The Cantonese (Hong Kong /Dim Sum) cuisine is probably the best-known Chinese foods. These are the ones that hang their roast ducks, chickens, cuttle-fish/octopus, crunchy roast pork/pig in the glass display/window. The "mom and pop" restaurants are very noisy and festive. And I believe it should be so because everyone should eat joyfully as if you're at home enjoying your foods.
The Dutch call them "loempia" because Indonesians call them so, and there're so many Indonesians in Holland. The origin of "loempia " is actually Chinese Spring Rolls. Chinese migrants have spread the spring rolls to overall South East Asia gazillion years ago. The Indonesian locals called them lumpia. Then came the Dutch... 😂
You missed out the Yam Cake 芋角and Cheong Fun 肠粉 which are the favourites for most！The Durian something is very new addition and not often offered except a few restaurants.
Dim Sum is not limited to a single dish and it basically means picking something to your heart's desire. If you don't like one dish, then pick another one. There's nothing overrated about it.
@@OurChineseLife Interesting.. I don't recall dim sum being too expensive even in Hong Kong - unless you're in those touristy areas. That could definitely cost you an arm and a leg.
Next time, you should try the "mom and pop" Dim Sum restaurant, those are the best and cheaper. The one where they push the carts around for you to pick which dish you want to try. The majority of the "Dim Sum" dishes are supposed to be steam dish NOT deep fry stuff. Some of good ones that I didn't see you guys try are (small pieces -Ribs with black beans, shrimp/beef rice rolls, Tripe/honeycomb with ginger and black beans, tofu sheet rolls-with meat, sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaves). These are my all-times favorite dishes (of course chicken feet) and they are steam dishes. They should be 1/3 of the price of a regular dish. From my experience, fancy restaurants foods are average at best. They are for business and dates.
Just came across this channel. The 80s vibe is strong. Absolutely love it. 'Just like a white winged dove, sing a song, sound like she's singing. Ohh ohh ohh.' The kids are adorable. Best wishes to the whole family 🎉 - from 🇨🇦
Yeah, dim sum at wrong timing, ambiance,,,, is not epicurean. It would be like a Chinese in New York and after a few years, decided that soup, salad and a nice 20oz prime rib for breakfast, is not really all that. Anyway, Keep on trucking, I like to see your take on things crossing two generations.
That's right. Dim Sum restaurants in Shenzhen usually operate the whole day. You can walk in at 9pm asking for Dim Sum too in many places. The difference, however, is that usual morning(branch) Dim Sum has special prices. By "special" means lower.
@@latiendaca1773 The British not only gotten tea from China, but also fine bone china to serve it in as well. The term "Drinking Tea" is also meant as Dim Sum in Cantonese and i would even go as far to say is where the British have gotten the idea of "Afternoon Tea" (The term "High Tea" is used for those less affluent trying to make it sound higher class when it is in fact the opposite cogitation) !
I heard Shenzhen is the capital of bubble tea, which I guess would be more DeeDee and Freddy's thing. I would love to see a video where you guys, or the kids go around trying different bubble tea, or showing us the ones they like 😄
A family of four, 2 adults, 200 kuai max for a similar kind of authentic Dim Sum in Shenzhen big hotels. Hotel buildings usually designate an entire floor for this kind of restaurants. Authentic & packed! Forget about Marriott, Shangri-La, Hilton these kind of global chains, look for 3, 4 or 5 star Chinese-name big hotels, SZ local ones. Usually Saturday/Sunday branch special deals. Some even offer all-you-can-eat Dim Sum buffet at an attractive price. There must be many in Shekou, Nanshan, particularly Luohu.
I once tried going to a traditional dim sum restaurant at Zhongshan, and they stopped serving dim sum after 1:30 lol. I think you guys gotta try that authentic dim sum experience in the morning with dim sum ladies pushing a kart around tables with freshly made dim sum ready to be ordered to your table.
Dim sum is not only in Canton. It is all over the world where ever Cantonese reside such as Hong Kong, San Francisco, New York, Honolulu etc. The child pronounce it in mandarin very well but the children should learn how to pronounce the dimsum in Cantonese instead of Mandarin since it from Canton. I still speak Cantonese and enjoy dimsum with tea every Sunday in San Francisco.
Loving the VCR style videos.. takes me back to when I was your kids' ages. Dim Sum some Southerner style stuff and the Steamed Chicken Feet my favorite wooot! 😋Awesome family too*
I too had problems with chicken feet the first few times but once I got over the fear, I order it every time I go to dim sum. Congrats on reaching 10k subscribers! And hope many more to come!
Hello family, some context for y'all... 1. Cantonese people do not eat "dim sum", instead they go "yum cha"... which literally translates to "drink tea". Going to yum cha is going to eat a dim sum breakfast/brunch/lunch/late lunch for Guandong folks. 2. Yes, "dim sum" literally translates to "pointing to the heart", meaning ordering the small baskets/plates of food you want. Some of the bigger items that people order (ie. fried noodles) aren't really dim sum, but it will still be available. 3. Chicken feet in Cantonese translates as "phoenix claws". You know by now, Chinese dishes aren't always literal or makes sense by its name... there's usually some other context or story to it. For example, 口水鸡 (Kou Shui Ji) literally means “Saliva Chicken”, but it implies that it is "mouth-watering" and tasty chicken. So, the red rice roll you had is a variation of (Cheung Fun, 腸粉) the very popular Cantonese/Guandong dish... It literally translates to "pig intestine noodles" for its resemblance to, guess what? No, there are no organs in that dish. 4. Yes, dim sum is an expensive meal no matter what country you have it in. This makes Cantonese people especially sad because it is a staple and they LOVE to go yum cha. 5. David is a bad actor. He is still very unconvincing in his performance. LOL😆
your 2 little ones are natural smart wonder kids, congee is carbohydrate suger rich liquid, consumed within secs will go direct into your blood stream, chicken feet is high for calcium in take, especially good for seniors PEACE
I don't think they cooked the chicken feet long enough. Those should be cooked to the point where the skin and the bone are separated when you poke at it. Not supposed to bite it off and chew it. It looked a bit rough.
3:30 The watch we all dreamt of when we were kid. 😍 I guess this one is a modern revisited version. The original one was a watch calculator. 7:12 For 40€... only, even me, who don't fancy dim sum, i would go for it everyday. LOL
Your family is absolutely Chinese-life experiencer. Brave to eat chicken feet. For westners, chicken feet seem like devil food for them. But Deedee and Freddy born in China, they can accept them. I am pretty sure that they have seen their classmates or friends eating them. Actually, the Chicken feet in Canton Dim Sum, it's easy to get the meat. But most foreigners cannot get the skills to chew meats from the bones of Chicken feet. That's kinda like more Asian talent in that flied. Similar like most westners can't do Asian Squat. LOL
Your videos are getting better each time..more Maturity and topics..keep up the fantastic work..Maybe catch up with 'Blondie in China' shes a Aussie girl doing food vlogs most of the time.
Wow...everything looked so delicious. If you find yourself in Hong Kong, try some amazing Michelin rated dim sum restaurants: try the sweet and soft to fu (tofu fa) with sesame paste and try an authentic wonton noodle soup.
@@OurChineseLife that would be awesome... next time I find myself in my favorite city, will message you (before I go) so we can meet up, and we can all explore Hong Kong together.
@@OurChineseLife oh, and if you all go in the near future, I can recommend some nice spots for not so expensive fine Cantonese dining because as you all know, Hong Kong is a very expensive city. Do they teach Cantonese (alongside Mandarin) in schools in Shenzhen? If not, that's a shame. So, the only places Cantonese is taught are probably Hong Kong and Macau.
Do you go to those fancy malls (i.e Coco Park, MixC) and eat there. There are tons of videos of Chinese RUclipsrs that that did vlogs there. However. They are all in Cantonese.
The Dim Sum dishes are more filling than they look. I often order more than I can eat Curious, were you able to finish all of these dishes? BTW Dee Dee's way of talking reminds me of my daughter's - interestingly, young girls sometimes share a similar vocal tone and manner of speaking.
can't go wrong with dim sum. if you go to a good place, there will be dozens of appetizer portion dishes so just stick to what you like! if you're not a dim sum veteran and order a bunch of more exotic dishes, there's a higher chance you're leave thinking it's not for you. should also have a small dipping dish with soy and/or chili to dunk some of that stuff otherwise it might not be savory enough. that was a lot pricier than I expected, or maybe the durian was the main culprit?
i was like the worst picky eater when i was a kid, but at one point i needed super energy for pennies so canned tuna something that would make me heave smelling it from accross the room became my go to breakfast for a month or three (tuna and mayo) then after that while it still was not something i would eat regularly got reclassified as "it's alright" by my brain and made me realize that taste could be changed so from that point on i made it a point that if i did not like the taste of something i made a conscious effort to eat that as much and as often as i possibly could. when i traveled to China i did same as i was still in that habit so i was that weird foreigner snacking on dried fish jerky and ordering seaweed baozi ;p kinda only got to like it around week 5 (last lol) doh ;p
y'all didn't review the youtiao, that cripsy bread thing in the congee. I prefer it crispy and not soggy so I don't dip it in the congee (or they can be eaten with soy milk too).
Unlike mom, Freddy must have eaten chicken feet many times over I guess. You tell the the way he ate it is very different from that of Ursula : 4:27 Ursula ate it vertically, meaning starting from the finger nails - yummy! 😂 Freddy however, skipped the finger nails, and ate it horizontally like eating a chicken wing- yay!
@OurChineseLife that's about £35, it's still great value considering it's a high end dim sum restaurant. You'd easily be £100 in the UK for poorer quality grub like that.
"Dim sum" literally translated as "so close to the heart" and is a large range of hors d'oeuvres Cantonese people traditionally enjoy in restaurants (previously teahouses) for breakfast and lunch but never for dinner, washed down with tea. There are at least two thousand types of dim sum in total across China. What you guys had was ONLY a very tiny selection of some of the assortment of dim sum and I am surprise you did not try the most common siu mai, char-siu-pau, wu-kok, etc (check out some of the most commonly dim sum eaten by Chinese people). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dim_sum
I think Shrimp Dumpling and Xiao Mei (no English translation of this one as far as I know) plus BBQ Pork Streamed Bun are the real 'souls' of Dim Sum, Chicken Feet is not but probably the Cantonese Yum Cha the ONLY cuisine in the world where you can eat this part of chicken. If you are not biased nor scared of its shape, it actually tastes quite good. What you show in the video are also only part of the dim sum family and there are more than these. :) Btw, your daughter is pretty and adorable. 😄
awesome video, no any offending, After visiting USA and Europe, I have to say Chinese food is much healthy than the west. Western countries consume too much meet and suger.
the har gao/prawn dumpling is not authentic as it is too big as it has to be a one biter.... the top prawn dumpling is quite juicy inside so if it's too big, those few drops of juice will run out and the whole experience is ruined.... next time you have har gao, the bigger definitely not the better...
Your family makes China special, too. I wish your family many more happy years in China.
Thank you! 🫶🏻
The Cantonese (Hong Kong /Dim Sum) cuisine is probably the best-known Chinese foods. These are the ones that hang their roast ducks, chickens, cuttle-fish/octopus, crunchy roast pork/pig in the glass display/window. The "mom and pop" restaurants are very noisy and festive. And I believe it should be so because everyone should eat joyfully as if you're at home enjoying your foods.
The congee is much better than what the West passes off as nutritious breakfast namely cereals.
Are you saying that Frosties aren’t healthy?! 😂
作为外国人你们不喜欢吃中餐很正常 就像大多数中国人也不喜欢吃西餐一样 顺便说一句你们吃的这叫广东早茶也就是早餐 是广东人在上午10：00之前吃的东西 上午11：30～13:30是中国人的午餐时间这个时间吃的才算是真正意义上的中餐 而晚餐中国人通常是的比较少也相对简单 中国人一日三餐吃的东西是不一样的 有句话叫做 早晨是的好（营养价值高） 中午吃得饱（能量价值高） 晚上吃的少（低糖低脂低碳水）
I don't eat dimsum that often as well. But everytime I go for dimsum meals. It's a real treat.
The Dutch call them "loempia" because Indonesians call them so, and there're so many Indonesians in Holland.

Dim Sum is normally eaten like lunch or brunch between 11:00am and 3:00pm, but many restaurants still serve it after 3:00pm which is not epicurean.
I know, but this restaurant is even open till 10pm, so you can eat dim sum any time you want! 😜

Wonderful video as always!
My hometown is Hong Kong, and I'm glad you feel that dim sum is at least acceptable, because in Guangdong, not liking dim sum is blasphemy.
what a nice and happy family
I was in the Nederlands back in 2012 and had dim sum in Amsterdam- it was way better than the dim sum in NYC.
Recommended for first timer that never had Chinese food before, Dim sum Cantonese Food.

Sorry Mom, but chicken feet isn't the "soul" of Dim Sum, but rather it is the Shrimp Dumpling - Har Gow in Cantonese.

Congrats on reaching 10k subscribers! And hope many more to come!
Yes exactly! It’s the fear of the feet that stops me from eating it. You just need to get over it 😂
Most people don't know either, need remove the skin before making chicken feet, it was clean no touch the ground. 😊
Outer skin of the chicken feet peeled off before preparation for cooking
I have tried that dim sum restaurant in shenzhen and delicious especially the red rice roll
Those are also my favorite
