Welcome to the Midnight Kitchen family! Join my channel for cooking and baking tips, recipe-less approaches, with hints of food science! We will explore the up-and-coming restaurants, must-eat- trendy hotspots, - and try recreating them at home with a reasonable budget.
The Midnight Kitchen concept was born in 2009- the year I started graduate school in the middle-of-nowhere NY. Dinners were prepared post midnight- the time when I had a few hours to destress from my overworked and stressed state. Cooking was a necessity and how I grew closer to my Chinese roots. It slowly morphed into the strong passion I have today, and so much more - an appreciation for diversity, diverse cultures and flavor profiles, cooking techniques, and the science of cooking. As a scientist by day, I am curious about unusual flavor pairings, mashups of techniques and cuisine types. It's ultimately about what taste and smells great- and looks appetizing too.
the third place got their recipe from the original stall owners. The original owners sold out. just before the pandemic. They ran a HK style noodle, rice roll and zong shop. The rice roll style is more similar to what you will find in HK dim sum shops, since the original owners showed them that. As for the first place. I think its the batch of meat you got. When I went with my SO, we got their beef rice roll. It was quite good.
The best pizza in the state is Cloverleaf Tavern in Tacoma. If you have not tried it, you owe it to yourself to go have a pizza there might go to is always pepperoni and sausage.
I went to the Hello Nori in Richmond, I love the rolls and I also got the Salmon Oshi, that’s also delicious. 2 other restaurants I like on Robson are Saku and Ramen Danbo. The Ramen Danbo there tastes better than the Seattle location.
Wow, I never thought of trying to make these at home. Would definitely be interesting to try it. Thank you! Btw, you got a new subscriber from Malaysia.👍
Thanks for the support :) I’ve made a video on how to do this at home. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AXs7XOx5BrI.htmlsi=AcsUfd4fYAdSGXGj
I really like the style of your vlogs where you speak authentic Cantonese describing names of the food, taste and texture. It’s a good balance of Hong Kong and Western vibe added to the vlog makes it easier to understand for someone who is not too familiar with Hong Kong / Cantonese foods. For audience who is looking for good food and new places to eat you have incorporated in the video.
I'm sorry but IMO you went to 2 of the worst cha chaan tengs in the area. I've been to both and there are waaay better ones around. I don't know if you've tried these yet but I would recommend Happy Day Cafe by the Walmart Center and Van Tea Cafe on Capstan Way. Both are usually very busy so you'll have to wait if you go during peak hours.
western lake chinese seafood restaurant is best dim sum place in vancouver.. cheaper than the others and better too ! ... good videos .thanks for sharin eh
How was the seasoning of the rice at each spot? I tend to like my sushi rice fairly well seasoned (like at Genki if you've been there). Ive found that buffet type places tend to have very bland rice.
FOB Sushi was seasoned, but several pieces were on the over-acidic side (I think it’s a consistency issue). The fish and all toppings were great. I love sushi had the best rice flavor (and seasoning). Katsu-ya had good flavor but the rice texture and grain type not as good as I love sushi.
Thanks for your support and feedback. I’ll try to include parking tips for upcoming videos. For the spots mentioned in this video, we circled around the lot until we found something. I suggest going off hours if possible (depending on the place), and park farther out if it’s an outdoor restaurant.
You haven't had good dim sum until you go to Toronto and have theirs. Blows all the Richmond and Vancouver dim sum places out of the water and costs half the price. Check out Yu Seafood and you'll see what I mean. BC dim sum is a waste of money.
