[@MrSexyaznboi]

I had a lot of fun meeting everyone! Sorry Vanessa for catfishing with my wontons. I'll use a proper broth next time!

[@LevitateStyle]

Bro I liked your wontons haha you put in the effort for sure

[@PaigeCooks]

@@LevitateStyle you got roasted for nothing I feel for you bro

[@LevitateStyle]

@@PaigeCooks hahahaa I can take it

[@LevitateStyle]

@@PaigeCooks 🍗🍖

[@MartinYang]

Should have cooked them on site so they didn't dry out

[@ScarletLRose]

Vanessa really just made a dish out of Leo with her truth bombs. She cut him up, salted the cuts, fried him up and served him.

[@TL-pk2gh]

😂😂😂

[@LevitateStyle]

🤣🤣🤣 she was right tho

[@ScarletLRose]

@@LevitateStyle wait holy crap you're a legit person?

[@YvanCarmel]

Brooo 🤣🤣

[@PaLuck]

Chinese food regional as heck tho, not everyone will make what her grandma does.

[@amandalew3581]

I like how the guys were more supportive and into each other than towards their potential date lol

[@NeoAxiom]

for real

[@NestyAngel]

This is how guys role who are true to themselves. Always bromance haha

[@davidhuang5042]

The bois

[@shoryuken3305]

guys who live with honor dont have to cut each other down but instead prop each other up

[@Tyshkevich]

Because it's always bros before hoes. Any man who let's a women bring out the nasty in them doesn't deserve the friends or the woman.

[@Jordan-he4ry]

Damn even after Leo’s turn was over, she didn’t stop roasting him

[@gracehall3103]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@Umeshukitsune]

You should watch the African version where they made rice, the roasts were well-deserved. He served up rice with corn and acted like a winner.

[@jasonford6595]

Omg she's so brutal but I love how everyone doesn't take it personally

[@PokhrajRoy.]

The best part of the Leo is that he’s so funny and a great sport.

[@LevitateStyle]

🤣🤣🤣

[@afroman527]

I agree. I'm glad he didn't take any of her comments too seriously and he was able to laugh it off. He seems like a chill guy. Maybe she has and attractive friend that she could introduce to him?? Lol

[@tomyjf]

It was so fun shooting with everybody!! Thanks for having me 🥺

[@y2m3e.45]

Your dish looked goood. You said you work in the food industry and it shows

[@amandalew3581]

Ngl even I wanna eat it lol. Mapo tofu is my fav.

[@krystallowe1810]

Please make a recipe video of your mapo tofu! Looked so good! :) you put so much thought into it too….even having a cooling side salad 🥺

[@stephaniezimbalist3757]

@@krystallowe1810 I would love for him to do that. I would definitely watch the video and cook it.

good soup

[@andylee]

Lol she said she didn't like how he threw everything together for the fried rice. But isn't that what fried rice is? Throwing all the left over meat and veggies into a dish? Haha

[@kayleyjo]

Yo. Fried rice is like the nachos of China. It's a side dish or something you get as a street snack after clubbing. 😃

[@yang3625]

Well, yes and no, you still want the flavor and texture to be balanced, not every veggie fits well in fried rice, and some meat&veggie combo just doesn't work well.

[@KpopLover4Ever]

@@kayleyjo Side dish? A fried rice is literally a main dish that stands on its own. Like...you wouldn't call spaghetti and meatballs a side dish, would you? When you sit down at restaurant, spaghetti and meatballs is gonna be in the main course/entrée section, not the appetizer/sides section. Same for a fried rice dish. Ain't NOBODY calling it a side dish bruh. PS: The most common and popular Chinese street food items are skewers, that's the go-to...not exactly a fried rice. Ain't nobody is like "Let's go to the night market for some fried rice!"

[@KpopLover4Ever]

Well, like Yang said, it's a yes and no. Yeah you can throw whatever you want in a fried rice; there's a lot of room for mix and matching, but you want the flavors to work in harmony. Just like how you can make a sandwich with different combinations of meats, veggies, and cheese but that doesn't mean any random concoction you come up with is gonna end up tasty.

[@sydandtaytum]

@@KpopLover4Ever lol would you call bread a main dish? fried rice is the bread that is to be eaten with the MAIN DISHES. at least, it is that way in true chinese food. american chinese food- i guess you can eat fried rice as a dish. i aint doing it though.

[@LevitateStyle]

Thanks for having me! This was fun hahaha my “cooking” is fast efficient and healthy

[@kayleighselina.3152]

That's the best way to be Leo. Good job!!!!!

Tom has a lot of self awareness and is pretty confident and most important knows how to present himself and does respect the work from somebody else.

[@duca1634]

love the chemistry between those three

[@livedeliciously]

You can tell Tom wasn't messing around because of those food prep containers. You usually see those in the hands of more serious chefs.

[@jennifera9071]

Leo’s laugh was everything during the verdict lol

[@Nacolamoon]

Tom is giving me Asian Bruno Mars vibes, yeeeeaaah he's pretty freaking & effortlessly good looking & so was his food, I want a plate!!! Lolz

you guys should make the person picking a date cook a dish for the contestants as well

[@thecunninlynguist]

Theses are always fun

Sis is just too savage 😂

He definitely asked questions to make her talk like that Korean girl who analyzed the personalities.

[@OverHaluyu]

Tbh she's on point

[@aishwarialavania8332]

"i just want her to say 'GOOD SOUP' " 😂💀

[@SeudXe]

You guys should have her try to cook her best dish and have all the guys try it and also rate her personality back.

[@venusiangirl]

That’s not why she’s here for.

[@sportsonwheelss]

The guy that made the rice was like, let's not have this date. We'll go to have some wonton.

There's always exceptions but Chinese people tend to be more blunt. Watch if you are the one.

Exactly lmao, plus really limited to her knowledge of regional Chinese food. It's diverse as hell.

Leo is so cute, her loss 🤦‍♂️

[@2ko49]

Another video of the brothers holding each other up and having a good time. Not like the first Chinese Dish Date video where the girls pretty much attacked the guy for critiquing the dishes like he was asked to.

[@Umeshukitsune]

Thing was his critique was unfounded and he lacked basic knowledge on Chinese food, e.g., not knowing fried rice is traditional, never eating red bean. I'm not a fan of the girl's personality but she gave valid critques. When I saw the miso soup base I knew it wasn't going to be good.

[@luf4rall]

That dude just sounded so ignorant of Chinese food especially since he said that his parents ran a Chinese restaurant

[@animesongsluv]

She is good at roasting

[@hedgehog2565]

zekun boiled not once but trice HAHAHAHA ! ! !

[@mariahcanizales]

Leo can come cook over here 😂

[@Chow0012]

Does anyone know the name of the background that plays at the end of the video starting at 9:25 please?

[@golodopra4755]

leos got everyones back

[@josiah566]

There's so much culturally authentic food content for Chinese food out there (Chinese Cooking Demystified, Made With Lau, Jimmy O Yang's KZbin) that we Chinese North Americans have almost no excuse to present something inauthentic - pick a KZbin recipe that you feel comfortable, copy it, don't skip steps, google substitutes. Given we have these resources, what shows on the plate is mainly a lack of effort or connection with the culture.
