I love the format. Nice to see a Chinese making "authentic" Chinese food. Chef Cheung has a great voice and storytelling abilities. The dishes brought back so many wonderful memories of the Cantonese food I grew up with. Please make more videos for this site.

This video was so therapeutic. simple explanation, calm vibe. I feel like I could do this on a Sunday afternoon 😊

[dennistang]

What an incredibly well-spoken and educated chef. Bring more people like this guy on!

the way this was filmed, the wooden surface, the calming voice, this video was amazing. great food.

[jack]

This is the Bon Appetit that I had always hoped for. A worthy competitor to NYT Food.

Why is Chef Cheung not more well known on YouTube?? Best display of skill, technique, and practice to be seen in a LONG while. Thank you, Chef Cheung, for this presentation.

I love the history thrown in. I love learning about how foods become a staple or tradition. Also the many failed attempts that become legendary delicacy.

[dominiquesunio]

You know he's a legit Chinese chef when he uses that cleaver like a swiss knife.

[kayekikuchi]

This music feels like we’re defusing a bomb. I’m both hungry and tense.

[Ora-DR]

This guy has a mad New York accent! He said "Worder" and "Coaffee" - It's like Brad, but with a deeper voice.

[teriyakitaki]

Totally the way BA needs to go forward. This was so therapeutic and the camera angles were perfect. I loved this BA.

Can we have a part 2 with the making of the dough?

[SLYkutie]

More of Chef Cheung, please! Loved this process and how the dishes came out. Keep this kind of content up!

[MrResns]

I love how he teaches, for example - explaining why pork should be cut that and that size, what it will do to the meat and dumpling and why, not just "cut it in half inch cubes, add to the pan, do this and that". Makes you understand not just remember movements. 👍

[RedJin]

This is probably one of the most informative and entertaining cooking videos I've ever seen on Youtube. I could watch Chef Cheung cook all day.

[tinykass]

Why did I get weirdly emotional while watching this lol?
He's so calming and informative- I feel like I grew up in that kitchen!
Not to mention this was uploaded on my birthday- what a gift! <3

[kletingmerah]

HE IS EXCELLENT!! His knife skill, his rolling skill, his voice, his story.. are just perfect! More of his video please! I’d love to be his student 😢

[brt]

Beautiful and impressive presentation, while diffusing the intimidation of approaching these exacting techniques. I feel like I can watch Chef Cheung's video a few times then try doing it while following along and actually pull off a reasonable result. That tip was GOLD, about adding a little of the filling to the tart and returning to the oven to prevent a soggy crust. Looking forward to more like this.✨

[BrendinoDaBear]

Love this video. I want to see more international cuisine with this style of video. I love the Bon Appetit personalities but I really enjoy how focused this video is on what he is cooking.

[patriciapierson]

I like this guy. He not only cooks well, his voice is pleasant. These are dishes I would not necessarily make, even though I am a cooking enthusiast. He makes it look easy.
