Bob's Your Uncle (YouTuber)

(
)
  • ... 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 notes: "Q1：幾歲開始入廚？A1：15、16 歲開始入廚，因為獨自到英國讀書，為了「生存」惟有自己煮！"

      From Google Translate: "Q1: At what age did you start cooking? A1: I started cooking at the age of 15 or 16, because I went to the UK to study alone, and I had to cook myself in order to 'survive'!"

  • 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)
