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.
I adore Mr.Yan. He was my childhood. I don't recall any asians on TV in Canada. Him and Monika Deol (Indian/asian) on Much Music was pretty much it on the 80s/90's. The jokes here are the best and super clever. This show is where I learned to cook awesome chinese food.
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.
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 !
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
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.
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 ..
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.
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)
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.
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 ...

He mixed humor and knowledge with skill while teaching, making it a joy to learn. Not everyone can do that.
This and the Urban Peasant. Hah!
@@seanl548 I also watch the Galloping Gourmet.... Lol
I was like that with Yan can cook

Thanks ! Brings back some great memories, we would watch CBC on our satellite dish and Yan was always so entertaining.
Watched his show when it was first on. He taught me the basics and de-mystified this wonderful method of cooking.
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.
He's gotta be like 80 now
80 year olds can still cook !

This Guy was quite a character
I liked the fact that he'd make jokes during the show even while he's cooking

that rice crispy soup is something you dont see anymore because people now use rice cookers and that burnt rice at the bottom is pretty rare nowadays
I saw this program, when i was in elementary school.. That was brought nice memory for me
i was today years old when i found out there was 2 Yans, Stephen Yan and Martin Yan
Martin Yan even worker for Stephen Yan at one point to

Wonder what happened to him now... he just vanished.
I used to enjoy watching his cooking shows! He's fantastic. Wondering, if he is still alive?
Tickets to this would have been hot shitt back then
His voice makes me hungry 🤣

RIP Steven Ho Lee Yan - dieded Dec 26 2019 aged 89.
Very sad but the Japanese dude was old.
He's Chinese. And where did you find this information on his passing?
Is this true?
'Nonsense. You thought he was Japanese and you said "dieded" instead of "died." Fake news.
Yeah, I don't believe this for an instant.
He's alive, guys...
Hi

Yan is so weird and corny! But his cooking works, ah, woks!! :-D
So cringey
clown
You mad, bro? Yeah, you mad.
Rather he's doing his job as an entertainer. Let's see your show, Francisco.
