One of the World's Best Peking Duck | Visiting Vancouver's Chinatown

- Опубликовано: 8 янв 2022
- As the new year begins, I look forward to going to visiting many new places and have been reminiscing on the buffets I've dined at over the last year. The Dragon Pearl in Toronto was fantastic and so was the amazing buffet in Queens New York; all of whom served Peking duck, and this spurred on my craving for some crispy, juicy, fatty Peking/Beijing Duck.
Luckily in Vancouver, there is a wonderful place for such a magnificent feast. Quan Ju De is a world famous Peking Duck restaurant with the first restaurant having started over 150 years ago. Serving approximately 2 million ducks a year, I was about to add to that number and make it 2,000,001. QJD opened a branch in Vancouver and I am grateful to give it a try. It also gets better because I'm joined by my two very good friend, Monique and her daughter Harmony.
But before meeting up, I thought I'd get Harmony some sweet treats and that would take a visit to my favorite donut shop which just happens to be in Vancouver's Chinatown. While exploring the Chinatown area, I worked up a bit of an appetited and happy to have found new stores opening up; one of which was a Singaporean Restaurant with great Laksa, Singaporean coffee - copi, and a fantastic pulled tea - Teh Tarik

Tim, your videos bring me levity and joy every time you post! May sound like a bit much, but your videos bring me relief and happiness in this challenging time. Love your kindness and positivity. Thanks for sharing with us and keep up the great work! And keep eating well!
Hi JP, thank you so much for reaching out and it really means a lot! Likewise, getting to share the videos and interact gives great relief and enjoyment for me also. Thank you again and take care 😃
That was fantastic. Thank you Tim.
@@dianecranker6026 thank you... I keep thinking back to A Christmas story when I see the duck 😉
This is my favourite food channel. Tim is the most respectful and happy person I have ever seen, his mother and father done very well raising him, I’m sure they are very proud.
Just having fun with the videos and really grateful to be able to share these experiences. Thank you for your very kind comment!
@@TimLeeLetsGo you sure are kind .
Nobody does international cuisine like Canada. So delicious.
So sweet of you Tim for getting your friends daughter a treat 🥰
I would love to give you a treat Mrs Lindstrand. 😘
When tim says pungent tasting goose flippers does he mean stinky?
Seems because you are so knowledgeable about food I got the impression of Chef😮
Warmest greetings from Vancouver canada! You're very kind, but not a chef.. I work in the software industry... But have lots of practice eating 🙂. I got a chance to visit Texas in the Houston area and thoroughly enjoyed it
I LOVE IT when you said “its an acquired taste, and I am still acquiring it” lol!
First time watching but he has to be the nicest person in the world
Thank you for your very kind comment Lawrence, just having fun here 😉
Thank you Tim! Just gave me three good reasons to go into YVR Chinatown!
Great video Tim, My Wife is HK born Chinese, I am Gwailo, We have eaten in almost every Chinese restaurant in Vancouver, but missed this one. We will go soon. Our favourite for Peking Duck is Floata in Chinatown.
My wife Rebecca and I love your videos! We have just recently found out about your videos so we are catching up on your older videos too!
Ugh. I need to stop watching your videos at night. I saw your bowl of laksa(?) and that made my stomach growl. Can't wait for the next food adventure!
LoL ... Thanks Tony. Nothing beats a nice warm bowl of laksa late at night or on a cold day 😋
Very love to watching your video , nice restaurant and alway good food
Thank you so much 🙂
Hi Tim, thank you for the reminder of how great Peking Duck tasted. The last time I had it was over 35 years ago in Oakland Chinatown. You’re such an inspiration and positive person and so kind hearted. Have a Happy New Year and take care
Hi Lydia, thank you so much for your kind comment. Wishing you and yours a great new year. All the best, 🙂
Very cool!
Thank you 🙂
Awesome Highlight! I featured @Juke Chicken in my food blog to Chinatown, highly recommend next time!
Tim when I watch you speak you are truly stopping and smelling the roses in life keep making your videos!!!!
What's even more amazing was that you managed to not get any food drippings on your white sweater.
I was surprised too!
Tim love Peking duck n donuts looks delicious. 😍 from Edmonton, 😍listening to you, you are sooo polite
Terrific video as always, love your food reviews Tim. Keep them coming.😇
Thank you so much for your kind comment and your encouragement 🙂
Ooooo so fancy! What a beautiful restaurant and how nice to get to dine with old friends again! Everything looked so delicious, I get so much joy out of your videos.
Great video Tim! Harmony and I really enjoyed dining with you and being your guest 😊
Did you finish your donuts yet?
Yes, the raspberry donut was our favourite 😋
Harmony is precious. You must be proud.
Nothing better than a properly prepared Peking duck!
Thanks Kurt, that Peking duck was quite nice indeed 😋
You make me so happy Tim. I ❤️ your smile and friendly face. Please keep the videos coming. They are awfully enjoyable. Makes me so happy. Thank you.
Thank you Tim for another outstanding review and showing us more of the great eating establishments Vancouver has to offer.
Tim is extremely friendly and courtesy, you feel very comfortable with his soft yet very clear introduction of foods...keep on the good spirit....
Hi Tim, we were sitting behind you! Good to meet you there! The Peking duck is amazing!
You have to be the nicest person in the world. I wish you all the best in life. I enjoy all your videos.
So much fun watching. Great video. Bless you Tim 🍜🍜
Hello Tim always waiting for your videos love them
I love Peking duck. When I lived in China, we would have it a couple of times a week.
Whoa David! That is a lot of duck 😋. It would definitely be too expensive to have it that often here 😉
You really went all out to spoil you friends. It looked very nice.
It was so great to be able to connect with each other again... The donuts were really meant to spoil Harmony.. and I hope that was accomplished 😉
i'm very love your video with your beautiful voice
Such a pleasure to watch you. Love this format.
Can't go wrong with the Peking Duck! Another fun video, Tim!
Thanks Bill and Lisa! Hope things are going well in LA ... It stopped raining here, and hopefully it's not raining in LA 😆
A great selection of dishes...and the lobster one, heaven. ... Cheers...
What a wonderful meal!
Best food in Vancouver is on east side and the thousand off homles on street give you the best food you ever have, your appetite is huge 👌
Alright, Tim, my mouth is watering just watching you and your friend Monique and her daughter having this super yummy food. Great food video ever!!
Thanks Daniel, it was quite nice to meet up with the friends. All the best of you and yours 🙂

Thank you so much for reaching out! Just having fun and grateful to get to share these experiences 🙂
Hi Tim,
I absolutely love your videos. I've been watching every night for the last three nights. I can get enough. Thank you
Another amazing video Tim!! ❤️
Tim I find your videos really entertaining as if I am there with you and can taste the food myself! Keep up the good work of entertaining your viewers. All of us are raring to go and try these places you have visited once we get over this unfortunate pandemic event. Keep safe as always!
That was an impressive meal! I would love to travel there just to eat at QJD! The Laksa, hot drinks and donuts looked scrumptious at the other place, too! I love how thoughtfully you had treated everyone and the way Harmony poured tea for everyone. Everything looked clean, stylish and elegant. The service was excellent and even the waiter looked really beautiful! Everyone in the video looked gorgeous! I feel happy after watching this video! This Covid lockdown has made me appreciate how nice it will be to go out and to enjoy the company of friends and a fine meal. Thank you for making this great video!
Love it! Vancouver, I am coming! 😀😀😀
Vancouver welcomes you with open arms 🙂
Best video yet! For a Happy New Year Tim. Looked so elegant and
Delicious. Look forward to next!!
Peking duck is my favorite! 😋🤤
ALL THE FOOD LOOKED WONDERFUL THANKS

Very nice food… outstanding watching 🥰🙌👏🏻👏🏻
I have to try that Mello doughnut place next time visiting Vancouver. Great vlog Tim!
That was another great video. Happy New Year to you and grateful that you are keeping the videos coming despite what's been going on. Cheers!
Hi Arthur, I'm very happy New Year to you and yours also! Hope you're keeping safe and well. Certainly been keeping up with the vaccines and booster here and quite mindful of the situation.
Cool name "Nancy Go Yaya" great breakfast. QJD, WOW 150+ years!? Beautiful interior. Not to mention the delicious Duck, there's so much authentic to choose like those noodles and wow lobster soup🤩 Another delicious Hit.
Best Wishes, James and Kim ❤
Excellent video and happy new year Tim!
I love your calm and genuine interactions with the staff. You gained a new sub in me. Take care and looking forward to more food videos.
Thank you so much for reaching out. Just really having fun with the videos and enjoying all the great interactions here on this RUclips community 🙂
Spent 2 years working in Singapore in the late 60's really miss the Makan stands and the food...
Duck flippers are too wild for me. Peking duck looks amazing. 2 rounds of dessert works for me especially the strawberry and cream donuts. Yum!
Tim, you keep increasing my bucket list of restaurants to visit. lol
Tim, tim, tim... You took all the good stuff off the top of the dessert soup....
Tim, another awesome establishment. Those Goose flippers looked nearly as good as my chicken feet. Young Harmony is a joy to admire. Exquisite food paled in comparison. Ahh Decades... Great tasty food. Best
Excellent review! Looks like I have to make the Trek to Vancouver. Its 20 years over due!
I'm doing well, thx for asking 😘🤗💙
You makin me hungry again Tim.Keep up the good Vibes brotha 🤙🏼
Thank you so much 🙂
Hi Tim it look so good to me. Good morning by the way……. It’s 1:05 am in California couldn’t sleep so I decided to watching on my RUclips and saw your vlog. Smile. You have a good week! Tim
Hi Tim, I hope you're doing well!

The kindest Food Blogger on YT ! 🥇🏆💯
I really enjoy Peking duck very much. This food looked so tasty. Cheers, Tim! ✌️🇨🇦
Hello again tim i must say you hit another home run with your selection of this restaurant. Planning a trip to Vancouver by train and this place is on my list thanks to you my friend!!😁😁 hope you're doing well and staying safe covid numbers are surging up all over so please be careful. Thanks again for your videos
Thanks again Calvin! I think that train ride would be quite amazing. Yeah, quite mindful of the situation with the covid numbers. Trying to stay healthy and all boosted up...
Visiting Vancouver and Toronto in September all being well so looking forward to it
Another fantastic video Tim! I've heard excellent things about QJD from friends - will be visiting soon!
So awesome. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
Thank you T! I hope you're keeping well also 🙂
Great job tim keep it up.
We do miss visiting Vancouver. Your video captured the uniqueness of the delicacies and presentations of the food. We wish New Jersey has such similar establishment. Kudos to your professionalism.
Thanks so much for reaching out Karina! Oh, would love to visit all the great places in New Jersey also.. certainly been getting a lot of suggestions from people on this RUclips community 😋
Happy New Years Tim.
New Year a lot of new food and fun!
很久没有外出吃饭了。这个视频让人垂涎三尺，真心期望疫情快一点过去。可以和朋友们聚会大吃一顿。Tim在视频中的品尝美食，得体又不失过瘾。介绍也很赞，喜欢。
I went to the website, looking for ideas for my next visit to Vancouver, to visit my foodie son and son-in-law..... all of us huge fans of Peking duck. Yow!! I had better save up a few more pennies! Looks absolutely amazing
Great to hear Mary, and hope you will be able to visit Vancouver soon! There are so many places that have great Peking duck and much less expensive ones too! Basically, they're all really good and you can't go wrong either way. 😋
Nice to see you dining with two lovely ladies
Really enjoyable afternoon with some really good friends 🙂
Tim love your food videos...
You're such a great friend
I'm very fortunate to meet great friends in my life
My fav. late night food in the K-Town NYC, a whole Peking Duck and Sapporo.
You made us wait 25mins for the donuts 🍩 CMON MAN
全聚徳的烤鴨看來很好吃。
Harmonys mom better be ready to battle all the teenage boys that come knocking! Love your videos!
Finally you tried the duck skin + sugar, lol. The ZhaJiang noodle is one of Beijing's specialties.
Thanks for the video Tim! Its a pleasure watching with all the positivity that you are showing! If you don't mind me asking, is this your main job?
Good guy there.
My goodness Tim ...it's so hard to watch your videos on an empty stomach 😩I'm sure I filled up like half a bucket of 🤤that duck must be the wagyu of 🦆especially if its 98 CAD 😀 I remember you were talking about QJD a while back and it was some crazy numbers ..after that 🦞porridge I'm definitely adding this place to my list. I know my wife would love that "golden" cheesecake. Thanks for the video Tim !
Ty tim...didn't know what laksa was...but now I must try...looks so delicious 😋
I hope you get to try a nice bowl laksa Pat. Very enjoyable and comforting 😋
Oh wowwww 😍
Delicious 😋
Hi Tim, as soon as I saw the words “Vancouver Chinatown” I had to see where you were going. Wanted to be introduced to some great dining places in my old hood. Amazing food in all the places. Peking Duck is one of my top favourites too, can never go wrong on that dish but for that price for only one course of Peking Duck, wow, I better start saving up 😂
Hey Sandra, thanks for reaching out! Glad to know that you were from Vancouver. Things have certainly changed a bit. But still quite nice 🙂
Thanks to your video, now I have to go to get some Peking Duck for dinner tomorrow 🤣 Also, I wonder if Singaporean chicken curry puff is sweet and savory like the Thai version. The Thai version has the same ingredient but it is also sweet and savory.
Wow Tim, love how you hold the camera with one hand and roll up the Peking Duck wrap with the other hand. Another delicious video :)
Thanks Mike and Tom! Really appreciate you understanding how difficult it is to hold the camera 🙂. You guys do an amazing job with the camera work 🙂
That Loch Ness Lobster 🦞 looked Amazing. I'll pass on the Goose Flippers. Take Care, Tim.
Hi Tim . Nice video 👍
Best yum cha in Vancouver
Tim you are a savage! Your videos r the best! Much love from central California
Thank you so much for your very kind comment. Just having fun and very glad the folks here are such good sports. All the best to you!
Another great video, Tim! Yummy doughnuts you got for the second dessert; you are always so thoughtful of others! You were only served the duck breast...what did they do with the rest of the duck? For the price you paid, they should have used the rest of the duck to make other dishes. I've seen other videos where they stir fried the other meaty parts and used the carcass to make soup.
Thank you Sally! They carved up the duck pretty well so we got quite a bit of meat there. They also gave us the bones to pack home for soup! I think that's one of the general ways they do it there, but yes, I do enjoy the multiple courses of duck at other places😋
@@TimLeeLetsGo Glad to know that, Tim. Food is so expensive now and there are soooo many people in this world that is not as fortunate as we are and starving...just hate to see good food go to waste. Keep those great videos coming, Tim!!
Love that song that played in the background. Steely Dan -Hey Nineteen
Thanks so much! That was from a talented individual in Tokyo named Roa
Great video. Tim! Everything looked delicious, especially the doughnuts, and you know those matcha doughnuts are not healthy. They are loaded with sugar and carbs like doughnuts are supposed to be. Lol.
That meal looked delicious! Where I live, people think Panda Express is good Chinese food😂😂. Such a shame!
Thank you Sofia and I hope you're doing well. LoL, I like Panda Express 😋.... And I know what you mean 😉
