What a beautiful story. I don't think this chef makes much profit at all, even with his small shop and minimal food wastage. It's like some of the videos posted previously...just doing it for the masses.

tt chef is qt old so i think he simply finds more meaning in serving good food to ordinary ppl..

Love the vibe of the stall.

Never knew mentaiko can be so versatile but kinda makes sense I guess it's a useful ingredient if you wanna add an umami rush to anything.

Lol be sure to change audio track to Korean for original sound. I was wondering why they were speaking in English.

HAHA I watched about 30 seconds and was wondering why the video sounded so odd. Thanks for the heads up!
