Hi, I’m also a British Chinese chef, and a big applause on the to wash or not to wash your meats. And OMG, I have spent so much time explaining the science of not washing and spread of bacteria to Asians. It seems East Asians have no understanding of UK and Eu animal husbandry and cold chain process. Having worked in Asia, the rules here are stringent and reliable.
I am so glad you mentioned 安全生產環境, you can buy a whole fresh chicken for £3 at most supermarkets. Poor chicken was born and raised in a barn, never been outside. On the other hand, free range chicken is about £10 each. I can't tell people what to do but maybe we can spare a thought on animal welfare.
Awwww.... thanks so much for the tips, Catharine!! ^^ It may seem like common sense but coming from an expert like you, it just makes so much more sense haha... really jealous of you getting nice & affordable steaks... the same stuff costs like double in Canada!!
@@BackpaCooking Good question!! Well, I live in Vancouver and I am pretty sure our authentic cuisines (Korean/Japanese/French/Italian/Chinese) probably cost a lot less than in UK?? On average, not including liquor, avg. cost per person would be around CAD$25-35 for really decent meals!! As for fine dining... maybe CAD$75-100 for each person including a couple glasses of wine!! I haven't been back to HK for years and I am 100% sure we have better value when it comes to fancy dineouts!!
@@BackpaCooking : Yes, do a video blog about the different potatoes in the UK.... ^^.... I am also curious too. I am not great at cooking potatoes, but boy... I have once tried an Irish man's potatoes, and he cooked it SO well ! I almost fell off my chair. Just sea salt, and nice young jersey royal potatoes. (With hot butter, which is basically cream.)
