Comment edited 3/16 to reflect changes with current state: Hi everyone! This video was filmed before the outbreak. Lots of Asian restaurants around the world were being associated with the virus and people were not eating there due to ignorance. Racist comments or jokes about the virus will be deleted. With xenophobia and racism at an all-time high, let's make this a safe space where we can still enjoy Asian food and culture. Things are changing very quickly and government is encouraging everyone to stay at home. Hopefully you can still enjoy this video and the yummy food through the screen! We can only hope for better news in the following months. If possible, support local businesses who may be offering delivery at this time. Much love to everyone

[@toddm2422]

thank you TJ. let's support each other. salamat po

[@toddm2422]

@bang your head its pretty high. it will get worst for sure in the next few weeks. traveling in Asia always been cheap though =P

[@colinsushiboy745]

I still support Chinese restaurants. Even though many are empty these days.

I live in Los Angeles and its so sad because in the 626 area word of the coronavirus scare is closing my favorite dimsum and asian food places. Thanks for making videos like this to showcase and appreciate asian food/culture!

[@CupofTJ]

That is such a shame to hear :( it is the same here in New York. Ty for supporting 🙏🏻

[@minniec.9127]

The same is true of all Chinatowns in North America and not just restaurants but all Asian retail. Some businesses have lost at least 50-70% revenue.

[@RockstarEater]

I do food reviews in LA. You're practically my next door neighbor!

[@martinkullberg6718]

Also here in the Netherlands, a few weeks back, I was buiying bobba tea (or was it taro taro) from an Vietnamese stall, there Whas a groep of Asians sitting there, and some youngsters bycycled by and said: " he bah corona!" At loud Which means "he yuck corona!" It felt very bad. My product I bought was tasty and did not make me sick. I also often buiy belgian fries in the same ally, it's like a small "china ally", but they are not all from China.

[@cm8258]

@@CupofTJ Here in NY too. Awful that all these businesses are hurting. Hate crimes here but thankfully they've made some arrests. The ignorant and racist comments online just keep coming. I wonder about the residual effects, like when Asians are traveling abroad a year later, 5 years later, etc. Will Asians still be targeted for this?

[@oyierem]

CupofTJ and Strictly Dumpling should be together for food tour in PH. 👍😊

The whole time growing up in Metromanila, I've only been once in Binondo to eat as it was considered uncool place. Now all I want to do is when I visit the Philippines again, Binondo will be on top of my list.
