    We just ate dinner there, about an hour ago. What an incredible dinner we had. Service was quick and polite and extremely affordable. One of the best Chinese meals I've eaten period.

    Woohoo!! This is my childhood favourite! They started in a corner shed just down the road with a zinc roof and huge ventilation fans cos it was so hot and smoky. The owner used to be the expert calculator, making calculations in his head and always joking with patrons. So proud of tek seng! Best dai chow ever!

    I am a firm believer-what we call here the old People's dinning time 4:30 pm Just before it gets crazy- Especially on Saturday- is when to hit the restraint. Love to see u2 and your experiences. Thank you from Louisville, KY.

    WOW! That was some amazing dishes and food! Chinese food is the best food in the world and culinary! I LOVE chinese food!!!
    That fish curry looked absolutely wonderful. (I am soooo jealous.) I feel so inspired. I am trying to learn more about cooking South East Asian nowadays, and I really feel inspired by the dishes you were filming! Yesterday for lunch I made a fusion between Italian and South East Asian foods. For carbs, i had pasta (mezze maniche). And for the protein on the plate, I stir fried pork and then made it into a tomato sauce with lentils. I used one whole bird's eye chili and half a big red chilli. The dish came out amazing!!The best part was the bird's eye chilli and the red chilli (big smile!). I still have a lot left over since yesterday! Happy days for my freezer.
    Thank you, and one day I am gonna try to make a fish curry, I think!!!! The dish seemed AWE-SOME !!!!!
    Love and Peace from Sweden!!!!

    Those were not potato leaves, which are highly toxic, like tomato leaves. They had to be sweet potato. Also, leaves and young stems of the morning glory, which is closely related to the sweet potato, are edible. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, MARK!!!
