you for making this video.
Absolutely. This is what makes humanity so inspiring
Everywhere Chinese go, they bring culture and great food 😅😊
Absolutely! Usually through food is where we see culture come through in ways that invite everyone in to enjoy
literally the best noodles
Facts!
Uh, $70 per kg ? Are you absolutely shtting me. No wonder these guys are happy, they are completely ripping people off with that profit margin. lmao. The cheesecake looks tasty tho but that price is insane. Worst case they are making 100% ROI on every slice sold, but its probably more than that when you consider they obviously buy in bulk.
Interesting assessment on the profit margin :) are you in hospo too?
@@StoryBites. No, but looking at the price shown in the video on one of the slices I simply used what they shown and it clearly shows $69.99/kg. Now its up to you to decide if you think thats a fair price but by any measure payment $70/kg for cheesecake is on par with 5 star restaurants (who also rip people off) and not on par at all for a generic cheesecake shop. Lets not fool ourself, the cheesecake is likely really good and the profit margin is massive so I have no doubt the clients are happy and the shop is happy about the profit margins. My only gripe is that those profit margins is what drives inflation, so people supporting these over the top price tag shops should never moan about above normal inflation ticking upwards because its these institutions combined that is the leading cause of that exploitation.
They were running away from CCP suppression.
what do you mean Summer?
@StoryBites. I meant that they wanted to open a Wonton noodle soup, but they also wanted freedom in a Western country.
2:48, she pushes the dough against the wall :/
That’s normal :)
@@StoryBites. it's normal if the wall is clean. there are crack on the wall and it is not smooth, and clearly it is not the wall built for food making. It's not food on the street and it's not something to be smiley about. That kind of sand/cement/pain in your mouth while chewing food is normal only for you!
God bless uncle lip
God bless you too
Running a business in a food service industry is not for the faint of heart. It is a lot of hard work and no real rest underneath.
That’s right! It isn’t easy, but it’s all worth it if it’s truly what you want to do
Wow, what an amazing character!
He’s pretty amazing
This is one of them vids where I am like "I'm gonna go to this restaurant".
Awh that’s so nice to hear
These chefs need to befriend a statistician and learn all about experimental design. Things like poaching a chicken for chicken rice can be easily described in a fractional experiment and will massively cut down the time and waste of incorrect chicken.
Sounds interesting! Tell me about your calculations
I love his humble attitude and faith in God ❤
God bless you!!
looks great and id love to try but he's missing a trick not having seating and not serving coffee's with all that space!
Haha it’s deliberate I think!
It will be ideal to mention on the vid the restaurant is at Christchurch.
We did :)
As a Cantonese, you make feel so proud!
