thinking perfect people
People talk about perfect timing, but I think everything is perfect in its moment; you just want to capture that.
opposites perspective people
People ask me what my greatest strengths are and I say perspective. The best way to get that is to meet people that are polar opposites; you learn the most from them. There are pieces of you that are inherently yours, but everything else is a collection of the things you’ve seen and the people you’ve met.
concerns identify issues opportunity saw
I saw an opportunity to use a restaurant to identify a lot of my issues and concerns with being an immigrant in America, and Asian in America, and a young person in America.
comedian goal life stomp
My only goal as a comedian was to stomp the life out of the model-minority myth.
people
I like being on camera, performing, seeing what people have in common.
I have more to say as a writer than from behind a wok.
america hooks people
I don't think people in America understand race, and how deep the hooks of whiteness there are in our consciousness.
I blog because I have something to say.
taiwanese
BaoHaus is idiosyncratic, creative, and artistic. My restaurant doesn't look like a Taiwanese restaurant.
america chinese dim food goes nfl people rest sundays
Sundays are for Dim Sum. While the rest of America goes to church, Sunday School, or NFL games, you can find Chinese people eating Cantonese food.
change chinese correct majority
I'll always be Chinese first. It probably isn't politically correct to say or something that the majority understands; I can change my shoes, I can swap my passport, but, I'll always have this face.
everybody people
I want everybody to run at the same speed as me. But some people are more conscientious, they think more and they plan more. And they're more careful.
food great open restaurant
I've never said I was a chef - I think I make great food. I will never open a restaurant to do, like, tasting courses.
certain people
I don't like labels. I don't understand the need for them. When you define yourself a certain way, people have expectations.
