Dim sum discussions with Chua Lam

[Chungchile]

"cholesterol is the BEST of all the food!"

cant agree more!!

[sexoja23]

chua lam looking sharp! lol

[hellowsaw]

how is cholesterol  is good? i thought it is bad for you?

[hikayami]

@hellowsaw

please take nutrition class to check out cholesterol functions, how much cholesterol you need and the problem of lack of cholesterol

[spike378]

@hellowsaw he was refering to taste. Usually high cholesterol food tastes better than low ones. Of course too much and too little can affect your health. It is basic chinese principle and common sense. You dont need a nutrition class to yell you that

[martiniforlunch92]

Coresterol

[nooyawkfun]

For speaking English at Lok Yu, they get charged double. LOL

[iono101]

They are speaking cantonese style english .

[dcninga]

[dcninga]

I don't think its a good idea to tell a food critic that everything they make contain lots cholesterols........XD

[alextang07021]

yo like what @rathlone, why don't they just speak english. And BTW they both sucks at english.

[BafflinBook]

Im a avid reader of him,never heard him speaking in English beforeXD

[diekill123]

[rich1one1one]

Lok Yuk Tea House, anyone else to recommend others in HK?

gothsayurigoth is right on the subject of handling of the chop sticks

why is it called chopsticks, and not paired sticks?

[ChineseinCanada]

Huh? How can any HKer NOT know what siu mai and ha gau are? honestly?! Unless they're living under a rock?

[ESESsparky]

i respect this guy sooooo much. esp bc hes half jap and half HK. hes soooo kool and knows soooo much

[VictorDanDan]

Half Jap + Half HK

??

How come we call him Singaporean ??

[BafflinBook]

@VictorDanDan He is 100% Chinese from Singapore,He studied in Japan before moving to Hong Kong many decades ago.Heis very well known there.

[udon890]

Lok Yuk Tea House is a well know Chinese restaurant located near Central area in Hong Kong Island. I walked by that restaurant when I was in Hong Kong. 1:17-I have never seen that ham in other dim sum restaurants. I normally eat the shrimp dumpling, bun with meat inside, rice rolls with either shrimp or meat inside (Cheung Fan), sticky rice wrapped by lotus leaves.

[cleeyn]

How could someone eat that bao after he put his hands all over it like that!

[nshadowsong]

Chua Lam is so awesome ^_^ always makes me hungry when i watch his Chinese shows

[DanChang821]

Wrong way of using chopsticks lol

[highwingprop]

if u were accustomed to the chinese culture, you would KNOW that it's COMMON COURTESY to hold the chopsticks upside down when getting food for OTHERS. why? 'cause the OTHER side is already contaminated by your saliva. this is COMMONLY done by anybody fluent with the chinese culture. :)

[hypermegaman]

says u, highwingprop

family dinners, we don't really care about saliva mixing

business dinners, we don't really care to serve each other.

it's probably unique in ur society or country, don't push it on all chinese. besides, no one really licks their chopsticks. a skilled user wouldn't even have any dermal contact with any part of the chopstick throughout a dimsum dinner

it's interesting info, yes, but save the alternating caps, seriously

[cupcakelee]

wrong way to hold chop stick as in the wrong hand grip. that is why he couldn't grip that fried dumpling properly.

[TobyLittleDude]

Folks in HK and China are some of the dirtiest people I've ever met. The saliva on the end of their chopsticks is probably the cleanest thing on the table.

[DanChang821]

And btw this is sooo effing late but I wasn't talking about the way he server her I wasn't talking about how he was using the chopsticks (Fingerings with the Chopsticks)...

[gothsayurigoth]

thats not the wrong way stupid.

its out of respect&being clean*chinese ppl turn there chopsticks if they use their chopsticks to get food for other ppl *guests or friends or ppl they dont know very well*its also becus its hygienic.example u sure dont want to eat a black guy drool from his chopsticks if he picks food for u (-_-).Ite~ im sure ur not a 100% CANTONESE citizen becus u dont even know that chinese ppl do that.

[brucesychiu]

That's a hygienic and economic way of using chopsticks to pick food from shared dishes.

[hypermegaman]

he was holding his chopsticks backwards

chua lam.. how could he?!

[Kollindyr]

He doesn't want to contaminate other foods with his saliva.

[thibaulthalpern]

Using the chopsticks backwards happens when we are using our own chopsticks to pick food from the general dishes or when we use it to give food to others. However, what Chua Lam doesn't know properly is how to use his chopsticks. He uses them in a fashion we call "X-style chopsticks" which is an incorrect and inefficient way of using chopsticks.

[hypermegaman]

if you'll notice, he actually uses them right and wrong, on random occasions

i dun think he cared about the saliva, he probably got too carried away by the girl's presence and just picked them up randomly

[mrd88888]

porrrrrrrkkkkrr chickaannnnnnnnn hahaha

[ChauTech]

i watch dis all the time on tvb (mow sing wei sing toi)

[alen132465]

omg its this man! hes such a player. havent u noticed in all his shows hes always with girls?

[udon890]

The name of the restaurant is not far from the Central District in Hong Kong island. The name of the restaurant is LUK YU. It is one of the good traditional dim sum restaurant. I passed by that restaurant many times when I was young, I worked at the Central District. Central District is like downtown commercial area in Toronto, a lot of commerical buildings.

[lilaznangel]

Where is this restaurant?

[scmp888]

It's on Stanley Street in Central. Not far from Lan Kwai Fong.

[lilaznangel]

Thanks!

[xserve]

they are trying hard...

[rathlone]

since both of them are native chinese speakers, why don't she just interview him in cantonese and then have english subtitles for the viewers????

[udon890]

I think they want to introduce Chinese food to people from other countries, such as Americans.

[hikayami]

@rathlone

totally agree
