Phil Wang, Wong Fu and Bopomofo Cafe
We had a nostalgic session with Phil Wang of Wong Fu Productions and Bopomofo Cafe. Phil shares his honest take of what it was like to create viral Youtube videos in the early 2000s, and what Wong Fu has evolved to since. We also go in depth about Bopomofo, his personal dream of creating a space where the community could gather over ABC inspired food and drinks. Mapo tofu tater tots, anyone?
Be sure to check out Wong Fu's latest videos on YouTube, or stop by Bopomofo the next time you're in California.
