Proud that I was lucky enough

I want people to value it

So what is the value of Chinese food?
4

00:11
Is it the taste?
5

00:12
Is it the hard work and the training?
6
12519
1847
00:14
Or is it the dish's history and
the nostalgia it makes us feel?

To me, it is all of those things.

But the value of Chinese food is
often compared to fast food,
9

00:23
quick and cheap.

Although we've spent years
developing skills to cook faster,

00:29
Chinese food isn't fast food.
12

It requires skills,
13
31752
1843
00:33
mastery of ingredients
14
33595

00:35
and nostalgia.
15

00:36
Cooking represents all the hard
work and memories that we had,
16
36799
3604
00:40
learning the art,
17
40403
1475
00:41
mastering the skills

and understanding the
history of Chinese food.

So the next time you visit
a Chinese restaurant,
20

just remember.

It's not just a
plate of fried rice.

It's so much more than that.
