To all the people who don't know the scene starting at 4:53 in the banquet hotel kitchen... the master chef is brought in to save the SHARK FIN SOUP and when seeing it, he knows instantly it's FAKE shark fin that falls apart into a slimy gooey gell in the pot - so he just ends up cooking an entirely different dish to satisfy.
Donkeyspit - looks like a variation on twice cooked pork. He shallow fried the pork belly in the wok before slicing and arranging in the bowl. He then steamed it to cook the veggies and warm the pork. An awesome presentation.
@nctrnlbst That is not exactly the dish "Twice Cooked Pork" often seen in the West or US. It's a less known (to the West) dish called 梅乾扣肉 meigan kourou. Sorry, I have no idea how to translate it into English.
I was trying to tell my chef about this movie because the food is so amazing ,and we don't get Chinese dishes like these in America. I really want them.
The chili pepper slicing, good lord, amazing!
As I mentioned in another video's comments, I had never seen the technique of cooking the thin sheets of dough on a flat iron.
Really great example of cooking mastery. Cooking an entire meal, not just dishes.

He is blowing up the duck to fully expand it for roasting. In restaurants, they use an air pump.

@CalDodger Is it for separating the skin from meat? (Peking duck?)

No, I don't think so. Just to make it cook more evenly.

soooo good. Food porn at it's best. You took out the dialogue and just left the action and ***shots. My palate is starting to tingle right now.

I remember seeing this movie when it came out. When it was over, people left the theater and rushed to the nearest Chinese restaurant.

This *IS* a Chinese film. It's a Taiwanese-Chinese film.
Everything portrayed in the film is traditional Chinese culture.
