Yesterday Wong Cho Lam and Louis Cheung were on a radio interview to promote for their TVB series Gilded Chopsticks. They expressed the ratings averaged 31 points and peaked at 32 points. On the Mainland streaming sites, there are nearly 200 million views and to thank the audience, they plan to go on the street and pass out the signature 'salty fish buns' from the series. Wong Cho Lam said: "Actually in reality, salty fish buns don't even exist, but now because of this series many restaurants in Hong Kong and Mainland have started selling them. It's unfortunate we didn't trademark it."

When speaking of the criticisms that female lead Joey Meng is too old for her character. Louis defended her: "She's awesome for being able to pull off this character. She probably did better then a 20 some year old could have done. Perhaps the audience already had a concept for costume dramas, but actually modern people are prettier than those in the ancient times."

Wong Cho Lam also joked: "If we used beauty in the ancient times as the standard, then Joey and Siu Bo should switch roles. The other station (ATV) is airing Joey's old series, you can see her looks haven't changed at all compared to now. You know, nowadays there are only two types of actresses, those with everlasting looks or those who look like another person."

Asked if their other halves had any comments on the series? Louis said his wife Kay Tse enjoys watching him in costume dramas. Although he's always on business trips, he still catches the series online. Wong Cho Lam expressed his girlfriend Leanne Li complained, he said: "She said I'm always letting out electricity in the series, but in real life I never do that with her."
