My Dad was a long haul trucker. Depending on when he got home and for how long, sometimes when it worked out well he would always catch this show. He didn't watch anything else but the news. Sitting with him and hearing him laugh with this show is one of my earliest memories.

I always thought i was weird for loving this show so much when i was a little kid, now watching this 30 years later i realize i was a smart kid. This man always impressed me. 👍
Ah, the good old 80's. I was just a kid back then, and any shows or printed materials showing far away, exotic locations like Hong Kong, Singapore and the like was something I always relished. At the time, it seemed that those places are so far away and my chance of actually ever setting my foot there was remote at best. Fast forward 40 years, and while I can't say that I'm a globetrotter, I did travel to some of those places. But watching programs like this still brings me a warm feeling, reminding me of those naïvete and innocence of youth.
1990-1999 were the best years, where everybody staying in their house just to watch this show together that aired on Friday afternoon around 1pm. I said together. We watched it together with 1 tv only
funny part is he is like this all the time ... he loved cracking jokes because he liked seeing people smile ... this episode was from the 70's the farrah fawcett era of charlies angels ... I think this was one of the 24 episodes he did in Ottawa as well ..
he inspired me to cook my first international dishes since a very young boy made my grand parents freak out cooking and then kept going on for 38 years doh je Sifu Yan !
Owh... This is the most TV program I love so much since I was kids, I learned so many Chinese dish from this program. And I always want to try to cook the menu that I have watched. Thanks so much to him because he was so entertaining, creative and talented in teaching cooking. 😍😍😍... Miss this so much... Hope to see more videos of him.
I wished he would come back and do shows as a lot of the cooking shows i see are boring. I truly enjoyed how he did shows and how passionate he was about doing them.
I was around 13 years old when I start watching this show. That was 40 years ago and he was better then any comedian on tv that also was a awesome cooking chef.
Stephen Yan is like Chef Boy Logro of the Philippines, although "Wok with Yan" was very popular in the Philippines in the late Eighties and early Nineties.
As a chinaman who grew up in Hong Kong as a child, this rice crispy dish is very unusual, as far as I know. I haven't heard or seen this dish in Hong Kong, or Canada. I would try it if I can get that rice crispy from the rice cooker.
This is the man that as a child made me want to cook for a living. As an adult, I worked in kitchens most of my working life. Years later and I am done with it now, the shitty hours and shitty pay along with hairbrained wait staff, and enough "bad management" stories over the years to write a series of books about. I cook at home now and that's it. Never again will I step into the drudgery of kitchen work. I'd sooner clean port-a-potties at this point (same amount of shit to deal with but the pay is better and the hours more accomodating)
he got old ... in this taping he was already in his early 60's ... and this is from the late 70's ... martin Yan ... his son ... took over and does/did yan can cook ...
