After the overeating last few days, I cooked something simple, 3 dishes, soup and dry scallops congee for dinner tonight. 前幾天大魚大肉之後，今晚我簡單煮了一頓，有三道菜、一碗湯和乾貝粥作為晚餐。

My boss (Carmen) tells me how many coming to dinner tonight, all I have to say is yes boss! Anyone been to Chef competition in Asia! The best are invited, usually 10-15. The host right before the competition tell them to prepare their best dishes! They have to work with the ingredients provided. Therefore you need to be very creative and quick thinkers! You also working within a restricted time frame, usually 2 hours! I was honored with the best chef in Asia, the best judges and the Dean of UH hotel school. Carmen was with me. We were put up at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. After the competition, we were hosted by at least 10 best restaurants only open the very exclusive clientele. French Laundry in SF is nothing in comparison! We met with the head of tourism and many VIPs! In terms of the best of the best! US is a 3rd world country.

我的老闆（太太）跟我說今晚有多少人來吃飯，我只需要回一句：好的，老闆！有人去過亞洲的廚師大賽嗎？受邀的都是頂尖好手，通常有10到15位。主辦方會在比賽前一刻才告訴參賽者要準備自己的拿手菜！他們必須運用現場提供的食材來創作。所以，你必須非常有創意且反應迅速！而且還有時間限制，通常是2小時！我曾榮幸地與亞洲最佳廚師、頂尖評審，以及夏威夷大學酒店管理學院的院長一同與會，太太也陪著我。我們下榻於文華東方酒店。賽後，至少有10家僅對頂級貴賓開放的頂級餐廳招待了我們。舊金山的French Laundry跟這些比起來根本不算什麼！我們還見到了觀光局長官和許多VIP！若論頂尖中的頂尖，美國簡直就像是第三世界國家。
