[blowyoursocksoff]

So divine! I need this man to be locked up in my kitchen to make me dim sum all day long!!

[bluegreen988]

dimsum is not good for the heart coz there are lots of pork and chicken fats ...

[bozanggas]

shitzzz my mouth is drooooling like a dogggg

[Uniflux]

For some reason I always thought dim sum was the chinese version of sushi, lol i was wrong.

[hollyc286]

Great to hear from a dim sum master. I sense his dedication to the art of making dim sum. So many unsung heroes in the kitchen.

[askTingTing]

Amazing to see how the different kind of dim sum are made!

[iTouchin]

I could never eat pork buns ever again after watching a film about pork buns made from HUMAN MEAT! lmfao put me off one of my childhood favourites, and apparently its based off a true STORY! D: holy shit haha.

[49fiori]

1. Asian (Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Hong Kong) 2. French 3. Italian 4. Mediterranean (fish, mussels) 5. Japanese / Korean 6. Mexican 7. American Fast food (hot dogs, hamburgers) 8. Lebanese / Arabic 9. American / Argentine Steaks 10. Balkan (chevapi, pleskavica, Greek, Serbian, Bulgarian) I am Italian and this is my list of favorite cuisine. I love it all, but if I have to choose, Asian is #1. Ciao!

[camdez99]

I love Dim Sum Dumplings!!! Now I know how to make them at home....

[spadypoonpeepee]

i love love love har gau(shrimp dumplings), siew mai(pork dumplings) and fong zau(chicken feet)! a dim sum meal isn't complete without them...yummy!

[thucannhanh]

I like Hk ,I love HK

[Exiletheheretic]

Am i the only one who thinks that the music is weird for cooking show?

Its more like some action movie music =P

[empster1986]

Nom Nom Dim Sum!!!!! Char siu Bau and Har Gau ftw!!!

[Artharrex123]

This guy is an legend.

True master of dim sum.

[yellafever]

I don't get it. I saw video with lots of Chinese people and not a single Kung-fu fight. Thats just not natural. But the nice buns made up for it.

[quantumdude]

Love dim sums but whats up with the retarded intro music?

[ZeroDragondelta9]

Dim Sum....the prefered food of wond fei hong. ten points if you know who that is

[Ypipable]

Good lesson, tasty too.

[AwardUTube]

That chef in the video is really a dim sum guru. Definitely at the top of his game. I guess that's why he's in this video!!

[AwardUTube]

I want to know how he makes char siew bao EXACTLY like those ones at time 2 mins 10 seconds into this video. I believe that the texture of those ones depend a lot on the kind of flour used - not just on how the dough is prepared.

[xXAznCookiezXx]

u no wats really good i forgot the name but its like a dumpling except the outer covering is clear and in the inside is some chives and veggies

[ladyamerias]

the song reminds me of Mokona from magic knight rayearth. it sounds like " puu pu puuuuuu". very cool video

[sweetappledog]

i like how the subtitles are mismatched with the words the chef is saying. but still a good reference : )

[shimasamba]

Please be careful when eating in a hong kong resturant. It seems that if the chef is a asshole he will put pubiks hairs in your food. I was disgusted when i found a pubic hair in my noodles that appeared to be put there purposely. Check your food completely before eating and if possible watch the person who prepares it. Dont trust hong kong resturants

[KristaTheSinga]

@shimasamba i never find them in mine! so HA

[mytoy8888]

@shimasamba you are assshole telling lie and bastard

[shimasamba]

@mytoy8888 the truth hurts i know. hows your mother and sister doing. im horny....

[KoolJayJ]

@shimasamba Please be careful when eating in a western Diner or restaruant run by hairy fat white men, you might encounter body hair in your soup, they also tend to not wash there hands and wipe there ass with the pancakes that they serve. Not to mention if you piss them off even slightly, they will spit in your food.

[cloverforluck]

@shimasamba Sounds like you went to a shitty place. The goods ones are busy as hell, so they don't even have time to spit in your food. Maybe sweat in it :P

[smoochiezmwaz]

..makes me want YUMCHA! push the har gao trolley to me!

[Vanhouser]

Can't live without Dim Sum - the cuisine, the spirit, the art, the tradition, and the bonding.

Searching and learning to duplicate the art at home. Thanks for the video and the English subtitles.

[wantanmien]

Great that you like Dim Sums. If you like to learn how to make them please have a look at my channel. I have some videos explaining how to make some dishes.

[KoolJayJ]

I love dim sums, i once ate 50 of them in one go......

[Cupcake4me]

Mad skills, is harder to make that it looks. I am salivating..................lo­l.

[culturalmut]

mmm nothing like a cold Tsing Tao while waiting for the cart to come by!! I miss Spadina!!

[Manjulasbiggestfan]

i c spadina everyday

[ChipProcessor32]

I think the dim sum in Guangzhou is better than in HK. Guangzhou is after all the capital of Cantonese culture. I had some pretty good dim sum on Shamian Dao in GZ (which is kind of a touristy spot) and it was better than the dim sum I had in Wanchai on HK island.

Of course it does vary from restaurant to restaurant, but I bet the best dim sum can be found in un-pretentious joints in the small towns of Guangdong, especially if those establishments have been around for hundreds of years.

[am1966ath]

@ChipProcessor32 The do tasty dimsum in Guanzhou..but the resturant-atmosphere is rude and rowdy,compared to Hongkong. Sorry but Im a gweilo who don t speak cantonese but I love dim sum and Hongkong..and the friendly,charming Hongkong-chinese.

[ChipProcessor32]

"..and the friendly,charming Hongkong-chinese."

.....such a thing exists!?!

[am1966ath]

Yes, For me the hongkong-chinese are are friendly, they are cruder in the PRC although there are exceptions of course, im not chinese so I do not know what they say behind my back but I prefer HK to Canton..yes

[ChipProcessor32]

"they are cruder in the PRC although there are exceptions of course"

....yeah you mentioned that twice already, unsolicited. You must have had a terrible experience in the mainland.

You have it the other way around: most ppl are fine and a few exceptional ones are rude.

[am1966ath]

Mayby it had to do with communism, like in former soviet ubion..it took along time to establish a service culture, than hongkong who is a service society.

[ChipProcessor32]

am1966:

Also, its really not a dichotomy between the mainland and its peripheral Chinese states/cities. Keep this in mind: I would've made the same joke about Shanghainese Chinese. Then you would be hard pressed to start lambasting the PRC again.....

And it is a joke playing upon stereotypes (by definition not true, but commonly observed...). Most Chinese would just smile or chuckle, reading that comment from me. But you being a laowai, hehehe..

Anyways, hope you enjoy your stay in HK!

[am1966ath]

Don t take me wrong, Im a great admirer of chinese art,food and culture but as most gweilos not speaking mandarin/cantonese and being both clumsy and ugly as westerners usually are when coming in contact with other cultures mayby I missundestand the chinese sometimes.

Ive only been in Beijing and Guangzhou so I can not say that Im a great expert on the PRC...although been several times to Hongkong,Taipei and Singapore which before where different from the PRC but now more and more alike.

[am1966ath]

Yes,ChipProcessor32 Im laowai, indeed I am..wish I had lerned cantonese/mandarin at an earlier age.

[ChipProcessor32]

am1966ath:

Hey man, its all good. I didn't mean to insinuate anything with your foreigner status. In fact, I am a "Laowai" myself....in America. So as a Chinese American, I don't think foreigners in China are clumsy or ugly any more than Chinese who go to the West to do business/attend school/visit etc. I do understand how difficult and rewarding it can be to immerse yourself in an almost diametric culture. That is to be commended.

[am1966ath]

LOL..chinese in the west are more polite and discreet than westerners are in Asia.

I love strolling trhrough San Francisco s China town on early mornings and afternoon,dimsum-time.

What I do n t like are the China towns in for example Jakarta,Saigon(HCM) and Kuala Lumpur..they are just awful places,dirty,overpopulated and smelly

but sometimes in the middle you find the most beautiful, old chinese temple with old buddha statues...and then we have the demolished chinatown like in Singapore.

[Cupcake4me]

Lol !!!!! I'm sure some exists !!! Someones its the friendly ones that you have to watch out for.......

[MrISIB]

wow that kitchen is massive

[LIMCHAIlaval]

Doesn't know what all these Whiteys are missing ! ! ! That's what we call Food from China

2. Have my girlfriend say "har gau" to the lady with har gau in her cart.

It's easy when you know how!

[AlotaMaple]

I like chinese food.

Oh wait I'm chinese xD

[speedytrotador]

@AlotaMaple

[monkeyDx]

And he makes it look so simple.

[redladybug76]

omg i'm drooling! lovvvvve yum cha, my favourite food by far! mmmmm steamed pork buns!

[Xiia0Sn00pY]

not forgetting xiao long bao!

[Iris3492]

Those rock.

[estherliewian]

Xiao Long Bao is from Shanghai not Hong Kong!! Get ur facts right!

[Xiia0Sn00pY]

i am fucking aware man! but its stil considered in dim sum in some areas..fuck im chinese man

[estherliewian]

I am also a chinese. And didn't u read the title ? Dim Sum : a cantonese tradition.Cantonese..... not shanghainese dish. Xiao Long Bao is a shanghainese dish get your facts right and read the video headline title.

[Xiia0Sn00pY]

yes i too am aware...but still why do the dim sum restaurants include xiaolongbao? i know they are not cantonese.. im cantonese and i know..

[estherliewian]

Only Malaysian Chinese Restaurant does that......

[Xiia0Sn00pY]

well singapore too..it doesnt feel right..if i want xiaolongbao i go to din tai fung or nanxiang steamed bun restaurant

[estherliewian]

Well this video is about Hong Kong.... seriously! and Xiao Long Bao will always be a shanghainese dish.Xiao Long Bao is just a 'dumpling' and that's the reason is still called dim sum, get the headings right " A Cantonese tradition and xiao long bao is not a cantonese tradition.

[scmp888]

In this video, we are talking about char siu bao and not siu lung bao, or xiao long bao.

[KristaTheSinga]

@scmp888 i <3 siu lung bao :)

[why123]

@estherliewian who give a shit to shanghainese? shanghainese is not even a word. why you hate cantonese so much? the vid is not even talking about xiao long bao. man, shanghai people are such a bunch of retards. HK culture is based on Cantonese, something wrong with that about the title of the vid? fuck you..

[estherliewian]

@why123 Is not the title the origin of Xiao Long Bao , I am just emphasizing on Xiao Long Bao .... itself that the origin come from Shangai and is Shanghainese dish. Did I say I hate cantonese so much. But "Har Kao" a.k.a Shrimp dumplings is from Hong Kong are you satisfy? and What a such an immoral person you are using F word if you are my race (Chinese). You are showing to the world that you demoralizing our race.

[bmb007]

@estherliewian

"9 not connected to 8" huh... :P

[voon100]

Don't swear young man!

[smurfiennes]

:P* i luv dim sum, i wish i had it everyday!!!! my faves are chicken claws, ha kau, turnip cakes, dumplings and of course peking ducks.... drooollllllllllssssss

[Derkks]

Wait... so dim sum just means "touching the heart" dim = to touch - sum = heart

[contractki11er]

literaly translated yes, i guess its just food that touches the heart.

[missyritas]

ok so how come everytime I go to have dim sum at a restaurant, their bbq pork bun (the dough) is so fluffy and moist????? what's the secret? can you give me a recipe for the dough if possible?

thanks

[Derkks]

I'd assume they would just put something in to make the dough fluffy and full of air?

[missyritas]

like? and how? lol

[22ttiimmeess]

Har gao? I thought it was more like Ha gao? I never pronounced it with an "r" at the end...

[AznWorldWidePride]

lol me either but anyway we cantonese people rule XD

[thehaloglitcher]

Lol, it's because you don't pronounce the r. You just say Ha Gao.

[denisefan]

The best cuisine in the world by far!

[thibaulthalpern]

The filling of hargao is typically just shrimps and bits of bamboo shoot.

[thibaulthalpern]

They should not translate 豬油 as pork oil. 豬油 is lard, or more specifically, pig lard.

[pinkyy91]

wow..so yummy..=)

btw whats d ingredient 4 d dough again?

wheat flour,sugar n oil only??do we have 2 measure it first??

[3ndl3ssXf4nt3sy]

pinkyy91 :

Pork oil, which is pretty much Pork lard =P

And of course you have to measure the ingredients, like in all cooking. Too much flour makes can make it crumbly.

[Leetard179]

I LIKEEEE

SAH SIU CHERNG

[anjosonlie]

omg..i want to know how to make pork filled dimsum so bad with the kind of bread like the one here not the other kinds but i just cant seem to find any tutorials on it...the only way for me to get some is driving all the way to chinatown in san fran. but it's like a 4-5 hour drive

[WaR1436]

[Floyoke]

The kitchen is clean.

[lowincash]

[krayzgerman]

Exercise daily and eat it after workouts, oh yeah!

[anythingnew]

If you exercise, you don't got to worry about nothing.

[nintendo1yo1sasuke]

[thefreak1314]

[cancerstickit]
