Martina is looking gorgeous. Like I can't take my eyes off her. You go gurl!!! Also, I have already watched the dim sum video on King Kogi twice now, so its great to see more about it on the EYK channel :)
I know, right! I feel like she looks more confident and happy.
I clicked on this video so fast, thinking the same thing she looks great!
I’ve been going through a really tough time lately…I got broken up with, my tía (who is very dear to me) died, my uncle from the other side of my family died the same day, I lapsed on my meds…yeah it’s been rough…but seeing your poster behind you that says “beautiful girl you can do hard things” just brought me to tears.
I can do this.
I can do this!
You can indeed. *huge hugs* I can too.
Yass Girl! Keep building your ladder! 🪜 ❤
Let's do this!!
You can do this 💖 You are strong and if you need moments to just cry and let your emotions out, you do that!! Things will get better, just take each day as it comes and as mentioned above, build your ladder 🪜 💖
I am crying reading your comment. Sending you hugs and comfort from Ireland. You will get through this!
She’s back!! You look amazing Martina!! Great video of course! 😁
That's exactly what went through my head.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video. It makes me hungry just rewatching it haha
She is glowing and we love to see it 🥺❤️✨
Thank you! Feeling much more like my true self again.
@@eatyourkimchi That is so wonderful to hear. I'm so happy for you ❤️.
@@eatyourkimchi It shows and it's so good to see. Know we are all here rooting you on. This video was incredible. I felt like I was there experiencing the place. Can't wait for the next one.
As someone who grew up in the HK culture, it was super interesting to hear you describe your first dim sum experience - I've literally never thought about how strange/intimidating someone who has never been exposed to dim sum might find the whole experience, but you're right, it is vastly different from any other dining experience you would get in a western society. Thank you for introducing dim sum to everyone in such an approachable way - it's so delicious and I hope this encourages more people to try it!
This video shows just how great of a storyteller you are. You pulled us right into your memories and made us feel like we were there with you! 💖💜. Thank you for the cozy vacation into Martina Land!
well thank you kindly, but it was really Miki and her mom that we should thank for introducing me to so many interesting foods 👩🏻🦳💕
@@eatyourkimchi 3 cheers for Miki!! 🎉🥳
It's nuts how much experiences we have in our childhood/teenage years can affect us so much. I really loved this storytime, it seemed to have sparked a lifetime interest in Asian food and good food in general.
fancy seeing my fav BTS show here happy to meet here with Martina
Martina is literally made to be a youtuber, she's such an amazing storyteller. We love you!
Martina's description of the dim-sum restaurant made me emotional because I was reminded of some of my childhood memories. And as an adult, when me and my friends has nowhere to go in the middle of the night, we'll go to this dim-sum place that operates 24/7. Ever since Coldemort, we weren't able to go there as a big group anymore and you know how food taste less delicious when you're not having them with the usual gang.
Anyway, thank you Martina for always bringing us fun contents! And your hair is GORGEOUS here.
Just left my 13 year relationship and it's been hard since I've been with them since I was 16...but seeing you thrive is so inspiring 💖 love you and thank you! 😊 one foodie to another 😋
One step at a time! We support you too. You got this 😘
I've been there. Things will get easier! 😘 Just be excited and open for the new version of yourself that you're becoming and that you'll be getting to know! 😊 It's awesome! 🥰
You have no idea how happy I (and clearly all of us) are to see you back. Martina, I am consistently awe struck by your ability to tell your stories in a way that helps a stranger to you understand and see it all in our minds eye. Keep going and we're rooting you on like heck. Go girl!
Wow, thank you! 👩🏻🦳💕
Martina! Your hair is luminous, skin glowing; you look beautiful! Love you story and how it ties in to your dim sum video on your King Kogi channel 😊❤️
Thank you! THE POWER OF MAKEEEEUPPPP! And I am feeling much perkier and excited to be back doing what I love. Food, videos, editing, and setting up mukbangs for tiny backyard chipmunks LOOOL (that was a new unexpected one)
@@eatyourkimchi "Chipmunk mukbangs!!!" ahahahaaaaa
@@eatyourkimchi we love seeing a refreshed, perkier Martina! Can't wait for more food videos of either the Martina or chipmunk mukbang kind! 🐿 👑🐷❤️
The wood paneling basement of an older Canadian home is such a mood and I miss it.
Growing up with dim sum, I'm missing a simpler time. My brother passed three months ago and one of my favourite memories of him was us going to get dim sum. Eating together has always brought us together, we had a pretty tense relationship. I'll love him forever. I'm remembering him now. Thank you for reminding me Martina. Much love.
Martina’s joyous enthusiasm is what brings me back to this channel! Despite difficulties in life, she always brings light!
Wonderful seeing a video from you Martina!! Thank you for sharing such a cherished memory!
Something so comforting about Martinas voice and the way she speaks 😁
This video shows perfectly why you're one of my biggest inspirations as a teacher. I feel like I'm literally immersing myself in your vividly depicted stories as if I were there as well. Amazingly done, Martina. 🌸
I love how you describe the bottles on the table looking like "potions." Cooking has always seemed like magic to me.
The feeling of going to a steamy restaurant with carts piled high with dishes, sitting around the round table with friends and family. That big sharing experience is something I've missed so much.
For those living around east midland area England, there’s a restaurant called Man’s in Nottingham which sells really delicious dim sum! My favourite dim sum is garlic and ginger beef tripe, definitely a must try! And as always, thank you Martina for spreading love and awareness, letting people discover new cuisines especially this time, cuisines from my background!
The queen has blessed us with new content!! We are so grateful of the effort that you put into making videos for us, Martina. You are so loved.💗💗💗💗
I'm not very good at pin yin so here goes: Dan tat: egg custard tarts. Pai guat. Chunks of pork ribs with black beans. Chicken feet, both in the red sauce or plain. Congee with 1000 year old egg and pork, so good! Tripe, brisket with radish... I'm salivating. Freshly made soy milk.
Thanks for the recommends! YUM!
Having neighbours from all over the world is one of the best things about living in Canada
Listening to you talk is like having someone describe Christmas to someone who doesn’t know what that is. It’s magical! I wonder if there are people watching this video who have never had dim sum who are so intrigued by your storytelling. If you’ve never tried dim sum, these descriptions are so accurate. Dim sum is amazing.
Martina, that shade of blonde looks so good on you. ㅠㅠ It makes the color in your tattoos pop too. ~
Aw... Hi Martina! as a chinese/cantonese myself I really happy that you make a dim sum video. I'm really craving for Siu Mai and Liu Sha Bao (Salted Egg Custard Bun) now.
You are such a good storyteller! I would love a podcast from you again, I was always transported by the way you tell stories.
The queen herself has blessed us with a new video 🥰 So happy to see your content again, Martina.
I am so so happy to see a video from you Martina! I’m going through a hard time with me anxiety/ocd, and you give me a nice reprieve with this video. Thank you so much!
You describe the whole dim sum experience perfectly! If I weren’t Chinese and going to dim sum forever, I would definitely feel intimidated not knowing what to do in the situation, and your storytelling really makes it less scary for those who may have been hesitant. My favorite is the turnip cake. It’s funny cuz my in-laws make their homemade version around lunar new year, and it’s the best I’ve ever eaten. It’s chock full of flavorful bits and we cut it up and steam it or pan fry it. But I still crave the dim sum version because it’s what I had every time we went to a restaurant. Heading over to your channel to see your dim sum review!
omg. that first anecdote. that must have been such a magical experience for you
I met up with Miki at the end of July for an outdoor meal (we were both vaccinated FINALLYYYYYY) and I told her about this upcoming video and we had such a nice little memory trip! She totally remembered that day too
@@eatyourkimchi that must have been so fun!! Miki and her mum have been in almost all of your anecdotes and I'm so happy you guys got to catch up!!
I adore hargow! I make my own lunch with egg noodles and the hargow, water and the soy sauce that took me a while to find that tastes just perfect. I drain out a little of the liquid at the end so the egg noodles can sit in the air rather than being submerged
OOoOOh what a brilliant idea!
Great to see you back Martina! You have a genuine love and knowledge of East Asian cuisine. Great to have the different varieties explained in an accessible way for those of us who are amongst the completely uninitiated. Thnx! 🥂..
I love the "saucy tofu crepes", very tickled by your recollection of first dimsum encounters, thank you!
Also just want to share that many elderly people go to dimsum in the morning even if they are living alone - dimsum may look like little bites that naturally SHOULD BE shared, but while it does facilitate that, there is no stigma WHATSOEVER about ordering just 1-2 dimsum dishes and enjoying a solitary morning on your own.
(P.S. Describing eating culture in my hometown, Hong Kong!) (Edit: Gosh just finished the whole video. This was a full-on, FULL-ON HOMAGE to dimsum. Thank you so so so so much, Martina. It's almost making me cry! I want to share this video with so many of my friends and loved ones.)
I am really happy you dove into a sub culture that I grew up with all my life!! For years and years I've seen you document your food adventures all over the globe and dim sum holds such a sentimental place in my heart
It’s so cute that you described har gao as seashell-shaped. I personally have never seen it this way and I love all things seashelly because hey I am a Mermaid. A Chinese Mermaid. Oh and “Lor Mai Gai” is pronounced as “Law My Guy”.
I so enjoy hearing Martina talk about anything - even things I already know about!
Martina always makes food and cooking sound so extravagant and magical ✨ she speaks so beautifully 💕 I’m craving dim sum so badly now haha
TWO AMAZING VIDEOS IN ONE DAY?! What a treat. It’s so good to see you and your magic. I loved both videos btw! This story time made me particularly nostalgic because I feel that my first dim sum memory sparked a love for exploring food and culture. I begged my parents (I’m from Oshawa) to take me to Dim Sum on my 11th birthday and finally we went to a Dim Sun place in China Town. It truly was a memorable experience and hey, I’m a foodie now too girl. I love your food videos always! I can’t wait for the next one. 💖💖
WOW what a great story! Thanks for sharing. There is 0% chance my parents would have ever eaten at a Dim Sum restaurant haha it was Swiss Chalet or St.Hubert for special occasions only.
You're looking soo beautiful - as always - Martina! 💖 So glad to see you upload, this just made my day! 🥰❤
I literally just watched the ep on King Kogi! Heck yeah. Loved watching both!
So happy to see you and feel your glow again. I love getting caught up in your stories again! Your aura seems bright and open again! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
my hongkong-born family runs a couple dim sum restaurants and seeing you talk so enthusiastically about the dishes I grew up with makes me feel so happy ! sending you lots of love and support Martina!
also your pronunciation is so good i know u a real one cos u talked about radish cake!!
So cool! It is TOUGH to run such a busy fast pace restaurant. Things can@t just sit around and wait, or they overcook or cool down. And if you can't properly seal your dumpling? TRAGIC overflow and bursting filling everywhere! Those chefs are awesome with their nibble fingers.
what a beautiful memory and story!
Martina needs a netflix food show ...
Due to the extraordinary ability to pass on the feeling, flavour and overall experience of food just beautifully.
This really felt like I was being read a fantasy bedtime story, I love hearing about your childhood/past experiences. You describe things so creatively and it’s so fun to imagine such a beautiful meal. I definitely do feel intimidated by dimsum restaurants, as a vegetarian, since the most popular things I won’t be able to eat 😵💫 After watching both your vids I genuinely am less intimidated, and I would love to try that garlic snow pea leaf and aubergine 🤤 I’m excited to explore a new cuisine! Hopefully with my friends as soon as I can 🥰
Another one back to back? We’ve been truly blessed 🥺💕💕 Love seeing Martina’s content pop up!
Martina I just love you. I love your energy. Your spirit is literally glowing and your brightness shines on all of us and makes us happy to see you and know you :) you are amazing. You always inspire me. As a fellow EDSer, let’s get through life together! We can do it!
You are looking good and so glad to see you!!! Got my first hard job after many years of being on disability. It's kicking my booty but I'm loving it. I come home sore and using muscles I forgot I had. I'm using my ladder on these days to remind me of why I'm getting outta bed. Thank you for what you've done for me and so many others. Love ya and sending happy and healthy thoughts.
I just underwent emergency surgery for a chronic pain condition its been so hard but I've been building a ladder all thanks to you Martina I can do hard things I'm ready!
muchos lovos from Scotland x
p.s your hair looks fantastic
Also from Toronto here! I can vouch for Rol San, soooo amazing! When I want a quick fix I head to Nations which is an east meets west grocery chain with hot foods too. Not so far off from rol san! Along with Martina’s recommendations I’m a huge fan of deep fried squid tentacles 😁
The video on the King Kogi channel was a lot of fun, too! Thank you for all your hard work! 💕
I haven't seen you in a while so I'm happy you are back on this channel and keeping up the great vibes that touches all of us around the globe and make our day just a bit better😊🤘.
I love sticky rice with red wine vinegar and curry fried squid (it made me fall in love with squid as a kid), if anyone is around Edmonton, Alberta there is an amazing restaurant called Tasty Noodle on the south side its AMAZING!!!
It’s so funny that this video came up while browsing for lunch options haha and Martina, your hair 😍😍 hope you’re well and lots of hugs from London, England ❤️
Make some chapati and cauliflower
Martina is too legit for these double uploads 🥰😩💕✨💕✨
Too legit to quit (hey heyyyyyyyyyyy)
I love the idea of sharing a meal and conversation with you! Your enthusiasm is infectious, and peaks my curiosity. I'd wanna try so many things. I'll need to put this feeling in a jar and bring it with me, the next time I go out to eat. ♡
Looking beautiful! Thank you for all the hard work you’ve done to produce this content for us. Eager for the day your King Kogi channel is ready for memberships. I’ll be there!
I just love your descriptions of food.. the aroma, the taste, the textures. LOVE IT!!
I knew nothing about dim sum before watching this video and now I am looking up restaurants near me because I have to try it!!! You are so great at describing food! Thanks for the video ❤️ I love what you’re doing on the King Kogi channel 😍
OOHH! That is SO great to hear! I hope you find a place and give it a shot
Lets go MARTINA! ❤️
I know it’s totally unrelated to the topic, but just based on your storytelling, I feel like you’d be amazing at D&D 🤣 thanks for sharing the memory of your first dim sum experience with us!
I was a huge D&D player in high school and Uni! Never was DM but we did the talking roleplay type D&D (using the monster guides too of course) rather than the board game type of D&D, and I LOOOOOOVED being in character!
have not sleeped due to severe headache last night. Storytime is just what i need. Always happy to hear from you.
I love these videos! My family is cantonese and yum cha is always so nostalgic to me and feels like home, so it's really nice to hear that you love it too and have such nice childhood memories with it. I've also been lucky enough to have been to Rol San! Unfortunately, it was 3AM so I didn't get to try too much but it was good. My favourite dishes to have are cheung fun and a deep fried glutinous dumpling filled with ground pork. I don't actually know the chinese name for it, but if you see it - definitely give it a try! Glad to see you enjoying yourself!
I was feeling a bit grumpy but this video cheered me right up. You are delightful!
Dim sum is such a big memory food experience for me too! My grandpa used to take my sisters and I to dim sum when we were babies, and we've been going to the same restaurant for 30 years. Every time we go back it's still exactly the same as I remember and absolutely delicious! Awesome video as usual, Martina! Now I'm hungry!! ; )
Yes!! Everything Martina said in the video was completely correct and I'm so glad dim sum can reach more people this way! Frozen dim sum is for sure something I have at home at all times just in case I can't go out to eat it 😆😆 I love to have it in platters to have some variety as well. Can't wait to see what else you introduce!!
Love this!!! Thank you for this lovely piece of storytelling! I can picture this as having illustrations pop up, like some of the storytelling channels on yt! Lol, I see the pictures, and I’m now starving, thank you! Your descriptions were wonderful, I felt like I was there-this could be in an article in any top mainstream publication.
This video is making me so hungry! So lovely to see you Martina and on King Kogi! More of these please. I look forward to seeing what you make next. I have never been to Canada or the US. It's cool to see different yummy food videos from your perspective!
LOVE watching you!! this channel is nothing without your energy
Martina has such an amazing spirit 😪 so much good energy she surpasses anything tbh 🤷♀️ what a boss chick 😭😭😭. GOALS!!!
I loved hearing your experience learning about dim sum. Having grown up with this as an integral part my childhood within a larger Chinese Canadian community, I never had a chance to introduce anybody new to the experience. You're such a good storyteller and I felt the excitement as you described it. Thanks for the wonderful feels 🙏🤗❤
P.s. all of it is my favorite but currently I'm craving the rice rolls drizzled with nutty brown sauce, hoisin sauce and sweet soy sauce (cheung fun)
As someone who went to dim sum constantly while growing up, I really appreciate the description you gave. It's really interesting to hear what it feels like to go for the first time!
Also I can confirm, my mom, who is from Hong Kong, always calls it yum cha and rarely dim sum. The dim sum in Toronto/GTA is very authentic, at least the ones I've been to. The main difference I found between Toronto and Hong Kong is the size, they're not as huge in Hong Kong, I assume because of the lack of space there.
OMGOSH MARTINAAA Making me so hungry this early in the morning!🤣 looks so good and I hope to try it soon! BTW, you're glowing!! love the room vibe too🤣💜💜
Hi Martina! Thanks for the story. I'm so glad Miki and her mom introduced you to dim sum and that you loved it! 🥰 I live in BC now, but I grew up in Calgary, and my go-to place for dim sum there is Forbidden City at the Pacific Place shopping centre. There's also a T&T in the mall, and an Oomomo (formerly Daiso)! So awesome!! 😄
I’m so glad that I got to watch a video sharing the wonderful world of yum cha! All the foods you said that you loved are dishes I love too and have grown up my entire life eating. (I’m partial to Cantonese dim sum however food from all over is delicious) Lo bak gou is also traditionally eaten during Chinese New Year, and most people reserve lo bak gou and lin gou (a sweet date rice cake) to eat during the Chinese New Year period, I love it so much too and could eat it all year round. :D
It's so good to see you!!! You look so vibrant. I hope you're doing well and happy!! All the love from Oregon!!
YES! Martina is too legit to quit!! Love your stories! First time commenter..long time viewer of your videos for years. I lived in Seoul for 2 yrs teaching English in Sinchon pre-youtube days. Lovely to see you are shinning bright on your own. Wish you the best! Subscribing now to YOUR channel. NYC .. too many to name...but old favorite, Sripraphai and new favorite Nneji both in Queens NYC!
Love what you're doing Martina!
Keep on keepin on
Thank u for also showcasing other types of Asian foods. Dim sum is absolutely underrated
I recently relocated from the GTA to LA and watching this video makes me feel so comforted 😭 it's like the comfort of home and the stuff you know
You go boo! Love you @KingKogi. 💕💕💕💕💕💕
Oh love Dimsum. So lovely to see you back Martina. Hope your health is good
Hey, I'm from Ottawa and some of my favourite dim sum places in the city are from Ng's Cuisine, Sea King, Hung Sum and Ha's Dim Sum. Some staple dishes that I order: shrimp siu mai, beef cheung fun, chicken feet with black bean sauce, steamed tripe with ginger and onion, and steamed beef tendons/organs.
The Food Adventures For Awesome People continue, but through storytelling! ^_^
Gotta agree that Martina is a fab story teller, she can really paint an atmosphere with her words.
It’s nice you see you on my subs page. ♥️ my ehlers danlos syndrome has gotten significantly worse within the last few years as I get older, and I think about you a lot. You seem to be doing well! I’m glad
This video makes me so happy because you’ve literally described my first experience of eating dim sum! It also has a very special place in my heart because it was the first time I realised I like prawns and that really has changed my life in terms of finding some amazing food! I love all of the dishes you mentioned, with the 肠粉 rice paper rolls, I really like the flavour that uses a super crispy deep fried dough stick (油条）and spring onions with the sweet soy sauce, the crispyness of the dough stick with the soft chew roll omg 🤤 I love also the beancurd rolls 腐皮卷, I like both kinds, the ones with the pork and prawn and that are steamed with oyster sauce, and then the one that is fried and super crispy; black bean chicken feet are so juicy and plump, I adore these; we also have two other kinds of dumplings served at my local dim sum restaurant, one is called 咸水饺，this is like a mochi like dumpling filled with pork and other in my goodness and then it is deep fried making it super light and crisp~ the second is like a mashed taro dumpling with meat and vegetables; the outside has unique wrapper, when it’s fried it looks slightly like a birds nest! The salted egg yolk buns are out of this world!
I live in Nottingham in the UK, the restaurant is called the Mandarin!
Sending love and support from the UK 🇬🇧 ♥️ 🇬🇧 ♥️🇬🇧 ♥️🇬🇧 ♥️
I love your style of youtube videos/your editing/format etc please never stop making videos they are unmatched!!
yesss i like this dual video format martina ! !
I am just seeing this video now and omg your hair is so beautiful like this!!!!!!
I had a similar experience as a kid, with my friend and her dad taking me to a dim sum restaurant after we had done some grocery shopping! My two favourite places in Calgary are Silver Dragon Restaurant, and Regency Palace!! Both have amazing dim sum. It's been so long since I've had it, this video low key makes me want to order some....
Ahhh, this is making me reminisce about pre-covid times where every time I’d visit my family we would go to one of the very few push cart style dim sum place (most in my city you order a là carte) that are offered here. All the things I’ve taken for granted I truly appreciate now.
I remember when I was little in Toronto going to Chinatown and experiencing Dim Sum!!! I was amazed with the activity of people pushing around carts, and people pointing to things on their carts!!! When we sat down, immediately a lady with a cart came to our table!! We did not speak her language, so we smiled and started pointing to things on her cart that looked delicious!!! I remember it was so much fun!!!!!
Somehow I keep coming back to this channel ever since 2015. Y'all like my parents 👶🏻 we missed u Martina
Wow looking at Martina after so long brings back so many good memories one of the reasons she made my Kpop experience fun lol
GURL UR GLOWINGG 🤩 also from what i know dim sum is actually a speciality of hong kong which is why some of the translations had different spellings/pronunciations (lor mai gai is cantonese whereas nuo mi ji which is mandarin) and my fave dim sum is liu sha bao!! its like a bun filled with salted egg and at the dimsum place i frequent in singapore they have it deep fried so the outside is crispy and when u tear it open the golden lava flows out its SO GOOD
Wow you look sooo good! Literally glowing 🌱
Yeees I’m here for the Martina!!! Love you so much!!!
THat was a great storytime! The dynamics of the restaurant reminded how here in Brazil we have "Rodízios" (something like "rotation") which is exactly the "reverse buffet" hahah we sit back and waiters walk around with the different foods that are available, we do that in steak houses and pizzerias mostly.
Oh wow! That makes so much more sense now. I went to Brazilian steakhouse in Japan for a company end of the year dinner, and they walked around with meat and different things that we could eat, but I didn't realize it was a real thing in Brazil!
