Dot Com Pho – Dim Sum in Vancouver
July 7th, 2008 by Michael KwanIt took Stephen Fung a little longer than usual to cut together this week’s episode of Dot Com Pho for no reason in particular, but the ten minutes of intelligent conversation and hilarity are now available for your viewing pleasure.
Seeing how Ed Lau is still in Japan and John Chow is lost in a corn field, we figured that it would be good to hold last Saturday’s Dot Com Pho in a location other than Richmond. Vancouver is a little more central for everyone involved and as much as we enjoy Vietnamese noodles, we also figured that it would be good to change up the cuisine a little. We’ve had Dot Com Dim Sum before and fun was had by all. Nothing quite like MSG and steamed dumplings.
Pink Pearl Chinese Restaurant has been a Vancouver institution for many years. I remember going here for dim sum when I was still a young child. The ambiance, atmosphere, and “cuisine” have remained pretty much unchanged all of these years. Then again, there’s not much innovation when it comes to dim sum.

The reason is because all that MSG made me sleepy and I dozed off the minute I got in the door
And then the mega 30 minute clip had to be sliced and diced. I must have watched it like 10 times before I had enough cut out to make sense. We can’t do that again.
Maybe I should take notes while I watch these things so I can remember all the comments I come up with while watching it…congrats to the winners (I like the “hat” they were drawn out of)
Nice camera work…putting it on the spinner in the middle of the table and whatnot…and the scooter looks pretty cool (for a scooter anyway)
I think I’ll go learn how to use Final Cut when I come home since Stephen seems to take a fortnight to edit a video and John’s are…well, too boring in their editing. Geez…the same music for every single one?
Same music would be fine if it was our own unique theme song. Any freelance musicians want the opportunity?
Hey, that would be pretty cool. If I had enough musical talent I would certainly write a theme song for Dot Com Pho (or whatever the gathering happens to be) but alas, I will have to pass and let someone with talent do it!
I hope I have better luck next time.
