people will have their own personal taste, some can say good but some cannot. The only things is you go to the restaurant you like.

She also said that, steam live fish never add ginger to it.
Only fish that are not fresh need ginger.

Her theories on her show are surely entertaining.
Usually I do not take those shows seriously, but
there are  certain concepts needed to be clarified.
There were some really good cooking teachers back in
60's and 70's like 譚國梅  李曾超群 but now everyone considers
themselves diva of cooking shows

That's why I compare the high end dim sum in Vancouver (such as Kirin) with a 5 (or 6, no idea) star hotel in Hong Kong. The quality of the food and comfortability of the environment are quite similar (except you can't see the harbour in the high end restaurants in Vancouver). However, the price is much better in Vancouver.

I don't think the high-end dim sum in Vancouver is decent, they are comparable to
2nd. or 3rd. grade in Hong Kong. and except for a handful of restaurant, the tea is
generally low grade. While the middle of the road dim sum are acceptable and
very inexpensive.
Another reason is that the owner/management  are reluctant to use quality ingredients,
good dim sum relied on good ingredients, the low-quality imported pork surely cannot
compare with the fresh pork used in restaurants in Hong Kong.

but we are already very satisfactory as I compared my experience with my 1st trip to Vancouver 15 yrs ago, it has a great improvement already, I am content and please think about those people living in small towns... I still remember the days when we travelled to Kelowna, etc., those Chinese foods were terrible

That is the reason I said the middle of road Chinese restaurants in Metro  Vancouver
are acceptable and affordable.
I do not go for Dim Sum often, but I do know many restaurant operators.

蔡瀾? ok la ... I won't use him as an absolute reference.  He has his bias.

I have been wondering why he doesn't talk about Ah-Yut at all.   (if I'm not mistaken)

What's good to eat in Cow Town other than steak?
