When the Cantonese teaches how to cook something, you’d better listen cause their food is one of the best in Chinese cuisines. You really have a wonderful family.

It’s such a blessing to live in a time where I can lay in bed and watch a chef from the other side of the world prepare a meal for his family. Take a moment and cherish the sharing of cultures; appreciate every opportunity we have to experience other languages, cuisines, and traditions. This is our legacy.

My husband is cantonese, and I'm Korean. As someone who's not familiar with cantonese food, your videos have taught me so much and enabled me to cook authentic cantonese food to my husband. It brought our relationship even closer as he appreciates my effort (and the foods always turn out great !) Thank you for posting these videos and bringing so much joy and love to our family

"Let me hold him so you can eat." Aight. Grandpa is a good cook and a good man too. How considerate!

When Mr. Lau said, "Eat more, more, more, more". Just reminded me of my late grandpa. That's his form of showing love.

"Let me hold him, so you can eat" my heart warmed

I lost my Cantonese grandfather before I was born so I never knew him. I'm half Cantonese, and he was an immigrant from China to Peru where he met my grandmother. Thank you for uploading these videos. I love Cantonese cuisine so much, and my grandfather loved food. Learning about your dad's life growing up makes me feel closer to my own grandfather. I really want to learn all of these recipes in his memory, thank you so much for the recipes and history!

I love how your dad teaches in cantonese. Really makes me feel back home with my dad again and your family is so adorable! Thank you for this video.

My MIL just had surgery and I wanted to make her something comforting and found your channel. So I followed your dad's recipe almost exactly (I had only pork stock) and my husband said the juk took him back to his childhood in Hong Kong. Thank you for your channel! It's amazing and so lovely.

I followed your dad's exact instructions and made this delicious congee for my twins. Washing the rice 3 times, fluffing the congee with a whisk after 25 minutes of cooking and carefully marinating and cooking the chicken at the end were good tips. As is adding the sesame oil, cilantro and. onions and white pepper at the end. Best home style Chinese diner style comfort food I can now confidently make at home. Please keep posting recipes and stories..and give my heartfelt thanks to your dad and mom.

Your dad's congee looks so good and he's such a natural in front of the camera!

My apologies for being three years late, but thanks for inviting me to dinner. I had a blast.

I'm a 4th generation Chinese from Malaysia and it's really rare to find people who can speak toisanese. For dialects most people speak Cantonese, hokkien, hakka, teowchew. Having learned toisanese from my grandmother, I can only speak that dialect with my grandma cuz none of my friends can understand it, although it sounds very similar to cantonese, given that it is a romanization from it. I'm always really intrigued to meet people who can speak toisanese, like your dad, it's a big plus on top of his good culinary skills xD keep it up I really enjoy watching your videos! Brings back the feeling of home especially now that I'm studying abroad.

I love your food channel. As an ABC myself, you’re really doing fellow ABCs a major service by your great Dad’s teachings (in great detail) speaking in Cantonese; your inclusion of Chinese words, pronunciation and meanings; sharing Chinese culture via your family meals.

My mum is Cantonese, and always made this for us whenever we were sick. I always associate it with comfort and crave it whenever I’m feeling poorly. Mum makes it with pork instead of chicken, and when we were little she used to add a spoonful of Vegemite (we’re Aussie, and Vegemite has lots of Vitamin B!) So good. Thanks for sharing Daddy Lau’s recipe, now I feel confident to make congee that will taste just like my mums!

謝謝劉師傅分享技巧&師傅兒子分享影片。煮了20年的粥，直到這支影片我才知道原來不需要一直攪拌也可以不黏鍋底，以及如何縮短時間使米粒更快速開花。剛煮了一鍋，真的如此！非常開心❤️ 現在我確信廣東人是粥的高手👍: )

How can anyone dislike this? This is pure tradition

honestly really love how you include discussions on life in China, much respect for you and your videos

You format is great, with descriptions of the dishes, step by step cooking with ingredients and recipes, and then eating while discussing the history of your family as it relates to the dish - and all this while posting pertinent vocabulary words regarding the dish and your family's past dealing with it. I learned a lot, and I even took notes. Great video.
