I can represent my culture while helping not only the Chinese-American community, but also the community at large.

The problem with a lot of Chinese is that they put up divisions between Taiwanese, Hong Kong natives, mainlanders. We are never united. I really hope that the Chinese can be more united.

A lot of people don't enjoy their job, they may even hate it, but I am lucky enough to be able to make a living through my passion.

You can do almost anything with soup stock, it's like a strong foundation. When you have the right foundation, everything tastes good.

Anyone that has come to America past the age of eighteen will be able to understand when I say that you can never shake your accent.

The only thing that counts is if you know how to prepare your ingredients. Even if with the best and freshest ingredients in the world, if your dish is tasteless or burnt, it's ruined.

As long as the food is well prepared and not overdone, I think it tastes good. It doesn't matter if it's Chinese, Japanese, anything.
