  • I’m Muslim and don’t eat pork. But why am I watching this video? Because Lucas is the GOATTTT. I’ll watch anything he’s in because I learn so much from him🤩
  • @foodonfire3662
    In addition to encyclopedic cooking knowledge, Mr. Sin understands what people don't understand about cooking. He is an extraordinary teacher.
  • @nansie
    This is the video that all Chinese kids watching their parents cook needed. Explaining rather than being told “just watch and learn / this is just how it’s done”.
  • I appreciate the down to business attitude and not wasting my life with a crazy voice and unrelated material and shameless promotion. THIS is HOW it's done!! 😊😊❤🎉👍👏😍thank you for posting!!!
  • Lucas has definitely become my favorite. There is so much good, useful information in all his videos!
  • @KupCaKeDelight
    I feel the same, I will watch anything Chef Sin is in because he is humbly educational. Explains in great detail and love the pride in Asian cultures. It’s refreshing because finally some one actually knows what their talking about.😊😊😊😊😊 I love it. I never want him to stop teaching and cooking. 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤

  • @nativegurl8886
    I ❤ my boo, Lucas. 😍🥰🔥 Each recipe-video exudes his pride for his culture and his passion for food. Also, his technique and explanation are off the chart. 👏🏾💯 His teaching of the history of food makes it intriguing. I can confidently say I can try to make this recipe. Looks delish. 😋
  • @corgeousgeorge
    Lucas explains things SOOOOO friggin well. I learn so much from him and how he tells us why each ingredient is useful and what to use if you don't have a particular ingredient. The butchering episode with the chinatown butcher was INCREDIBLY informative and helpful.
  • I have never seen orchard of this person before but just happened on the video and I am blown away by the easy steps; the explanation; the history and cooking process. Pleasantly surprised. Well done!
  • @59squares
    Great stuff! Lucas continues to be my favourite food presenter. Would love to hopefully see a video from Lucas on baked pork chop rices (just so that I can copy his take on it) haha
  • @msleecube
    Admittedly, I am not a fan of this dish, but I am here to learn from Lucas. Thanks for bringing your love for Hong Kong Cantonese cooking to the masses.
  • @joeyip4381
    This is not only for workers but it also reminds me what I used to eat at least once a week when I was studying in secondary school. It is so great to find you only Youtube showing people how to cook these local dishes. Thank You.
  • @awoo4875
    Lucas, this dish was awesome. Your directions are spot on. The sauce was delicious and the sliced onions are a good compliment to the dish. Thank you!!!
  • @nkrulez
