The largest population of Chinese are in Taiwan followed by NYC. How can you tell tea is amazing while it is still blistering your mouth and scalding the taste buds? There is no bean curd inside a bean curd wrap. The wrap is made of bean curd into a noodle like consistency.. Sheeeeeeesh!

Chinese food is one of the most popular cuisines in the world. It is known for its diverse flavors, use of fresh ingredients, and emphasis on balance and harmony in each dish. From spicy Sichuan dishes to delicate Cantonese dim sum, Chinese cuisine offers a wide range of options for any palate. Additionally, many Chinese dishes have a long history and cultural significance, making them not only delicious but also rich in tradition. Whether enjoyed at a local restaurant or cooked at home, Chinese food is sure to satisfy

Sam Woo's is great too. A smaller restaurant though and no dim sum
@francisadams-u9l9 ай бұрын
Sam Woo's is a place of pilgrimage. I like how you go through the kitchen to get into the restaurant. It is so surreal. Not sure what to make of that Feng Shui setting. In any case, Sam Woo's is a party place. Can't get enough of it.

The Egg Tarts (Pastéis de Nata) are actually from Macau, a former Portuguese Colony near Hong Kong and were introduced to the Chinese by the Portuguese. You can still find the egg tarts in Portugal and Brazil as well. Remnant of the Portuguese Empire!

The dragon show is so cool, man! We have a Chinatown here in Chicago, and it's one of my favorite places to visit. Love seeing all of the culture and artwork there. There are so many options on that first menu, it would probably take me forever to decide what I wanted! Looks like you made some awesome choices. The rice noodle roll looks and sounds outstanding, and so does the skin roll. I've never had egg custard, let alone in a tart, but I've heard lots of great things about it. I love fortune cookies, though, and I know I would lose my mind if I had that big one! My stomach literally started growling the moment I saw the honey walnut prawns. Haha, I think I need to go eat dinner! 😂 Great video as always, and I'm looking forward to the rest of your California adventure!

The Old Chinatown in Manhattan and the New Chinatown in Brooklyn. Don’t need google, just look around and see for yourself. Been to Shanghai, China. The shopping for Chinese items and for Chinese food is even better in NY than in Shanghai. Go figure. Enjoy your videos. 😊

@francisadams-u9l9 ай бұрын
S.F Chinatown for me is such a comfortable place to be. I have been all over the Chinese speaking world. But the world of S.F Chinatown is like no other. It is like a whole different planet. I know the places you've been to in your video. I go there many times. I always have good conversations with the older generation. They have a brilliant sense of humor. I like when they get sarcastic. They are so hilarious. If you ever get to know anybody of the older generation, go to their favorite Dim Sum restaurant. The men are easy going. But, the grandmas pounce on the basket trolly that just came out of the kitchen. DON'T GET IN THEIR WAY. I have seen fights break out. Not too bad. But hilarious. If you ever go to Dublin, California, go to the Willow Tree. There is a Shrimp and Walnut dish that is out of this world. I don't know what they do to the walnuts, they are not crunchy. They are fluffy and airy inside. The mix of the Shrimp and Airy walnuts are like you have gone to Heaven. I am not sure how they make the walnuts that way. I am still experimenting. Also, Fire Cracker soup. My favorite. I am still experimenting with the way they make the rice for the soup. If you haven't tried it, do so. You will fall in love with that soup.

One thing I was told about food (No matter where you go), DON'T ASK TOO MANY QUESTIONS. I have seen how foods are made all over the world. Yes, if it says Pork and Shrimp dish. YEEAH, just shut up, eat, and let the fantasy of pork and shrimp take over. Thus, advise, always let the placebo effect of pork and shrimp make you drift off to the world of fantasy.
