Shunde’s “Mo’s Chicken Hotpot” Goes Viral — Moses Chan and Lee Kwok Lun Spotted Visiting, Netizens Joke It’s Easier Than Spotting Stars at TVB Anniversary

A humble eatery in Shunde, Foshan—“Mo’s Chicken Hotpot”—has recently gone viral after being featured in a food vlog by influencer Liu Yuxin. The unexpected buzz quickly spread to Hong Kong’s entertainment circle, drawing nearly 10 veteran TVB actors, including Joe Ma and Lee Kwok Lun, who traveled north to check it out. Netizens joked, “Your chances of spotting celebrities here are higher than at a TVB anniversary show!”

The sudden surge in popularity overwhelmed the owner, known as “Lao Mo.” In a humorous attempt to control the crowd, he even tried reverse psychology—claiming the restaurant only uses “chilled chicken.” Ironically, this only fueled curiosity, attracting even more customers eager to judge the taste for themselves.

Among the celebrity visitors, Joe Ma visited after a performance in Guangzhou and praised the food as “very good,” further boosting the hype. Meanwhile, Lee Kwok Lun made a two-hour drive from Hong Kong but missed out due to early closing, jokingly urging the owner to open late-night hours. He later returned successfully and quipped, “So it’s all just ‘chilled chicken,’ huh?”

The actors didn’t stop at dining—they even brainstormed expansion ideas. Law Lok Kwan suggested opening a Hong Kong branch, humorously referencing his famous roles. Lee expressed interest in joining as an investor, while Poon Chi Man proposed taking the brand global—even to India—prompting the owner to joke about creating a “curry chicken hotpot.”

With appearances from actors like Ai Wai, Jim Chim, and Lawrence Ng, the once low-key eatery has effectively transformed into a “TVB celebrity canteen.” Netizens couldn’t help but laugh: “It’s like a TVB reunion—over chicken hotpot.”
