Carp with garlic sauce,
the first dish Uncle Wen taught me.
:42:11
And this is duck-oil sautéed pea sprout.
One duck, two dishes.
:42:15
Duck sautéed with garlic.
A perfect balance.
:42:18
It's an ancient philosophy: food balanced
with energy, flavor and nature.
:42:22
This I understand.
Like balancing yin and yang.
:42:26
Take your time.
There's also a tofu dumpling coming up.
:42:30
There's enough for 10 people.
:42:32
I always cook in large servings,
because I learned in a large restaurant.
:42:37
-That kitchen....
-What?
:42:40
It's strange,
I don't have any childhood memories...
:42:43
...unless I cook them into existence.
:42:46
I can't remember a thing
from my childhood.
:42:48
You wouldn't believe
how fun and warm my father used to be.
:42:54
Back then, after school,
before the dinner rush...
:42:56
...he'd bake me bracelets made of bread.
:42:59
I used to have a ring...
:43:02
...full of spices and sugar diamonds
made from dough.
:43:07
He enjoyed letting me play
in the big kitchen.
:43:10
Jia-Jen was so jealous.
:43:13
-Here, wear this squid ring, and then eat it.
-Don't play.
:43:17
How about nibbling my earring?
:43:20
Stop playing.
:43:26
I'm sorry I got so sentimental tonight.
:43:32
No, I just had too much to eat.
:43:39
The pepper smells good.
:43:47
How is it?
:43:49
Too spicy?
:43:51
Say something!
Don't make me guess your expressions.
:43:56
Old Wen!
