From a small village in China to the vibrant food scene of Montreal, Feigang’s journey is the kind every overseas Chinese family will recognize, part sacrifice, part hustle and full of flavor. Trained in computer science by day and running a packed restaurant by night, he built Aunt Dai into a cult favorite not just for its bold, nostalgic dishes but for the menu that tells the truth we’re all thinking in the funniest and most brutally honest way.
In this episode, Feigang shares the real story behind immigrant life, chasing stability while holding onto your roots, meeting his wife at university and why a simple bowl of hometown food can mean everything when you’re thousands of miles away. If you’ve ever lined up for authentic Chinese food abroad, argued about which region does it best, or searched for a taste of home in a foreign city, this conversation will feel like it was made for you.
He’s been featured in media around the world, his videos are loved by Chinese food fans everywhere, and his restaurant has become a famous spot for those who crave authenticity with a sense of humor.

Né et grandi à Paris dans une famille d’origine haïtienne, Roobens suit d’abord le chemin “tout tracé” : longues études en Langues Étrangères Appliquées puis école de commerce, porté par les attentes familiales. Mais un licenciement va tout bouleverser… et devenir le point de départ d’une aventure qui changera sa vie.
Sac sur le dos et esprit grand ouvert, il crée le blog “Been Around the Globe”, où il partage ses découvertes, ses galères, ses coups de cœur et ses réflexions sur le voyage. Une expérience si forte qu’elle donnera naissance à son livre “Être noir et voyager”, qu’il traduit lui-même en anglais sous le titre “Traveling While Black.”
Dans cet épisode, Roobens nous embarque avec lui : anecdotes de terrain, rencontres marquantes, déclics personnels et sa vision du voyage comme outil de liberté, d’identité et d’ouverture aux cultures.
Installez-vous confortablement… le décollage est immédiat.
