Early and personal life
Uncle Bob was born on 18 June 1981. He began cooking when he was 15 or 16 years old after having moved by himself to the United Kingdom as an international student. Uncle Bob had little money at the time. When he ate at Chinese restaurants, he found the food to be unappetising: the fried rice was too dry and the meat was tasteless. He lamented that the food sometimes was not even sufficiently warm. His first dish was luncheon meat and fried egg and was made for his then-girlfriend. He did not know how to cook at the time and added ginger to the dish. As he began teaching himself to cook, he made fried shrimp with scrambled eggs and sweet and sour pork. Uncle Bob only started enjoying cooking after he returned to Hong Kong. As his wife enjoyed eating, he spent time delving into how to make dishes from different countries. His cooking knowledge is sourced from the Internet. He receives his cooking inspiration from eating at restaurants and learning from how the chefs make the dishes. He is married to fellow Hongkonger Ms. Fung. Uncle Bob met her for the first time around 2007 at Devon House, and they have been married since 25 May 2014. Both Uncle Bob and his wife have worked in advertising. Uncle Bob is a strong association football fan who has travelled to numerous international stadiums to watch his favourite team.
Uncle Bob, who had studied and lived in the United Kingdom for numerous years, moved to the United Kingdom.
