Not gonna lie when Daddy Lau took the plate out without a rag I was immediately humbled by the iron hands.

[@tonys8823]

Thanks so much for the video!!! Just wanna call out there's some differences between the "cold water" and the "warm water" lobsters you can find at a Costco, and the cold water ones are probably a better choice for cooking this dish!

What a great chef you are Mr Lau! 👍👍👍

Loved the video....thanks for sharing....

[@60Airflyte]

This reminds me of the lobster served on crystal noodles served at Tommy Toy’s in San Francisco in the 80s and 90s. I loved that dish but moved away and could only dream about it. I think I’ll make this for NYE or day. I also miss their coconut soup with puff pastry. I miss the fancy Chinese food from back in the day.

[@mashimaro2626]

Looks delicious 🤤

[@cindytrinh5608]

Mr. Chef Lau taught me quite a bit. No wonder my lobster didn't taste like the ones from the Chinese restaurant. I didn't add any corn starch to hold the ingredients together. Thank you, Mr. Lau!!!
