In one viral video, the foodie pays a visit to Super Star Restaurant, a small space that specializes in Filipino and Chinese takeout. After knowing the price of the meal, Tim explains that "it's like this restaurant has been frozen in time for 20 years, and they never learned what inflation is."

The TikToker ordered the Hong Kong-style pork chop with tomato and egg for $6.50 and the Jumbo Fried Chicken with garlic fried rice for $6.25.
