Best New Chinese Restaurant Dim Sum (Paramount Restaurant Review) Delicious Stinky Fruit Dumpling

New Chinese restaurant opens in East Vancouver. The new restaurant is called Paramount Chinese Restaurant and has been open for a few months now. It was formerly called Lucky Plus Chinese Restaurant, which was a popular Chinese restaurant at this location for many years.
The new Paramount Chinese Restaurant features traditional Chinese dishes, including some delicious dim sum dishes.
In this video I try the Crispy, deep fried Durian Fruit dumpling. Durian is known as a stinky fruit but this dumpling was delicious without the smell. I also tried their grilled prawn chive dumpling, beef briskey with rice noodles and the Chinese football dumpling.
The second half of my video features my restaurant quality Chinese recipe for Chinese Football Dumplings. It's a simple deep fried dumpling that is easy to make if you have the right ingredients. Check it out and tell me what you think.
Chinese Football Dumpling is a popular dish for Dim Sum. 咸水角 Also known as Hum Sui Gok, which translates as Salt Water Corner. Popular Chinese street food. This dumpling is crispy on the outside. It's soft and chewy on the inside. Just be careful when you are deep frying these dumplings. Sometimes the bubbles on the surface of the dumpling will pop, explode or split.
I order this dumpling almost every time I go for dim sum. In this video, we visit a famous local restaurant, Sun Sui Wah Restaurant, for dim sum lunch. They serve a delicious Chinese Football Dumpling, as well as a tasty roasted pigeon and a yummy prawn chive dumpling. Our visit to this restaurant was during the Pandemic Restrictions.
The recipe for Chinese Football Dumpling is below:

That's right. Thanks for checking out my video.

[@DeadbyDaylightDUO]

Wow! That was a mean football dumpling at 14:16! So nice to see you and your mother go places together! She is such a treasure! 😊

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

I've had dumplings split open but never actually explode like that before. Weird that I caught it on the video. I agree, my mom is a treasure and I'm always happy to take her out to eat. Thanks for checking out my video.

It must always be a nice feeling to meet someone from the Four Counties. Their food looked really delicious.

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

Yes, thee it is a nice feeling because there is the shared connection. The food is pretty good and not too expensive compared to a lot of restaurants. Thanks for viewing my video.

[@lgman83]

Wow I had to drive all the way to Richmond's Yin Ji Chang Fen for this. Good Find!

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

Thanks for letting me know about this place. I was going to go to the Richmond Hudson's Bay, so I'll be sure to give it a try. Thanks for checking out my video.

Wow! Deep fried durian balls? I have never in my life heard of this. Now am very curious if it exists in San Francisco. Thanks for this very interesting video Dan

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

You're very welcome. I hope you find some deep fried durian in San Fran. They were quite tasty. Thanks for checking out my video.

My Toisan family never called them football dumplings even though we live in the US. They were always referred to as "gai loong" (aka chicken basket). Filling consisted of diced pork, dried shrimp, dried black mushroom, preserved radish, celery, onion and scallion.

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

Yes, some people call the football dumplings "gai loong". Other people call them "hum sui gok", aka salt water corners. I'm probably only one of the few people that call these football dumplings so I was surprised they are called football dumplings on the menu. If you like, check out my mom's recipe for "gai loong" kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYO4e3-qqcR8sNk Thanks for checking out my video.

[@minniec.9127]

@@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV I know others who call them "football" dumplings. I believe the term was coined by Chinese born in North America. Toisan call them gai loong and in Cantonese, it is hom sui gok.

[@Fabulousprofound168]

Fried durian?!? 😱🤢 I lack the courage to try 😅

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

I'm not a big fan of durian but this deep fried durian was pretty good. I wonder if they put some other ingredients in there. Thanks for checking out my video.

[@Fabulousprofound168]

I guess this proves that anything can be good if you deep fry it… even durian 😅

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

@@Fabulousprofound168 You could be right. I had durian ice cream before but I didn't really like it. Thanks for commenting.

[@autumnloveist]

Yes is not as stinky as pooh!

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

I have never smelled it when it's ripe. One of the hotels i stayed at in Thailand banned it from the hotel rooms. Thqnks for checking out my video.
