Stumbled upon your video, I remember playing vball with you on the Women's Freemason's with Wilbert and Ho coaching. You still look the same from all those years ago. Congrats on your engagement and your new life in Cali! You mom is hilarious!
Helen, can you sit down and do an interview with your mom and talk about the struggles of Hoisan people back in China? I think it's a story that needs to be shared. I remember you briefly went over how they were given coupons to buy stuff. Hoisan people have went through a lot and I think it's incredible how our families have made a life for themselves here in America. I'm so proud of Hoisan people.
加油阿姨！希望你會跟Helen多D上鏡！我家族來自開平所以聽到台山話好有親切感! Good job auntie - hope you and Helen will appear in more videos often! My family is originally from Kaiping Village so listening to Toisanese makes me feel a sense of closeness!
I came across your vid today and so happy to see it! Your parents are so adorable! Love that you are speaking hoisan wah in your video! I hope to see more of your mom interacting with you on your channel. Lovely family by the way! 😍
So sweet and such a wholesome video!!! Your mom was not a tiger mom in the kitchen! She let you help which is so nice to see💕💕💕 Dad definitely knows his way around the kitchen!
Love watching these home cooking videos! Thank you 阿姨 for teaching us how to make this iconic Chinese dish! The fish looked delicious!! I know what I’ll be making for dinner this week🥰
Hi Nicole, Nothing beats a home cooked meal :-D Just stumbled upon your personal finance and investment channel. Congratulations! Good luck! Glad you are educating yourself and taking control of your own personal finances. Must be very exciting and satisfying...I too went to an expensive B-school and now work for an investment firm in Boston. Let me know if you ever have any questions...good to learn how to make Chinese style steamed fish too :-D haha
I didn't know you were toisan!! It feels super weird (but cool!) hearing youtubers speak toisan because I feel like it's not a very popular dialect. But ayyyy toisan people represent!!!
LOL awesome video Helen! Your parents are so funny and it's cool to see how they're comfortable being on camera. PS almost got blinded by that bling when the ginger and scallion were getting chopped up 💍👀😍👌
i thought it was so rare before to see others speak toisanese... but after reading all these comments and watching the vid... I feel like there's so much more of us!!!
There's such a big toisan community here LOL... just reading through all the comments I'm so happy there are alot of others that speak this dialect as well ;)
Wow I didn’t know you spoke Hoisanwah! This video reminded me exactly of my house, literally down to the dish and pan you steamed the fish in lol. We also speak Hoisanwah and eat that dish at least 1x/week. Please make more Hoisanwah content! It’s somewhat of a dying dialect, so it’d be great if we cultivated more proud around being Toisanese.
my grandma and my aunts are the last to really speak toisanese...! I feel like it's dying after me and our generation... :( I def would love more content like this too!!! :)
sorry to spam w/ comments, but i really enjoy how many of the cooking instructions were given in toishanese (even tho i completely depend on the subtitles bc i don't understand toishanese) bc makes me feel closer? more intimate with you in your mom? something like that.
when watching janet's tomato + egg video, i was so nervous that she'd accidentally cut herself with the knife because her fingers were always in the field of the blade. thankfully, this stress was not present while watching this video bc helen's knuckles were always the first point of contact between her non-knife-holding-hand and knife (ie her knuckles were protecting her fingertips from the blade).
Omg please do more vids with Toisanese, we speak that at home too!
Love the toisan dialect! :) most people are ashamed of it (I feel) but I’ve always been proud that I can speak it lol
same here
Who would be ashamed of our amazing language 😭
The OG home language: toishanese 👌🏼
omg!!! i know right!! my family speaks toisanese and all my friends look at me like im speaking another language when I speak it :$
My family is from Toisan. I love this.
Stumbled upon your video, I remember playing vball with you on the Women's Freemason's with Wilbert and Ho coaching. You still look the same from all those years ago. Congrats on your engagement and your new life in Cali! You mom is hilarious!
Your mom is SOOO smiley and happy!!! She radiates positivity and I love how she laughs at everything
Toisan staple right here! Love the video Helen
What a lovely family !!! 💗💗
This dish reminds me of home. Love this story and seeing the dynamic with the family. Thanks for sharing this.
Aww your parents are the cutest! Love the video! Was anyone else blinded by Helen's ring?? Phil did a an amazing job on it! Lol.
Lol, I know right? When she was picking up the fish, I was like "I'm blind!"
Omg Helen's mom and dad are so adorable!
The parents are so loving
Haha great video!! Love the Toisan dialect and the positive energy between you and your parents! 🥰

It’s comforting to hear that “ng” sound in Toisan.
Your ring is popping, Helen. Phil did a good job!
LOL your mom is jokes. I love seeing your family!! Makes me home sick ❤️ thanks for sharing xx
Exactly what i was looking for to steam a fish i brought home today. thanks!
Always wanted to learn this dish! Thank you, looks sooo bomb
Your family is so cute and the steamed fish looks tasty!
OMG! I'm so in love with this video! Also, I think the steamer thing is called a trivet.
yummy fish! ur parents are both funny! great video!
just earned a new subscriber!
hi 阿姨! this is so cute and wholesome, i love it
More cooking shows from mama Wu!
Awesome video. This is exactly how my parents taught me to cook fish too!
Try adding black bean sauce and lemons for more flavor before steaming
The food looks soooo delicious!! And the babies are adorable!
Love hearing toisan again 😭
I see Quincy!! Woah that's where I get my Asian groceries, at Kam Man too!!!
Here for this Toisan content!
OMG the fish guys at chinese supermarkets ALWAYS have a ton of attitude LOLL I'm glad that's universal :)
Wow I didn’t know you spoke Hoisanwah! This video reminded me exactly of my house, literally down to the dish and pan you steamed the fish in lol.

Omg Helen’s mom and dad are so cute
Love this! Such a cute video! Can totally related haha!!

I felt right at home when I heard my parent's dialect :):) I didn't know you were both toisan as well!!
Aww Helen takes after dad in terms of looks
That was adorable!
Loved this video so much! So funny and felt like home :))
TAISHANESE!!
Mannn love hearing the dialect, whenever we go out in public, my parents always switch to regular canto and its a bit sad
Yo, Helen with the knife skills!!!!
sorry to spam w/ comments, but i really enjoy how many of the cooking instructions were given in toishanese (even tho i completely depend on the subtitles bc i don't understand toishanese) bc makes me feel closer? more intimate with you in your mom?
something like that.
Yee Toison represent!
The thingy will be called a pan riser! Hahahaha
omg I’m from Boston too and go to Kam Man for groceries!!
It's so weird when I see youtubers in Boston and recognize the places!
hi ah yi! you are adorable :)
Blah, I miss home... I knew it's Quincy as soon as I saw the park. How is it with the travel restrictions?
That tomato and egg in the end!!!
1. I like the context switching between Toisan (yes Toisa) - which I do too. 2. this is prepared in a non-fuss fashion - which I do too. = OG
LOVE STEAMED FISH！！！
Hell yah Toisannnn
Lol, I just went there yesterday...
Repping the Toisan dialect!
the steam rack!
Can she share the recipe
when helen and I go to the same chinese grocery store LOL
hm is google listening to my conversations.. i was just telling my gf that i need to eat more steamed food and seafood cuz of my high cholesterol
