[edit] Character Traits

Tuong Lu Kim is well known for his mispronounciating of city as shitty. When he answers calls at City Wok he is well known to say:

Herro, wercome to Shitty Wok, can I take your order pree!

According to the DVD commentary for the episode Jared Has Aides when you phone up the real City Wok a man with the same voice answers. Trey Parker and Matt Stone also said they would often phone up just to hear his voice.

Tuong Lu Kim also uses English syntax and grammar incorrectly, such as in the conclusion of Jared Has Aides when AIDS became okay to laugh at he says:

AIDS so funny!

[edit] Relatives

Tuong Lu Kim's only known relative is his wife, Wing, who is a real person. She was shown in the episode which was named after her. Wing was imported into America by the Chinese Mafia who believed they owned her. There was later a feud betweek the Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny who believed the Mafia were agents trying to steal their client. All was resolved at the end when Stan showed the other boys and the Mafia that it's wrong to own someone's life.

Tuong Lu Kim calls wing his "delicate little flower" which is a joke. It is then followed by him shouting at her in their language in an agressive tone. Since this episode Tuong or Wing haven't been seen.
