• ... that Bob's Your Uncle, a Hong Kong YouTuber, began cooking when he was a 15- or 16-year-old international student after he found the food from Chinese restaurants in London to be unappetising?

     The article notes: "Q1/ 如何開始煮食生涯？Bob：因為無 - 啖 - 好 – 食！ 細細個去英國讀書，錢唔多，出街食唐餐。肉又無味，炒飯又乾，有時連上枱都唔夠熱‥‥可以點？自己煮囉！煮家庭小菜，蝦仁炒蛋、咕嚕肉等，邊煮邊學。

     From Google Translate: "Q1/ How did you start your cooking career? Bob: Because there is nothing-...-good-food! When I was small, I went to the UK to study. I didn't have a lot of money, and I went out to eat Chinese food. The meat was tasteless, the fried rice was dry, and sometimes it was not hot enough even on the table. What could I do? Cook it myself! Cook family dishes, scrambled eggs with shrimp, sweet and sour pork, etc., and learn while cooking.

• The article is long enough and new enough. A QPQ has been completed. The hook is directly cited. However, I do have a question about the two references used for the sentence "He is married to fellow Hongkonger Ms. Fung (Chinese: 馮小姐)." The first reference doesn't mention in him becoming married in a web translation. As for the second reference, I can't find the Chinese writing of the wife's name in the non-English translation and I am unable to find her name in a web translation. I do see that there is a video in the second reference that might reference it, but won't play on my computer. If you say that it is in the video, I will accept good faith on that.

• SL93 (talk · contribs), thank you for the review! Information from these two sources verifies the sentence:

     The article notes, "Bob叔煮的餸偏向高階，記得大半年前見到有1集，卻是開台以來首次由其太太馮小姐坐鎮，Bob叔說：「就係呢道菜留住左我個胃，再留住我個心。」"

     From Google Translate: "Uncle Bob's food tends to be high-end. I remember seeing one episode more than half a year ago, but it was the first time since the opening of the stage that his wife, Ms. Fung, took the seat. Uncle Bob said: 'This dish saves my stomach, and then saves my heart.'"

     The article notes, "同埋點解佢始終搵同聲同氣香港女生結婚。"

     From Google Translate: "and why he finally found a Hong Kong woman who has the same values as he does to marry".

• Cunard Thanks. I was confused because the translator that Google Chrome uses said "Feng" instead of "Fung". This is ready. SL93 (talk) 04:07, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

• Thank you, SL93 (talk · contribs)! According to Féng (simplified Chinese: 冯; traditional Chinese: 馮), "English spelling variations include: Feng (Mandarin spelling) (and) Fung (Cantonese spelling, originating from China and Hong Kong)". Since the subject's wife is from Hong Kong, the spelling variation that should be used is Fung. Cunard (talk) 04:12, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
• I can verify that the hook is accurate as a Chinese speaker. feminist (talk) 06:31, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
