My small town mom got CULTURE SHOCK in Toronto Chinatown 🇨🇦

- Опубликовано: 16 июн 2024
- Toronto has the largest Chinese population in North America, after New York.
For someone who lives in the suburbs just outside of Toronto, Chinatown is a whole different world. We don't go downtown very often as we live in Mississauga. This time, we took Steve's mom for her first ever visit! She got culture shock in her own country! We tried dim sum and bahn mi, and explored the local Chinese supermarket. Check out the vlog.

Your mom’s too cute! She’s like a country bumpkin and you’re showing her the world!
Steve, You have a wonderful mother! She's very brave and she's got the curiosity to try everything. It's a special mom. Good for you!
Steve's mom is so lovely! and she really respect all the cuisines!
I'm Chinese born in Hong Kong but left the city in 1980. Now I live in Brazil. Miss the food in HK so much.
Is Brazil a good place to live?
@@AllyCMa Been living in São Paulo over 35 years now. Not perfect but I like it. I also lived in New York for 10 years. Still like Brazil better than the States.
@@DonnieChoi What a cool story, I'm Brazilian and I'm 22 years old, I'm thinking of immigrating to the USA or China in the future.
HEy, Steve, your mom is the cutest person I've ever seen! Lol. After a long stressful week, I was able to laugh and I thank you for that!
Diane’s first reaction 🙄 to chicken feet is priceless. Hahaha
Hi Steve's mom, you're being so brave trying out foods unknown to you. I'm a Malaysian. In case Steve and Ivana have not told you, here in Malaysia there are tons of lovely European or Western style pastry shops, cafes and restaurants, especially in the cities. So there is always something to fall back on. Not every meal has to be Asian. You can try the local food at your own pace. Hope you'll have a great time in Malaysia.
Wow, it's her first time in China Town after all these years!?!? Glad you guys finally took her there to explore!👏👏👍Hope she has a good time!
impressed with your mum trying new food, bravo!
Awesome 👌great walking tour it was very relaxing to watch before bed. keep up the good content 😀😀.
Toronto looks sooo clean & modern. The street cars are so cool too. Looks like a lovely city. Anyway, when Steve's mom says, this is travel for me. I just laugh out loud 😅. I have been living in KL for 10 years on and off and I still haven't explore the city fully. Once in a while when I do go to places in KL I have never been before, it does feel like travel. So your mom's comment is so relatable to me. 🤭
The market looks amazing!
HI Steve & Ivana, It's good that you're exposing your mum to different cultures and what better way than to start in Canada itself. It does look that she'll love visiting Malaysia and Indonesia. She's a good sport and I can see that she's well loved by your audience. It's a huge world out here and the good news is that she'll soon embark on a journey of discovery with both of you as her personal guide.
Please bring your parents for a south east asia tour and enjoy wonderful food and sceneries. that would be a great vlog
Videos featuring your mom are the best. She is so precious!!
Proud of your mom, Steve ... She dared to discover and explore beyond her boundaries ... Good job Steve's mom ....
Man, I thing your mom is so adorable, gentle and brave. I would never eat the chicken foot!! Kkkkkk❤
Truly enjoyable to watch videos which feature your lovely mom, Steve. She is so adorable 🥰
I think it's so nice how open-minded your mother is :)
0:21 in hokkein we call it BAK CHANG like ketupat usually triangle shape but brown sticky rice with pork and peanuts....so yummy
Hi Steve and Ivana..
Me and my wife are really enjoying yours videos... in special these moments with your mother... furthermore we are learning a lot and training our English with you.
Thanks a lot for share these moments and a huge hug from a Brazilian fan!
Fun watching Diane's day out with jetlag warriors in Chinatown Toronto! Reminds me of my student days weekend in chinatown. 💝
Mama "G" is living the life!!❤❤❤
Hi, lovely charismatic couple. Diane is a remarkable woman. Sweet, curious, genuine, and wise. She gonna love to go to Asia. After cow stomach and chicken feet, she is ready to go. Hugs, synched Later Skaters family.
chicken heart churrasco next?😂
Hi, that is a nice video. I live close to Chinatown and it's a great place to buy gifts. Another nice neighborhood is Kensington Market, my favorite place in Toronto.
Simply the best! What a team!!!
Your mum is so cool!!! 🥰🥰
I really like this video with your mum, Steve. I like to see her reactions!
Your mom is the best!!! We love following you guys and actually started with our first trip to Brazil, almost right before yours. We live in Chatham but am frequently in TO for work, my son (your age) actually brought me to this exact restaurant in China town! I feel your moms pain! Please consider a meet and greet with mom included?
ahaha did you like the food?😅
I used to go here all the time, but haven’t been in a while..they definitely have unique stuff and options
Love your mom she always reminds me of Jann Arden when she talks hope you put her on more
Your mom is so sweet! A real lady.
Best greetings from a roumanian living in Paris, where we almost have civil war..strikes, police oppressions..and a new king Macron !
Oh gosh, l rewatched this interesting video again. I would give Mdm Diane 10 ⭐s for her food tasting/trying especially that chicken feet. Amazing food review from her. Great that she will be visiting that Chinatown again. Good job, Mdm Diane 👍👍👏
Where are we off to next!!! Can't wait!!
ASIAAAA!!!🙌😂
Woohoo! Fun!
❤❤❤❤❤❤ Mom is so cute. She’s brave but hey.. she might like it ❤❤❤❤
Your mom reaction on these food ...priceless. reminds me of my mom back in Romania... she will never try anything new....I have a good laugh.. u are such a good son. I love when Ivana said....just put that foot in your mouth and such it... i had a blast.....😂😂😂😂😂❤❤
Such a cool video! Loved your moms reaction to all the different places you guys went to! Thank you for visiting and making a video on Chinatown! Chinatown is for everyone and I'm so happy to see your family enjoy your time there!
Mum is so sporting to try...😊
The dim sum restaurant you were at used to be two floors (2nd and 3rd). One floor used to be more of a night club setting and I still recall the ceiling on the 2nd floor had individual square foot tiles and each tile had a 3D dragon and phoenix porcelain figure popping out which at the time was considered very luxurious!
Mrs Diane is SOOO sweet! When she said "I don't shock myself"! A MOOD! 😻
Hi, te sigo do Sul do Brasil, cidade de Florianópolis. Acho sua mãe uma fofa e super divertida!
Amazing!
It's great to find this vlog, venturing to the Toronto's China Town, my favorite food hunting place.
Special kudos to your Mom.
I have something in common with you guys... Indonesian-Canadian !
Steve, I think the dumpling piece your mom ate is mixed pork and shrimp filled one, so that it doesn't taste like pork.
love these canadian vlogs :)
Diane have so much mental block on foods and tastes. Steve and ivana are here to open them 😊
3:27 to prep her for some cultural differences for her trip to SEA.... 😆
7:50 awwww.. siumai is my MUST-ORDER dimsum everytime i go to a dimsum shop.. maybe your mom is suspicious about the ingredients which actually consist of pork and shrimp, maybe that's why she said it doesnt taste like good pork.. haha.
8:55 that pork bun is actually charsiu bun, which is honey soy sauce pork bun. also my MUST-ORDER.
13:18 "your head plays games with you".... now that sounds soooooo familiar~ 🤣
14:34 eating chicken feet need some skills!!!! practice~ practice~ eat more~~~~ 😂
0:21 in hokkein we call it BAK CHANG like ketupat usually triangle shape but brown sticky rice with pork and peanuts....so yummy
love the timestamp!!
Simply say it all, Great Video, well done!
Your videos are very nice and cover a lot of different areas in toronto. Ty
The Vietnamese roll is soooo common in Australia
Notice you thought the flour used in the Cha Siu Bau was rice flour. It is regular wheat flower. The bun remains white becasue it is steamed and doesn't get to a browning temperature. Its white jsut like the white bread without the crust. Like your video. She was pretty good using chopsticks.
Someone once told me the tale that, Asian hands are delicate because they only use chopsticks and spoon (for soupy dish) and hands, instead of fork and knives to cut.
Anyway, chicken feet is amazing (they are not easy to prepare btw). And they are also known as phoenix feet (for marketing reason), and the best way to have them elegantly is like what iwana did, you eat them in your mouth, and finally the bones u spill them out on to a spoon. Likewise, you can do the same with steamed porkribs at dimsum restaurant.
I like this sort of vlogs showing these rarely seen street level/behind the scene of Toronto neighborhoods...i'm done with the overhyped touristy areas since such info is readily available almost everywhere. This goes to every destination in the world of course.
You should have had your mom do star ratings!!
BTW: we love her. She’s awesome
Hahahaha.This is not mouth size.Your mother is brave🥰
fun video to watch my dude... happy ramadhan ,. from terengganu.
Part 2 is a must (bring) 😄👍
i really enjoy the cultural difference 😀
i miss toronto, i was there in 2014... long time ago... i lived close to landsdowne station.
Now I know... Steve didn't eat seafood until he did... it's all that Mississauga boy in him...
Mum: will faint at ciken feet...
Good job diane. Chicken feet challenge.
Chicken feet with no bones can be found in Thai cuisine. One of my favourite dish.
Oh, is there such thing as chicken feet with no bones? I jokingly said in the video that it's hard to have a foot with no bones lol.
Now that I think of it, we have 'boneless chicken wings' here in Canada, but we all swear they are just chicken nuggets lol
@@JetLagWarriors yes there is. It’s available in malaysia at authentic Thai restaurants. Texture wise it’s crunchy. Taste wise sweet spicy sour. Quite good
Muito bom 😂😂😂😂.
When I 1st visited Toronto, coming from New York City, I asked my Canadian friend born in Antigua who had lived in NY, where the "ghetto" was. He proudly said it's prohibited to segregate in Canada. Indeed, Canada saved a few run away US enslaved, though they worked for free once saved by Canadian families, but Canada once also had slavery & the Chinese & other groups such as the Native, Italians & the Irish Catholics were also discriminated against, or North American/Canadian cities wouldn't have chinatowns & other "ethnic" pockets, though groups with the same language/traditions tend to cling to each other.
Now I know where all your good natured personalities you’ve inherited from. You’ve a good and healthy relationship with your mom. Your mom is so kind and lovable! 🥰🥰
You just need to nibble around the bones (Fèng zhǎo aka chicken feet). But that dish is very tasty - I always get it when going to dim sum.
Can just eat or steam it if you want to eat it warm. Can also get them in your second home 😂south east Asia
Chicken feet taste very good and it’s so healthy ❤❤❤❤
If I make a terrible food pun, please don’t bahn mi!
It´s really strange when ppl find those kind of food strange hahahaha.
But is good to try everything. Maybe the best food of your life is just a few kms away.
You're right about this. So often, our mind convinces us it's bad before we even taste it. (speaking for me and my family, not everyone :))
@@JetLagWarriors that's understandable. It's the eyes that see first, then to taste it. Food presentation plays a big part but it's the taste that really matters. Some food looks good but may not taste good. Some food doesn't look good but taste delicious!
Dim sum is so delicious!
Eu não teria a coragem dela de experimentar os pés haha adorei
I mean, besides the chicken feet (which is clean, healthier than many parts of the chicken) the rest of the food is not weird. Canada have poutine that is slathered by all sorts of fat, game meat that's a mix of everything and all sorts of pork meals in Canada. Good job for trying it out though. Try some more.
4:16 is the path i take to go home
Can be very shocking
I'm surprised she just leave in Mississauga never been in Spidina
I live in Toronto and have been to this restaurant. $39 for three people? Really? I thought it would be quite a bit more....
we didn’t order much😅
mama nya Steve namanya siapa ? orangnya baik dan sangat sopan
Diane Greg bro.
I was getting Big trouble in little china vibes here
Love from pakistan 🇵🇰
What is sticky rice? That stuff looks like rice dumpling to me
Only hydropower collagen is absorbed
My mom died when I was 6 year old now I am alone
should take her to big Asian mall in Markham .. NO English
Chinese people made it around the world. No other race can do that. Even Africa and Cuba has Chinese migrants.
Travel to the PHILIPPINES......
that’s our plan for end of the year. Christmas there possibly
LATER SKATERS
The market looks amazing!
