I always enjoy watching your food reviews AK. I also enjoy watching you enjoy your meals. 😋 This is special that you were able to have a meal from your family's ancestry. 😊
1:56 That looks like a broccoli and cauliflower hybrid, so interesting and cool to see! The clay pot rice looks delicious as well. 😋 Glad you found and enjoyed the food at this restaurant from your family's ancestry. 😎 Thank you for sharing this review, AK! 🤗
Thanks for trying these Toisan Home Cooking menu items from San Francisco. I haven't been doing in-dining or take-out since Pre-Covid. I am sticker-shocked of the menu prices although the portion seems generous for the price paid. I'm speaking as a fixed-income senior here, so please no hate.
That kind of cauliflower is literally called "Taishan Cauliflower" 台山花菜 and is easily found in any Asian market (eg 99 Ranch) in USA. I found it funny that I don't know much about specific Taishan cuisine dishes but I buy that cauliflower at the supermarket all the time and cook it exactly like that (with lap cheong or bacon, etc) and for that reason it's the last thing I would order there, ha.
Beautiful review AK. So glad you could find familiar and delicious cuisine in our town.. 😊 I live a block and a half away and have never tried that place... 🍲🍜 thank you so much!!
That looks really good. That would be a restaurant that I'd like to go to. Neat to see your ancestoral cuisine. Thanks so much for sharing this. Cheers!👍🏻👍🏻 ✌️
I think that could be Chinese cauliflower. I've seen it at some grocery stores but I've never had it myself. I've never seen a clay pot rice like that either.
Its kinda hard because you go into the place that actually speaks your original language. I swear it was like that in New York when i was in Chinatown. I felt like someone was screaming at me the entire time. My parents speak now in English giving up on Cantonese in daily use but they use it to scream at me if i did something wrong or use it to communicate to certain family members as a lot of them can't speak english yet. still i know cantonese at least to a point but really am like an ABC in actual language skills in chinese but english is native level though. I rarely speak any chinese now as i don't really use it but at least i know what people say.
Glad you went for the yellow eel clay pot dish (price was steep, but that's San Francisco, plus enough there to satisfy at least four people). I'm surprised you've never eaten any of the local specialties from your family's home town. I'm sure appreciation of those foods and combinations is in your DNA. Nice video, I'm jealous.
What a small world. My ancestors are from Toishan as well. Not too many of us left. Don't like eel, alive or dead and at $48...no way! But I've had snake before. My ancestors tricked me into thinking it was chicken.
Most of it looked good but I can't bring myself to try eel. It's too snake-like for me. lol It's wonderful though that you could sample the food of your ethnic roots. I think it's wonderful:-)

Thanks for sharing your meals with us!🤗 Both dishes looked wonderful, fresh, & tasty. Cheers & good health to you AK!🥰
You’re welcome! This restaurant was delicious
That rice looks good and your description of the rice makes it sound even better, I would it it with a over easy egg, yum
It was delicious!

Any time!
These dishes are really generous and looks so yummy, amazing, enjoy ❤😊👍
They are!
Fun review. Just guessing: Since the portions looked large & reportedly tasted quite good some went home with you in a doggy bag 😁
Pretty much!
Wok hei . Nice
Our parents were from Hoisan. I always thought that fong cheng was much tastier and juicier and that lap cheng was dry.
I think that could be Chinese cauliflower. I've seen it at some grocery stores but I've never had it myself. I've never seen a clay pot rice like that either.

So true! It was a pricey dish but worth it for the experience!

The eel dish was pricey!
Hey AK, my grandmother is from toishan too
Very cool!
My family is also from Toisan.
Amazing!
Is Taishan the same as Toishan?
Yes
Most of it looked good but I can't bring myself to try eel. It's too snake-like for me. lol It's wonderful though that you could sample the food of your ethnic roots. I think it's wonderful:-)
Thank you so much for watching!
Chinese food ftw
How does the eel in the rice compare to the Japanese version, Unagi Don? Does the eel have bones?
This eel didn’t have any bones.
Those portions are huge. Too bad they don't sell smaller sizes.
Definitely had some left over!
Fun fact: Taishan people actually are the earliest asian immigrants. The pacific railroads were built with sweat and blood of Taishan people.
