He shouldn't be thanking us, it is us who should be thanking him. I'm very grateful for the knowledge and experience he is sharing.
-
I made the original recipe. I always hated eggplant. But watching the video, it intrigued me. So I gave it a shot. Man was I surprised, I loved it and was very please to have tried it. As for all the other dishes I have tried from Dady Lau I can say 99 percent have been wonderful.
-
Thank you so much for including vegan options to your recipes, we really appreciate you acknowledging not everyone eats animal products but still love Chinese food. It has been amazing learning the techniques and recipes to cook restaurant quality food at home.
-
When Papa Lau was thanking us, I became emotional. I feel the emotions in that short sentence.
-
Your dad is such a great guy. I love listening to him talk about, and watching him cook. Up until he mentioned "ginger" he was doing everything I was taught growing up for eggplant dishes, but in a Spanish tradition. It's one of my favorite vegetables, so makes me happy to see that whether from a Chinese or Spanish perspective, we all know what to do. Much respect.
-
My mum just learned something new ❤ the tip to soak the eggplant in vinegar :) she’s going to try it
-
I love Cantonese eggplant. I make it all the time. I am inspired to chop my own pork! And I love the use of vinegar to take away it bitterness! You go Daddy Lau!
-
Every time I am amazed by how much love and passion your father cooks and how much effort and passion you put into creating the videos and recipes. a big thank you from Germany!
-
I love your dad's recipes. He's such a great authentic cook and is so sweet. Thank you for sharing him with us. ❤

8:00 Aubergine is also its name in British English. I didn't know it was the German name though too. Thanks for showing how to use the common Western type of aubergine, I don't have anywhere that local to get Chinese produce so it would be a special trip into the big city to get some. Compared to being able to buy them for £0.89 in the supermarket (that's about $1.05) here.
-
Your dad is such a sweet humble man. I tried the porch chop recipe the other day and i butchered it. The flavour was so rich..im just a newb and couldnt get it crispy enough. Lots of compliments from my damily tho.Cant wait to try this eggplant recipe. Keep up the amazing videos. Love the eating with family segments.
-
Thank you so much for including the shopping advice. I would appreciate it if you could include more of these at the beginning of your videos. Thank you so much and the Lok family would also like to wish the Lao family good healthy, happiness, and great success!!! 😁😊

This recipe looks delicious. We can get the long, thin purple Chinese eggplants here in 🇨🇦. I'm going to try it with those instead. What a delightful family. Wishing Daddy Lau many more years of creative cooking and introducing us in North America to cooking techniques which have been around for thousands of years. Your father is s truly sweet guy.
-
I really want to make this recipe but I'm going to use the traditional Chinese eggplant because that's what I'm used to. Yum!

Love this recipe … my wife loves it too!
