"When you young people get home from work" -- that really warmed my heart! It genuinely feels like he cares about us. I love that.
-
Mate, your dad is an absolute, dead set legend... This just popped up randomly in my feed and I will now fall down the Daddy Lau rabbit hole for more amazing stuff!
-
I love how you are documenting your father's talent. It is the utmost form of familial respect. And for us, the viewers, his knowledge is priceless. Thank you so much!

Pro tip for ginger: if you are lazy — ehm, I mean, short on time — like me, or if you’re just not good at mincing ginger finely, grate it instead. “But wait!” you say, “every time I grate ginger it clogs the grater with strings!” Here’s the actual pro tip: freeze the ginger first. Then grate it frozen using a micro plane grater. It will produce perfect ginger snow that melts into ginger paste by the time it hits the bowl.

As a canto speaker who lives away from home atm, its so refreshing and nostalgic hearing a cooking recipe in chinese, it's like watching my dad cook <3 edit: i might be trippin, but i hear some of the taishanese intonations from mr lau, and the fact that i speak the taishan dialect made me feel like i was listening to my dad teach me the recipe himself
-
This recipe is INSANE. So good. I have spent many recipes that take 3 times as long that don’t even come close to all of the different characteristics this dish has. Bravo. The wine step at the end is absolutely key. You can really pick up how it effects the dish
-
Although I can’t understand what the dude is saying, as I’m from the UK, I could listen to him tell us what to do all day! Thanks guys 😊
-
Man I know it's unlikely that anyone involved in the making of online food videos are really truthfully saying that whatever is contained in it is the best thing they've ever tasted, but this actually might be the best chicken preparation I've ever had. Thank you for sharing this.
-
最近發現左呢個Channel，好中意劉爸爸去一路煮一路解釋點煮，令我諗翻起自己爸爸嘅感覺。仲有廣東話同繁體字真係好有親切感，希望你地可以一直咁拍落去！
-
Tell your dad he's doing a great service to humanity!!
-
I've watched hundreds, maybe thousands, of cooking videos and this one is in my top ten all time. Thank you so much for producing this video and thank you Chef Lau for sharing his expertise with the world!
-
I love the authenticity and honesty in this video. No edits or smart video effects makes it so refreshing. Family cooking is always the best. Thank you very much.
-
This is one of the most wholesome family cooking videos I've seen. Especially seeing the simple yet valuable knowledge being passed down to a new generation. ❤ Thank you for this feel good yet informative and educational video today.
-
Evening out the thickness of the cut is genius! Your father does everything with meaning.
-
The inclusion of the whole family just makes this so much more interesting. Nicely done! 🙂
-
Your dad's insights and tips are just amazing. They turn affordable meals into feasts. Please send my gratitudes to him for showing us so many useful things. Greetings from Montreal.
-
I have been cooking seriously at home for almost 10 years and your dad just showed me how to make bone in thighs work (de bone, butterfly and most importantly cross cut them) Thanks Daddy Lau!
-
Dude, I never had much contact with my Dad as a youngster. Having Daddy Lau teach techniques and the recipe is such an enrichment. I enjoyed the family dinner setting at the end, as if I was part of your family too.
-
Just made this as a novice cook and it turned out beautifully. I did make some changes: -I added some crushed chili powder, red pepper flakes, and a little bit of paprika in the sauce, for just a bit of spice. - I also didn't have oyster sauce, so I made do with a little more soy sauce -Didn't have any wine, but I did have rice wine vinegar. I substituted that for the cooking wine and added a bit more sugar to compensate the extra bitterness. Even with those changes it was great! Great video!
