Toby To Yan Choi left his accounting job in California to help his father run a food stall in Hong Kong.
Dai pai dongs — Hong Kong's open-air stalls serving food with a no-frills approach — are disappearing.
The number of dai pai dongs in all of Hong Kong has dwindled to just over 20, according to the Hong Kong Tourism Board.
The braised white pepper pork hock is one of the signature dishes at Dai Lee Dai Pai Dong.
