Xiao Dang Jia is the nickname of Liu Maoxing, the hero of Chuka Ichiban, a 1990s cooking anime also known as Cooking Master Boy. The series became popular across Asia for its exaggerated reactions to dishes, which later made its name and clips natural material for food memes online. As short cooking videos spread on social platforms, fans reused the reference for triumphant kitchen moments, sometimes alongside other exaggerated reaction clips like Anime Wow for a second beat of amazement.
