“Toddish McWong” (aka Todd Wong) finally invaded Scotland via radio waves on November 28^th 2005 on BBC Radio Scotland. He was interviewed by host Maggie Shiels for the show Scotland
Licked. 
Maggie loved the concept of haggis stuffed won-ton, and even enticed
McWong to performed “The Haggis Rap” on radio – his rap adaptation of
Robbie Burns immortal “To a Haggis.”

Wong is a 5th
generation Chinese Canadian head tax descendant who champions the
Scottish-Canadian and Chinese-Canadian contributions to BC. So many
Scottish Canadians had married into the family, he felt he had to do
something to make them feel included.

The now legendary GHFC 10 course dinner menu
features Haggis Won Ton, Haggis Lettuce wrap, cross-cultural musical
fusion, and many surprises such as the Lions Bay Mayor reciting Robbie
Burns poetry, and the Vancouver Mayor  reciting poetry in Cantonese .

The dinner event has inspired the Gung Haggis Fat Choy CBC telvision performance special,
and the Simon Fraser University recreation department has now extended
the Gung Haggis Fat Choy Canadian Games to three days January 25, 26
and 27.

Rick Scott & Harry Wong the
creators of 5 Elements children's cd and show, are very “Gung Haggis,” says McWong of the cd which combines both Cantonese and English.  “Harry
Goh Goh” (Harry Big Brother) is the “Raffi of Hong Kong” and is host of
“Bean Town” a chinese languarge children's television show that is
broadcast around the world. Rick is well known Canadian children's
performer with many cds to his credit. 

Joy Kogawa O.C.is
the poet for the event, and is very honoured to be part of the show. 
Joy continues to be “amazed” by all the attention to her work through
the Naomi's Road, opera by Vancouver Opera and her novel Obasan's selection for the  One Book One Vancouver program.  Funds raised go to Save Kogwa House committee along with  Ricepaper Magazine and the Gung Haggis Fat Choy dragon boat team.

Also featured are Joe McDonald & his band Brave Waves, and singer LaLa, both featured in the CBC television performance special Gung Haggis Fat Choy. They will be joined
by Sean Gunn singer /Songwriter/poet  and composer of The Head Tax Blues + film animator Jeff Chiba Stearns (What Are You Anyways?) and accapella singing group The Shirleys
