you are so lucky to have such an amazing wife and children. every time amy uploads with you two i am so happy to watch but also so jealous to see parents who are so supportive and wonderful
Your dad laughs at you having your chopsticks backwards, but he also has one of his backwards too! You can see it at 14:47. He fixes it later after your mom calls you out lmao.
Thanks Amy for inviting me to your channel. I feel honored😊 By the way, you are more beautiful in life than in the video. Looking forward to your next visit to Melbourne, hope next time we have time to invite you to try Hanfu, the traditional Chinese costume😘
Thank you so much for always bringing a positive light to Asian food and culture. It means a lot to the Asian community, especially during these times of violence, racism, and discrimination against the community!
OMG Amy, the dim sum looks delicious!!😋You just put Sydney and Melbourne on the map for me! I would also consider myself your "super fan" because I always take time out to watch your videos because you are a great vlogger, and the content is always on point, very enjoyable and educational.😺♥️
I never have the experience of sharing one dish with my parents. Now both my parents have gone to heaven . Blondie , I really envy your family. So closely knitted and happy.
I love your choice of dishes so yummy,and your mom and dad are so awesome they enhance the eating experience describing the taste and texture of the food !
Those BBQ pork buns you had were of the yin yang variety, popularized in HK & Taiwan, known as pineapple bbq pork buns, hence the sweet, flaky top crust.

First Hawker Chan’s branch opened in Chinatown in Singapore, the food originally from a stall in the hawker centre, and now the hawker culture was heritage by the UNESCO
Every time I go to restaurant, I would be like Jun wanted to order everything on the menu. I think it’s ok as long as you don’t waste the food. Watching Amy eating chicken feet and spitting out bones remind me of Plants vs Zombies the pea shooter shooting out the peas lol.
There used to be two TimHoWan’s here in Sydney, one at Town Hall and one at Chatswood but unfortunately both shut down around 2 years ago. And if you’re still craving for yum cha in Sydney, I’d like to recommend this restaurant called ‘Vinh Phat’ in Cabramatta. Easily one of the most delicious and affordable yum cha places I’ve ever been to. Always a huge line during lunch hours even on weekdays.
Glad YT recommended your channel. Love the fact your Mum sussed out you had the chopsticks backwards! LOL! Loved that. Subbed and look forward to seeing more and going through your back catalogue while i'm waiting ;)
Tim Ho Wan, my favourite dim sum restaurant in HK but always a long queue even many branches are opened in HK. Look it still maintains the quality in Melbourne.... Tim Ho Wan is a famous brand originated in HK!! Its great to see Jun, a hongkonger and mukbanger to be part of the Amy's vlog!!
Tim Ho Wan is like McDonald in Dim Sum. Thus I seldom go there since you can have the same standard in the majority of local chinese restaurants. It is famous because it gets Michelin one star. To Hong Kong public, Michelin guide sucks in this one. If you hand out Michelin to TIm Ho Wan, you need to give out several dozens of michelin stars.
@@catchnkill Totally agree, mate. I don’t understand the hype with Tim Ho Wan. It’s pretty standard fare, nothing special. I agree with your analogy that it’s basically the McDonald’s of dim sum. To say that Tim Ho Wan is the best dim sum is like saying that your favourite pizza joint is Domino’s.
And the steamed bun is called Ma Lai Go (horse pulling cake) it is also an all time favorite in HK since the old times, made with cane sugar, parents usually order one dish and all us wanted more!
@@mmqpz If you understand the political stance of her guests, you will understand that Mikey Chen (falungong) has no place on the same table. No chance.
I went to the Tim Ho Wan in HK that you show briefly in the video. It's so packed and yet food arrived super fast! I remember there were like 60 numbers ahead of me, and after waiting for just over an hour, I got my table! They did not sacrifice the quality for speed. I was quite impressed.
so good to see you back at Melb Amy! Tim Ho Wan is absolutely one of the best Yum Cha in the city but unfortunately Hawker Chan is definitely not the best Soya Chicken/Grilled Duck you could find here. I would recommend Pacific BBQ House at South Yarra as theirs are way succulent and flavourful to me. I also went to Hawker Chan during Covid and they were having a huge fly infestation at that time. Literally the ceiling near the kitchen was covered by flies and to my disappointment, their staff didn't do anything to eliminate the flies. That has put me off. Hope you're enjoying food in Melb xx
Haha what you said about 粥 is exactly how I feel! I grew up in Beijing, only eating it when I was sick so that was what I associated it with. When I went out with Cantonese friends who ordered it for supper I always thought it was weird. That said the one at Tim Ho Wan really is hearty and tasty.
I like Hawker Chan's soya sauce chicken but honestly their other stuff is not that good. For good roast meats you should have gone to Pacific BBQ, 5 min walk from Hawker Chan.
You can try making Charsiew, roasted pork at home. it's not that difficult and the method could be easily found in youtube. I've just had my homemade Charsiew for dinner.😄
XO is the term borrowed from XO Brandy, which refers to top grade Wine originated in France. The older Hong Kong people borrowed the term XO to depict that kind of sauce as the most luxurious sauce.
The Food Menu Sheet 🍱 (with color photos - 2:35 ) is good before your foods order. 🥢 I cannot see any similar picture-menu sheet (only the order card) both in Hong Kong and Macau. 🥄 Happy Easter & enjoy your foods ! 😁 😋
Hi Blondie. I am from Hong Kong and wud like to fill up some info about the dim sum you had. We dont usually called those place chachanteng, bcoz chachanteng seldom do dim sum, we rather call it dim sum restaurant or dim sum place. For the snow top char siu bao (雪山叉燒包), it was developed from char siu chan bao (叉燒餐包). Char siu chann bao was one of the staple in Hong Kong dim sum, it was long b4 the existence of tim ho wang. We believe that is orginated from Hong Kong, since the dish was a cross over between Canton dim sum and Western bakery. The Canton char siu bao (the white skin one), is made with the same dough as 菜肉包, 饅頭, 奶皇包 etc, it is a steamed bun with char siu filling inside. Char siu chan bao 叉燒餐包, is made with the same filling like char siu bao, but the outside is brioche, it is a baked bun and usually brused with golden syrup on top after baking. In the old days (20yrs ago), most dim sum restaurant in Hong Kong serves both versions of char siu bao, now is more like one or the other. The tim ho wang snow top char siu bao is more similar to char siu chan bao.
@@TheLeolee89 its bcos u dont see char siu chan bao in restaurants often nowadays, so you might think thats derived from Pineapple bun. Also, the crispy skin on the snow mount char siu bao is not exactly the same as pineapple bun. It is simliar but no thr same, I wud say that crispy skin us more like 'mexican bun' (mak sai gor bao).
@@polkakun6765 char siu chan bao is quite common in Malaysia. Though, it isn't sold in a restaurant. "crispy skin on the snow mount char siu bao is not exactly the same as pineapple bun. It is simliar but no thr same, I wud say that crispy skin us more like 'mexican bun' (mak sai gor bao)." - I see. So, something like less denser version of pineapple bun.
Ah, Hawker Chan! I’ve heard so many good things yet the queues were always too long so I never got to try them yet, even though the main original stall and it’s bigger air-conditioned outlet in Singapore are both very near my workplace...
The thing about dim sum is that you can eat a lot without being full. The empty plates on your table looked like when I was in Guangzhou for breakfast in a dim sum restaurant. We were 3 and we keep going to the kitchen counter to get more food. It was really delicious and cheap too.
It’s not a sauce but sambal chilli condiment originating from SEA as u know Hawker Chan is from Singapore. Will not be available if u had soya sauce chicken in Hong Kong which uses chilli oil as the condiment.
How ironic. I have been to Timhowan restaurant in Macau, Hong Kong and Singapore. I live in Melbourne but have yet to visit the one in Melbourne. Thanks for reminding me to go to this restaurant.
I'm in Canada and for me I think 8 bucks for a dish of dim sum, specifically baos and stuff is expensive rather than average, I know dim sum with seafood likw Har Gow would be around 6-8 at a fancier yum cha restaurant but baos tend to be cheaper at around 4-5/dish. But $21 for half a duck is a great price and only $51 for 4 meats is an amazing deal! It's like ~$25 for half a duck here and it's not even from a fancy or well known chinese BBQ store
They used to have a Tim Ho Wan in chatswood... It was packed and lines for the first 6-12 months... then it just deteriorated to not packed... i tried it twice it's ok... but it's not cheaper than other yum cha places... and it's no better.
Many of my friends say The Secret Kitchen in Melbourne provides even better Dim Sum and other Cantonese foods, but the price isn't so friendly, maybe it's a place for a big treat.
@14.25. XO signifies 'most premium' in newer Chinese lingo, as it is the highest rating for Cognac. Most Cognacs, among the best of brandies, are ranked -- VS, VSOP, XO by their ages -- with XO (Extra Old) being the oldest and usually most expensive. When entertaining clients, Chinese, Hong Kong and Taiwanese businessmen like to order XO to impressive. (Hennessy and Camus are among the most popular.) So, when a premium sauce was created, I believe first in Hong Kong, the sauce was dubbed XO in a nod to XO Cognacs. However, I can't tell if that's actually an XO sauce in the video, which contains dried scalloped, dried shrimp, garlic..., but each restaurant may do it a little differently.
I'm in Melbourne and have been working through a list of places to try. Most recent was Master Lanzhou, so delicious and thanks to you I knew how it all worked with different noodles etc. I had the spiciest because I love that flavour profile (is it called Mala?) and the cucumber side goes SO well with it. Last week I tried Tina's Noodle Kitchen which was bloody amazing, the fish with pickles was incredibly delicious. Thanks for educating me xx PS: I need a Chinese friend to guide me. Anyone? Anyone?
I'm so hangy right now... Hannover still has lock down... No dimsum joint open... Äh.. Favorite dimsum is sliced duck meat with jellyfish... Maybe only available in Rotterdam, Holland!
I am watching this in my bed. not gonna lie JUN made me googling The 24 hours Chinese restaurant in Brisbane. Imagine how much money his mom has spent on food 😂
If you’re still in Melbourne, try Food factory near southern cross, I think they’re better than hawker chan. These are also something worth trying: Tengri Tag in Dandenong, Xinjiang Uighur food, their big plate chicken and bbq lamb skewer is amazing. Classic Sichuan Restaurant in Box Hill, Their pork hock soup (蹄花汤) is the best. Chilli Queen of Hunan in Carnegie, by far one of the best Hunan food in Melbourne. Colourful Yunnan in Carlton. If you want to try some Yunnan food, that’s the best place to go. Soi 38 in Melbourne, one of the most special Thai food in Melbourne located near parliament inside a car park. Their BBQ and Thai hotpot is amazing. And they have the best Thai noodle / rice soup in Melbourne. Chicken episode in St Kilda, you will find the best Korean Fried chicken here and you can challenge yourself to a super spicy but delicious chicken wing. Make sure you order original flavour. David Malatang, Melbourne. Well, almost everybody in Melbourne know they are amazing.
tried TIM HO WAN once before in Sydney, not bad but not not that good, honestly. Maybe the original on in HK is much better and authentic. Sydney actually has lots of traditional yumcha restaurants to try and experience. This just reminds me of going in this Easter holiday 😄
Hi Amy....two restaurants i think you can give a shot...Haidilao ( I'm sure you tried before but we'd like to see your parents reaction) and chiway in burwood (Shanghainese cuisine, which is very authentic from my view)...and any good peking duck in Sydney you'd recommend???
amy, i feel bad for your girl friends, they must be so full eating with Jun, lol. I have always given hawker chan a miss even though i am living in Singapore, i think it is overrated definitely. cheers and looking forward to the next clip!
I would split the bill just to eat a bite of everything he ate and then watch him eat everything else! Would be worth more than going to the theater at the same price 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice 'loophole' Blondie. Yes, one of everything is the best way, especially with friends to split the tab. About chicken feet and other meat dishes, Asian food is preferred with bones. Eating a hunk of meat without bone actually quite boring and less tasty. Keep it up with the food videos! Much appreciated.
Overseas have many traditional Chinese food, becoz of migrant, and the rise of demand in China, so, many, almost all of them get dim sum from factory/standardized kitchen, instead of make by themselves(there are still some restaurant making it, and some dishes as the signature dishes remain make in the restaurant)
The now TimHoWan(s) in Hong Kong is not as good as when it was a small eatery first opened in MongKok years ago. The TimHoWan in Melbourne is just disappointing... compare to what I had in Hong Kong... Xifan is cute!
I wanna know - what are your must-order Yum Cha dishes???
蝦餃，鳳爪，牛肉腸粉。
Just in case you didn’t find out. That cake thing you tried is called 馬拉糕.
馬拉糕 豉汁排骨 鳯抓 燒賣 蝦蛟 腸粉 蘿蔔糕 糯米雞 皮蛋瘦肉粥
牛肉腸粉, 蝦餃, 潮州粉粿, 鹹水角, 腐皮捲, 蘿蔔糕, 排骨, 炸魷魚鬚, 美極牛仔骨, 甘栗陳皮蒸牛肉
sui mai, chicken feet, and tofu skin roll!
Yes, I know! I too got the chopsticks backwards. Haha. Didn’t change the flavour one bit though.
you are so lucky to have such an amazing wife and children. every time amy uploads with you two i am so happy to watch but also so jealous to see parents who are so supportive and wonderful

Those BBQ pork buns you had were of the yin yang variety, popularized in HK & Taiwan, known as pineapple bbq pork buns, hence the sweet, flaky top crust.
ya the pineapple bbq pork buns has been pretty popular in Hong Kong. you should totally check it out next time in Hong Kong
Great video, love it when your parents are with you and willing to try different foods.
Love how Jun is just eating no time for camera
Would totally watch Jun if he had a food vlog/mukbang channel. I get Mike Chen vibes from him :)
Mike Chen? from Strictly Dumplings?
Jun and mike chen wont get along I guess, jun is half uyghur if I remember, and mike chen is from FLG.

Amy your dad is such a boss the way he devoured that chicken and noodles.
Tim Ho Wan’s pork buns are their signature dish. Taste much better at their 1st shop in Mongkok, HongKong.
Hope you enjoy your time at MEL Amy, lots of great Chinese restaurants here too!
Love your parents, they are always so nice and supportive! would like to cook a home-style meal for them!
Hihi i am from HK, the pork bun is adapted to include another all time favorite from local bakeries called Mexican Bun, with the sweet top on the bun
I come from Zhuhai, Guangdong, and my family goes to yum cha every weekend. There are many types of restaurants here.

Hi Amy....two restaurants i think you can give a shot...Haidilao ( I'm sure you tried before but we'd like to see your parents reaction) and chiway in burwood (Shanghainese cuisine, which is very authentic from my view)...and any good peking duck in Sydney you'd recommend???
You made my mouth watery wit yummy delicious food great info mudt try next time
amy, i feel bad for your girl friends, they must be so full eating with Jun, lol. I have always given hawker chan a miss even though i am living in Singapore, i think it is overrated definitely. cheers and looking forward to the next clip!
I knew Hawker Chan is one of them!!
This dude really loves his food haha
I don't eat much so I'm not gonna eat with Jun and split the bill hahahahahahaha!
I would split the bill just to eat a bite of everything he ate and then watch him eat everything else! Would be worth more than going to the theater at the same price 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice 'loophole' Blondie. Yes, one of everything is the best way, especially with friends to split the tab. About chicken feet and other meat dishes, Asian food is preferred with bones.
Eating a hunk of meat without bone actually quite boring and less tasty. Keep it up with the food videos! Much appreciated.
Thanks so much!
Super video! I applauded for A$5.00 👏👏
Should have invited a Cantonese to go yumcha with you 😂 OMG 添好运 I am crying in Auckland 😂
Mum Jo: *stares*
Amy: What's wrong?
Mum Jo: Your chopsticks are the wrong way around.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA THIS MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD
Overseas have many traditional Chinese food, becoz of migrant, and the rise of demand in China, so, many, almost all of them get dim sum from factory/standardized kitchen, instead of make by themselves(there are still some restaurant making it, and some dishes as the signature dishes remain make in the restaurant)
Yum cha in Melbourne is so expensive!
The now TimHoWan(s) in Hong Kong is not as good as when it was a small eatery first opened in MongKok years ago. The TimHoWan in Melbourne is just disappointing... compare to what I had in Hong Kong...
Xifan is cute!
I just noticed - my friend is part of the group of ladies taking pictures. I'm gonna let her know she is in your video LOL!
XO sauce means a super delicious sauce, just like the XO grade of French cognac.
