Funny hearing Mac’s Cantonese. Because, all in all, his accent is pretty spot on. Yeah, he’s an ABC and he’s not at native level, but Cantonese accent almost sounds “non-street” if you know what I mean.
Appreciate you being vulnerable about your pops and feelings on him, respect ✊🏾 definitely good for your mental health to talk about those things that change with maturity
Brother Mac make peace with your pops, I lost mine at the start of this whole COVID shit. I spoke to him the day before he passed we both spoke and said to one another “I love you and I forgive you wholeheartedly” my pops passed the next morning at 2:45. Even if you have to look for him make that peace don’t leave anything on the table because that shit fckin hurts not to have closure.
I feel your sentiments and much condolences. However, you can’t project your limited experience onto others as each situation is unique. His may not be the same as yours.
All the kids who grew up in Chinatown and went to ps130 across the street in the early 80s knows that the pork chop rice was the thing to eat. They reused the oil for decades and kept adding to it. I bet it's still the same oil 😆
YOO i used to get out of lion dance club at ps130 at 8pm and my grandma picked me up and got me the pork over rice. She always told me the oil is from the 1900s LOL
I remember listening to you tell your story and you said that when you were young you hand some resentment towards your dad and that's why you joined the ghost shadows or something like that. And the resentment came from when you found out how he was using your mother as a drug mule to smuggle in heroin into China Town. You really had an amazing story and you came a long way in your growth into a man
Thank you for bringing so called black and Asian People together to unify and to stick together and stand as one because other nations of people is against us
Born and raised in NYC. I'm rarely down in China Town but for a whole meal for under $10, I'm going to go try this place. I'm eating halal from Uber eats and spent $20 as I'm watching this video🤦🏾♀️
Never lose that Culture Mac. My kids know how to speak Viet even though they only half. They love talking about daddy to mommy little do they know I know enough words to put that shit together 😂
It's nice to see your opinion on your pops changing a little. Even if you don't act on it, it's still progression. I've been a fan for a while, dope to see your growth bro 💯💯💯
I can totally relate to being in a smokey gambling house with old people ..lol...My grandfather used to take me to one of them when I was a 3-4 year old in Hong Kong before I came to the UK .
Sorry about your pops past bro and all of that. You came a long way. I'm always glad to see someone do good especially you bro you help me keep my head cool alot when I was in Auburn. Namaste
Visilia b saeturn... Is between him and the past. That's not what I was speaking on this was a dude I knew in prison this is a dude that gave me much advice a strong guy with a humble and a smart guy. I didn't know him as China Mac I know him as GK. There was a lot said between men in a place like that. As someone from a similar background to both individuals with a lot going on it is just me saying I love you bro and despite everything you have become an awesome man just like you always have potential to be that's it bruh honestly it matters not who he cares for or not. Is someone not sympathy but empathy for a situation then obviously they relate about something and if nothing is said otherwise it is not needed to be corrected or validated or disputed. So again I wish my brother the best I'm glad to see him shining with a lot of his potential just like he tried to get the rest of us to do in spite of and despite the past his choices and others. Have a good day.
Your father probably didn’t play about his money. I think the biggest thing to him was not playing about his son and wanted you to be a righteous young man. I had a similar situation with my son about an Xbox points card at Target with my son. It hurt me knowing my son had the courage to steal, especially after I talk and guide him the best I can. Much respect for sharing.
I'm 43 and my family is from Elizabeth & Prince since the 40s. I remember when it was on and cracking in China Town & little Italy. My pops did 10 in fed because of that street and has been deported since. You hand to stand on your 10 to come outside. Miss the old neighborhood people.
Wow!!! That chicken over rice look real juicy and that sauce I know has a special kick really good looking food great story too respect ✊ china Mac always keep it real that’s wassuupp!!!!!!!
Your dad is still alive? Damn. That would be a hella arc where you go and make peace with him. Life's too short, even if you don't make peace, one final goodbye would be worth a lot. I don't think I could not talk to my dad this long and not see him if he's still alive.
This spot is legit. I’ve been going here on and off for over 15 years. My friends in Chinatown all knew this spot and put me on. Glad they made it through the pandemic.
Hey China Mac, your Childhood life just like my childhood life, my father was gambling at Chinatown in Los Angeles California when I was a kid, we're similar life tradition bro, I'm appreciate that you share your childhood past life. Thanks Mac love your 🙏❤️
Toot your horn until it can't be tooted no more,Mr. MAC. Because you came a long way and worked hard for your great achievements in life. Nothing was handed to you. It was all earned. Love and respect from the Steele family. Goodnight and God bless.
Bro idc what anyone says, when you drool while you’re eating, that food gotta be fire. You know that usually happens with the first few bites, especially when you’re hungry asf. Take that to another level, my guy is still drooling in between bites halfway through the video. You know that shit fire fire 😂😂
I heard some fled to Vietnam, maybe you should try there if you're really interested in looking. Social media should help a lot as it did help out for others trying to locate their family members. Also, it could help you expand your channel if going international.
Vietnamese Do the best pork chops over steamed rice with a side of cucumber a side of iceberg lettuce and a side of sliced tomato with that sauce and you pour over it
Back then it was ghost shadows flying dragons but when I grew up next to Chinatown most of the people were Cantonese.. and it’s true if that had a lot of gambling parlors The Smith projects were not that far from Chinatown so what they used to do they used to rob the Chinese people when they come back from the gambling parlors or sometimes snatch pocketbooks back in the day that was New York City.
China Mac, I got a bone to pick with you…🙄 It’s Christmas Eve and I should be getting ready to go to my brothers house but I’m here watching your videos! I haven’t even had a shower yet!!! I’m telling my brother to take it up with you if I’m late….🤨😜🙄 Much much love and respect from me to you 🙏🏼
There nothing wrong with wanting to meet your pops no matter the past he had ,, ppl make mistakes.. but he’ll always be your only father find him and try to talk to him.. lol how come she never wants to take your money ?
Because he is a well known public figure and he is showing love and support by eating there and telling the world about this establishment, in the Chinese Culture respect is treated back with respect so they not wanting to charge him is courtesy and being thankful
Ethnic media playing in the background... this shit makes me miss growing up Asian haha, trying to be an American everyday. Ahh a vibe average Americans wouldn't know about.
Fried chicken wings expensive now in Chinese restaurant I don’t know what they were back then but now five whole chicken wings are $12.50 and yes they are super delicious whole wings but still that’s a little pricey
Basically his dad became a snitch and went into hiding. The dad's best friend or something ended up taking care of Mac's family. Mac and everyone else lost respect for his dad for snitching.
@China Mac TV my brother I hope you see this…our stories are similar and I just wanted to tell you to try and reconnect with your father…I was in a similar situation with the same mind state…long story short I connected with my father, rebuilt a relationship on some grown man shit, then 2 years later that COVID shit took him out June 22nd 2020 on the day after Father’s Day…but yeah my point of this was to tell you it’ll make you feel better as you grow to at least know you made the attempt even if it doesn’t work out. Salute. 💯💯💯

Wanted to see if anyone else had this come up. Thanks
My uncle lives across the street for almost a decade. I had fried chicken/drumstick rice there just before covid.
