      I totally agree with him. Trust in what you know and you need to take that leap of faith and hope the quality you show in your craft will encourage others to come and visit. Do nothing and nothing will change. If it doesn't work just learn how you can do better and keep trying.

    Gai Wong's food is absolutely fantastic, and Uncle Lip is an all-around lovely guy.
    Wife and I visited for the first time with our little first born during the early months of opening.
    I remember we each got single serve sets, but the food was too good and I had to get more. Got another 700g chicken on the spot and I was a happy man (yes, it's that damn good)
    I recall Philip looking shocked to say the least after I ate nearly 1kg of chicken plus other sides and asked me for feedback and what I thought about the food. I could feel he loved the food and genuinely cared how everything came out and wanted to make sure everyone would enjoy it.
    I no longer live in the area, but try to visit for a meal whenever I'm nearby.
    Best way to describe Gai Wong's food is hearty and comforting, and makes you feel at home.
    So happy to see Gai Wong thriving and thank you for all the joy you bring to the area, and wish all the best for many more years to come.
    Thank you for the lovely video, and I will need to make another visit soon haha.

    That's exactly how chicken should looks like. The pinkish hue is myoglobin, not blood. I used to think it was undercooked this way, but man... it is SO much better?! We've been overcooking chicken our whole life. The internal temps to reach for chicken is only 165 farenheit or 74 degrees celsius. That's like... a very hot bath, roughly 25 degrees short of boiling water (in celsius). It's not that hot at all. It is SO much better, just melthing in your mouth, and the fat is rendered perfectly! Also - I'm a childhood cancer survivor, too! Yay!!!

    Lots of Singaporean and Malaysian students in Melbourne so there’s a reservoir of untapped demand he’s tapping into here. When I was studying there 20 years ago there were Chinese restaurants of course and even a Malaysian restaurant in the same area (possibly still there?) but no chicken rice. Singaporeans abroad miss that dish the most!
