Uncle Roger Review FAVORITE FOOD MOVIE (God Of Cookery) 

Uncle Roger evolved even more from roasting chefs mainly Jamie Oliver to reviewing Food movies

As a Cantonese-speaking person, I just LOVE that Stephen Chow is still getting recognition even after all these years. His movies defined many of us Canto kids’ childhood. That’s why he is always the comedic GOAT.

One of my fav Chow movies ever. The scenes where he gets pummeled by the 18 Brassmen of Shaolin never fails to crack me up. That’s where he learned how effective of a weapon the simple folding chair can be. 😂

I'm from India and people here are very familiar to Stephen Chow's Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle. But it wasn't until covid that I discovered this gem of a movie. I don't know how many times I must've watched this (in Mandarin/Cantonese). The movie like it's dishes transcend ethnicity.

Fun fact: The actor who plays the guy who trigger the explosive is called Ng man tat. He and Stephen chow acted a lot of movie together and is known as stephen's sidekick in many movies. My fav from the pair is Fight back to school. Ng Man tat unfortunately past away 2 years ago but Stephen Chow still is alive. The pair was basically the god of comedy to us Cantonese speaker.

As a HongKongese, I would like Uncle Roger explain more about the unique way of Stephen Chow used to cook rice. It is called “Bo Jai Fan”煲仔飯. Literally means rice cooked in small pot. The pot is typically made by clay and cooked with charcoal fire. The finished rice will have a very specific aroma and a burnt crust in the bottom , which considerably the best part of the rice. They usually served with assorted meat of your choice on top, so the fat and aroma will zip down to the rice. Don’t ask for a vegan dish please coz we Hong Kong people also allergic to vegan. So weak…. If you want to get this Bo Jai Fan dish in Hong Kong, just visit Temple Street in Yau Ma Tei area, easily accessible by tube. And you will found in between all those prostitution and brothel, there are also quite some shop selling Bo Jai Fan with other seafood dishes.

I love how old movies like this that portray kung fu as both martial arts and magic, pretty much real life shounen manga, always a blast to watch

Oh. My. God. I've been looking for this movie since 1997! I remember seeing it with my grandmother on our flight to China but never found out the name of the movie and had almost started to believe it was some wonderful fever dream or something 😂 Thank you!

I love the fact that everyone seems to be having a blast filming this. The actors seem they are trying not to burst out laughing in half the shots.

"Technically Jamie Oliver food can be called "Buddha Jumping Wall" also just in the opposite direction, He jumps over to get away from food" LMAO that part got me man. Uncle Roger never fails to make hilarious jokes about Jamie Oliver

3:13 I like how you casually passed over “dog-beating sautéing” 😂

This movie needs more recognition. I loved it way back. Still love it now. :D

4:39 When Uncle Roger said that "They don't make movie like this anymore." I can say that sad but true, we are living modernity.

OMG! As a Filipino, I remember watching this movie as a kid, but my parents never told me what the movie title was. Now watching this scene again and finally knowing the title of the movie makes me wanna watch the whole thing again. So much memories! 😊

Oh my god, its these old and iconic movies that we all love *sob* *I LOVE UNLOGICAL MOVIES*

9:53 this is so true, lmao may auntie is working at hongkong for a long time, and we have these vase at home with flowers

As an Indonesian, Stephon Chow's movies were childhood memories. This particular dishes is so mouth watering, it's the most unforgettable moment in the movie.

FINALLY, ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES OF ALL TIME GAINING RECOGNITION. Tnx Uncle Roger, most of the Western world have not yet heard of this masterpiece.

This movie used to have an English dub on Netflix It has since become removed and is now lost media that doesn't exist on any platform or media form , Maybe if everyone reached out to nigel about the movie he could possibly get some momentum in getting that version brought back so everyone could once again enjoy it. It was quite the comical masterpiece that is sadly gone to time Rip god of cookery english dub you are missed.

That’s where he learned how effective of a weapon the simple folding chair can be

as an asian, I can confirm that our kungfu editing magic can turn even raw poop into exquisite dish worthy for 5-star restaurants in 2 minutes

It might sound crazy but Uncle Roger finally ended up my 6 year journey of finding this movie. Finally, I can rewatch the movie. Thanks Uncle Roger.

This is one of my favourite Stephen Chow movies. It's nice to see this movie getting the love and attention it deserves. Thank you!

U made my day!! And I m gonna watch it again tonight!!

as someone from hong kong, i can confirm the audio is much more entertaining than the actual subtitle.

'That why uncle Roger support my local black market.' That line was epic tier funny.

6:09 got me every single f-ing time!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

OG chair hitting right there

I miss Uncle Tat. Also, folding chairs make such a great self defense weapon. I remember seeing a news report where a shopkeeper stopped a robbery by smacking the perp with an identical chair. They even showed the scene from the movie as reference!

Uncle Roger seemed so genuinely happy in this video and it melted my heart.

this is amazing. why the hell are we not getting more god of cookery movies??

Best thing about uncle Roger's videos is that they teach you Asian techniques while also providing entertainment 👍

Kung fu hustle is so popular, and Shaolin soccer was most peoples first exposure before that. Between this and king of comedy, people don’t realize how funny and endearing Steven Chow can be. Good job, Uncle Roger!

Uncle Roger must know at least more than 3 languages at this point, he knows Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Malay and a little bit of Indonesian. That's the benefits of being a Malaysian! Also, RIP Uncle Tat.

One of your best videos :D I had a great laugh thanks for that !

I will b watching this genre for a while to come. Thanks unc

I know why this guy won with a simple dish. He used just the right amount of MSG when noone was looking ;)

4:12 that laugh 😂😂

your comedic timing is impeccable "Good country good country" I was ROFL 😂😂😂😂 Uncle Roger I'm your fan from India 🇮🇳 pls make a video on "village cooking channel"🥺

Congratulations on 8M subscribe I hope you can make more funny videos

4:19 Yup..this is Master Chef Asia...Unedited Version

9:00 "That Rice Done in 1 Minute. Uncle Roger need to learn ...." *Microwave 1min Rice Packet Enters. Uncle Roger, "Not you"

We're just gonna gloss over "Dog-beating sauteeing"??? That's the best line

I remember watching this as a child. Such a banger

In Cantonese, it actually means their skills are such amazing as chopping with Heaven Sword or the Dragon Saber😂 The naming idea comes from a famous Hong Kong novel called ’Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber’, and they are the unrivalled weapons in the plot

Steven chow perfected his signature style of filmmaking (over the top action sequences with comedy both showcasing and making fun of kung fu movies ) with this movie . Both Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle came after this movie . Thanks to Uncle Roger this forgotten masterpiece is going to get a resurgence in popularity . 😊

This is like live-action anime level action done right.

I love that pretty much every single person Uncle Roger has reacted to, has at some point responded and even collaborated. All except for one man, whose silence is as deafening as when he shouts "YEA-UH!".

Love you Uncle Roger! Thank you for getting me to buy a wok and msg!

The idea of someone mastering Kung Fu so much that they become magical is already a fun Chinese movie trope (like the flying) but it's even better when it's applied to food and cooking! I love her panic at the idea of never being able to get that dish as good as that ever again.

Stephen Chow, who also made Shaolin Soccer and possibly more well known, Kung-Fu Hustle, is an amazing director and does most of his own stunts iirc. Amazing work to both of you!

We need more Jammy Olive-Oil videos. Also, these reviews are too good 😂

I remember clearly our local TV channel used to repeat this movie up to a point I can memorise the storyline. It's one of my favourite 90's movie too and sadly they don't make movies like this anymore. Once Upon a Time in China and Fong Sai Yuk are on my list too.

I love Stephen Chow movies. I like the part where it looks like the guy is meditating but he is being carried out of the cooking competition. This or Shaolin Soccer was my first movie by him. I worked at a Japanese restaurant owned by Taiwanese people.

This is hands down one of my favorite movies! 👍

ive been watching this since i was in grade school and still rewatching this after all this time

Kung Fu Hustle, Shaolin Soccer, and now God of Cooking....the amazing power of Kung Fu can even season and marinade food in seconds.. ;P

I saw this movie years ago having little context about this type of film. When they ate the meatballs and started gushing gallons of liquid from their mouths, I was a little shocked. My wife never looked at me the same again.

Jumbo seafood restaurant is closed and sinked forever. How ironic.

When he say "There no kung fu out there that can defeat Asian mum slipper" I died laughing

In Taiwan, we have slightly changed the ingredients of Buhdda Jump Over the Wall, we don't put Jing Hua ham, we put taro, rib crisp and quail eggs instead.

This is one of my favorite Stephen Chow movies. 100% correct on no more movies being made like this. 90's had some of the best cantonese comedy movies.

Iconic movie! This and Eat, Drink, Man, Woman, are two of my favorite cooking movies of all time

Ye I watch that 10 times and still enjoy it

You have missed out how cultural signaficant the "folding stool" is to us from Hong Kong. How multi-purpose it is, way to sit and way to fighting.

"They don't make movies like this anymore." So true. Movies nowadays focus on how to make it look good and no longer on the fun of it.

Congrats on hitting 8M subscribers uncle roger🎉

Dang, now that's something i need to watch

It's like Food Wars, but more wild. I'm loving this.

The Haiyaa Special is super good. I've never purchased anything from Moment before, but it was really easy and the show is hilarious!

I have exactly this movie for years by now. ... Love it too

I've watched this a few times, it's really good

It’s my favorite movie about food, mouth watering food, comedy, tragedy costed by evil villains, martial arts, and the most important part: Stephen Chow. Big fan of him, his films are so good and popular in many eastern countries and trust me, he got fans from the generation of my grandparents to my nephews.

Freaking love Stephen Chow. His movies are so over-the-top bonkers and hilarious.

So extra 🤣🤣love it 😊

Yooo. This is a must see film now.

YESSSS this movie is the best! I love Stephen Chow movies! I used to rent them on VHS/DVD when they had questionable subtitles lol. I was so sad when Uncle Tat passed a couple of years ago. Good to see their movies still getting recognition ❤

4:27 AND THE STEEL CHAIR OUTTA NOWHERE

Congrats on 8 million!!!

Shout out from Hong Kong

How have I never heard of this movie before? I absolutely loved kung fu hustle and this is right up my alley. Thanks for introducing me to this, I’m off to go watch it now.

I remember getting God of Cookery on a Hong Kong bootleg DVD like 20 years ago. Easily one of the best Stephen Chow movies, on the same level as Kung Fu Hustle. This fight climax doesn't even touch the absurdity of it. Sister Turkey's meat tenderizing, Pissing Beef Balls, The Buddha of Wet Dreams. Super excited to think about all the people who will be discovering this classic for the first time.

Sooo... When will Uncle Roger make this dish? Am waiting. Also thank you for leading me to this movie, I knew of the Kung fu soccer but never knew he was so popular, I just watched the video because of you. Thank you for enlightening me, am gonna binge watch a few vids now

So Entertaining I Love it! Tyfs!💯👏🏾😁🤣🤣🤣❤

6:30 Sorry uncle roger, the restaurant is under in the middle of the water now :(

1:01 i laughed at uncle roger saying jamie oliver’s food can be called buddha jumping wall but just the opposite way just that the buddha will jump over the way to get away from the food 😭

Buddha Jumping Over Wall (佛跳牆) is one of my all time favorite Chinese dishes. I remember my parents ordering it at every expensive Chinese restaurant in San Gabriel, California. Great fond memories.

Congrats for 8 mil subs

6:57 Dr. Law Ka-Ying. He is bald, so he often wears wigs. He got honourary doctorate for services to Cantonese Opera.

That moment when Uncle Roger calls Stephen Chow "Nephew". The audacity 😂😂😂😂

As a Cantonese speaker this is perfect for me

Been looking for this movie for so long was on Netflix here long time ago I miss it

3:43 first time i've seen uncle roger laughing while reacting (he usually laughs at his own joke in bloopers)

9:39 uncle roger: so he making char siu egg me: holy shit that guy still alive...

My favorite food movie actually is not a food themed movie. It's Eat...Drink...Man...Woman by Ang Lee. Oh God, the opening scene where the Dad makes a feast for his daughters is just ahhh...chef's kiss!!!

It would be funny to see Uncle Roger react to all of Kung Fu Panda’s cooking scene from 1-3

11:14 That's what it called "ANIME BACKGROUND VIBES". Only this Stephen Chow movie can make that over dramatic Anime reference scene🙃

4:05 I remembered him as uncle Tat (from Back To School series I guess). Ah good one.

You Issa killing me uncle Roger 😅😅😅😂😂😂😂

Now thats some high-quality Editing
