Janice when i am bummed I watch your vids. When you say "A-K" (sounds like that to me...), it makes my day. You have a happy personality and your food choices are awesome. Thanks for making an old American dude happy! I will always watch your channel! My kids are Korean and I keep sharing your videos.

Hi Janice! My mum put the trail mix in our X’mas stockings and then took them back to munch on 🤣 the food looks yummy! We haven’t been to Costco in ages, but do like their big Swiss Miss hot chocolate packs, pizza, roast chicken, Caesar salad, big box of spinach, loads of nuts for my mum, and coconut snacks for the aunties. Looks like the food court has really changed their menu, hope to try when things are less crazy. As to “chuen hup”, we have been lazy with this tradition, but we used to have lots of candied melon things (sorry don’t remember what they’re called) and gwa zi.. oh and Ferrero Rocher and the chocolate coins and laisee lollies! Stay safe!

I really like this kind of restaurant like your Ginger and Shallots. It's so convenient when you feel for some kind of confort food that you know you will enjoy. I have a Pho place just beside my home and that's where I go when I just don't know what too eat. Never disappointed. Very interesting to learn about your culture, didn't know about Cheun Hup. I just found out that this year will be the year of the Tiger... that's my year! 😸Yeah!

Dear Janice, I really love your videos and appreciate the fact that you want to support restaurants and small businesses during this difficult time. But, just this morning, I saw yet another KZfaqr that I follow post that they've come down with COVID. At a rough count, that makes 28 people that I follow on KZfaq who've had COVID, Two of those people had to be hospitalised. Another two also had close family members pass away from COVID. I'm honestly not sure right now if watching you eat out at public venues gives me pleasure or increases my stress levels. Everyone has to make up their own mind about what they're comfortable with, I guess. Anyway, please stay safe.

This is a pitch but I don't know if this is just my IP address and. I know this is Just a rip off and there are so many of this but try Filipino snacks or Alcohol. That will definitely will give you views. Don't know why but every time that I search Food. Filipino review or taste test comes up. And they are each thousands or hundred of thousands of views.

Ginger & Shallot offers a variety of delicious authentic Cantonese food at a reasonable price. However, the general hygiene of the restaurant is to be questioned. I had a friend who ordered takeaway, only to horrifyingly discover a cockroach inside. He immediately went back to complain, but was abruptly brushed off, with the employee/manager attempting to persuade him that it was a “water bug.” A refund was not issued.

I watched your video years ago when you start and I came back to check it again to check things out. The only thing that I want to critic now and back then. It's how you speak. I don't know if you're talking with a Script all the time (just adlib sometimes it helps ) or you're just not yet comfortable with the camera ,or this is just how you speak because you're previous field is business administration , I also Graduated with a Business administration degree and when you speak like this in KZfaq, I think it's not that good . But if you can get over that or try other things. Because I feel this is just another mid food review channel and there are hundreds of them and you just need to stand out of the competition . You will definitely grow. Just continue to up yourself and your production. Hope you will not be buried like other channels because I know you quit your job for this. This is only my opinion. I don't know if your channel is growing or if your analytics is doing well. But try other things that stand out from the others.

Love this video... but WHY can't you be with Mum and Dad?? You're in Sydney, they're in Sydney... ? Are you all on lockdown again??? But if so, why are you able to go out with friends for a meal... and also having people over to your place? I don't understand?? I'm so confused. And really, it must be so hard not being able to be with your parents. These restrictions are NOT emotionally or mentally healthy. This was a very enjoyable video other than the restrictions portion, and that is not a complaint against the video... it's just a complaint against the "way things are". Keep pushing forward and staying positive. Oh, yes, and again... per usual... I'm hungry now after watching this video.
