If I have to name a few dishes that i wish to learn probably would be 萝卜牛腩 and 艇仔粥. But thank you for all the great recipes! And I really enjoy watching your family eating together!

When I was thinking about how to best document the stories, I felt like sharing a meal together would be really special, but I wasn't sure if people would be engaged with it since it does make the video quite a bit longer.

    Aloha from Nuuanu, Hawaii, thanks for producing this taro cake recipe it's the best. Refer to it whenever I harvest Chinese taro from my yard and make taro cake, which I love to eat and reminds me of my mom's taro cake that she made over half a century ago. Unfortunately, she is gone and so is her recipe. The rice pounder also reminds me of the one that my grandmother had and all my uncles had to pound rice to make the floor for gau.

    We are so glad we found this channel. It is very well produced and the content is excellent. My mom is from the same area as your parents so I have been playing these for her. Daddy Lau's detail explanation and your pertinent questions are excellent. BTW, your recipes and the way Daddy Lau cooks is exactly the way she taught us. Do you think you can do a version of this but using Sago (sai mai)? Unfortunately my mom can't remember the quantities anymore so we have been searching the net for it. Thank you for sharing your family with us.

      Hi Theresa, thank you so much for the kind words! We're so glad you found us as well! Thank you for sharing with your family as well :)
      I will ask my dad about that version! Do you know the Chinese characters for Sago? I'm not exactly sure what it is.

      @theresal577 4 роки тому

      Thank you for asking your dad. We will be forever grateful if your dad has this recipe as we have been searching for it for ages. My mom is 91 and we would love to make this for her. The Cantonese character for sago is 西米. BTW my brother made this taro cake using your recipe and it tastes just like my mom's - unfortunately we ate it all before remembering we should have taken a photo to show you. Thank you again for a brilliant channel!

From the Chinese history, wonderful flute music, to the cantonese lessons (my cantonese is weak so when asked, I say I'm an ABC, which is a TOTAL lie, to save from further embarrassment, but yet not as bad as my Hoisanese😅), easy to follow instructions, awesome editing, graphics, and the wholesome family meal segment, I'm loving this!
