Crowd Lu Raves About Fish Head Vermicelli, Touches Hearts With Khalil Fong Tribute

Taiwanese singer-songwriter Crowd Lu returned to Malaysia for a concert after two years, once again showcasing his signature "Guang-style nonsensical" charm. He even transformed into a "food ambassador," enthusiastically promoting "fish head vermicelli" and amusing the entire audience. He admitted that he loves Malaysia's weather and cuisine, especially fish head vermicelli, which he can't stop thinking about. Laughing, he said: "This morning I went to eat fish head vermicelli; it has both fish head and vermicelli, and it's served hot! Being able to have this dish first thing in the morning is such a luxury. I strongly recommend everyone to have fish head vermicelli for breakfast!" The crowd burst into laughter. It seems he really is devoted to fish head vermicelli, mentioning it almost nonstop throughout the night, prompting fans to exclaim, "You made me want to have fish head vermicelli too!"

Crowd Lu's "HeartBreakFast Heartbreak Breakfast Shop" world tour Kuala Lumpur stop was held on the 9th night at Mega Star Arena. This time, he didn't play guitar on stage but instead turned the stage into a "late-night heartbreak breakfast shop," taking on the role of a one-man bartender, using his voice to heal every member of the audience. During the concert, he performed new songs from his latest album such as "One Night, One Night, One Night," "Don't Be Together," "Happy April Fool's Day," "Die In Your Arms," and "The Sun and the Earth," as well as classic tracks like "I Love You," "Good Morning Beautiful Morning," "Fish," "Fraction of You," and "In the Middle of Being an Adult." While singing "I Love You," he even walked off stage to interact closely with fans, sending the crowd into a frenzy.

In addition, he specially arranged a tribute segment in memory of his late friend Khalil Fong, recreating their medley performance from a past awards ceremony to allow the audience to relive the classic works of this soulful singer-songwriter. As he performed songs like "Only Twenty-Three," "Love Love Love," "Su Li-zhen," and "Love Song," fans in the audience couldn't help but tear up, making for a scene that was both touching and warm.

Crowd Lu didn't talk much during the whole concert, but what he mentioned the most was "fish head vermicelli." He said he really liked Malaysia's weather and food: "Although this concert is called 'Heartbreak Breakfast Shop,' and it sounds a bit sad, I think Kuala Lumpur is a place suited for people who are feeling down because there's great weather and delicious food here. Whether you're heartbroken or not, you should visit."

He couldn't help sharing his foodie experience: "I went to have fish head vermicelli this morning; it was really delicious! There's fish head and vermicelli, and it's hot! Getting to have this food first thing in the morning is truly a luxury. I really recommend everyone to eat fish head vermicelli for breakfast." Before he finished speaking, the audience burst out laughing.

When fans jokingly asked him to treat them, he cheerfully replied: "I actually like treating people, so whether on the streets of Kuala Lumpur or if you meet me later in Taipei, I'll be happy to buy you a drink. Crowd Lu is like a distant relative you rarely see, isn't that right?" He humorously added: "So when you feel sad or blue, you can think of that person far away—that's me." Then he joked: "I hope everyone can enjoy both spiritual and physical fish head vermicelli when you're feeling down or depleted."

His love for fish head vermicelli was obvious, as he mentioned the dish several times during the concert and, upon leaving, playfully said: "Remember, there’s fish head in fish head vermicelli, and I’ll be in Taipei. I’ll come back and sing for you again, okay?" However, despite being asked twice by the audience to sing "Your Name Engraved Herein," he did not perform it in the end, leaving fans with a slight sense of regret as they departed.
