Bob's Your Uncle (YouTuber)

Bob's Your Uncle (born 18 June 1981), known as Uncle Bob, is a Hong Kong YouTuber who makes videos about cooking and travelling.

As a teenage student, he travelled to the United Kingdom for schooling.

Uncle Bob started to learn to cook after he found the Chinese restaurants he visited to be unappetising.

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 started a YouTube channel in 2014 at the suggestion of his wife, who worked in advertising.

He makes cooking videos about dishes from numerous countries.

Uncle Bob uses Cantonese slang and Cantonese profanity in his videos.

In addition to sharing about his personal life experiences, he discusses current events and political issues.

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.

He made a video about his experiences renting a place in London.

Netizens suggested that he review the Clapham Place, a new development.

Uncle Bob published a video criticising the building for being overpriced, having terrible amenities, and being next to a busy street.

A lawyer for developer Regal London sent him a letter demanding he remove the video.

Uncle Bob's wife, who worked in advertising, suggested that he post videos of his cooking online since he was frequently cooking.

Uncle Bob, who had prior experience with film editing, followed her suggestion.

He started his YouTube channel on 26 January 2014.

Six months after creating the channel, Uncle Bob had uploaded more than 60 videos, each of which was receiving tens of thousands of views.

The dishes in his cooking videos are from different countries' cuisines and are primarily higher-end.

The dishes he made included oxtail soaked in black beer, okonomiyaki, beer-soaked chicken, rabbit stew made from cider, squirrel fish, katsudon, banana cake, and minced beef claypot rice.

Uncle Bob frequently watched cooking videos from Marco Pierre White and Bruno Albouze and admired their cooking skills and how they were able to simplify complicated steps in a recipe.

He travelled to various countries to teach viewers how to make local dishes such as schweinshaxe from Germany, tandoori chicken from India, and börek from Turkey.

Uncle Bob converses with Hong Kong slang and Cantonese profanity, which he uses during everyday speech.

Bob's Your Uncle was included in the "yellow YouTube circle" list in which netizens promoted channels that supported the 2019–20 Hong Kong protests.

His travel videos include reviews of cruise ships and first-class flights.
