[@Natalie_828]

YOUR DAD IS THE CUTEST. He looks so much like my grandpa I’m so happy I found your channel, unfortunately I can’t even communicate with my grandparents Bc I never learned how to speak Cantonese. I also have been worried that my cousins and I won’t be able to eat the dishes our Grandparents make when they’re gone, I’ve always wanted to record them cooking to be able to preserve our culture so I love that you do this for these younger generations of Chinese Americans that came from our Chinese immigrant grandparents 👏🏼👏🏼

[@cherylcraven2884]

Thank you! My husband will be a happy man now. Love your videos. You Dad is a perfect teacher!!!

[@jayf4612]

I first watched your channel about a year back. My dad had his restaurant along with grandma back in the early 60s in to the mid 1980s. I really appreciate all the recipes your dad has presented over this channel. It's jogged some of my memories of what my dad and grandma used to cook. I wasn't able to memorize in great detail all their recipes...so your channel has been a great supplemental godsend so to speak.

[@G_R9143]

Much thanks to you & of course Your father. For the share of Recipes 🙏🥩🫕

[@ChristianLeeTri]

My Chinese grandfather owned or cooked in Cantonese restaurants his entire life, until he retired and moved-in with us in the early 70s (before I was born). I grew up with him living in our house, and he would always cook amazing Sunday night dinners. Watching your dad cook reminds me a lot of great childhood memories with my Grandfather in the kitchen (he spoke little English, despite living in Canada for 60+ years). Love the videos...keep it up.

[@kiltedcripple]

Master Lau demonstrating the "asbestos fingers" that all professional cooks develop. If you abuse your hands long enough, they become scary tough. I'm getting there enough to intimidate my kids, but I'm no where near that pro cook, "grab a sheet pan straight from the oven" level.

[@GlobularGenocide]

劉師父。解釋詳盡。易學易明。賞心悅目。尚未欣賞先給like.。

[@dennislee--529]

In the Philippines, we also have Chinese Char Siu here. We call that 'Asado' in Filipino which is a Spanish Loanword for 'grilled'. A very delectable dish. 🙂

[@nervousbabbs2769]

Daddy Lau really does explain everything so freaking well! I never thought about the letting it marinate at room temp it really would absorb more flavor like that and the fork holes are genius

[@Tanger68]

Your Dad is an absolute gem, what a funny guy! Love the channel!

[@cindywong7702]

多谢刘爸爸的家庭厨艺😊

[@MadeWithLau]

[@maryh99]

Char siu is one of my favorite things. I need to try making it your way. Thank you!

[@dougchinn2820]

It's so easy. You won't buy it from the store ever again. Don't forget the glaze at the end.

[@stevennewman4778]

I’ve made this recipe several times. It’s addictive.

[@minhty75]

I like to try Char siu pork one day 😊. Thanks for sharing.

[@midnitexstar]

I want to know what it's like to live with a dad like that.... food sorted for your life!!

[@emb_c2271]

You and your dad are really cool I love the way you do it and I love his recipes and I love the way you present it so you both win but I think he's got a little Edge on you!

[@32bigdawg86]

[@kathleendinicola9065]

[@BellaMorganLewis]

[@redbeard36]

Wow! I’ve made Caa siu 30 times and thought that was a lot.

[@ShellJing]

劉師傅功夫技術冇得彈！��

[@MadeWithLau]

好多謝您嘅支持！老劉祝福您同家人平安快樂！

[@rho5273]

Very useful tips!

[@namenotneeded6429]

Please do a video on Yong Tau Foo Soup and also the spicy chilli that goes with it. Thank you so much

[@deliadruantia6720]

Awesome videos ; I became a fan today - the information you provide is very interesting ! The recipes are delicious!

[@mamabearC879]

Thank you.

[@margarettse1731]

I love the 精靈baby most besides the cooking shows ！

[@nickclarke587]

Do you not peel the membrane from the bone side of the sheet of ribs?

[@DriftWithMe]

LOL your dad is right put more honey to make more weight to cost more. Never thought of that. Especially when it's cool down it gets hardened up.

[@vincently1995]

How wonderful!

[@giendyporal868]

Sir maybe can u have a channel for tutorial of Cantonese from basic to difficult words

[@CreatingwithWinglessAngel]

I made something very similar for my dad and said he was having pimp my Ramen for dinner. He was very excited and happy 😊

[@TheNely984]

I did the orange 🍊 chicken omg 😳 was sooooooo delicious. I need to try the first recipe for sure.

[@tonytonytonytonytonytonytony]

Please make tofu fa one day! Love your work! Keep crushing it!

[@sarahrnl]

Thanks!

[@MadeWithLau]

You're awesome! Thank you :)

[@FaFa-zh3oh]

Hi, I from the same city at China as your dad, I want to know if your dad know the recipe of 那金卤味. It makes with difference kind of pig intestines. 😊

[@MarySanchez-qk3hp]

Stores that sell "healthy" foods, vitamins, etc. often carry a four-.bottle set of safe food colorings that are made from food extracts, such as turmeric for yellow, raspberry or strawberry for red, etc. You don't need to use artificial food colorings that are coal tar derivatives.

[@mperry9025]

Yumm

[@ReaperUnreal]

Usually takes me a lot more than 2 minutes to poke the meat, really impressive. Ok, but in all seriousness these are solid recipes that aren't TOO hard to replicate.

[@mleeinfo]

Daddy Lau...can you adopt me !!!!....😭😭😭😭

[@TylerWong24]

Would you change the char siu method over a smoker?

[@johnwillemsen6872]

I wonder... Was your dad a better father or a better grandfather? I can see how much he loves you, while he also seems absolutely in love with his grandchild(ren). Lovely 3 generation family. Will we ever see your wife's family, too, like in a big get together? What I've also wondered about: how good is your dad's English? Is it a conscious choices that he doesn't speak English in your videos? (FYI: I adore your channel, your (entire) family and your parents - I absolutely do *not* mean any disrespect!)

[@kennethpetersonjr.6700]

The marinaded for the bbq spare ribs can you use it on the boneless ones?

[@VRUAN]

The sui spear rib looks great. But it won't be authentic without the red color. Can you please tell us where to find the red dye and the brand name of it? Thank you.

[@jamesbrinn9701]

I would like to know do you ever use MSG I like it very much

[@wongkelena]

Perhaps nxt video, daddy lau should teach hw to roast pork (Siew York Shao Rou 烧肉)

[@prettypurple7175]

BRAVO 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

[@clarissanery272]

You’re the best, Chef…I wish you are my relative.

[@Skoben2000]

Char Siu: If I want to made a vegetarian/Vegan version, What would I use instead of pork? Tofu? King Oyster mushroom? Something else? (I don't like seitan).Should I marinate it for the same amount of time, more, or less? Also, would I use the same oven temperature? Should it roast for the same amount of time? Thank you! :)

[@5.0foxbody8]

The wife always gotta talk like she know what she talkin bout the daddy the chef not her Lol

[@chong82]

No wonder my dad said rather to have me born as Char Siu.

[@laurelwoodman3852]

Does your dad have a cookbook that I could buy?

[@PoorMuddyRivers]

Wow, Char Siu is a lot easier than I thought it was. I'm definitely going to be making some before summers end. When lathering, are we flipping the meat completely after the one side and then repeatedly flipping each time or is it life the meat lather and then do the top?

[@reimudou1635]

非常感谢您的支持！老劉祝福您和家人健康快乐！

[@Slinkylinky179]

Is there some sort of cultural reason why these are all considered "bbq"? The first and last I get because they could easily be prepared over fire, but why is salt and pepper pork barbecue? My understanding of the word barbecue is that it is a style of cooking that involves cooking over fire.

[@MarySanchez-qk3hp]

It should be called meat candy.

[@honeybadger7852]

Please narrate, it's too hard to read captions and watch your dad cook

[@mike-ology22]

It would be easier to listen to if you were to translate the videos in English. A lot of writing and foreign language plus watching what your father is doing, is a lot to take in. No offense to your father, he provides us with great lessons and knowledge. Then maybe add some tips in your language from the video we can learn to say and write. So the next time we hear him say it, we can understand him ;)
