So I'm with my full Vietnamese grandma and my half Vietnamese dad. I'm only a quarter Vietnamese so I don't really feel like I belong because I don't look Vietnamese at all, so I'm a little quiet and just listening to their conversations. We're at my grandma's friend's pho' restaurant and we're all playing this dragon game. It's really fun and stressful. Anyways, the owner's niece or daughter (I'm not sure) comes up to the game table and sits down and starts eating chips. She's a small fat. Maybe a BMI of ~26. The owner (38 years old and gorgeous with a beautiful body) starts casually berating her, saying, "I'm worried about you, you're gonna have high cholesterol!"
My dad asks, "Who has high cholesterol?"
"Her! She is always eating. She never stops eating. She's so young. I'm just worried. Look at her!"
Then my grandma took the chips away from her. The girl laughed about it, but grabbed the chips back a few minutes later.
It's not that exciting of a story, but it really made my day to finally witness casual Asian shitlording.

My boyfriend's Chinese mother told me one time "You gain[ed] a little weight." loudly in English, in public. I had, maybe 5 pounds. It was the first thing she said to me in the restaurant. It was a greeting (I don't know how to describe it). It wasn't meant as malicious, she just let me know I looked like I gained a few. Fats around us were not pleased and some beast told me in passing I looked beautiful. Next time I saw her, in the same fat infested restaurant, first thing she said was "You skinnier, better than last time." You could hear the galaxy behind us choke on her food after hearing the comment and feel her stare daggers through the meal.
Side note: My boyfriend always says "If it is in English it is shitlording, if it is in Chinese it is the truth." Not exactly sure what it means but he says it a lot.

I guess what he means is that we have created a label for fatshaming, when in China it's a natural thing to do.

That and if she says in it English, its so the fats can 'overhear' her.
