This is what the Australian Food Culture is all about. This is hands down, the best video yet Mark. Thanks for showcasing our wonderful multicultural culinary experience.
im not sure how two men can stare in each others face for that long ..So big ! Mark rubbing that stringy rich & creamy head butter all over himself...you need to cup it !
I love the chef lol, none of the pretentious crap you usually get from great chefs and just straight up I wasn't smart enough for college so I became a chef cause I didn't suck at it! Good stuff.
tbh I aint too impressed.. I didnt really like any of the preparations of the crab.. He goes too far.. All that ginger, and then all that pepper... lol.. No thanks.. Even the noodle dish he put sooo much oil in it...
@@JonHop1He didn't actually put that much ginger for that amount of crab, he put a bunch of julienned spring onions on top after the ginger. The ginger is also thinly sliced, not grated so they don't impart as much ginger flavour. The same rule with the pepper, whole spices don't impart as much flavour as the same amount in grounded form.
@@julesverneinoz But u dont need much of ANYTHING on crab like that.. Let.. Just add a touch of lemon butter and herb and u are good.. Let the meat be the focal point.
The dude sounds like a natural born australian ... and why would it matte if he did migrate from another place ... does australia give non-citizens more opportunity than it does their natural born citizens?
Mark is exploring different side and food culture of Australia. And Sonny is showing indigenous food and culture in his channel. Been in Sydney from 7-8 yrs and enjoying their videos of wonderful Aussie food shows. Well done guys
They're both awesome, but I prefer Sonny. Mark seems a bit lost or socially awkward at times. Not that I blame him, who wouldn't be in settings like that, with super exclusive food and people? Bless his heart. Its just harder to watch especially when its so relatable 😅 Like the times he's trying to hard to be a people pleaser, hard to explain... but like with the peppery crab in this video, I don't think he liked it as much as he said.🙈 He seemed nervous about saying anything at all as he went straight into overselling it as he was kinda trembling while handling it. But love to see all the amazing foods and cultures on both their channels.
@@AlmightyAphrodite haha. Good analysis. Mark is quiet and takes time to explain and show the details. Sonny is aggressive and quick wit which adds fun to watch.
I'm really liking this Aussie food tour series... seeing snippets of Sydney, the seafood market, the stats, the food prep, etc. Aussie food culture, wow! Eye-rolling head turning tasty guys! Well done Mark. Special thanks to Chef Dan - seems such a nice man. Makes me proud (& hungry) to be an Aussie. Cheers from Sydney.
I've seen a lot of seafood meals....I've seen a lot of Crab meals....this one tops them all. What a trio of fabulous dishes...the Noodles and head fixins top anything else I've seen!! Chef Dan is amazing and a nice man. Mark, as always....you are the best at what you do!
So many things I’ve never seen before in this video! From the massive Tasmanian crab, the thinly sliced ginger, even the dedicated steam machine! This is the definition of “learning something new everyday”
I cannot say how amazingly jealous I am of you for having this experience. Saying that, I am also extremely grateful that you shared it with us. From now on I live my food dreams through you, vicariously of course.
I have immense respect for what this guy has done. He has literally documented food and culture better than anybody I've seen. What an incredible feat in my opinion.
Not only the King Crab is very rare but it was also cooked by Chef Hong that made it Ultra rare! What a privilege to have Chef Hong cook for you. I'm so jealous.
Tasmanian Giant Crab is what you see in the video. Those have been commercially fished since 1992, grow very slowly, and are about to extinct due to overfishing. Enjoy your meal.
As someone who lives 2km from Syd Fish Markets and Mr Wong and have been to both dozens of times, is an eerie feeling to see it on Marks channel. Glad you liked it bud. Sydney represent 🇦🇺🦘
This is seriously one of the greatests chefs on this show. Controlled creativity. One of the few times to see Marc this humble. Wonderful to see two such two great food-minds together. What a dynamic
I can proudly say as an Australian who has traveled many places and had the pleasure of eating and experiencing some amazing cultures in my life. Although our meat & seafood produce is top tier unbeatable the cleanest the most vibrant in colour the freshest. Thanks you for coming Mark I hope you can get back here soon for a round 2 make sure the Gold Coast makes the part 2 🙌🏽
Meat? You wish. Argentinian meat ones are the best meat in the world. Our supermarket meat beats most normal restaraunts around the worlds I been. That includes Australia.
When I travel to Australia I desperately want to go to this restaurant. The dim sum, duck, everything looks exquisite. One day if i am lucky enough i will try a tasmanian crab! Very very special! 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿💪🏿👊🏿
Did it look amazing? It didn't seem like they were actually enjoying it... they said they were but their expressions didn't agree. But you are here to be duped, aren't you?
I never ever drooled over a good video like this one. Crab is my favorite so this absolutely scratched every itch. My god, this is so good..ooff..i just keep swallowing my saliva bcz my mouth wont stop getting watery lol. Sooo gooood
Thank you Mark for showing so many wonderful places and food in Australia. Can’t wait to try them out myself 😄Welcome to Sydney and hope you have a wonderful time here with family and crew 💕
Fish Market is really iconic for fresh seafood hunters and Mr. Wong is famous for high level Chinese cuisine in Sydney. Mark brings these two together and makes extraordinary video. What a show!
I'm a culinary chef, and there's nothing more desirable to me, in the culinary world, than experiencing this...what a treat! All I can say is WOW. 🦀🦀🦀🦀🌶️
I don’t know Mr. Wiens, but this Australia food tour is your best one yet. Everything you have shared has been amazing🤩 visiting Australia looks like must!
Was in Mr Wong's yesterday as a traveller from Melbourne. Amazing place. The food is awesome. Service fantastic. But this vid doesnt do justice to just how beautiful the restaurant is, from outside, hidden in an alleyway to inside with jazz music and decor that just oozes taste and style. What a place to showcase a ridiculous crab. Awesome vid. Cheers to everyone involved. Thanks Mark and crew. Hope they caught a bit of VIVID.
@@katrinawong8273 I'll definitely be going back for a La Carte. Did dim sum first time. Also added pippies in XO sauce with the crispy thin rice noodles. Never seen it done like this before and wow. Just sooo good! Soaked up all the sauce. Normally it is chinese donuts.. but this was far better!!
I LOVE CHEF DAN! He’s so cool, I watched an Australian food show with him as a judge, and he’s absolutely delightful. Great video, Mark! I’d give my left eye for that crab, I live in landlocked northern Canada, so crab here comes in a can.
This has to be the best food video ever Mark. Chef Dan Hong with his Chinese Cuisine is very unique and I love it. Cudos to you Mark for going to Australia and obviously your followers on RUclips have increased.
Mark, this was such an insightful video, great content. I'm learning so much. I never would've thought prawns were so big in Australia, but it make sense why so many Australians come to New Orleans to the point of them having family reunions in New Orleans, because she share full loves for seafood.
This chef is amazing, he's so human and just seems like a wonderful guy. I get so tired of the high and mighty chefs we keep seeing all the time and seeing this guy take it back to the basics and get in there and do the work. Good for him and on to more joy! I get TONS of blue crab, shrimp, and all the gulf seafood here in the US, and it's always a lot of work for the blue crab to get the meat out. I can't even imagine just getting a CLAW with that much where you have to take many bites to get through it. Unreal!
another enjoyable video Mark chef Wong is amazing you could not only see but feel his love for his art of cooking. Both your mouth and eyes were only smiling from enjoying that meal. Thank you both
Mark, your enthusiasm for the food really shines through on this video and your host, Chef Wong, was a genuinely great host. What a great video and I could taste the meal from thousands of miles away just from the description and the looks of pleasure. Thanks for another great show.
@@damiann4734 Thank you for the correction on the chef's name. My mistake was that the name of the restaurant is "Mr. Wongs", (see the video footage at 0:47 seconds into the intro).
@@gregmonger5747 the restaurant is probably a play on sino-chinese literature. "Wong" can be the chinese counter part of "Hong", often from the southern regions of China. Since his restaurant is mostly southern chinese cuisine, the name is quite suitable and clever.
Hi Mark thanks for sharing that experience with the world. Chef Dan is one in a million. I hope he will open a restaurant in Canada. I would like to be one of his first customers. Crab is one of my favourite shell fish.
The best blog for me. Mr. Wong is a great chef. I can feel the passion while cooking. Explanations of what why where and when gave me more awareness,insight and knowledge. More power to you Mr. WONG. THANK YOU MUCH MARK FOR THE UNTIRING SELFLESS ADVENTURES TO SHARE. GOD BLESS YOU.
The best thing about Sydney is that u can travel 10 minutes in any direction anywhere, and get whatever type of food you want. It is a melting pot of different cultural food
I so enjoyed watching this video. The fish market is truly amazing. And your experience with Chef Dan is awesome! I'm glad you had such a fantastic time.
Just as I thought the Crabfest was over, he brings out the duck! Words cannot describe. Chef Hong is the best. I would like to offer my services to help cleanup those leftovers!
Me sitting here in Australia eating beans on toast for dinner. haha, jokes aside, this video was absolutely wonderful, so great to see two people so passionate about something, it was a pleasure to watch. I would love to experience this restaurant if I was to to ever have a chance.
First time viewer. Great 👍video ..... the way yall both tasted it at the same time and genuinely enjoyed the flavors and the conversation....... just two guys enjoying some amazing cuisine💯
@@tombratfred3102 its called crab butter and cooking rice and noodles in it is a very common practice as thats where the majority of the fat is and fat is obviously flavor
@@AngelPerez-ln1uc I crab snare Dungeness crabs 🦀 up in the Bay Area California USA and I never eat the ‘butter’ it’s not just it’s fat it’s all it’s guts, all of the heavy metals, toxins and contaminants in the crab as well. As much as I love crab I clean them of the guts before cooking as I don’t need contaminants and toxins in my food. They measure the toxins in crabs here each season and some seasons it’s not even sage to eat. When you have a lot of crabs to cook you also it also makes room in the pot or stammer etc. But seriously the ‘butter’ is full of toxins
Makes me wanna go to Sydney right now! Awesome video as usual Mr. Wiens. Chef Dan, the legend! It must’ve been an honor to get to taste his dishes and cook along side with him. 👌🏻
Man I haven’t watched one of your videos in a lonngggg timmmeee. & the first one I click on back to watching you is a gooodd one😄, I love me some crabs man😋. & those are huuggeee I would never be able to finish the whole thing probably😅❤.
Man, this seafood market looks like it's of the highest level! The number of species, and the freshness on display... overwhelming 😂 Would really, really love to go someday!
As an Aussie and Sydney resident, I would say that Incheon fish market is probably more impressive from the scale of it and the amount of live seafood available. Where seafood in Sydney and Australia generally comes to the fore is the quality from the very clean waters we have. We'd love to see you, T'Way are now flying direct for good prices, or you can pay a bit more on Qantas, Asiana or K-Air.
@MonstaAU No doubt that some Korean markets may be a step up in size and scope (haven't been to the Incheon one!) - but yes, from the look of it, this one has a strong level of quality/freshness. I could be getting swayed by Mr. Wiens on that 🙂
Brings back my Australia vacation memories! Best seafood dinners in the world and enhanced by strict laws about pollution and overfishing! They got it right!
Mark Wiens I've been watching ur videos on & off in diff's countries, but Chef Dan Wong explaining every detail of how to cook that King Crab-3 ways & eating w/ you is a legend, such a genuine person..showing too other good dishes in his restaurant, roasted duck, mapo tofu, those signature dim sums, dumplings, siomai, etc. more power to his restaurant. Thx Mark for this video
I see a wonderful variety of seafood prepred with so mny different seasonings and surely spicey I would imagine. Such an effort by chef Hong and explain all the plated dishes how they re seasoned and cooked. Thank youso much for such an education on these seafoods and the market was fabulous.
Those are some massive king crabs Mark, the seafood is just amazing. What a wonderful experience it has been for you and the family here in both Sydney and Melbourne. Thank you for this great series.
Thumbs up to the Chef Mate. I feel I wanna go to the Restaurant now. Great episode video once again Mark. Amazing and truly captures the scenic point of Australia.
If anybody deserves such a gigantic crab experience, it's Mark 😅 He's put in the time and dedication over the years, and this is just one proper reward. Looks insanely tasty!
Mark, I really love this type of videos, specialty when are made by professionals like you and Chef Dan Hong on Mr Wonk Rest. Its so amazing that you have to bring gratitude to God for there creations and variety he create for our taste and smells and vision. Make me feel beyond happy. I feel Hungry now! I hope one day I will enjoy this delicatessens in full. But until that, I appreciate your work and the masterpiece of Mr Wonk Rest. Thank you...! We really appreciate all of it!
This is what the Australian Food Culture is all about. This is hands down, the best video yet Mark.
Thanks for showcasing our wonderful multicultural culinary experience.
unreal. That chef is the real deal. Honest and excited. What a pure soul.
Chef Dan is a really cool guy has a high profile and really knows his stuff.
im not sure how two men can stare in each others face for that long ..So big ! Mark rubbing that stringy rich & creamy head butter all over himself...you need to cup it !
Comment made at 1min30sec just made Dan Hong not know his facts 🤦🏻♂️ embarrassing for all seafood produces Australia wide
@@andreychekhovyes he made a big blue there…
Isn't the stuff from the crab head is crab blood
I love the chef lol, none of the pretentious crap you usually get from great chefs and just straight up I wasn't smart enough for college so I became a chef cause I didn't suck at it! Good stuff.
Australian mate we don't care what school you went to if you're good you are
Yes i love the chef, humble & kind
@@bradbriggs5347not really mate. You get a lot of pretentious BS too. Especially in Double Bay or around those areas.
@@bradbriggs5347
I’m with you! This guy knows his stuff when it comes to cooking!
Well, finally someone has the same opinion as me
Both guys had smiles on their faces pretty much the entire time, very wholesome.
You are privileged to have chef Dan prepare something like this with you. An honor. What passion. Delightful
tbh I aint too impressed.. I didnt really like any of the preparations of the crab.. He goes too far.. All that ginger, and then all that pepper... lol.. No thanks.. Even the noodle dish he put sooo much oil in it...

@@JonHop1Oh agreed. However, he's a chef, not a fisherman. That fare is what you'd expect to eat on a boat.
Dan is a top bloke and an exemplary example of the great success of migrant families in Australia. Oh, and the boy sure can cook! Amazing restaurant.
Racist
Yes he is
He's far better than MY KITCHEN RULES CHEFS, where r they now?
immigration ruined canada, is tasmania safe from it?
The dude sounds like a natural born australian ... and why would it matte if he did migrate from another place ... does australia give non-citizens more opportunity than it does their natural born citizens?

Keep being who you are and your life and soul will be blessed always, chef Dan.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Man I love Australian people accent 😄. I love every culture accent really❤.
As an accent user, thank you
So many things I’ve never seen before in this video! From the massive Tasmanian crab, the thinly sliced ginger, even the dedicated steam machine! This is the definition of “learning something new everyday”
you need to go out more lol
Absolutely! I also love and appreciate learning, it's a very successful and happy day when I'm learning new things!! ❤ wonderful video!

Thanks Andrew!

Mark did a great job showcasing food scene in Australia. I hope he visits island of Tasmania and perth as well.
I am loving his Australian videos as well. It is a beautiful country with high quality food.
Belize please

You may have good crab, but Aussies are a bit dumb, when it comes, to the horrible Royal Family!!!
💀
those are bold statements to be just spouting out xD im sure you are pretty biased though.
LOL being all jabbed up controlled since u gave all your weapons up.. Love your concentration camps stay complicit.. sheep.
Meat? You wish. Argentinian meat ones are the best meat in the world. Our supermarket meat beats most normal restaraunts around the worlds I been. That includes Australia.
I love and appreciate this video and most of all the love and excitement from both men as they enjoy this meal. So genuine.
When I travel to Australia I desperately want to go to this restaurant. The dim sum, duck, everything looks exquisite. One day if i am lucky enough i will try a tasmanian crab! Very very special! 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿💪🏿👊🏿
It's totally worth it. It's my fave Asian restaurant and I've been lucky to dine there several times
If there are any left.
I appreciate Chef Dan’s candidness about his path to becoming a chef. Man that crab looked amazing!
Did it look amazing? It didn't seem like they were actually enjoying it... they said they were but their expressions didn't agree. But you are here to be duped, aren't you?
llooks pretty bad to me lol
We have a full video about this crab, why don't you watch it?
I truly believe that this chef needs his own show man. Amazing vibe of a chef.
Dan has a couple already....look him up.
Dan has been on telly many times. He is already well known here.

As an Aussie and Sydney resident, I would say that Incheon fish market is probably more impressive from the scale of it and the amount of live seafood available. Where seafood in Sydney and Australia generally comes to the fore is the quality from the very clean waters we have. We'd love to see you, T'Way are now flying direct for good prices, or you can pay a bit more on Qantas, Asiana or K-Air.
@MonstaAU No doubt that some Korean markets may be a step up in size and scope (haven't been to the Incheon one!) - but yes, from the look of it, this one has a strong level of quality/freshness. I could be getting swayed by Mr. Wiens on that 🙂
Woke
better than Japan I'd say!
@@FlavorofMind And a damn site more morality. Asian fish markets don't give a damn about conservation and quotas.
Since i was a small child, i have always wanted to visit Australia.
If you come Sydney, hit me up and i'll take you for a surf around curl curl!
🙋🏾♀️ Sydney-sider here, born & raised. Come over! You're most welcome 🤗 all of Mark's Aussie foodie adventures have been on point 👌
make sure you keep a week open for NZ
@@dougmphillynah Australia and Bali 😅

I used to worked under Chef Dan as he was my Executive Chef. He is very nice Chef and very very inspirational. Big fan until now from Indonesia 🇮🇩🙏🏻
I’m so jealous! I’m sure your food is amazing also ❤❤❤
Claw? Tomahawk steak o'da sea
I'm crying. That was the most amazing crab dish I've ever seen. MUST HAVE CRAB!!!!
Brings back my Australia vacation memories! Best seafood dinners in the world and enhanced by strict laws about pollution and overfishing! They got it right!
Such amazing ingredients and such and amazing Aussie Chef Dan! with a heart of pure Gold!
Chef Dan is a magician in the kitchen!! Damn that 🦀 looks AMAZING 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm super jealous!! I love seafood of all kinds! When he says taste the salty water I'm so drooling!!
I watch a lot of cooking shows but this chef is a boss so much skill and passion its beautiful.
This chef has so much compassion for food and preserving his culture, a perfect match with Mark.
Know thats best feed ive ever ever seen.i will be going to this place when im in Sydney next.
I have not been this jealous of watching a food video in a loooonnnggg time. Looks amazing!
So good! Mr. Wong's is definitely on my to-go list. Chef Dan seems like an absolute legend!
Mark has the most foodgasms of anyone I've seen 😂😂. I wonder how many take out containers Mark took home from this one dinner 😅😅
I love seeing the chefs in the kitchen creating their master piece dish(es)!
One of your best episodes ever and I've been watching 5 years!
Mark Wiens I've been watching ur videos on & off in diff's countries, but Chef Dan Wong explaining every detail of how to cook that King Crab-3 ways & eating w/ you is a legend, such a genuine person..showing too other good dishes in his restaurant, roasted duck, mapo tofu, those signature dim sums, dumplings, siomai, etc. more power to his restaurant. Thx Mark for this video
Dude you are the genuine article! You can literally see how excited you are about the food. I'm kinda the same way.
My favourite restaurant in Sydney. I have regular bookings here as it just blows me away every single time I go
I see a wonderful variety of seafood prepred with so mny different seasonings and surely spicey I would imagine. Such an effort by chef Hong and explain all the plated dishes how they re seasoned and cooked. Thank youso much for such an education on these seafoods and the market was fabulous.
Oh my gosh! My mouth was watering! I wanted a bite of the claw so bad!! I'm envious! What an experience!
That chef needs his own cooking channel on YT. Got the right personality for the camera.
Those are some massive king crabs Mark, the seafood is just amazing. What a wonderful experience it has been for you and the family here in both Sydney and Melbourne. Thank you for this great series.
how much does one cost?!
Thank you very much Angie!
thats my go to place now when in Sydney. The chef knows what he's doing
Unfortunately lies about the boats and fish?
Thumbs up to the Chef Mate. I feel I wanna go to the Restaurant now. Great episode video once again Mark. Amazing and truly captures the scenic point of Australia.
If anybody deserves such a gigantic crab experience, it's Mark 😅 He's put in the time and dedication over the years, and this is just one proper reward. Looks insanely tasty!
The crab disagrees.
* doesnt work a job
Chef Dan absolutely knocked this one out the park, what a meal! This is how you do it when Mark Weins come to dinner
Wow! Look so delicious! Will definitely have to try this place Mr Wong when I go to Sydney.
Thank you Mark. This makes me so proud of my home city!
Cuisine brothers having a good time!
to everyone, pls keep pushing in life and never give up. can't wait to see you successful one day and May God Bless You! 🥰🙏🏻🙏🏻
🥹😩🤩♥️👍👍👍👍
*Thanks to Mark Wiens and his crew for showing us all these entertaining and educational videos Thanks really*
Chef Dan is a well respected Chef in Australia. He was a guest chef on one of the earlier Masterchef series. One of the best episodes to watch!
I never wanted any crab like I do now watching this. Mr. Wong, you are very smart and it shows in your hospitality and cooking.
Wow, what a gourmet feast!!! Wish I could have joined you two!!! Thank you for this masterpiece meal Chef Dan! And now I got to go and eat… lol 😂
