Edward seems not to enjoy making the video. quite. not full of expression different than Mike. Sheldon at the beginning seems flat but gets more cheerful in the followings
Umami or however its spelled is not a english word! Only reason i know of it is because i heard it in food wars, a japanese anime about food when describing the umami of tomatoes or of some seaweed soup. Based on this, the closest english word to umami is simply "flavour" or it could be "tangy" altho "tangy" is more of a slang then a word as it is not used eveywhere. The 5 main flavousr are Salty, Sweet, Bitter, Spicy and Sour. But Umami is not like any of those 5. Tangy is often applied to describe spicy foods but also goes with tomatoe based foods which are not spicy. Like Umami, tangy is not really a specific flavor and is too broad a term. Therefore, it will forever stay as a slang and never officially be a word.
@@abracadabra16234Why indian? All they have is food that will burn your throat and they dont even have beef. Indian food is sooo bad. I know i'm being awfully negative here, but i went to 12 indian restaurant so far and it was all the same! Poor people food that has been over spiced. I know india is where most spices come from, but thats no reason to 20 different spices in a plain rice... Its just rice! But there is so many spices that i cant even taste the rice! Spices are supposed to add flavour to the main course, not be the main course! I'm going to a Pakistani restaurant just because i am angered by your suggestions and i know indians hates Pakistan.
Okay, A few correction about your Master chef's comments. Traditionally, soup is served at the end the meal in the old country, and not beginning of the meal. It signals the end of the meal. Chinese food didn't have dessert other than orange wedges. unless it is a special occasion when they will serve sho bao (birthday bun), hung dao salle (red bean soup), or po dean (tapioca pudding with lotus paste). a popular slang in the old day was- you have a soup lady? This implies you have a mistress. la tong is usually free which most restaurant don't make money on it (this is western hemisphere custom).
Nah Edward is right about the chicken corn soup. I made it for a white friend of mine in college who later went on to become a chef, dude was blown away by how good it was. After his first bowl he asked for a recipe and then went on to eat another 2-3 bowls in the same sitting S+ ranking for sure
@@J0Pek i guarantee you the chicken corn soup is better than the watercress soup they put in A tier. also chicken corn soup fits the white person palette way more
@@greenislandserenade1 Yea honestly ur right, I've never had it but just the name sounds better lol. Chicken corn soup sounds a lot better than watercress soup. Probably just a discrepancy while filming the video and having to rate so many things.
Watching Eric have so much fun is a huge difference from the Eric before like this guy is so high on life i love him lowkey like i only watch these videos to see him ngl
As someone thats born and raised in HK, when you asked about the thousand island dressing shrimp being a canto dish or white washed dish..I would expect 2 cantos knowing the answer to that question.
Edward got off easy! Both Mike and Sheldon got heavily roasted by Eric. There were noticeable moments Eric struck a nerve with each of them. I hope it’s just cuz they’re great friends.
@@seleriemrI saw that too. There comes a point where Eric just came off as unnecessarily rude. The other guys are obviously not chefs, I wouldn’t expect them to know anything about food or cooking.
@@MikeyCh09 That's what passionate people do when others make light of what they do or pretend like they know what they're talking about. Some of their comments were just silly, like I get they're not chefs but any home cook would find some of things they said annoying. I get he may come off as rude but any master like him is gonna think like this. Since they're friends he's doesn't feel like he has to hide his thoughts.
22:30 Fish scent eggplant clay pot dish actually does have fish in it as a Cantonese dish. It use the dried salty fish minced it very fine and mix with the base of the sauce
If some non-Chinese ppl think eating Hainanese Chicken is “weird” because it’s cold, then why do they think it’s not weird to have cold chicken in salads and sandwiches? That confuses me… I could understand the gelatinous texture of the skin being ‘foreign’ to them though (which you can be removed easily & not eaten).
Don't forget that the chicken would be bone in, which of course wouldn't be present in salads and sandwiches. Overall I think it's just a mindset caused by seeing a chicken presented in a different way.
Probably because taste is a very subjective thing… I love the taste of chicken regardless of it being cold or not. Also have friends/acquaintances who either like cold chicken or don’t.
@@k-dawgHI Totally agree, my thoughts as well. Taste is subjective indeed and there are Asians who may not like cold chicken as well. Growing up, I didn’t like Hainanese Chicken but learned to like it later in life. That is why I was confused why they pointed out that it is “white ppl” who find it weird or dislike it (I think they were implying non-Asians). I think it is more of a personal preference thing and although cultural exposure could sometimes be of influence on preferences, but not always. Just like chicken feet or durian, different cultures like or dislike it. It’s not usually a particular ethnicity that likes or dislikes it. It’s just personal preference.
@@kevwwong Yes, I don’t think it has anything to do with taste. Some people are just more ‘sensitive’ to different textures or different ways food is prepared other than what they are used to. I disagree with their repeated claims about “white ppl” dislikes because then they’re just stereotyping. There are plenty of Asians who also don’t like Hainanese Chicken and other Chinese cold chicken dishes. Conversely, there are plenty of Asians who love sweet and/or sour, deep-fried westernized Chinese dishes like General Tao’s Chicken, so it’s not necessarily a “white person’s” preference. It’s simply personal preference, not necessarily based on race. There are different ethnicities (including some white ppl) who prefer to avoid western-influenced dishes and opt to stick to authentic, traditional Chinese dishes.
Velvetize is when you add corn starch to the meat to make it that next level texture. It is the ultimate technique to take an average cut of meat to that melt in your mouth texture. I’m Korean and I know that.
omg ur eating at 满庭芳！I go there like everyday when I live in Toronto. They have super cheap lunch combos with free soup and tea, so it's like a daily cafeteria for many students.
24:30 - Hokkian fried rice is a Chinatown special and came from Hong Kong 茶餐厅 (diners?) and has nothing to do with place which it drew it's name (FuJian/Hokkian) where you won't be able to find it, similar to Singapore fried vermicelli (星洲炒米, can't find it in Singapore) or West Lake beef thick(?) soup (西湖牛肉羹, can't find it in XiHu, Hangzhou) 福建炒饭 is definitely S tier and introduced it to my children who agree wholeheartedly
I feel like I only ever watch videos from this channel when Eric is in them. I don’t mean that as an insult or criticism either. Like, the algorithm only brings this channel’s videos to me when Eric is featured.
Hahahah omg Erics facial expressions after the lobster reminds me of my buddy after EDC. Awake enough to enjoy life and everything else... But just barely 😂

Next go to an Indian restaurant with Eric and rank the menu there :)

“I’ve been Chinese pretty much my whole life.” What were you before that Mike?
Indian?
Came to say this too 0.0000001%
years ago, i was chinese
😮

eric dissing sheldon every time he asked a question was funny asf 💀

S+ ranking for sure
Chicken corn soup is Devine
It could be don't get me wrong. The point of the video is to rate the taste of the dish they are eating, not what you can make!

Eric being drunk is funny asf 😂
ERic insulting sheldon was also funny asf LMAO
Lol
drunk??? He was GONE lmao he hit the close eyed sway then slumped down to eat
Drunk Eric + Sheldon asking questions is a hilarious combo 🤣
eric should be a regular if he wasnt as busy this is very enjoyable to watch
Fr
Eric will lose his sanity xD
nah hes an arrogant dickhead. bro got success in life and turned insufferable
Eric is such a chill dude who has so much compassion for cooking. It's just so cool.
Fam he’s been flaming cantomando the whole video 😂 what’s chill about that. I like the dude but chill is not the right trait
@@kennadien5306 lol, you're right.
Compassion? I would say he has more passion than compassion for cooking 😅
@@JH-nu7wv chill? We watching the same video? He’s an ass
@@DiHiongTan 😂 he feels compassion for how shit everyone else is at cooking compared to him. Maybe they were going for something like that… let’s hope
“Now, I’ve been Chinese pretty much my whole life” are words I’d never thought I’d hear
Eric is like a special kind of relative, gets drunk after 1 shot and burns all the younglings 😂😂😂
Got the Craig’s right behind u
Should've asked that white family to give a rating as well
💀
I love these!!! Eric being real and on business no sugar coating bs. Chef don't play around with foods
Eric drunk is the best reaction ever😂
Love ur channel cantomando❤
i see Eric I click! so nice to see the 3 of them back together again!
Eric roasting them always brutal🤣
LMAO Eric looks soooo fucking done with this, mans was dying at the end XD
11:24 - 11:34
Eric crashing out at Sheldon for being stupid and uncultured is so funny 😂
i feel kinda bad for sheldon
@@rabikhan589 Not sure who these people are but some sound no cap dumbasses trying to appear smart
I love these videos. Especially ones featuring Eric to give another level of critique. The cooking videos are awesome too
As someone thats born and raised in HK, when you asked about the thousand island dressing shrimp being a canto dish or white washed dish..I would expect 2 cantos knowing the answer to that question.
I'm just glad that this place didn't have the shrimp and fruit salad.
eric is finally back
the crazy part of sheldon asking about bbq pork is that they have a video of jack the bbq chef making it on this channel
I am a simple man Eric + Catomando = click
Simple man, but good choices
Edward got off easy! Both Mike and Sheldon got heavily roasted by Eric. There were noticeable moments Eric struck a nerve with each of them. I hope it’s just cuz they’re great friends.
the entire video, Edward seems not lively compared to the two host. Eric is just the same.
yeah i noticed too they looked annoyed in some parts
@@seleriemrI saw that too. There comes a point where Eric just came off as unnecessarily rude. The other guys are obviously not chefs, I wouldn’t expect them to know anything about food or cooking.
@@MikeyCh09 i think a lot of it is the gimmick, his other videos he roasts them a lot but yeah it gets boring

Eric has become so much more confident since masterchef canada, you love to see it
Edward's annoyed and Sheldon's fucking pissed LMAO
Eric acting as the group's lecturer who roasts everyone is so funny
Always nice to see all three of you! Also Eric Chong yes 🔥
Eric always fun to see in your videos!! He's like the canto mando big bro home from college bullying his younger brothers LOL!
eric is the king of roasting cantomando
I’m a simple man, I see Eric on the thumbnail, I click the video. His chemistry with the squad is impeccable
Love these types of videos so good
22:30 Fish scent eggplant clay pot dish actually does have fish in it as a Cantonese dish. It use the dried salty fish minced it very fine and mix with the base of the sauce
Yes and you can tell when they dont add the salty fish in the dish.
Drunk Eric was belligerent and funny and I am here for it.
Cantomando videos never dissapoint! 💯
This video is both incredibly informational and comedy gold 😂
One of the best videos recently because of the personality

It’s becuase white people are weird as fuck

Eric roasting Sheldon every chance he gets. 😂
lol you guys review half of the menu while drunk. I love it
I love watching y’all’s videos
❤️❤️❤️
I've never seen Eric laugh and smile like that 😅
That’s a crazy amount of food. Eric is so into himself. The 2 guys is not trying even to talk to him.
Eric is so condescending. Rude af.

Happy algorithm got me here love these series 😊
KEEEEP BRINGING ERIC BACK!
Yezzzzzz... Eric Chong is back!!! FINALLY.
THESE GUYS ARE THE BEST
eric with the biggest superiority complex
Now I understand why they use round rotating ufo tables in chinese restaurants
Hell yeah big bro Eric is back!
this chef is dope. He knows what he is talking about
We need more Eric videos!! It's so entertaining and hilarious
lets goooooooo, more eric chong!!!!! love it!!!!
"Do you know what a yinyang looks like?" 😂😂😂
omg ur eating at 满庭芳！I go there like everyday when I live in Toronto. They have super cheap lunch combos with free soup and tea, so it's like a daily cafeteria for many students.
Eric: Do you understand the words coming out of my mouth?!
He’s back to the channel😂😂 love bro
Yall did your boy bogus with the "+10000 Forehead" lmfao
"Its not quite there." sounds like something literally every reviewer said to Edward?
Eric’s passion for food his admirable, he doesn’t play about his craft 😂🤌🏾 even in a drunk state
this is 1 of he best i've seen so far
I remember this from when y'all try to go live but still don't understand how to use UA-cam yet
eric is drunk af, cant even hold me laughing out loud
One shot and one beer got Eric this drunk? He was so far gone towards the end 😂
7:22 Fun Triggered Eric Is Always Hilarious To Me 😂
14:07 Craig was intrigued.
HAHAHAH
As a white guy I love the fat on meat
5:45 it's "aromatics" lol. "Aromat" is a brand of seasoning salt lol
Aromats is short for aromatics
Bro I'm not going to lie this was so funny man!!
Eric's favourite dish meicai kourou (braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens) is actually a Hakka dish, not Cantonese, FYI :)
My two biggest crushes in one video? I'm here for it.
💀
24:30 - Hokkian fried rice is a Chinatown special and came from Hong Kong 茶餐厅 (diners?) and has nothing to do with place which it drew it's name (FuJian/Hokkian) where you won't be able to find it, similar to Singapore fried vermicelli (星洲炒米, can't find it in Singapore) or West Lake beef thick(?) soup (西湖牛肉羹, can't find it in XiHu, Hangzhou)
福建炒饭 is definitely S tier and introduced it to my children who agree wholeheartedly
Am I the only one that kept yelling at my phone “eat the wonton and beef brisket noodle first before it’s soaked too long!”
bro loves to describe it as succulent every time
Eric probably was more happy with this than them cooking
“Ive been Chinese pretty much my whole life” !!!!!, that has got to be one of the silliest statements i have ever seen😂😂😂
I feel like I only ever watch videos from this channel when Eric is in them. I don’t mean that as an insult or criticism either. Like, the algorithm only brings this channel’s videos to me when Eric is featured.
I wanna see Eric and uncle roger in the same video 😂😂😂
eric never manages to make me bored also of course mike is the best 😭
Great to see Eric again!
Please do more videos with Eric!
Eric is back finally
Darien eats series is a great idea, but can we have a drunk eric reviews as well? Dude's a damn vibe.
Wondering why Sheldon and Edward are gradually pulling out of the channel
alternate title: Eric shits on CantoMando
Eric is the long lost cantomando
The legendary collab is back again 😅
Enjoyable! Thanks Guys😅
Eric Chong = an actual watchable show
Eric is actually a fukin comedian bro😂😂😂😂
lovee seeing eric chong drunk as hell hahaha
what did you guys do with the leftovers?
To go box?🤷♂️
I like how eric is still frowning while laughing
Yesss Eric's back!
Is it just me or is Eric's Cantonese just ma ma dey?
Yea he talks about Craig this and Craig that but he sounds exactly like a Craig when he speaks Cantonese.
The left guy just zoned out and straight out hungry bro didnt even say a word😂
Hahahah omg Erics facial expressions after the lobster reminds me of my buddy after EDC. Awake enough to enjoy life and everything else... But just barely 😂
There are a few HUNDRED items spread across House of Gourmet's multiple menus. This is a lifetime source of videos!
The way mike looks at Sheldon is quite personal of judgment 😂
Ohh this is from the failed live stream video that happened from a couple months ago 😭
Oh you’re a real one for this
Why was it a fail?
@@PP_Derrick they somehow disabled the chat and didn't know how to put it back on
That's crazy 😂😂😂
french onion soup as S tier is crazy to me
