Kung Fu - Beggar eats chicken and rice

I used to watch kung fu movies with my dad when I was a kid. Lately I have been on an kung fu kick. There is one scene from an old movie (pre 2000s) that I cannot place. A beggar man buys multiple bowls of what seems to be chicken and rice. He starts to devour both when suddenly a group of men stop him accusing him of stealing the money or the bowls. That’s all I remember. I don’t know the premise of the movie.

Any guesses on which movies to start with?

Every possible guess: https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title_type=feature,tv_movie,video&release_date=1960-01-01,2000-12-31&country_of_origin=HK&characters=beggar&sort=moviemeter,desc

Next wild guess:

Maybe: “Drunken Master” (“Jui kuen”), 1978.
