Is the question, "The food you want to eat but cannot eat here."

or "The food has better taste over in Asia?"

almost the same la....

If we can't eat here because of lack of ingredients, then there's nothing we can do about it.

However, if we have the ingredients, maybe we should investigate, WHY we can't have it here...

I tried some of the most famous wonton noodles in HK... they're not that good je.. other than maybe more pig oil.

Muck Ngun here is not bad..

Um...in my mind the ones in HK are better. Perhaps I'm actually tasting my childhood memory lah. ;) Plus, the "clam sauce" is special mah! I don't think you can get it here.

I'm sure they have "clam sauce"... if not Mack Un, try Muck's wonton min sai ga.

The dace fish balls in Vancouver is not worth eating, too much filler and the fish taste like sawdust.  However the clam sauce you interested in, is available here at some supermarkets.

how come we have no good seafood here even though we're so close to the ocean?

too cold or something?  or all exported?  weird.
