Taking My Mom and Dad to GUANGZHOU'S ONLY MICHELIN-STAR DIM SUM 🇨🇳

[@joycey7917]

Thank you very much for this video. I am living in California and I was in guangzhou with my parents, 4 siblings and their families,and my 19 year old daughter in 2000. We were at the White Swan for buffet lunch over looking the Pearl River. In the past 5 years, mom has had a stroke and does not travel now. Dad is in good health but he won’t leave mom (mom is still living at home.). They are 85 years old. This video bought me to tears.

[@dons6556]

Good health to you and family, wish a COMPLETE recovery for your mom! As a cancer survivor in 2nd remission for 4 months, I feel you…seizing the moment, off to a 3 weeks family trip to PRC & ROC. Visiting Taipei, Shanghai, Beijing, Xian, Chongqing, and Chengdu! Merry X’mas

[@yukonzhang3034]

Best wishes to them. ❤

[@ralfliedtke9081]

It is great that your parents are also openly appearing in front of the camera. With the ticket for the restaurant, their example of wisdom in old age, was able to experience what the daughter can not do, the father does. Continued success and health to you.

[@dons6556]

Agree, great dad. Appears to be quiet but always looking after the family

[@susam4991]

I'm enjoying this and so happy and Love to See Your Dad n Mom. Love it and Love You. Still watching 😊

Mom's watching:) Brings back so many memories from when Mom, Dad and I traveled back and forth from Hong Kong to Guangzhou multiple times a year. Really wonderful to watch you guys with Mom and Dad spending time together🥰

Hi Flora and Note! Another awesome video I enjoy so much! This is one of my favorite video because these are memories that will last a lifetime! Spending time with family is so memorable! My Dad passed away when I was in my late 20’s and He loved going to his favorite restaurants as well. Your face expression is priceless Flora, you can see how much you love your parents and how happy you are to be spending time with them. Another great video I enjoy so much because once again I feel like I am traveling with you and your beautiful family. Thank you again for sharing your family with us and the history of Guangzhou. God Bless you and your beautiful family!!! Peace, Love & Light! 🙏💜

Great Video! "Priceless ..just like your daughter." ..Great line Note that was really smooth.😎 Loved seeing Flora’s parents they seem so chill and open to everything.. Guess we know where Flora got that from. Loved the selfie where you can really see your mom and you together…She could really pass for your older sister😀.. Caught your mom and dad holding hands and that was very refreshing to see😘…Great area you are in and that hotel was very top-notched. The architecture all around is very mesmerizing.. Can’t wait to see them in Hong Kong. Flora you are lucky to have such loving parents hope to see more of them in the future..Note as always you do a great job capturing all the sights you folks go to…Your production videos have indeed gone off the charts from someone who has watched from the start:face-purple-wide-eyes:….aloha.

[@yiyangQWERTY]

It was great to end a trip with a family gathering. Glad to see you started the trip in Xinjiang, Central Asia is definitely an underrated travel destination, which have more unique landscapes on this planet waiting for you to explore, such as the Pamir Plateau (in China&Tajikistan) and Mangystau (in Kazakhstan). And you’ve been to so many different regions of China, wilderness and cities, but I would still like to recommend Beijing in autumn, it’s definitely one of the best cities to visit over the world..

Went to Guangzhou with my friend years ago (1995) when everything was so cheap! Yes, the timsum was very good and so many varieties at that time. What are you paying for the timsum wasn’t bad at all! It costs double for what you had in US. By the way, I used the wax thread technique for my hair and it works great 👍 Thanks for sharing ❤

[@WushuTaz]

My plan is to visit China next year. A lot of flights from Thailand have a short layover in Guangzhou. Thanks to your videos I think I'll need to try a few days there first before moving on to Chongqing. Since I live on Koh Samui as well, another option is to fly directly to Hong Kong via Bangkokair first then take a train to Guangzhou. If I may ask, what path did you take to China from Samui?

[@FloraandNote]

We didn’t go from Samui. We travelled from Xinjiang all the way to Guangzhou by train/plane. But getting to Guangzhou from HK is really quick and easy.. probably the better option.

[@WushuTaz]

@@FloraandNote Thank you!

[@stephenho5272]

That price would be considered low for good dim sum in Toronto Canada. The food, service and decor looked top notch 👍

I was hoping to catch a word or two in Cantonese from your mom and dad. Since they lived in Hong Kong before I presume they are Cantonese but exactly which part of Canton? I am about their age.

[@FloraandNote]

They were chatting in Cantonese in the background 😂 They were both born and raised in Hong Kong.

[@711colonel]

I went to the White Swan Hongtu Hall restaurant for dim sum. The food was actually quite bad and over priced.

[@coffeebean3642]

Chinese culture everyone fights to pay for the bill at the counter and tells the cashier not to take his or her money but mine..😂😂😂😂the ones that don’t want to pay usually goes to the toilet when that happens and comes out when the bills settled and pretends to goes up to pay and surprised that it’s all paid 😂😂😂😂

[@Jaredbuncher]

I still don’t understand why China gives a lot of beautiful historical buildings to western brands. It feels like those buildings should be for more important things not damn Starbucks. It’s like DJI getting the cathedral in France, it doesn’t make sense. The buildings are part of the historic heritage of the country.

[@Chinesetiktokdouyin]

There are too many ancient buildings in China with a history of 5,000 years. The buildings rented to Starbucks are not protected buildings.

[@Jaredbuncher]

@ it just feels wrong to us westerners. Starbucks is a mediocre coffee brand in the west, together with KFC and McDonald’s and from what I see, they get priority placement in locations everywhere in China. I don’t get it.

[@Chinesetiktokdouyin]

@@Jaredbuncher Because Starbucks is a global brand

[@Jaredbuncher]

@@Chinesetiktokdouyin “global brand” is clown speak. Nobody takes Starbucks seriously in the west.

[@dons6556]

Nice Dim Sum restaurant, will add to my list. Noted the 2 sets of chopsticks per customer, one for self and another for “public!” An omission on not to share this dining etiquette with the viewers. No exchange of saliva by using public chopsticks in more formal restaurants. Ancient Chinese wisdom that I grew up with, most of the banquet dining I experienced as a child had 2 sets of chopsticks. Actually, one of the cultural SHOCK in America is most of the restaurants only set the table with 1 fork and a knife, most of the time, could be one fork only. Growing up in Hong Kong, almost all the “Western” restaurants had 3 forks, 3 knives, a butter knife, a soup spoon, a coffee spoon, sometimes a pasta spoon, and a seafood utensil as needed. I thought the whole western world is like that. I am not talking about FANCY western style restaurants, even low class ones…🙄 Btw, excellent and warm episode as usual, can’t wait to watch your HK adventure, my childhood HOME!❤
