his voice is so soothing and he really speaks so well, like he doesn't use a lot of filler words, and the vocab he uses is so proper. i feel like he could be a textbook audiobook narrator.
I love the fact that he so graciously acknowledged his father's skill and dedication, even humbling himself by admitting that his still can't compare to his father's shumai... great video.
i admire how he says how he can't make it the same way his father did. Some people are every adamant that their flavours are same throughout generation. However food quality, equipment, etc. and of course the chef always changes. That's what makes mom n pop food so special. What an eloquent and kind man.
it's because he grew up eating his fathers food and it has a special place for him. What he's forgetting is that a new generation is growing up appreciating his cooking.
I love hearing the guy talk. I grew up in Hawaii and I spoke regular American English at home, in fact since my father was an English major at an Ivy League, it was a very pure sort of English, and outside, outdoors, I spoke Hawaiian "Pidgin" a lot of the time and although it's not a tonal language it is very "sing-song" because while tones don't change meaning, there are tones you always use or it's not pidgin. And it was invented by Chinese immigrants to the US/Hawaii in the 1880's or so. This is a little-known part of history, how large a role Chinese played in Hawaii.
Love how he spoke of his father with so much love ... His father's looking down must be so proud . He takes so much pride in his food . I wish to taste his food but I'm so far away .. in the US.

oh this is making me miss my hometown... I'm Peruvian and tusán, i used to eat siumai every time i went to the chifa (Cantonese-Peruvian food) or to the Barrio Chino, but here in Mexico is more difficult to find... I've been slowly learning to cook chifa and siumai is on my list to get right
Definitely one of my favorites to eat! Thank you for sharing this story. Best wishes and blessings to everyone. Please be kind to others and spread sum joy.
I lived in HK during my teen years and siu mai, cheung fan & fishballs were my favourite food!! I have tried them in chinatown in london but they aren't as good as back in HK. Can't wait to visit HK again when this pandemic goes away...
I know that many Indonesian dishes are influenced by Chinese. Siu mai/shao mai is one of my favorite foods, and in Indonesia we call it 'siomay' or 'somay'
I love sui mai and no dim sum meal is complete UNTIL i get two servings of this. But I must travel to Hong Kong to try this fish version! Must be so tender...
Síu Mại in Vietnam is just the steamed meatball mixed with fungus, very simple but delicious as hell. The most fantastic combo i alsolutely can imagine now is a huge pan with baguettes + stir-fry beef + scrambled egg + Síu Mại + liver pate and also satay sauce !
Man, since the pandemic, I haven’t went for brunch (yum cha) since. Oh, I can have a huge tray just about now, especially his , so damn fresh ! Oh man....
A staple for my family, friends, and I when we go out to eat dim sum...or did. Can’t wait till we can go out again to eat dine in at restaurants; craving Siu Mai Ps: Reading the captions is a little difficult when it’s white text with no background.
Indonesian style enjoyed with peanut sauce and some kind of citrus juice (jeruk limo). For the filling we usually use king mackarel fish (tenggiri) or shrimp.
A small addition, this video talks about hongkongese style shaomai. There are many different variations all over china and I dont think its known where it originated.
Hey another video from my culture Chinese and I speak cantonese too so I don’t have to read the captions because I don’t like reading oh and I love that sorry I do not know how to write it in English
Mr. Chu is very eloquent when he speaks, you can sense his passion during the whole interview. Can’t wait to give his hand made Siu Mai a try!
@Haywood Shum, I agree with your remarks. He’s very eloquent and clearly expresses great respect for Old Chu (his father).
his voice is so soothing and he really speaks so well, like he doesn't use a lot of filler words, and the vocab he uses is so proper. i feel like he could be a textbook audiobook narrator.
Same! But tuen mun is so far 😭

Shao Mai or Siu Mai is one of the most delicious dim sum. Love the story on the chef's respect to his father's craft!
Very good dim sum
siu mai is cantonese but shao mai is chinese
theres a difference
(source: am a ex-hong kong resident)
How about chicken feet?
Siu mai is one of my favourite dim sum dish but can't have more than 4 it fills me up. I have it along with prawn dumpling ha guaw.
gtfo here with the mandarin
The chef is a lovely man. he seems very passionate
I miss Hong Kong so much. Will be so happy when I can visit again. A foodie’s paradise!

wow truly one of the most underrated channels. thank you for the insightful documentary style videos on cantonese culture - keep on doing them!!!
What a tremendous legacy his beloved father left him, and the world of lucky consumers of his special shumai.
You can just hear how much this guy loves his dad.
Old school....grind and effort. Respect.
Loving this series for real, appreciate you sharing these stalls that I would’ve never heard of being in the UK
bless the people of hongkong, hope things never change
Ummmmm.... 😐😐😐
Ah yes, one of the things that make me proud to be a cantonese
A cantonese *person*

I agree with you hhh
Siu Mai is my go-to lunch when i was young. Cheap, easy to eat, ready made and most importantly delicious

His honesty shows he is very genuine. The dim sum looks great 10/10 would eat

I’m hooked on this HK videos. I wish I was there to try all these places!
Goldthread...... your food videos are addicting!
I grew up eating canto/ Hong Kong food at home and at restaurants. Gotta say, Siu Mai is one of the kings
I love this stuff... my favorite! I'm about to order some for delivery. Hahaha... sooo good.
I love sui mai and no dim sum meal is complete UNTIL i get two servings of this. But I must travel to Hong Kong to try this fish version! Must be so tender...
Love these episodes.
Omg I LOVE Shrimp Siu mai So Delish!!!!!! And Shrimp tempura
I love siu mai very much. Especially ones made with some prawns.
yumm
Fav dim sum of all time. Although I’m partial to the shrimp and pork kind!
Síu Mại in Vietnam is just the steamed meatball mixed with fungus, very simple but delicious as hell. The most fantastic combo i alsolutely can imagine now is a huge pan with baguettes + stir-fry beef + scrambled egg + Síu Mại + liver pate and also satay sauce !
Siu mai number one all time favorite food.
Beautiful story
It looks very delicious I want to go to Hong Kong. from Japan
i don't go to tuen mun often, but as a siu mai enthusiast, i'm gonna take a bus and visit his shop one day.
I love siu mai!
Yummy I love shumai
Ah.. my childhood memories of the food in Hong Kong.
My favorite dim sum and one of the best dishes period.
This guy's voice is legendary.
Q: How come Cantonese speak just like Vietnamese?
Loving this series!
I love making shumay too
looks yummy Siu Mai
Lol dadjoke "old chu" for those that understand Cantonese....
Can you explain?
@@elpasemah I going to hazard the guess as: Old Pig. 老猪.
老猪(老朱
Lo Fu Gi (? I guess, I can't write Chinese 😭so have to use phonics)
I love this stuff! It’s so tasty and easy to eat.
Somay batagor yumm 😋😋
Siumay, somay. Jangan-jangan...
so this in tuen mun, im going tmr to get some great food
Delicious
thank you for this
I've never tried fish and pork siumai but it's probably any different with shrimp and pork. Man I wish I got to try that when we were there.
Indonesia adapted Shu Mai and serve it with peanuty chilli sauce, sweet soy sauce, and ketchup.
Philippines adapted it and served it with garlic chili oil, soy sauce and calamansi.
Man, since the pandemic, I haven’t went for brunch (yum cha) since. Oh, I can have a huge tray just about now, especially his , so damn fresh ! Oh man....
Siu Mai is the best❤️
Shumai. 😍😍
Seems really humble 👍
Would love to visit his place
Like, nice story
Ah yes siomai rice; the best lunch for a student on a budget. I miss these so much, but there aren't any restaurants that serve it in my district :(
My favourite dim sum!
Same!
Yum! Thanks China for Shumai
Has to be one of the best street food ever, there's not really anything that I can even compare it with.
Great now I want shumai
Interesting, 20 minutes in the steamer seems a long time, but I've never made fish and pork suimai -- only pork and shrimp.
Man that looks delish, I’ll take one basket for me XD
Wuhan has shumai too! but it looks and tastes very different! and damn I'm hungry just thinking about it
i need to go and get some the next time i visit tsen mun :3
@Goldthread Could you include a Google map location of their shops?
maps.app.goo.gl/cTZmmUYeVN6mj37A6
here's the one in the video if you want
My favorite dim sum dish.
Almost cried when said his dad wanted shuimei for seniors and kids.
Please add google map links to the places in video description. Every video you do, people ask for this. Thx.
That’s me 😭 I literally eat siu mai everyday after school because I’m bound to walk past it in the train station and I CANNOT RESIST THE TEMPTATION
A staple for my family, friends, and I when we go out to eat dim sum...or did. Can’t wait till we can go out again to eat dine in at restaurants; craving Siu Mai
Ps: Reading the captions is a little difficult when it’s white text with no background.
I love shumai. 😋 brings me a taste of home 🏡 lol I always thought they were Japanese. 🤔
Can you give info or link on this store location?
I watched this as I eat Indonesian Style Siu Mai. Tastes doubly good.
What does Indonesian style add?
Curious to know too.
Indonesian style enjoyed with peanut sauce and some kind of citrus juice (jeruk limo). For the filling we usually use king mackarel fish (tenggiri) or shrimp.
I love sui mai
That looks tasty
Take a shot every time he says siumai
Siomai Rice!!! For only 25 php is the life savior of many student. #SavedBySiomai
What a large siu mai!
A small addition, this video talks about hongkongese style shaomai. There are many different variations all over china and I dont think its known where it originated.
Cantonese*
Hongkong 😁😁👍👍👍👍👍
I love watching your videos, could you please slow down the translation at the bottom. It goes too fast.
This is always a staple when I go to a dim sum restaurant.
1:31 - 1:51 lol, the speech and background music beats makes it sounds like some rap.
Even we 'gweilos' eat shui mei!! It's like Hong Kong style milk tea, part of our dna! 😂
I eat shumai with ground nut paste with soy and chilli sauces
Damn it,i miss HK street foods.....😢😭
In the Philippines, we call it SioMai..
GUSTO KO KUMAIN NG.... SHUMAI AND RAYS, SHUMAI, SHUMAI AND RAYS
👍👍👍
I predict right here, right now, he will have a Michelin Star. 🙂🙏💜
Hey another video from my culture Chinese and I speak cantonese too so I don’t have to read the captions because I don’t like reading oh and I love that sorry I do not know how to write it in English
😋 👍
It's so addictive. I can eat like 20 in one go 🙈🐽
I need that dumpling in my mouth immediately.
:>
With the pandemic in United States the Dimsum restaurant quality are not up to standard like the kind Mr.Chu are making.
