@@chevyuzi hahaha yeah but sometimes it sounds awkward when you’re speaking one language and then suddenly break into a different accent to pronounce a foreign word. It flows better when you conform the foreign word to the phonology of whatever language you’re speaking.
@@MrDW72 I know right? Usually, I’ll use a spoon to peel off the skins. It’s less wasteful and allows me to peel cleanly across every curve/crevice of the ginger. Edit: Oh, I guess I know why he doesn’t use the spoon method ( ;-; )
The cool and calm thing is that they're adding the commenting after filming the video. It's not constant in-your-face-energy with some chef high on steroids.
He has a super strong accent when ever he say china i roll my eyes no way is the guy cooking the same as the one doing the voice over. I guess you would take after a parent with no way this sounds like a older jewish guy.
I love the history thrown in. I love learning about how foods become a staple or tradition. Also the many failed attempts that become legendary delicacy.
As an unauthentic Chinese, I can mostly make fillings and wrap them, but it is the dough making and rolling them out that stumps me. I still haven’t figured out what composition is in the crystal dumpling skins.
Why is Chef Cheung not more well known on RU-vid?? Best display of skill, technique, and practice to be seen in a LONG while. Thank you, Chef Cheung , for this presentation.
Because everything I see in this video are like the lower 35% tier of what can be found on HK streets/restaurants?????? They are god awful!!! The portions are WRONG..... and the appearance just outright BAD!!!!!🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 I would not pay a dime for any of those!!!!!
@@brakkor1081 I think you are missing the point of the video. This isn’t a what’s on HK street/restaurant video. It’s a ‘how to’ video. And anyone who can break down the techniques in an easy to understand way deserves credit.
Btw would have been nice if YOU didn't start out commenting on things u DON'T know LOL 'Skills' 'Techniques'?????? There are TONS of vids teaching how to make Dim Sum RIGHT... but this clearly AIN'T ONE.... Ur denial made u look like a stubborn FOOL.... Then u trying to swing off to defend this vid is about being 'how to' was another lvl of stupidity😂😂😂 I was telling u everything is DONE WRONG!!! Whats the point of 'how to'!!?? (Which u were still unable to answer to🙄) Good luck with ur mindset in IRL
Why did I get weirdly emotional while watching this lol? He's so calming and informative- I feel like I grew up in that kitchen! Not to mention this was uploaded on my birthday- what a gift!
I like this guy. He not only cooks well, his voice is pleasant. These are dishes I would not necessarily make, even though I am a cooking enthusiast. He makes it look easy.
In Jamaica we make chicken feet curried with a touch of coconut milk and butter beans...or in a savory pumpkin soup with scotch bonnet pepper and dumplings..it feeds a large family a hot filling meal.
what an incredible video. I was immersed every second. i’m going to buy all the ingredients and set up a cooking date with my fiancé and make a dim sum menu! his favorite food is roast pork buns.
Love this video. I want to see more international cuisine with this style of video. I love the Bon Appetit personalities but I really enjoy how focused this video is on what he is cooking.
Beautiful and impressive presentation, while diffusing the intimidation of approaching these exacting techniques. I feel like I can watch Chef Cheung's video a few times then try doing it while following along and actually pull off a reasonable result. That tip was GOLD, about adding a little of the filling to the tart and returning to the oven to prevent a soggy crust. Looking forward to more like this.✨
Mr Cheung great video. You take what is a life long learned skill and break it down so understandably. Not only are you a great chef but also a great teacher. Thank you.
I love the format. Nice to see a Chinese making "authentic" Chinese food. Chef Cheung has a great voice and storytelling abilities. The dishes brought back so many wonderful memories of the Cantonese food I grew up with. Please make more videos for this site.
not exactly authentic way of making the dim sum, like u said "quote authentic", fairly westernized actually! but certainly love the style n format of the video. particularly connecting food with stories and personal experiences....n thank you Chef Cheung for spreading the Cantonese culture 😍
@@jacquelineyiu5995 I’m curious: do you know of any good resources for more authentic or let’s say traditional recipes and methods for making dim sum that are still accessible to an English speaker/reader? I really enjoyed this but I’m always interested in seeing how and where recipes deviate. The deviation isn’t necessarily a bad thing - it’s a bit like American Italian vs European Italian food (and similar to different Chinese cuisines I bet, there is a lot of variation even within Italy alone for some things) - but it’s still always cool to see ‘source material’ and origins!
As a hongkonger, i would say the recipe in this video is not that authentic, but it is understandable that when a dishes travelled to other places, its taste and ingredients will be slightly adjusted according to the environment there. So, the chef is still respectable!! Thank you so much for spreading the Cantonese cuisine!
He needs to learn the basic first. Dimsum itself is hard to master and if he goes around the world doing this kind of video people might think that dimsum is easy or so on. while i appreciate what he did but i'd rather recommend someone who knows the 'Real Dimsum making' rather than this guy in the video. Dimsum is no t just wrapping dumplings It's way more complex than what people are thinking.
This video is helping me get over my Covid no appetite symptom. I have not really been hungry for four weeks...until I watched this video. Wish we had someone locally who made homemade dim sum, everyone uses only frozen.
Great job on this one! However, if you get a traditional Cantonese dim sum chef here he or she’s gonna make most of these in a different way. Especially the chicken feet and shrimp dumplings. What’s presented here is heavily Americanized dim sum and also simplified. The chicken feet dish should usually takes more than half a day to make and the sauce is a combination of million different sauces to make it sweet and savory and complex af. Chicken feet should be boiled, deep fried, put it in ice water, boiled again and then steamed. Shrimp dumplings have too much bamboo shoots and it should have a whole shrimp in it. Egg tart should have the flakiest pastry you’ll ever imagine. I’m not saying he’s ways of making them were wrong(They are all food) but I’m Chinese and the presentation of these dishes are not what I’m familiar with.
This was awesome, well timed and needed. Chris Cheung did a great job displaying his skillz. I don't eat some of the ingredients provided, but I can foresee some good foods that can be substituted for the benefit. Thanks for the good content and knowledge on the heritage and background.
Enjoyed this video’s explanations. One thing I noticed, the background sound of the beating sticks made me very anxious as if I was expecting the chef to run out of time on a game show - took me awhile to figure out why I felt that way considering the narration, in stark contrast, was relaxing.
Oh my goodness thank you for this!!! I used to eat Sashipow (pork buns) every morning before hs. I’m half Thai with a bit of Chinese and half Caucasian and to have all of these recipes in one place oh my goodness….. ❤
I love that he included chicken feet!! I’ve grown up with dim sum all my life and it’s like my top three favourite dishes in dim sum! But where I currently live doesn’t have good dim sum and the one decent place doesn’t have chicken feet, I miss having them sooo much 😭 If you’ve never had this chicken feet dish before I highly recommend it! The sauce is delicious and the feet are like a beautiful chicken bite of fatty skin, a little bit of meat, cartilage, and just a bit of bone. Personally I even eat the cartilage but I don’t know if that’s common 😅
For anyone that is freaked out by chicken feet, consider this - you've likely eaten a chicken wing within a second thought. That's like eating the chicken's hands.. why are the feet so different?
I love chicken feet! I'm Eastern European and we eat them too - cooked in soups or stews. It's part of a cooking culture that respects the food source. A bird gave it's life to provide sustenance and to nourish. Respect the bird! Eat the dang tasty feet!
I've eaten at many dim sum restaurants over the years and have never seen that clam dish. Must be a New York thing. Har Gao, Sui mai, pork buns, chicken feet are at all of them. Spring rolls and pot stickers are less common.
Not gonna lie. It's not every day that you find the sound of a Chinese chef with a Brooklyn accent so therapeutic. In terms of dim sum though. Those potstickers and the siu mai does it for me.
If you say what has the best tasty, umami, savoury, and high skilled technique it is my country's cuisine, CHINESE CUISINE.Dimsum has every need of ingredient, art tecnhiques, symbolism of chinese culture, and a wonderful presentation.
The most authentic part of this video was the fact that he didn’t need specific measurements for the ingredients 🤣 exactly how my grandmother cooks too
