- We travelled to China for the first time ever earlier this year. We had really good first impressions of China, including the spicy and famous Chongqing hot pot. We were fans of this Chinese food. So we thought we would bring our mom to a hot pot restaurant back in Toronto, Canada. Check out her reaction of trying hot pot for the first time!
Restaurant: Happy Lamb Hot Pot, Mississauga, 1100 Burnhamthorpe Rd W #17

Having good time with parents is literally a common thing for people around the world, happy for you, and btw, am looking forward to your next tour in Mainland China.
We hope to be back in China soon enough! We are working in getting proper visas now, so we won't have to rely on the 144 hr transit visa.
@@JetLagWarriors indeed, get the 1 month visa, then you can travel to more places without being rushed by time.
144个小时根本不够😁
@@user-pl6qk9nr3l不明白为什么中国给多数免签国仅仅2周，给新加坡也是两周，中国人去新加坡3小时就看完了整个国家，新加坡人在中国玩三年都看不完，随便一个小城市就跟新加坡一样大
@@weizhang2834 哈哈，中国在实行某种事情前，都会有一个地方作为试点，确认方案是不是对的，再全国推广，只要是144小时方案可行，以后会开放15天或者一个月，开放更多的城市
多年前去重庆除了杨记隆府最让人印象深刻的一个餐馆藏在一个小区居民楼16层，关键是不知道如何上去，需要先在网上订位，然后电话通知指路，电梯口别人帮你把电梯按上去，自己什么也做不了。就像电影里的毒品交易情节一样，让人难忘，以至于都忘了美食的味道。❤
Wow, what a restaurant! A memory indeed
The mum’s face in the beginning 😂 priceless👍
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈太有画面感了！😂😂😂
以至于都忘了美食的味道。
Love your mom ,she is like my mom where i made her try new things and now she cooks them especially like soy sauce and spicy things 😅, we are having all the food with a spicy touch now. 😂 Its great to see our parents enjoy moments like this 😄
mom's a trooper for sticking with the chopsticks and trying all the recommendations.
Diane's fortune cookie was so special. Almost brought tears to my eyes
Such a great experience for dad and I. Thank you both. ❤ Keep safe, healthy and happy.
You have great parents!
Agree :D
Your mom are from different generations. Loved to see her reaction everytime she tried something new.😂
You're still doing great in using chopsticks after a few months leaving China. 👍👍👍
Great of you both to introduce Chinese hot pot to your parents, Steve lvana. Looks like they enjoy and love it. Good job, Mdm Diane and Mr Greig. Great and fun experience !! 💪👍🫰
enjoy chinese traditional food 😊
toufu skin is a literal translation. It is actually soy pasty or toufu pasty. Duck blood or pig blood is actually really high in fiber, it is very good for cleaning your intestine.
I like this couple 's personality
Every time after picking up the raw meat, remember to put your chopsticks in the boiling soup for a few seconds before touching your mouth with them.
Steve you have lovely parents ❤ and trying new things 😊
The duck blood you had in Chongqing was probably local and coagulated very fresh, thus the very delicate and fragile texture. You are more likely to see the pre-packaged, somewhat mass-produced firm duck blood like the one you had at Happy Lamb in most restaurants.
I have an American colleague who did not like Chinese food. But after she tried hotpot twice, she started to like Chinese food. So you need to be patient. After several attempts, your mother will like Chinese food.
She didn't like it but she tried fake Chinese food😂 "Chinese take-away"
Make me feel so envious. Wish my parents are still around. The best thing in travelling is together with the family.
happy birthday jetlag mom! 🥳
finally, more chinese content.
We are hoping to return to China, with a proper visa, in a few months
Last time, we were only able to do 144hr transit visa, we want to stay longer!!
@@JetLagWarriors Awesome news! A lot of your Chinese fans have been waiting.
always put sesame oil or sesame paste in dipping sauce
@@JetLagWarriorsI recommend that you visit the Swiss city of Brazil, it is very beautiful and also visit Rio de Janeiro, it was not in the most beautiful places

I remember the steamboat/hotpot Ivana and Steve first had in KL when Steve was not really exposed to fish and seafood😂...so nice to see all back with mum in Canada trying out food and now Steve is expert...😂😂😊😊😊😊😊
You can get a China tourist visa for 10 years with multiple entries. You can stay up to 6 months from one entry. Getting a 4-month stay is fine.
At least let her know her perseverance is admirable.
Seeing your mom struggle with chopsticks 🤣But she's a good sport for trying! ❤
My mom is such a good sport. She enjoys being in the videos, snd we enjoy spending time with her 👍
What a nice family. What can be better than sitting around the table to have a hearty hotpot with loved ones.
Such an adventurous family!
Man , Steve ! You're so , so Asian. We miss you in Malaysia.😐😉👍Like the way you are "never lost".
Nice son. ❤
OMG, it looks like you guys are in Mississauga! I live there, and if I had known you were here, I would have come to see you. We are big fans of your channel.
Looking forward to your next trip to China.
We are too!!
@@JetLagWarriors Recommand Beijing, Suzhou, Zhangjiajie, Kashgar, Chengdu, Jiuzhaigou, Lijiang and Qingdao
oh! It's happy 肖央😘 my favorite hotpot place out of China!
Their golden sour soup is pretty good if you enjoy sourness!
Great video. Welcome you and your parents to visit China again. I recommend Zhangjiajie, which is a very elderly-friendly mountaineering destination.
Love your family food adventure. And would love you guys come back to China later.
We will try and get a proper 10 year visa, and then return to China soon! 👍
your mom so lovely ❤
If possible, I strongly recommend you to go to Xinjiang. Xinjiang in July and August is really really really beautiful.
We hope to be back in China soon enough!!
It's cool that your mom was open to trying this out. Just went to Haidilao Hot Pot over at Woodside Square the other day, loved it. Will be going back to Denmark soon, but I'll prolly come back for one more go before then. Some of my friends dared me to try the lamb brains, so I might actually go for it! They also do this "mask-changing performance" after 7pm. Not sure if that's the case for all of them, but definitely regarding the one over at Woodside.
The sauce is very important to how good your hot pot will be for non-Chinese. You need to experiment with adding different sauce. But sesame sauce, garlic, spring onions are very important.
We eat blood in Sweden 🇸🇪 pigs blood in a cake we call it blod pudding and Duck blood in a soap it called black soap or Svart 🖤 soppa in Swedish.
Haha, I thought you had returned to China! If you come to China again, I recommend going to Tibet and Xinjiang to see the scenery, and to Sichuan and Guangdong to eat delicious food! I wish you happiness and love comes from China❤
Hot pot can really be a hit or miss with newbies, sounds like it was a fantastic first experience!
It was great experience! Surprised my mom tried the duck blood... she really is a good sport!
Most people ain't going to try duck blood
Excellent Video!
Welcome to CHA and mom is so cute ..Have a good trip..
J'ai participé aux courses de bateaux-dragons de Guangzhou en Chine, ce sport est très intéressant, j'espère voir ce sport aux Jeux olympiques
In China, filial piety to parents is the most respected virtue. If you take your parents to China next time, you will definitely get good attention and respect.
Wonderful vid 😄
Huh that's so awesome having a parents and family fun creaking good time together Chains people's is very nice and and Chaina is awesome place to visit guys you should also add the prices of the hotels so that the people's in overseas know where is the cheapest place to stay
Much safe way just all kinds of slice meat, shrimp, non fishy ocean fish, spinach, rice noodle (thinner, Longkou 粉丝), not glass noodle, too hard chewing, not artificial toufu. Flavor all comes to source you choose. I heard you mom say Satay (Singapore style with onion garlic sesame peanut oil turmeric or curry)? Use net scoop dipping raw meat in soup. Use separate chopsticks to pickup raw meat, bc sometimes if you don't put chopsticks in soup, kind of unsafe.
强迫症患者太多，人家喜欢吃什么是每个人的主观感受，无需建议
take your parents to china your videos will be so on fire 🔥
Wishing you all a good appetite, Chinese hot pot is very good. Once again, welcome you to travel to China with your family. Love you all 🥳🥳🥳
I like your mom ❤
Congrats to mom!!!
Wow，Mississauga！
Don’t add vinegar. Please always add sesame sauce/paste to your dipping sauce. It brings out the flavour of the meat
totally
We have the same restaurants in Vancouver, but haven’t been there for a long time… cause I have been going to HaiDiLao.. I found it to be serving more quality hotpot personally. A bit more on the spicy side but also has no spicy choices. Definitely give it a try if you can find one in your city!
wow, I thought you were back to China when I saw the title~Anyways, welcome to CN again better with your monther this time.
Omg, the golden square
Great video xxx
The restaurant looks familier , in Mississauga? I have watch most of your China videos, specially in Xian. It's where I grew up.
Love your mum, she is so cute! I
你的善意会温暖人心！👍
The funniest part is when the parents go to have a Hotpot, and they try. Give them credit. Life is short. As Asians, we eat different cultural foods. This is what makes life more enjoyable: exploring the other side of darkness. We usually feel afraid.
The sauce can largely determine your hotpot experience, and the sauce can be pretty much anything in addition to sesame sauce/oil. Once I ran out of sesame sauce at home and replaced it with hummus, it worked surprisingly good with spicy hotpot, and healthier in terms of fat. Recommend this if you ever want to make hotpot at home :D
Love that Chinese flag shown in the video icon! LIKED!
When you cook something in a large saucepan, be sure to take the soup spoons out of the soup every time!! It's weird whe soup is cooked with a soup spoon!!
we look forward to your return.
Happy fathers' day everyone...
Happy fathers day!!
非常棒的儿子，带母亲体验不同的美食还很耐心的讲解
for hotpot tips, most of food has their cooking timer suggestions for, the meat cant let them cook until floating, overcooked the meat it doesnt tastes good ,it gonna be too hard ....the tofu skill roll called 响铃卷 it only need to be 5-10 second in the hotpot....;> enjoy more and learn more in CHENGDU or CHONGQING of sichuang province.
I was there yesterday!😅😅😅
Bunica is back. Yay.
Haha, lovely !😆😁😄
Welcome to China!
I am from Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
Welcome to my hometown to see the lovely panda!
If you are curious about my hometown, you can ask me, I will answer for you！
u r so kind a person
哇，你妈妈会慢慢喜欢的，多吃几次中餐！
三分钟前，和火锅一样热乎😊
please back to China ❤
很高兴看到你们在回家后的中国特辑视频哈哈哈哈
Did you watched the Euro Cup 2024 Romania vs Ukraine match? It was really impressive!
Essa culinária aí parece ser uma delícia deu até água na boca 😋😋😋😋😋
Please check out Haidilao hotpot, it is the best in Toronto
Such a good son!
妈妈也来啦🎉
凌晨2点多，看饿了，满床打滚想吃。
家庭和睦幸福，百善孝为先。
We eldery people , maybe i try chinese food restaurant
我很喜欢麻辣口味的食物，就算肚子受不了也要吃😂😂😂，吃麻辣食物像吸毒上瘾一样
Your Mom is quiet straight ward that say what she feeling.
第一次见到你的爸爸妈妈。妈妈萌萌的很可爱。祝你们用餐好胃口！看过你们在我们上海旅游的视频，拍的很好，谢谢你们展示上海的美丽！
Chongqing has much delicious food
告诉你一个秘密，开始吃火锅，不要吃太多肉，慢慢品尝会得到更大的快乐，要不然很快就吃饱了😂
Mississauga
@2:35 every sauce tastes better with suntan
😅😅😅
Was it as spicy as the one you tried in Chongqing? Did it taste authentic?
Was not nearly as spicy as in Chongqing. If you notice, the broth in Canada was a bit white/watery in the bottom, and only red on top. The one in Chongqing was 100% red!
@@JetLagWarriorsrecommend haidilao or little happy sheep , the spicy limit between Chongqing and Guangdong, fits most people
下次可以带妈妈尝一尝成都火锅
If Mother can't go to China, then China shall come to Mother!
Would love to go to China sometime with Steve and Ivana!! 😊
The tofu skin roll was way over cooked like 1000 %. You hold on to it with your chopsticks in the hot broth for only 15-20 seconds n no more then that.
The noodles from what I saw looks under cooked. So maybe that’s why your mom don’t like it.. as for the duck blood pudding you need to throw it in right at the start of the dinner… to take in all the flavours of the meal.
And to be safe you should always have 2 chopsticks. One for raw food to cook in the pot n one to use to eat with. Specially with Evana being pregnant and all not very safe!
Yes Potato noodles looks like need to cook 3 more minutes
You can eat beef half-cooked just like having a steak. LOL.
Welcome to bring your parents to China
I would love to do this one day
That would only make
👍👍👍👏👏👏
