i remember in 2020, you said you struggle with english sometimes but you gained so much confidence with speaking❤ happy chinese new year

the part where the mum called her daughter to help at the kitchen, thats a very important aspect of Asian culture. Thats how recipes are passed from a generation to the next.

[@joyhanson8654]

I think all human cultures mothers are supposed to pass on to daughters "how to cook", or family secret recipes.

[@lorenebonsu146]

Yeah every culture do this, I’m African and my mom did the same. Not that I listened though 🥲. Now I regret it because I eat shitty processed Americans food. My moms cooking is so much better 😭. 21 and still can’t cook 👩‍🍳

[@kamranrowshandel6395]

Her daughter referred to the pickles as "non-American pickles". Yes, there is a myth that nomadic people are getting big muscles by living off of the land. Oh shit where's the ☕. THEY *ARE AMERICAN PICKLES* IF YOU MAKE THEM IN AMERICA. YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB "OF COLONIZING" IN AMERICA BY MAKING GOOD PICKLES. Your daughter needs to know.

Wendy is a lovely and respectful daughter. I'm glad you have her to share in your traditions and heritage. She does so with such respect.

[@mallowhoney]

Since I didn't have the chance to know my grandma but I was still raised mostly around Polish-American culture, to feel closer to her since watching your videos I started to joke to my mom that I measure with my Polish eyeballs. She doesn't get it yet... but she will! I should send her more and more of your videos because they always make me smile.

[@matthew7843]

I just had my mother pass away prior to Christmas last year and something I find most upsetting is have yet to start my own family and otherwise my moms grandchildren will not be with her as they grow up. Reading your comment brought a tear to my eye considering your experience growing up without your grandmother. Thank you for sharing and it leaves me happy knowing my children can look forward to a similar experience.

[@yefefiyah]

My grandmother was from Poland, too. Never saw her measure anything, and she taught me to cook.

This is the most magical comment..I too measure with my Arab eyeballs after watching her for so long. ❤❤❤❤

Wendy's laugh is so contagious I can't stop smiling along! Hahaha

[@RegLove12]

I miss my mom…we’re Filipino’s but she use to believe in Chinese feng chui…every new year she would decorate the house lavishly and have 13 round fruits on the table and all that stuff. I remember she would give us red envelopes with money inside as well. And the gold chocolate coin was always a fave of mine..Everything was better when she was around. New year now just isnt the same without her. 😢

[@spotteddogmemphis]

I was the same as your kids with speaking my mom’s language, korean. I wish I wasn’t such a punk. Knowing two languages is an amazing life skill to have.

[@kathduncan9618]

Happy Chinese New Year! Your spread was beautiful. My husband is Chinese and this is my second year celebrating… I love our traditions with the kids and all our family. ❤

[@lynne3402]

Beautiful family! it is nice to see families celebrating their culture. It is also nice to see you pass on your culture and traditions to the younger generation. It is important for the young generation to not forget who they and where they come from. Thank you for sharing.

And then she said “hello,hellooo”. And I started laughing in surprise and she also started laughing. We all watch ur videos actually. But never knew it.

She is indeed getting better. That's the good thing about kept on learning. I don't speak mandarin chinese. And iam not a fluent english speaker. But, iam trying to understand and embrace the method of loving to learn new things of the world to offer. And i like watching her vlog. New step for food and funny ways she is doing in the video. :-D

[@wumao6797]

I found out when I was working in China that not all Chinese families have the same CNY dinner. Those Northern Chinese CNY dinner dishes is so different than those Southern Chinese and some Chinese co-workers that belong to certain dialect group celebrate their CNY 15 days later.

[@Kirito14682]

I think most kids that are from immigrant parents are going to slowly forget how to speak their parent's native language just because they don't speak it often enough. Growing up me and my siblings have to speak Chinese and we were watching Chinese tv even though we were in America. There were many instances where we had to translate to our parents in Chinese what the mail or document says.

[@anshicaaron80]

So you made so many dishes and your husband couldn't make rice? And instead shrugged? Ugh. You deserve better

Is your husband served restaurant-style Chinese dishes everyday and he's no longer excited at dinner time? Rice can be ready in less than one hour. Start dinner first!!! You're an amazing cook and mom. And wife! Happy New Year.

[@margi9103]

My rice is ready in 12 minutes. I use a microwave rice cooker using the absorption method. Not everyone would think cooking rice in the microwave is OK, but our family has being doing it this way for years. All other Chinese (Cantonese style) food is cooked traditionally.

[@gangshan]

高溫烹煮例如油炸烘烤最好不要用植物油，除非是椰子油，茶油，Avocado 油，胚芽迷油。但其他常見的植物油，豆油，沙拉油，玉米油，葵瓜子油，花生油，棕櫚油，芝麻油。。。都耐不住高溫，會變質變酸，造成動脈硬化，高血壓，心臟病，。。。。。
