My favorite Chinese bakery in Chinatown! But you should have gotten the macadamia nut chews along with the peanut ones for your mom. With that macadamia nut version, you'll really be telling your mom that you love her. Been to the Golden Gate Bakery many, many times. But sorry, I think Sing Cheong Yuan is better. But the gai mei bao at GGB is a winner! Mahalo for this video. Hopefully I'll be home to visit my mom before the end of the year and go to Honolulu's Chinatown.

Thanks for watching this video, Marvin! I got the macadamia candies for my parents, too! They like them more than the peanut ones. Hope you enjoy your next trip to Oahu to see your mom.

Half moon dumpling shown is what my Canto/Toisanese/SzeYip fam calls a fun-gor or steamed giaoji. Definite home dumpling we would make. Grew up using tortilla press to make the dough into round wrappers, and pass to my aunts, poh and mom to fill/crimp.
