Randy-your dad adores you. It’s so nice to see him giving you the fresh roasted char siu pork and calling you ‘son’. That’s how Cantonese parents express love to their kids. Such a heart warming moment.

I really appreciate the fact that he explains the logic behind WHY things are done rather than just saying "do this". Ex: I never understood why chinese cuisine frequently blanches beef/pork. I never saw the point of it.

[@kpewliu4348]

I don't know if it's true for all chinese, but many southern chinese don't really like our meat smelling too strong or gamey. Washing meat thoroughly before cooking and/or blanching it reduces the smell, and taste intensity

[@yuhintse6759]

What Kpew said is true, but we don’t blanch beef or pork for every dish since we can’t marinate the meat. So we just usually wash it if we do need to marinate it.

[@keshams3665]

What I really appreciate about your videos is that you actually show the entire experience of eating Cantonese food: home environment, family gathering and cultural heritage facts. I'm born and raised in Europe with roots from Hong Kong/China and your videos really helps me to understand my grandpa's dishes. He used to be a chef in Hong Kong as well. I will keep our culture alive with help of your videos. Thank you family Lau! Cheers from Amsterdam, Kevin

It is so nice to see that your Dad did not just sit around in the house and just watching TV after his retirement and nice to see that he utilizes his cooking skill and share that with others online here. Good father-and-son team work. As I grown up in a Chinese family, my brother and I had to go home for dinner with parents whenever we can. That is family time as my mom used to say.

[@jeremyyam]

Made with Lau has quickly become my favourite cooking channel, learning how some of my favourite childhood dishes are made has really helped me reconnect with my roots. Growing up and living in England for so long has made me lose touch with not just the culture, but the language too.

It was delicious and I appreciate all the details and information provided in the video, including history, origin of curry, and the lovely teaching by Mr. Lau. You have such a lovely family and it's heartwarming and inspiring to see.

[@FoodaFIISH]

Happy Birthday to Hong Doy!! Just found the channel maybe about a month ago and have been watching the vids more frequently as it brings a lot of memories of my grandpa and his cooking, and also because it revitalizes my Cantonese culture that has unfortunately been diluted due to being away from home and my family not being traditional in regards to making Cantonese food. Luckily my mom has been learning to make more Cantonese dishes and after showing some of these vids to her, we'll be trying to make some when I return home for vacation!

[@xskippzx]

Made this the other night and I finished eating all of it already! Omg, such a nostalgic dish for me, my family always ordered this dish when we go out to eat. I was afraid the dish wouldn't turn out quite right because the curry powder I used was from an american market, but it still came out great. Thank you and daddy Lau for an amazing recipe! I really appreciate the tips and tricks especially about covering the noodles.

[@ecksrey7]

Always loved this dish, it was a staple at the restaurant when the family would get together with my grandmom for dinner. All us cousins would have a kid's table, and if we were good, we'd get soda with our noodles! It's been twelve years since my grandmom passed, my mom's retirement age, and all us cousins are raising our own families now. But everytime I taste this "my fun" - a part of my mind takes me back. Hug your dad for me, for all of us. Memories are golden, they're little snapshots of joy we hold onto as we navigate life.

A Singaporean here! Actually, "Singapore Noodles"/星洲米粉 is a common dish that can be found typically in a local zi char (煮炒) stall. It's really interesting though because over here, in Singapore we typically call it "Xin/Sin Chow Bee Hoon" in English. The ingredients used are different but the essence of the dish is roughly the same!

[@MadeWithLau]

Thanks for sharing!

Really? I really don't find any curry flavored bee Hoon dish in Singapore.

[@kathleennorton6108]

[@ashke1348]

Totally agree with Alvin, we didn't know it's call 'Singapore noodle' in English - definitely '星洲米粉' or ''Xin/Sin Chow Bee Hoon'. Although, the word '星洲' does makes it sound Singapore. Tribute to some of our forefathers who migrated from China to Malaya (Singapore + Malaysia) I supposed :)

[@priscillayong4687]

Hey Lau family, great content there! I finally know the mysterious origin of "Singapore" noodles now. As a Singaporean, it puzzled me when I see "Singapore" noodles on the menu during my travels. Echoing other Singaporean viewers here, we don't see it at home. But from your explanation, it makes sense it's called "Singapore" noodles, since the ingredients are from a mix of different cultures found here in melting pot Singapore.

[@Jumpoable]

Obviously stir-fried rice noodle dishes exists all over Southern China & SE Asia, but [Sing Zau Chaau Mai] "Singaporean Fried Rice Noodle" is a classic HONG KONG dish. I.E.: it has NOTHING to do with Singapore, as this video had made abundantly clear. HK chefs added curry powder to a normal Cantonese stir-fried mai fun/ mi hoon/ bee hoon & just called it "Singaporean" because #currypowder. It's available in every cha chaan teng (cheap cheap mom & pop diner) & HKers are obsessed with this dish (it's a lot of people's go-to when we don't know what to eat). You Singaporeans are famous for Hainan chicken rice but it doesn't exist in Hainan. Same thing.

[@301250]

And neighbouring Malaysia too!

[@mjlim6610]

@@Jumpoable I think part of it is that when going around various Chinatowns in the US/UK etc, you can always somehow find "Singapore noodles" but you don't often find "Hainanese chicken rice".

[@Jumpoable]

@@mjlim6610 Because various Chinatowns in the US/UK are composed mostly of CANTONESE immigrants, either from HK or Guangzhou from way back. So yes, the HK stamped "Singapore Fried Noodles" will be a staple on the menu of Cantonese diners & classic Chinatown Chinese restaurants. Hainan chicken rice is pretty much a staple in diners & hotels in Hong Kong nowadays (from Thai-Chinese style to Singaporean/ Malaysian style), but it's not something the early Cantonese migrants who started restaurants would've known to put on the menu.

[@mjlim6610]

@@Jumpoable Not sure why you seem to be getting so defensive here. There are many Cantonese people in Singapore as well, but you don't find "Singapore Fried Noodles" in Singapore. It would be interesting to figure out when this dish was invented. (As an aside, why would people from Guangzhou be making 'Singaporean Fried Noodles' though, if it's a classic HK dish?)

星洲米 is one of the popular noodle dishes here in Malaysia 大炒 stalls, along with 廣府麵（similar to 滑蛋河, but using 2 different noodles - 伊麵 and 河粉) and 福建麵（fat noodle in black soya sauce). But I don’t taste any curry in 星洲米 here (KL area), instead there is a sourness in it, probably tomato sauce or vinegar?

[@philchia4764]

Curry from SG-Tamil influence.

[@egali34]

prob from the lime juice, they usually give u limes at the side so u can add them yourself but some just add them in while cooking, and yes maybe tomato sauce instead of curry powder

So while we're on the subject of Singaporean cuisine, you guys wouldn't happen to know how to make Singaporean Chili Crab (including the sweet bread) from scratch would you? That's be an awesome video.

[@KopiOkaya]

I am a Singaporean. The problem with preparing Singapore Chili Crab is fresh and live Sri Lankan crab, which is not widely and readily available in the US. Unfortunately, this dish cannot substitute with Alaskan Snow Crab, which is commonly available in the US.

[@Jumpoable]

The Laus aren't Singaporean. This channel documents CANTONESE/ HONG KONG dishes.

[@BennettRedacted]

@@KopiOkaya My parents are actually Singaporean and certainly Sri Lankan crab wouldn't even remotely be in question, unless there is some flash freezing seafood importer that I don't know of. (akin to Musan Wang for Durian) In the vein of having it (but not to a tee) vs never having it, I wonder what exactly about the US crab acts as a barrier to composing the dish properly?

[@jackgnofy2195]

There was a story I heard about how the name Singapore Noodle came from, it was actually a Hong Kong chef visited a Singapore restaurant in the 60s, as the time was quite late and the restaurant had ran out of normal ingredients in his normal menu, he then picked up all the remaining ingredients in his kitchen and came out with this dish. The Hong Kong chef was amazed by the dish and later brought it back to Hong Kong and named it as Singapore Noddles.

[@lolalim4932]

I'm from Malaysia, northern neighbour to Singapore. Here, we have Xin Zhow Mai Fun / Singapore Vermicelli also using curry powder. And because we have fresh ingredients, a bit of curry leaves are added in to give that extra aroma. Here, there is another variant of Singapore Vermicelli that uses tomato ketchup to replace the curry powder. This variant tastes slightly sweet sour and taste great too.

[@claralee2618]

I love Chef Lau’s videos. I love to cook and I was brought up by my Cantonese grandma so I can literally “taste” the food in my mouth when I watch these videos. I especially love the techniques. One thing I’d like to say though without disrespect, I noticed the cutting board was used to cut raw chicken and then char siu which Randy then ate (I would have loved to try a slice!). Perhaps best be careful about cutting raw and cooked meats on the same cutting board.

[@jadahill5216]

Also care should be taken not to placed the cooked egg back in the same dish the raw egg was in without cleaning it. And the same can be said for the cooked chicken and shrimp being placed in the bowl the raw chicken was in. The recipe looks delicious

Although it's been already mentioned before, I find it interesting that there are different versions of Singapore noodles. I remember eating Singapore noodles in various cities in Europe during my travels. And each iteration was different! So, it's become a purely interpretive dish throughout the world depending on who makes it and what they think the "Singapore" in Singapore noodles means. 😅

Thank you, Daddy Lau. I cooked this successfully for the first time. So glad you are sharing your cooking skills.

[@snowballbear905]

I'm from Singapore. Never knew there is such a thing called Singapore noodles.

[@meenam4982]

According to Natasha Pack, a food journalist at the South China Morning Post, Singapore noodles were created in the 1950s or ’60s by chefs in Hong Kong who may have used the name in order to add panache to their stir-fried noodle dishes. And since Hong Kong was then a British colony and a booming trading hub, spice powders and curries from the previously British-ruled India were readily available, prompting the cooks to use these ingredients in their dishes.

[@JGnuff]

Awesome way to document and maintain the time your dad has put into perfecting his profession! I am glad I randomly came across the channel.

[@kbl8287]

Just out of interest. I noticed the cooked meat was cut using the same chopping board and knife that was used to cut the raw chicken. Would the Char Sui not need to be heated before it is safe to eat as I noticed you tried a piece?

I grew up eating this a lot as a Chinese-American (she is fuzhounese; dad is canto, both from Vietnam though)! Did not know this was called Singapore Noodles either, so the history lesson was really interesting! My mom used to make variations of this without any curry, so I was not aware it was an ingredient in the "real" version! She'd normally use oyster sauce with soy sauce. She'd also not boil the vermicelli but rather just soak it for a couple minutes in near-boiling water in a bowl. With the eggs, we'd make extremely thin pancake-like shapes (to where you don't have to flip them; the heat will cook through to the top) and then finely chop them up (which makes the process take even longer). I hope to make this again soon since it's been a while. Thanks for sharing this!

[@SL-lz9jr]

There are so many Chinese dishes that use similar ingredients. It’s possible you’re describing a different dish because the egg you described sounds familiar. I’ve seen it in a few Chinese dishes. I miss Chinese food. I live far from family so I don’t get a lot of home cooking

Wonderful Videos, Randy! I love the intro segments of Chef Lau playing the Flute. Such wonderful recipes, made simple to understand! I have been cooking asian foods for some time and am BINGE watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your wonderful culture, Beautiful Language, and exquisite recipes!

I second a lot of the viewpoints expressed that show appreciation for your dad... I just wanted to add that your mum is also a sweetheart-superhero in how she’s lovingly chopstick-feeding your little son in the video. He looks a little bit older than my own son (8 months now) and how I wish this pandemic wasn’t around so he can meet his grandparents 😢 I can only imagine they’d have loved on him just as your mum is doing in the video 💕 you have such a wonderful family. Thanks for capturing and sharing 🥰 Edit: just got to the part about his birthday! 😆 Happy Birthday! 🥳

It sounds like your parents have passed on?

Thank you so very much, this is my favourit dish and I’ve been wanting to learn how to make it for such a long time. This has been the best video that I’ve come across so far as your explaining every little bit. You’re an excellent teacher. I’m looking forward to making this myself.

My husband is from HK and he is very excited about this recipe. I’m so happy I found your channel and I’ve been watching a lot of your back videos. Getting many ideas for dinners to make and hoping I can also improve my Cantonese

Beautiful dish, I love Singapore noodles! I wish my dad was still around. He was a great cook and would have loved this channel!

Your dad reminds me of my late cantonese grandmother. Similar cooking style and tips despite not being a trained pro chef. I honour her and my cultural heritage by preparing daily meals using her methods and my trusty carbon steel wok and multi-tiered steamer. Thanks for sharing. Gem of a channel.

I can't thank the Lau family enough. My results were perfect, first try. I urge viewers to follow Dad's skillful instructions exactly. I have a professional wok & burner, (iron wok not teflon) so the only difference was the heat had to be brought up to maximum (after the noodles were browned on the bottom as directed), to avoid sticking. With maximum heat they must be kept in constant motion for less time. I could not get this dish to work until Dad showed me how it's done. Thanks again for all the details. I'm thrilled !

I'm really glad I found your channel, I've been looking into learning to make some Chinese dishes with my mom and embracing my heritage a little more, and this channel really helps take it another level further! Can't wait to try some of these recipes out soon!
