[@khanhquach1924]

Bon Appetit, you've hit a goldmine with Lucas on all fronts. The food he reviews are your 'everyday meals' accessible to most people and the second and most important aspect of these short videos, is Lucas himself. Enough is said in the comments why Lucas is a legend.

He’s a great ambassador for Cantonese culture and cuisine

[@ritzbrecio]

Yea, he singlehandedly whitewashing corporate r@clsm. Cheers 🥂

[@winningwinny51]

I watch BA for this now, which is bitter sweet

[@Hugh_Jassle]

Kudos to the editor for not using any music.

[@alistergoh9744]

i usually have videos play at higher speeds to get over some annoying hosts and to drown out the music. this video made me go down to original speed and before i knew it, it was over

[@bkcalvine]

Kudos for Lucas for not really letting the chefs talk much

[@chillywinterz]

So glad we have someone who can articulate asian cuisine with no gimmicks, but with pure enthusiasm. Honouring each restaurant and their chefs with the respect they deserve. Never thought clay pot rice or roast goose would ever get their shine in this way.

[@AN0NYM0US109]

0:04 - Captions say Shenzhen, but it's Sham Tseng (深井) in Hong Kong.

[@Cyrribrae]

That confused me too. They do it again at the end.

[@sushicakez]

I thought the same thing, Shenzen is China not Hong Kong

[@frostyhamster3116]

@@sushicakezwhat is Hong Kong then if not china

[@chocoluvluv]

@@frostyhamster3116everyone knows yes HK is now part of China but in any ways it’s difference, like she retained more original Han culture than any other places of China.

[@jamzy9]

@@chocoluvluv insane take

[@lokman8584]

No one explains cantonese food as passionate, meticulous and knowledgeable as Lucas does.

[@wed3k]

Cantonese food is simple yet needs to be perfected in order for it to be delicious otherwise just describing the ingredients will sound bland or boring.

[@li_tsz_fung]

@@wed3k Most traditional food are not simple. It takes days to prepare. We're just so used to having it everywhere. I don't know if that's the same in the west. I think a lot of dishes take way longer time to prepare then people realize (Unless it's pre-packaged, which also could possibly be a complicated process instead of what some people think "just a mix of chemicals")

[@greenhat7618]

⁠@@li_tsz_fungI think by simple he means the dishes are not heavily seasoned but rather is prepared in a way that accentuates the natural flavour of the ingredients.

[@WhereThuEat]

Chef Lucas is one heck of a host. Keep ‘em coming of this series please!

[@IamnotJokic]

Chinese butchers don’t get the respect that they deserve. To be able to wield a cleaver with so much precision and dexterity is so impressive.

[@chetk8610]

Compared to other foodies, he knows his stuff. The others just fake it and read off a script. Lucas is truly in his element.

[@li_tsz_fung]

I don't like calling everyone who talks about food a foodie. It's like saying Gordon Ramsey. I've never been to his restaurants. I don't know if he's overrated. But still, those people cook more than they eat and talk. They're not just commentating in the perspective of a consumer.

[@fanwee5048]

Idk how BA is not on their knees every day thanking Lucas

[@00bitterness]

The fact that a Yale Graduate turned Chef explainig all these traditional everyday meal just elevates the whole thing to another level

[@CoopDelux]

Lucas is why I watch this channel, hes has such a wealth of knowledge

[@jondoeami]

I hope to see 1000 more episodes of this Hong Kong series with Chef Lucas

[@chrisgreen6259]

Lucas is a master of taste - watching him describe food, cooking and culture is a joy!

[@ValerieandDanielle]

I hope to continue to see Lucas speak so highly of cantonese dishes. I love his videos! His passion for the food and his culture is so evident and it's so touching to see, as a fellow cantonese person!

[@TheMrWaby]

If he isn't already, Lucas is most certainly becoming the favorite Son of Hong Kong when it comes to food.

[@McCulleyJr]

My wife was born and raised in Hong Kong so I've had the roasted goose many times, the best meals ever!

[@JohnAdamsJohnakaRED]

Very much enjoy Lucas" videos of places I unfortunately won't ever get to visit. To see the preparation by these seemingly humble masters, is amazing. Also Lucas" reverence for the whole process, he's like a very happy boy. Look forward to the next video!

[@jasonwong4448]

Im not a food expert but I know when a person is passionate or not. Give Lucas his flowers. I want more video of him.

Without a doubt, this was my favorite roast goose restaurant when I lived in HK.

[@ArielK1987]

If only more people knew about Roasted Goose like they do with Peking duck. Then we can have it at our Chinese Restaurant. All over the world.

[@PennyMsElite]

How is the taste?

[@aoo2645]

@@PennyMsEliteI believe goose is the best tasting bird.

[@morganchan2465]

Sorry to say ~ but It is different ~The marinate, the texture of the skin and how is serve is totally different

[@bhuang188]

The goose in the US aren’t suited for roasting too lean

[@yuetkukoihoje]

Up to my knowledge, most of the Chinese/Cantonese cuisine restaurants in US & Canada only carry roasted duck or Peking duck. Of course, nowadays some of them will have roasted goose to serve but only for reserved order.

[@adamdanks18]

I truly look forward to every video with Lucas!! So knowledgeable and you can tell he’s passionate about the food

[@sksk270]

Dang, Chef Lucas is one of the luckiest guys in the world - Having the opportunity to bite into that whole leg of crispy goose, doesn't get any better than that.

[@jackjhmc820]

EXTRAORDINARY! Most people in Hong Kong like myself have no idea the intricate details and how many steps they had taken to cook them.

[@justarandomperson4237]

You can feel lucas passion and love for food when he speaks. I love it.

[@nic.trades]

Lucas has such great explanations for everything he presents 👌🏽

[@benjaminmichaels1759]

I love Lucas narrating as the dude is phisting the spices up the goose's wide end.

[@Blinknone]

Never been a fan of duck or goose, but I can appreciate the skill and tradition involved here..

[@dwaynekoblitz6032]

Our family ate roasted Goose back a long time ago for Christmas dinner. After my grandmother passed, it stopped and went to Oyster stew. Which is still the traditional meal for Christmas dinner.

[@freezi7919]

I used to live in Sham Tseung.Beautiful place,especially the seaside.

[@oussisaho208]

Holy moly, I can taste it almost

[@whomakesthelaw]

Roast goose also popular in parts of Germany, where I grew up - must try this HK style when I get the chance!

Just going to echo the other top comment that Lucas is an absolute bro, simplifying and contextualizing all of HK (and broader Asia's) foods. Really rare to find someone like this and hope he creates even more content.

No, you must first show me your judo throw.
