"With asian parents you pretty much have only 2 options. You either become a doctor or an engineer" - A wise man who became the first Canadian masterchef
Leo Bozley I actually wanted to be a doctor and my dad said if I study well and do well in school then I could become one. I eventually changed my mind because a doctor is really hard and there are so many doctors that I could choose from too so it probably take me my entire life to choose one.
Lawyers as well TBH Unless you are the top dog in the field, such as winning a national championship and that only buys you the ticket into the debate with your parents to enter an industry
- Finally can say the duck isnt burn ✅ - get a new haircuts ✅ - owns a restaurant ✅ - got gainz 👀 ✅ - collab with Alvin Leung ✅ - gets his dad approval ✅ - went from / _ \ to :D ✅ This is a definition of successs guys!
I am happy for Eric, but why would one need a parent's approval to do what he or she wants? Pleasing your own parents should never be a motivation. Everyone should do what they want with a plan/goal/passion.
@@1220MrCool that’s an Asian culture because chefs are considered low class and they don’t make much of course this was way way back in the day, doctors and engineers are something they can make money and help, that’s is the typical Asian culture, but as for me who grew up with Asian culture and food and philosophy, also language I speak an old dialect that’s is dead and the older people know it, this is the same for parent are having a hard time with me and not letting me do what I want as a career and it’s something that I believe in and that is begin in the army and they don’t see me as that but I see myself begin in the army and become an elite soldier myself and they don’t see it and don’t want me to at all which is hurting me and making me depressed, they wanted me to be at least a plumber, engineer, mechanic, or business owner doesn’t have to be big but making something, or a scientist
@@HorrorDimensionMusic Bruh when i was at a steakhouse in downtown manhattan i lost 6 kilos just from the workload. My hair was always drenched like i was in the shower just from the sweat alone.
I watched you on every episode and knew that he was going to win. I watched his first episode, Eric Chong studied engineering but dad doesn't allow him to become a chef because he doesn't see a future. Sorry if it is too weird but you are a great inspiration.
Love Eric, he's a great chef and an amazing somnolent pill, every night I get insomnia I turn Masterchef on and look at his lovely face and snooze off in no time. He looks much happier now and that makes everyone happier.
He luks so happy- im happy!! Like- he didnt want to pursue engineer though he already was an engineer but he followed his dream and luk at him- dream come tru i absolutely love it
i remember in masterchef when he auditioned he looked so sad in every episode but after he won he looks way happier than before. Eric if you see this *ive always been rooting for ya in masterchef*
Mr Chong, as a native from Florida, I would like to visit your restaurant someday and perhaps ask for your autograph someday . You definitely took down every contestant 1 by 1 which impressed me.
Man I hope his parents realize how proud they should be of this young man he did what they wanted he became an engineer that's a huge accomplishment on its own now he owns his own restraunt I mean give the kid a pat on the back
I would really love to see Ramsay come to this place, look and taste the food. I know he would be inmpressed. I knew Eric was gonna win from the beginning
This dude is a winner. He's built big, has a chem. engineering degree, won master chef at age 21, and is a restaurant owner. His demons probably have nightmares about *him.*
he looks so much happier now LOL
Cryil 28 from this /__\ to this ^__^
hes also NOT running.

During the audition and before the master chef final: /_\ After he wins Master Chef: 😀

Loool not used to seeing him this happy 😇🥰
It's good to see that he is doing well.
It seems like this guy is really good at cooking I'd like to see him in a cooking show, for example Masterchef Canada.
Man I hope his parents realize how proud they should be of this young man he did what they wanted he became an engineer that's a huge accomplishment on its own now he owns his own restraunt I mean give the kid a pat on the back
Eric when cooking in Masterchef: 😰😥😓
Eric when cooking alone: 🙂😌😊
Hopefully this channel grows well. Congrats to Eric he deserved it and I'm happy that he's happy. 773rd sub here
Eric should hire Kaila. 😂 "Two cats in a same cage"- Chef Alvin. 🤣
Lol that'd be amazing
Nice to see someone go through the show and then go on to do well
"you're alvin leung you're a chef you're an engineer and you're living my dream" alvin knew he was gonna go far
From noob to masterchef this guy will inspire you
Our Happy Puppy Eric 😌❤
Nice to see that he acknowledges other MC winners like Luca from MC America Season 4
Luca to me he motivated not give up on Ur dreams
I can see so much girls fangirling over this man
this makes me so dahm happy, ima go visit his restaurant to see what the foods like
This is him after MasterChef Canada he looks very successful and happy
As a Japanese Hawaiian, I felt that bro. That's why I'm in Medical School and my brother a BME/ME. Do what you love.

Eversince masterchef, I always looking at his beautiful arms 💕
We both know Eric is a god of making chinese food because he is a great canadian master chef
Thank goodness you smile now instead of having that weird ass frown
His sad eyes look happy now. Amazing.
When Eric is smiling, it also looks like he's sad
I’ve passed by that place and seen people walk out of there happy and satisfied
Guess the duck really wasn’t burned 😂
