Wow, the abalone siu mai blew me away..........it was just fantastic looking and I'm very sure it's delicious.......salute!

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

It was very impressive to see abalone as a dim sum item. It was very tasty. Thanks for checking outmy video.

Your commentary is very helpful in demystifying Chinese cooking for westerners. Much appreciated thanks.

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

You're very welcome. Thanks for the feedback. Sometimes I forget that Chinese ingredients are still a mystery to a lot of people. Thanks for checking out my video.

Your mom is enjoying her dim sum. Prince is one of the better restaurants in east Van, been there several times. Delicious ! Please don't fight for the bill.

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

Mom like dim sum. We passed by this restaurant and and never thought about going in. The food is pretty good. Once in awhile I fight for the bill. Thanks for checking out my video.

Great Video Dan!!!

Thanks very much. Thanks for checking out my video.

[@susieangelo6410]

Hi Dan, it's so great to see your Mom again. I missed her cooking from previous years on KZbin and your Dad's pork chops too. Take care everyone. Say "Hi" to Mom for me.

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

My mom doesn't do as much cooking as before and I try to use my dad's techniques in cooking. I'll be sure you said hi to my mom. She's thrilled when I tell her when a viewer says hi. Thanks for viewing my video.

[@LivingLife128]

your moms toisanese reminds me of my grandmother talking. its been a few years since i have been to Van BC . only a couple of hours south.

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

We speak Hoiping dialect, which sounds almost the same as Toisanese. We're both part of the four counties in southern China known as "Sai Yip. The other two counties are Yinping and Sunwui. Basically it's four counties all speaking the same or similar dialect. Thanks for checking out my video. Are you living in the U;S.?

Love your blog Dan! Your mom is so adorable! Love this place! From another CBC!

Much appreciated. It's a pretty good restaurant. My mom and I thank you for checking out our video.

[@jordanw8382]

Man do I ever miss having dim sum in Vancouver.

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

I guess you would because dim sum in Vancouver is pretty good. Thanks for checking out my video.

[@jordanw8382]

@@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV Arguably the best dim sum anywhere. I am enjoying watching you and your mom munch, crunch, and slurp up all this goodness and talking in Toi San Wah while I'm in our dim sum desert.

[@enkadude]

I have a suggestion for a nostalgic dim sum place you should try... Flamingo...

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

Thanks for the suggestion. I went to a banquet there on Cambie Street a few years when I was a director for the Chinese Canadian Historical Society of B.C. I heard the owner sold the restaurant to real estate developers and the workers got a bonus when they closed. I also heard they were relocating to Marine Drive but I'm not sure if that's true. Also, I heard some of their kids started a new modern take on dim sum on Broadway but I can't find the newspaper clipping on it. Thanks for checking out my video.

[@arielbalangue6489]

Chow men is the best noodles I ever tasted 5 stars

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

I totally agree. Noodles are one of my favorite foods. Thanks for viewing my video.

It looked like a fight was breaking out. So many fights and attacks these days, thought it was gonna be another one. 🤣

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

It happens once in awhile and no one blinks an eye. On the other hand, when my grandfather and my dad operated restaurants, there were some real fights. Thanks for checking out my video.

Dinesty is also delicious

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

Which Dinesty location do you like? I might do a video. Thanks for viewing my video.

[@9363234]

dipping sauce for eggplant looks like MaePloy Sweet Chili Sauce, been around for years.

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

Thanks for the update. I've never bought it before but MaePloy looks like a good brand. Thanks for checking out my video.

[@redbunnytail9528]

Looks like more fusion cuisine. Siu Mai is definitely dim sum staple. Joong is too, but this version of the lotus leaf rice tamale looks kinda watered down. The glutinous rice doesn't look sticky enough. Doesn't look like it absorbed the juices from the filling, either. And fried noodles and pork chops, kinda an odd thing to see at dim sum. Um. This mom looks like she wants siu mai, the shrimp dumplings, the mini spare ribs and chicken feet, for starters.

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

The rice wasn't glutinous rice and it wasn't claypot rice so I don't know what to classify it as. My mom went to dim sum yesterday and she did have the chicken feet, spareribs and asked for jelly fish which wasn't on the menu. She went to the Seaport Restaurant in City Square, which used to be the Kirin Restaurant. You're pretty accurate about what she likes. Thanks for checking out my video.

[@banzaiburger9589]

Oh my goodness, I’ve never seen abalone topped dimsum before. I won’t ask how much that cost. Where I live in the SF East Bay, the best dimsum restaurant that’s not in Chinatown recently closed. I was very sad.

[@minniec.9127]

Menu price says $13.98

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

Kind of on the high end compared to other "siu mai" dumplings, but well worth it. Thanks for viewing my video.

[@sidneystephens2830]

that reminds of sapporo Hokkaido jApan food

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

I'll have to check into their food. Thanks for checking out my video.

[@ptg01]

Dishes look amazing.... Unfortunately, I think you had several Inaccurate descriptions on how courses are prepared.. As an example, the pork chop does not appear braised.. Braising is, "the cooking of meat or vegetables by heating them slowly with oil and moisture in a tightly sealed vessel. Braising differs from stewing, in which the food is immersed in liquid, and from covered roasting, in which no liquid is added. Braising is a combination of covered roasting and steaming." It may just be simmered ? I've also been to Cantonese restaurants advertised their fish dish as braised.. Braising fish does not make sense to me as it will just fall apart. That does not look like "PLUM Sauce" either.. It looks more like Thai Sweet Chili sauce ?

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

You're right. It's the second time I have said that in a video. Thanks for sharing your observation. Thanks for viewing my video.

[@debussyx]

Lots of new videos recently!

The best Chinese food in North America would be, where else, in a Las Vegas casino. Come for the food, stay for the Chinese style gambling. 😂

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

Funny thing, I've been to Las Vegas a few times, but I have never ordered any Chinese food there. I'll be sure to try the Chinese food in a Las Vegas casino next time I go there. Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for checking out my video.

[@minniec.9127]

Looked like wood ear mushroom, not cloud ear?

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

Wood ear mushrooms are the thick crunchy ones. Thanks for viewing my video.

[@edgarta7143]

I found human hairssss and a piece of plastics in the food .

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

Sorry to hear that. So many things can happen along the food chain. Thanks for viewing my video.

[@sbmedex3421]

your videos would be better if u stated the price of each dish....

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

I leave prices out most of the time because if someone was viewing this video years later, the prices wouldn't be relevant. Thanks for viewing my video.

[@genghissu1185]

Abalone is too expensive to eat now! last time I was going to buy a can it would had cost me £55 in Chinatown in Liverpool! it was in a locked glass cabinet, I just started laughing at the idea of it locked away like gold! that was over 25 years ago, I have not been back there in all of this time but the manners of some of the workers there are very questionable.

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

It's the same with abalone in our area. The Asian supermarkets keep the abalone locked in the fridges and freezers. I was surprised they served abalone siu mai dumplings in the restaurant in this video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Thanks for checking out my video.
