It was very touching to see the son get teary-eyed talking about how happy his mom is at 70. 😭

Truly amazing lalo na pagtumatawa ang China Mommy ! Its contagious!!!
The son really cares about his mother. It makes him emotional just talking about his mother's simple happiness.
As a Chinoy living abroad. This episode is very inspiring to me. I'm a pro. chef based abroad for 2 decades with a strong international cuisine & pastry background but my Amah wasn't able to teach me those heirloom dishes because she was bed ridden and ill when she was living. Funny thing, I have a house near to where China Mommy is based.
one of your best productions ever, and that's consistently producing authentic, indepth, and original programs !
The whole vid made me crave for china mommy’s dishes at 4am. And you can really feel her love for cooking and it shines through her creations. Such a heart warming tribute

For real I wanna try their lumpia and fortune bag 🤤
Ito yung quality production talaga, ganda ng color grading at pantay yung sounds walang bulagaan na sasabog tenga mo. Nc nc!
The production quality of this one is superb.
This made me cry! It's not about the age but how you achieve your passion is the most important. Seeing China mommy's happiness says it all. =)
Young aspiring chefs should take a page of this gem of a mom. If you take shortcuts, you get cut short. Mabuhay ka China Mummy! ❤
grabeh talaga yung storytelling ño.. panglaban tlaga sa mainstream.. the quality and content 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌👌👌👌👌

This is a copied format from Paolo from Tokyo. His Day in a Life series is the most viewed vlogs from his channel. I also see a format here from Eater and Munchies with the food feature. This is kinda more on a serious tone but I wouldn’t mind following this featuring local merchants etc.

First kong nanotice yung color grading parang inspired sa Everything Everywhere all at once. Ang ganda po pang Hollywood ang productions....❤❤
Way to go again to Erwan and the FEATR team for highlighting traditional food whether Chinese or Filipino in an excellent way. Hope to see more wonderful food history finds worth knowing! Beautifully produced this one ❤🎉
Iba talaga ang lutong nanay..di mo basta basta makuha yung 100% taste..nice one Featr..
Congratulations Ninang Linda and the whole Chinamommy team🙏🏻 She deserves all the love in this world because Ninang Linda is such a kind hearted, generous, talented, beautiful person ❤❤❤
Netflix worthy mga documentaries ng Featr, always enjoyed this kind of videos, well made and very educational 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Ohh I love this and having a great time watching this episode. I relate so much with CHINA MOMMY. Watching her cooking and doing errands to go to market, I remember my mom. Because looking at her (China Mommy) I saw my mom to her! I love the way she manages her own kitchen and staff. I wish someday I can come back and visit Manila and I will get to see and taste her foods in her restaurant. God willing! 🙏🏼👼🏼♥️😍🥰🤩🩷💛💜💞
What a beautifully written story. The interviews were amazing. Following china mommy through the palengke and hearing her speak with the vendors, it brings me back to my childhood. As someone with parents who are also aging, it warms my heart to see her find fulfillment and the bond she has with her son. Thank you for this!
basta FEATR ang tumira asahan mo KAKAIBA! shoutout sa FEATR TEAM. Mabuhay kayo! salamat sa quality videos.
This feels like a Netflix documentary! Featr is so good with these types of content! more please!
I am not a Fil-Chi but this is a beautiful food documentary. Now, I am craving Chinese Lumpia and would love to try the rest of the food.
I'm an avid follower of Featr's series showcasing various small businesses but this one really hit me right in the feels. As a Fil-Chi myself who grew up around Ongpin and Binondo area, I've had a taste of Maki, Chinese Lumpia, Sibut, Kiampeng, Cha Misua because of my late taima (great grandma) and ahma (grandma). They would always cook these dishes which were really good! They're gone now and you know sometimes I just wish I could get a taste of their cooking again...like I'm always looking for that flavor/dish. I will definitely try China Mommy! Thank you for featuring them and thank you for making these heartwarming videos. Keep it up, Featr team! ❤
makikita mo talaga na proud at mahal na mahal nya mama nya..
I'm blessed to have Fil-Chi bosses at work, who values family-spirit the most. I remember our company's owner thru China Mommy 😊 tough and warm at the same time ❤
Mam Linda reminds me of my departed grandmother Lydia. She grew up in a coastal town and she sold dried fish for the entirety of her childhood. Just a little kid walking around different parts of town with a basket in tow. With this can-do attitude and she eventually moved up in life to become an owner of a handful of properties.She also had a thriving convenience store which added to the success. She was fond of cooking and often went to public markets that we implored her not to go on, for health reasons. During the flatline there was a defiant pulse. She was stubborn till the very end. I miss her so much.

Beautiful story. Thank you for sharing!
Proud Chinoy here! Definitely one of the advantages being a chinoy is having the best of both worlds especially in terms of food.... growing up with my mom's home cooked chinese dishes, and at the same time enjoying pinoy food as well. This was a great and quality production, congrats to everyone involved.

coming from a filipino-chinese family, i just wished our family recipes were preserved. this is a great content!
I’ve watched this 3 times just bc sometimes I miss the Philippines and the tsinoy life. 😢 So glad my fav got featured in featr!
Thank you Featr for showing us who China Mommy is. I've always loved their dishes and would only eat at the grid to have a taste of their crabs and lumpia. I now understand why their dishes are so good--it was all made with love.
I watch food docu ng Netflix and this video quality is on par. grabe 5/5 production
Naalala ko amah ko and mom ko kay China mommy. Never tire preserving your family recipes!
Love this feature! It’s lovely to capture China Mommy’s history and impact to her family and growing community!
China Mommy is so inspiring!❤ this is also what i've always wanted to do-- cook and feed people i love... but i kinda lost my love for cooking when my Dad (67yo) passed in 2022 whom i've always cooked for-- breakfast-lunch-dinner-snacks in between... kahit anong food requests pinagbibigyan ko ang Dad ko. watching this episode made me cry and made me reconsider cooking again. thank you, China Mommy!❤
I'm happy for Oliver and his family. As someone who came from a family we were not able to preserve my lola's cookings. It's really different.
my mom and china mommy are the same magastos magluto kasi di pwede kulang ang rekados saka maraming ingredients ang mamahal tapos pag nag comment ka na mahal ta pwede nmn mag improvise sasabihin "oh di na ako magluluto,sana kayo na lang nagluto" 😂😂😂
FEATR never fail to give us QUALITY contents
My Japanese grandmother is like this 😂 she is very hardworking making soup ramen in street in Minato station ❤
Ang ganda ni China Mommy. I'm sure super stunning sya noong kabataan nya!!! She is funny and amusing too! And yes, natatandaan ko pa yung Escolta. Mom used to bring us there. She would buy our clothes at Berg's, and shoes at Sybelle's or Greg's. And yes, it can get emotional, but that's ok, Bro. You are super proud of your Mom, your China Mommy!!!
the best erwan and featr team no skipping ads talaga din ako dito gaya ng karapat dapat na vlogger
This is a very great example of self-actualization! Kudos, featr!🤗
The peg of the video is the caliber of the National Geographic. Historical, current and culturally relevant is how I described this video. Thank you Mr. Erwan. And to you China Mommy, I admire your skill in cooking that brings back memory of the past because it is authentic and I know taste superbly good.
Yun lumpia na yan Sobrang sarap , delicious naman talaga Chinese food

Would you know kung no meat po ang lumpia ni mommy? Gusto ko sana masubukan kung purong gulay (vegan) hehe
I am inspired by your cooking China Mommy, I miss Chinese food, and I should try your cooking, I also want to cook very uniquely. When we were in China I tried different Chinese food that I can't find here in the Philippines.
Salute to all moms ❤
very professional quality. definitely better than television documentary 😮
Thank you Feature team for this episode. Thank you China Mommy and family for making your traditional chinese food available to everybody who misses their Ama’s or Angin’s home cooking. I grew up eating most of the food shown. I regret not having learned my Angins’ recipes, that she passed down to my Dad. I always thought that I had plenty of time to learn from him. Sadly, he passed away two years ago and I never got the chance. I’m glad this episode popped up on my feed. I’d like to think that my Dad knows how much I miss him and his cooking and this is his way of connecting with me. I will definitely order from China Mommy on my next trip home to the Philippines. Can’t wait to try the tastes of home again. Thank you Feature!
Kudos to the production team behind this vlog. SUPERB! Now i want to try China Mommy ❤
I love chinese soup.eto ang namimiss ko.masarap ang long time soup w/ herbs da best.i used to work in hk with chinese employer sobrang sarap ng soup nila ako din nagluluto.kakamiss
Wow. No dry eyes at the end. Kudos to this kind of content. More success stories of hardwork and passion please🙏
Grabe ung lumpia😍😍😍😍 Napaka sarap nian.apaw na apaw SA sahog 😍😍😍😍
China Mommy is our favorite stall at the Grid. Crabs are not affordable, pero masarap yung dishes nila kaya sulit. Their dishes are such a treat.
This was such a nice feature. Tama si China Mommy, you can really taste when food is made with love. 😊 Hope I'll be able to taste their dishes one day!
quality content as always
Superb documentary 😍 luv u China Mommy 💞
I love mommie's halakhalk: "mas masarap daw ang crabs ko keysa sa thai. " everything looks super delicious.

THE BEST!!!
Wonderful video it also made me teary eyed at the end!

Love this. Please always feature small business
Aweee I love this kind of vlogs ❤🎉😮 I love it! Thank you so much for this FEATR! I love to know different cultures!
loving mother and mabait na anak. God bless po sa inyo
Love this episode, remembering my Mom buying Chinese lumpia in divisoria and our Chinese kapitbahay giving us Maki but refuse to give ua the recipe, now i know where to go or to order for my Chinese food craving.
I love this episode. I miss my dad and so seeing this episod brings back a lot of memories when he would take me out to eat chinese food. Since he passed on sometimes i forgot my Chinese roots. This episode really hits a spot on my heart ❤️
Wowww the storyline and production are simply world class in this issue.
As a Fil-Chi, I can attest to what the son mentioned about feeling a little different especially with food. I remember thinking all families in the Philippines would have the same kinds of food we eat at home. You come to realize, it is not the same. It is nice to watch this video because it has an in-depth look on Filipino-Chinese families. Simple topic about food but it shows the culture and tradition. Thumbs up!
This one is a gem!! Thanks for this episode ☺️❤️🤤
Wow! This is worth watching. Kudos to FEATR / TFKI team! ❤
I love chinese food among any other cuisine around the world aside from my filipino cuisine.❤❤❤
Nice production! Kudos to those worked behind the scenes for this episode! Made me want to try chinamommy's food.

I miz my mum she loves anything about food, cooking and kitchen. What a heartwarming documentary. The best food is cooking with a heart.
I am working for 10years in HK and before I was a cook in fast food in 7yrs...Luckily I know now how to cook not only Filipino food but now I can cook Chinese cuisine😇
Thank you for this episode. Your China Mommy is Supermom chef ! I hope when I am in Manila as I work here in Davao, I can order your lumpia- a food made to people you love- and the misua..
We relate to China Mommy. Ang luto na VERY authentic! We love you. Magaling talaga! We understand her Fokien speaking! We will surely visit China Mommy!
Ang ganda naman ng documentary na to! Happy Lunar New Year! Gong xi fa cai! Xin nian kuai le!
I've seen a lot of netflix documentaries and this one just feels like one.
I love it every time tita linda speaks Cantonese. My malaysian chinese friends also watched this video said they developed their own dialect of cantonese.

They don’t speak Cantonese here and especially in the Philippines. They were actually speaking Hokkien.
if it's really your passion, it will radiate the happiness on what you are doing. I really love this episode.
