I love the fact that he so graciously acknowledged his father's skill and dedication, even humbling himself by admitting that his still can't compare to his father's shumai... great video.

Mr. Chu is very eloquent when he speaks, you can sense his passion during the whole interview. Can’t wait to give his hand made Siu Mai a try!

@Haywood Shum, I agree with your remarks. He’s very eloquent and clearly expresses great respect for Old Chu (his father).

his voice is so soothing and he really speaks so well, like he doesn't use a lot of filler words, and the vocab he uses is so proper. i feel like he could be a textbook audiobook narrator.

The chef is a lovely man. he seems very passionate

i admire how he says how he can't make it the same way his father did. Some people are every adamant that their flavours are same throughout generation. However food quality, equipment, etc. and of course the chef always changes. That's what makes mom n pop food so special. What an eloquent and kind man.

it's because he grew up eating his fathers food and it has a special place for him. What he's forgetting is that a new generation is growing up appreciating his cooking.

Shao Mai or Siu Mai is one of the most delicious dim sum. Love the story on the chef's respect to his father's craft!

I miss Hong Kong so much. Will be so happy when I can visit again. A foodie’s paradise!

I love hearing the guy talk. I grew up in Hawaii and I spoke regular American English at home, in fact since my father was an English major at an Ivy League, it was a very pure sort of English, and outside, outdoors, I spoke Hawaiian "Pidgin" a lot of the time and although it's not a tonal language it is very "sing-song" because while tones don't change meaning, there are tones you always use or it's not pidgin. And it was invented by Chinese immigrants to the US/Hawaii in the 1880's or so. This is a little-known part of history, how large a role Chinese played in Hawaii.

You can just hear how much this guy loves his dad.

Ah yes, one of the things that make me proud to be a cantonese

I agree with you hhh

Love how he spoke of his father with so much love ... His father's looking down must be so proud . He takes so much pride in his food . I wish to taste his food but I'm so far away .. in the US.

What a tremendous legacy his beloved father left him, and the world of lucky consumers of his special shumai.

wow truly one of the most underrated channels. thank you for the insightful documentary style videos on cantonese culture - keep on doing them!!!

Old school....grind and effort. Respect.

Loving this series for real, appreciate you sharing these stalls that I would’ve never heard of being in the UK

Definitely one of my favorites to eat! Thank you for sharing this story. Best wishes and blessings to everyone. Please be kind to others and spread sum joy.

His honesty shows he is very genuine. The dim sum looks great 10/10 would eat

I love this stuff! It’s so tasty and easy to eat.

I’m hooked on this HK videos. I wish I was there to try all these places!

Love these episodes.

oh this is making me miss my hometown... I'm Peruvian and tusán, i used to eat siumai every time i went to the chifa (Cantonese-Peruvian food) or to the Barrio Chino, but here in Mexico is more difficult to find... I've been slowly learning to cook chifa and siumai is on my list to get right

I lived in HK during my teen years and siu mai, cheung fan & fishballs were my favourite food!! I have tried them in chinatown in london but they aren't as good as back in HK. Can't wait to visit HK again when this pandemic goes away...

My favorite dim sum and one of the best dishes period.

Very good and funny videos bring a great sense of entertainment!

Goldthread...... your food videos are addicting!

Siu Mai is my go-to lunch when i was young. Cheap, easy to eat, ready made and most importantly delicious

Beautiful story

Ah.. my childhood memories of the food in Hong Kong.

Fav dim sum of all time. Although I’m partial to the shrimp and pork kind!

I love this stuff... my favorite! I'm about to order some for delivery. Hahaha... sooo good.

Yummy I love shumai

I grew up eating canto/ Hong Kong food at home and at restaurants. Gotta say, Siu Mai is one of the kings

I know that many Indonesian dishes are influenced by Chinese. Siu mai/shao mai is one of my favorite foods, and in Indonesia we call it 'siomay' or 'somay'

Síu Mại in Vietnam is just the steamed meatball mixed with fungus, very simple but delicious as hell. The most fantastic combo i alsolutely can imagine now is a huge pan with baguettes + stir-fry beef + scrambled egg + Síu Mại + liver pate and also satay sauce !

Seems really humble 👍

i need to go and get some the next time i visit tsen mun :3

Would love to visit his place

Man, since the pandemic, I haven’t went for brunch (yum cha) since. Oh, I can have a huge tray just about now, especially his , so damn fresh ! Oh man....

I've never tried fish and pork siumai but it's probably any different with shrimp and pork. Man I wish I got to try that when we were there.

I love sui mai

A staple for my family, friends, and I when we go out to eat dim sum...or did. Can’t wait till we can go out again to eat dine in at restaurants; craving Siu Mai Ps: Reading the captions is a little difficult when it’s white text with no background.

Ah yes siomai rice; the best lunch for a student on a budget. I miss these so much, but there aren't any restaurants that serve it in my district :(

Wuhan has shumai too! but it looks and tastes very different! and damn I'm hungry just thinking about it

That looks tasty

Shumai. 😍😍

Indonesian style enjoyed with peanut sauce and some kind of citrus juice (jeruk limo). For the filling we usually use king mackarel fish (tenggiri) or shrimp.
