    As a Trinidadian, I absolutely loved this. I think Chinese-Trinis are some of the coolest people tbh. I'm from the North-West of the island and I only went to Soong's for the first time earlier this year and I loved it.

    I just finished reading your book, "Have You Eaten Yet?" and enjoyed it greatly. Now I discover that you are also on RUclips and I am enjoying it too! I share your interest in Chinese restaurants and try to frequent them when abroad and engage the owners or employees in conversation if they are not too busy. My family owned two Chinese restaurants in the Seattle area.

    Wonderful stories!! I recently found the book - Have You Eaten Yet? in the library, and it caught me right away at first sight of it. I'll try to leave a comment later when I finish reading the book. Thanks, Mr. Kwan. for doing this. It's a great contribution.

    Thank you Mr. Kwan for making these awesome documentaries. Did you ever make one in Jamaica? Chinese were deeply involved with the development of reggae music, which is how I came to discover the long history of Chinese in Jamaica, but I don’t know how much they influenced the local culinary culture. I’d love to hear some stories from there.

    • @cheukkwan
      @cheukkwan  Год назад +2

      I made it to Trinidad. I have been to Jamaica, very similar culture

      I always thought it odd but foodwise Chinese food isn't popular in Jamaica but yes, the Chinese are in the music industry bigtime in JA, but it's the Afro-Jamaicans who have sll the talent though...

    Do you find it weird hearing Chinese people speak with island accents ?

    • @MySweetAriane
      @MySweetAriane Год назад

      I think it's weird when Asian people have southern accents lol

      @Sango-po5pi Год назад +5

      It's not weird
      They are caribbean, trini people like everyone else. To not have the accent would be strange.
