    Don’t be afraid of receiving those negative comments. Like he said, you can’t replicate a chef. Those sweets looks delicious!

    I find it funny that those old customers complain about his not "tasting like his dad's version" but forgot that without his effort and time to learn the skill and take over this business, there would be none in that entire area. Culinary arts is past down. So easy in this day and age for it to go missing and be gone forever......

    I was lucky enough to try some 15 yrs ago when I was visiting Hong Kong & randomly saw a small stall pulling dragon beard candy. It was ethereal & wished I had bought a whole box.

    I was fortunate to taste them as a kid in the 80's in Toronto on Chinese News Years at a food stall. This Chinese snack is indeed becoming rarer by the day, as the chefs retire without trained apprentices.

    I agree with him, you cant replicate another chef as its practically very hard for another chef to replecate the style from original chef unless you have training from a very young age. Its just like when you are making one of your grandma's or grandpa's recepies. Its the same dish, the same way as how grandma or grandpa will make, it taste is the same but somehow its off like its missing something.

    When mr Yuen eat the candy, you could see he take pride making them even with a history of failure, he keep strive to a better chef. Thats a whole lot of emotion for a bite.

    Awesome! Today, there is mostly factory foods and sweets. It's good to see you can still get something made lovingly by hand. China is full of surprises. We hope such skills will endure. In the robot age, they will be the real treasures of civilization.

    那真是太棒了。 我希望他是驕傲的。 當然它的味道可能不像他爸爸,但你猜怎麼著,它嘗起來像這個傢伙的創造。 我希望你成為驕傲的人,你所做的真是太棒了。 站得高,记住,你做的东西技术含量高,有创意。 你是個藝術家!
    That is totally awesome. I hope he is proud. Sure it may not taste like his dads but guess what, it tastes like this guys creation. Be proud man, it is amazing what you do. Stand tall, remember, you do something highly skilled and creative. You are an artist!

    This is the same as other candies (Grandma's hair) in other asian countries but this origin as Chinese dessert. This is not the same as Turkish Pismanye (different ingredients/recipe) though the technique is similar.

      Because rambut nenek using sugar from sugarcanes, while dragon beards using corn syrup.
      Corn syrup make the strands more smooth.

    Reminds me of a quote from Jiro Dreams of Sushi about how Jiro's son would need to be 200% better than Jiro to be considered his equal (or something like that). Nonetheless this dragon beard candy son is my winner for being the only store left in Macau! Would love to try
