    Thanks to you, cooking with Lau and a few others I'm am slowly increasing my Asian cooking ingredients. I just bought Chinese vinegar (I'm so excited about it because I love my food vinrgary too) and some hot chili crisp oil. I'm excited to use them. I'm going to make some dumplings this weekend and use the vinegar and chili oil for dipping sauce. I've always known Asian was my favorite food genre but I've never really cooked those foods. I'm excited for this new kitchen adventure.

    Hey Milkey Chan. Huge fan of yours here in Vancouver. My wife and friends are a part of Asian Impact Society, a NPO that creates awareness on the rising incidences of asian discrimination since the onset of COVID. They are planning an event that hopes to unite people through the love of food. If you’re around the Vancouver area on August 13,2022. please consider attending the event as I’m sure there will be many fans that love your content on both your channels.

      It looks like it was made for Instagram and frequented by the sort that tear down original Polish flats in Chicago and put up the big square generic mansions with underground parking that remove street parking for everyone else, yet building them close to El stations so they can leave their cars parked under their house while pushing working class people further from the train.

    The food at The Girl and the Goat looks good. But pricy for the portion sizes. $17 for the empanadas, $17 for the oysters, $23 for the pig face, and $34 for that pork shank. That adds up pretty quick. I like the concept, but it seems a bit overpriced.

And I highly recommend Elephant and Castle pub, very good food there too and connected to the Club Quarters Hotel.
