The popularity of "Longing for Life" not only makes the audience yearn for life more, but also allows the audience to better understand Mr. Huang Lei's superb cooking skills.
Speaking of cooking, besides Mr. Huang Lei, there is another person who likes cooking very much. He is Nicholas Tse.
On the screen, they are all chefs. Off-screen, Huang Lei became "Chef Huang", while Nicholas Tse opened "Feng Wei". So we all habitually compare: Which one is better? Who is better at cooking?
As we all know, in the process of longing for life, Mr. Huang Lei has to cook for at least three to five guests, and at most nearly ten guests. According to the program introduction, Mr. Huang Lei has been wandering around the kitchen, and the ingredients he uses for cooking are also very common. However, since the launch of "Longing for Life", no customer has said that Mr. Huang Lei's dishes are not delicious.
For example, in the previous show, Mr. Huang Lei made lard noodles for four female guests including Chen Qiaoen. Although actresses such as Song Qian and Chen Qiaoen use exaggerated expressions and language to express the meaning of "too delicious", although it is a bit of a show, it is undeniable that Mr. Huang Lei's craftsmanship is well-known to every household. In the footage of the show, Mr. Huang Lei is really cooking. Even real chefs say that Huang Lei's cooking skills are okay, but there is still a gap compared with real celebrity chefs.
Tse Tingfeng’s dishes are more like works of art. If you look at their sword skills, I think his cooking skills are better. I have watched Nicholas Tse's Twelve Flavors of Sharpness. I think it's Nicholas Tse. Treat food as art, and have high requirements for knife skills and aesthetics. I remember there was an episode where Donnie Yen was invited. They made a shrimp. For such a small shrimp, the depth it requires is very high. Although I am not a professional chef, I feel that the small aspects, especially the knife skills, reflect Nicholas Tse's love for food and superb cooking skills. 12 Flavors took 8 months to shoot in 12 different places around the world, such as finding top-quality truffles in the south of France, catching hairy crabs in Australia, and finding authentic tastes in Indonesia as well as Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Norway, Italy and other places. Top quality civet coffee. Audiences generally reported that the program was innovative, but it was not a gourmet program. In fact, the dishes were just introduced. The program shows more thoughts about life and desire for love.
I don’t need to say that everyone should see the cooking skills of these two people on the show. They all work really hard. We strive for excellence in ingredients and presentation. Everyone firmly believes that no matter what you are doing, if you work hard and receive praise and love, it is a great thing. Both the chefs and the diners enjoyed it, and we were infected by their love and seriousness about food. Having these is enough, and we still have to worry about the level of cooking skills.
