Welcome 0:00:02.330 --> 0:00:07.560 back to yet another episode of Men explain 0:00:13.540 --> 0:00:17.169 today we have a super app guest for our topic 0:00:17.180 --> 0:00:18.779 and I can't wait to review what the topic is. 0:00:18.780 --> 0:00:20.340 But first please welcome Amanda. 0:00:20.350 --> 0:00:25.060 Hello. I guys. Amanda and I am a host. I cook. 0:00:25.070 --> 0:00:27.670 I talent. I do things that I might not want 0:00:27.670 --> 0:00:31.590 to do on T. S. L. Like like what? Like 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:34.440 eating ridiculous food for 72 hours. 0:00:34.450 --> 0:00:36.659 Oh my gosh. I know you have tons of great 0:00:36.659 --> 0:00:39.630 content by the way and I'm sure, I'm sure at 0:00:39.630 --> 0:00:41.880 the same time you've eaten your fair share of interesting 0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:43.650 things that you do not want to repeat again. 0:00:43.650 --> 0:00:46.879 You're never ever again. You think about it? I have 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:48.250 a friend who 0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:51.550 meet blue. P. Everything forced me to try. It 0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:54.150 blew P everything. But what's wrong with that? That's not 0:00:54.150 --> 0:00:54.890 so weird. 0:00:54.900 --> 0:00:57.710 You mentioned you die, you die your fried chicken blue. Okay. 0:00:57.710 --> 0:00:58.540 That's a bit weird. 0:00:58.740 --> 0:01:01.250 Strange. It doesn't give you the kitchen that doesn't give 0:01:01.250 --> 0:01:06.280 any particular flavor. Right? It doesn't doesn't mostly the color. Okay. Okay. 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:09.110 So we've established that he has a very interesting career choice. 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:11.929 You don't regret anything, right? I don't I don't know 0:01:11.940 --> 0:01:14.400 how good your bosses might be watching my dog. You 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:15.050 never know. 0:01:15.140 --> 0:01:17.000 Okay man. I mean obviously, you know you have a 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:19.039 love for food and you know, we can see that 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:21.470 as well in a short conversation earlier, you said that 0:01:21.470 --> 0:01:23.420 you actually cook almost every day. 0:01:23.430 --> 0:01:28.000 I try to cook almost every other day for my family. Yeah, 0:01:28.010 --> 0:01:31.569 because because my mom's here is like a bit, so 0:01:31.569 --> 0:01:33.380 I just want to want her to like straighten herself 0:01:33.380 --> 0:01:34.160 too much or 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:36.229 do chores. So I will try to cook, I would 0:01:36.230 --> 0:01:38.459 do like a fish and meat and then 0:01:38.740 --> 0:01:40.970 a veg plus some rice. That is, 0:01:40.970 --> 0:01:45.280 that's advanced, that is, that is placing, that's basically clearly 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:48.660 we have a lot through during this show today and 0:01:48.660 --> 0:01:51.550 during this episode, we're also going to address the fact about, 0:01:51.550 --> 0:01:54.360 you know, this whole stereotype about being able to cook 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:57.960 being more marriageable, being more, I don't know, eligible as 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:00.279 well as a partner and all that. I think times 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.820 are changing, right, Things are changing, but the main question 0:02:02.820 --> 0:02:06.110 of today is would you marry someone who doesn't really 0:02:06.110 --> 0:02:09.310 know how to cook? Is that a very important factor? 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.960 I mean, just to kick things off, would you say 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:13.440 that that is one of the things you look for 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:14.090 in a partner? 0:02:14.100 --> 0:02:14.860 I think like 0:02:14.940 --> 0:02:17.019 the appreciation for food is something that I look out 0:02:17.020 --> 0:02:19.760 for more and then like understand the process behind it. 0:02:19.770 --> 0:02:20.850 Makes it a lot more 0:02:21.340 --> 0:02:23.460 complex. Makes it makes it a lot more, 0:02:23.940 --> 0:02:25.260 makes the person look more 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:28.590 come on, just spit it out. There's no filter here 0:02:28.590 --> 0:02:29.250 on this podcast. 0:02:29.260 --> 0:02:31.270 Okay. The person is more attractive to the person or 0:02:31.270 --> 0:02:35.750 the on the t shirt. 100%. Just because, right, I 0:02:35.750 --> 0:02:38.980 think that is both my hobby. Okay, and it is 0:02:38.990 --> 0:02:41.089 some part of my career. So, so if the person 0:02:41.090 --> 0:02:44.570 is able to marry both together, right? In that one skill, 0:02:44.580 --> 0:02:45.660 I think that is 0:02:45.740 --> 0:02:46.320 perfect. 0:02:46.330 --> 0:02:48.980 This is not tough at all. I mean just so 0:02:48.980 --> 0:02:50.660 now I'm sure you'll find someone who is able to 0:02:50.660 --> 0:02:53.340 meet those expectations. Hopefully. Do you think that, that you 0:02:53.340 --> 0:02:57.370 sometimes sort of expect this of your partner because you have, 0:02:57.380 --> 0:02:59.200 you are so passionate about food and you love to 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:00.250 cook and stuff like that? 0:03:00.260 --> 0:03:02.500 I think the one thing that I would expect more 0:03:02.500 --> 0:03:05.080 right is when we're out eating something nice, right? Yes. 0:03:05.090 --> 0:03:07.410 The person wouldn't be just sitting there like taking a 0:03:07.410 --> 0:03:10.419 step back and say, okay, that's not bad. Like what, 0:03:10.419 --> 0:03:12.000 what do you like about what do you like about it? 0:03:12.010 --> 0:03:14.290 It's like eating that, sorry. Okay, then we bring them, 0:03:14.300 --> 0:03:17.190 I bring like people to like the best, which is 0:03:17.190 --> 0:03:19.739 like by the way, I'm not 0:03:19.750 --> 0:03:22.420 actually tried it. Okay, so good, so good. 0:03:22.430 --> 0:03:25.230 So I have friends who like go there and then 0:03:25.230 --> 0:03:26.860 they take a sip and then they're like, 0:03:27.139 --> 0:03:29.900 okay, so this is like the, that you see, you 0:03:29.900 --> 0:03:34.109 know the black color instantly. Like there's so much more 0:03:34.190 --> 0:03:37.440 you appreciate, appreciate, appreciate. It's like when you bring someone 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.470 to a sushi restaurant and they said, ok, then bring 0:03:40.470 --> 0:03:43.360 into one in Japan, they're like, okay, like Singapore? It's 0:03:43.370 --> 0:03:44.950 like Singapore like 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:48.910 basically people who don't have much opinions when it comes 0:03:48.910 --> 0:03:49.160 to 0:03:49.170 --> 0:03:52.340 it's nice or not myself. Like, you know, there are 0:03:52.340 --> 0:03:54.860 layers that complexity, can understand 0:03:54.860 --> 0:03:58.500 that? I can honestly see it, like, radiating from him 0:03:58.500 --> 0:04:00.310 right now. Like, you would be so upset if you 0:04:00.310 --> 0:04:03.200 brought somebody to your favorite restaurant and that person didn't 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.270 quite appreciate it the same way as you. Okay, okay, so, 0:04:06.270 --> 0:04:09.570 common appreciation for food is more important for you 0:04:09.580 --> 0:04:11.300 rather than cooking. I mean if you understand the cooking 0:04:11.300 --> 0:04:14.880 process behind it, right? How the textures are incorporated into it, 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:17.360 how the flavors are incorporated into it. Yes, I think 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:17.960 that is 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.600 good to have. Yes. Yes, but the main thing is 0:04:21.610 --> 0:04:24.250 to be able to appreciate food as food is. 0:04:24.740 --> 0:04:27.409 So, here's the question because it's really interesting because you 0:04:27.410 --> 0:04:29.719 are you're a guy that loves to cook and appreciates 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.039 food as well and you know, at the same time 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:34.950 there's always been this societal pressure for us girls and 0:04:34.950 --> 0:04:38.610 women to be a little bit more skillful in the kitchen, right? 0:04:38.620 --> 0:04:39.350 I mean, I know that 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:41.440 it sounds a bit sexist to say that, but you know, 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:43.960 there are all these stereotypes you see in the movies 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.010 and in shows, I don't know for like ages now 0:04:46.010 --> 0:04:47.059 for years and years and years 0:04:47.140 --> 0:04:50.000 that the woman of the house is always expected to 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:51.460 like whip up a full like, I don't know, it 0:04:51.460 --> 0:04:53.070 cost me like the end of the day, you know, 0:04:53.070 --> 0:04:55.500 that kind of stuff? Right. What are your thoughts on this? Like, 0:04:55.510 --> 0:04:59.210 have you ever experienced that in real life, witnessed that 0:04:59.210 --> 0:05:00.609 scene that I don't know. 0:05:00.620 --> 0:05:02.150 Do you feel that way though? Like, do you feel 0:05:02.150 --> 0:05:04.159 that you have to do that? You 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:08.710 know, actually luckily for me? No, I in fact, in 0:05:08.710 --> 0:05:12.170 fact prior to the pandemic and to the lockdown and 0:05:12.170 --> 0:05:15.290 all that and the circuit breaker. All right. If I 0:05:15.290 --> 0:05:17.770 could use my kitchen to store my clothes and my shoes, 0:05:17.770 --> 0:05:21.179 I wear it, I'm serious. If I could use it 0:05:21.180 --> 0:05:23.550 as a storage place, I would, you know, like, I 0:05:23.550 --> 0:05:27.359 would not even know how to do basic things. I mean, 0:05:27.540 --> 0:05:29.770 aside from instant noodles and fighting, I mean that is, 0:05:29.770 --> 0:05:32.080 that is a given. I would be able to do 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:34.350 that just for pure survival back then when 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:35.800 I was in school and my parents were not home, 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:37.550 obviously I got to do something right. And that was 0:05:37.550 --> 0:05:39.480 my happiest time because I get to eat instant noodles 0:05:39.529 --> 0:05:42.340 with an egg. But I think, you know, over the 0:05:42.350 --> 0:05:45.450 course of the circuit breaker, you realize you can't dine out, right? 0:05:45.460 --> 0:05:48.400 I know a lot of people became like self proclaimed chefs. 0:05:48.410 --> 0:05:50.460 I was one of them, 0:05:50.540 --> 0:05:53.920 I experimented experimented, you know, I cook the stuff that 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.330 I like to eat while I'm out. You know, things 0:05:56.330 --> 0:05:58.360 that I couldn't exactly get from 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:00.760 like mom's cooking and stuff, even though that's always an 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:04.130 excellent choice so that it was only through that, that 0:06:04.130 --> 0:06:07.160 I learned how to cook a bit more admittedly I 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.160 just follow online recipes. That's right, but 0:06:10.540 --> 0:06:13.159 not exactly. So now that things have gotten a little 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:17.020 bit busier, right? I'm I'm sad to admit that I 0:06:17.020 --> 0:06:19.450 have kind of abandoned the kitchen a little bit, you know, 0:06:19.460 --> 0:06:22.550 I'm back to reconsidering it as a storage area, 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.750 but I've never felt that expectation to, 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:27.839 I must be able to cook somewhere. So 0:06:27.850 --> 0:06:30.180 no, not really. I don't know. I mean, thanks mom 0:06:30.180 --> 0:06:32.779 and dad for not having the expectation on me. You know, 0:06:32.790 --> 0:06:35.750 my mom honestly like she cooked for me my entire life. 0:06:35.750 --> 0:06:36.990 I'm not afraid to admit it. You know, a lot 0:06:36.990 --> 0:06:39.620 of us are very fortunate to have parents who do 0:06:39.620 --> 0:06:41.990 that right as well and we're very grateful for that. 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:45.180 I guess it just wasn't a natural inclination or interest 0:06:45.180 --> 0:06:48.130 that I had. Like I love to eat. That's one thing. 0:06:48.140 --> 0:06:51.239 But I also never really had a boyfriend that would 0:06:51.250 --> 0:06:52.950 expect me to cook for him though. 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.160 That's great. That's great. That's great. I mean 0:06:55.339 --> 0:06:58.710 as much as it is the expectation of from society, right, 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:00.859 that goes to cook. I think it's important that the 0:07:00.860 --> 0:07:04.250 partner doesn't impose their expectation. Also, it's like 0:07:04.740 --> 0:07:07.240 when I'm sick, I don't expect someone to cook for me, 0:07:07.250 --> 0:07:08.990 I will go to the market. I would like make 0:07:08.990 --> 0:07:11.500 something for myself, right? I think it's a bit unfair 0:07:11.510 --> 0:07:15.970 to just put on your partner a marriageable material, that 0:07:15.970 --> 0:07:18.510 sort of thing. Like a like a big factor factor. 0:07:18.510 --> 0:07:20.640 Like if I'm sick you must cook for me, right? 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:22.420 So entitled. I don't understand that. 0:07:22.430 --> 0:07:25.390 So basically you're like the perfect guy, love for anyone 0:07:25.390 --> 0:07:28.480 who's tuning right now and who would like someone who 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:30.060 has not much expectations in cooking. 0:07:30.140 --> 0:07:31.970 He's it He's it. Also 0:07:31.970 --> 0:07:35.480 because also because because I spill some tea. What when 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:37.970 my mom was talking to me someday somehow? Like, I 0:07:37.980 --> 0:07:39.350 think last year, something like that 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:43.560 next time, right? If you've got a girlfriend right, you 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:46.440 get a family of your own er they're quite good 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:50.970 life on it. Don't cook, don't do chores because all 0:07:50.970 --> 0:07:52.910 these things, right? My mom has trained me from young 0:07:52.910 --> 0:07:55.860 to do it. I started cooking at like secondary school. 0:07:55.940 --> 0:07:58.830 Oh, that's how you started I started young because of 0:07:58.830 --> 0:08:01.240 my grandma because of my mother. Yeah, 0:08:01.340 --> 0:08:03.850 I think there's this quote right by Marco Pierre White. 0:08:03.860 --> 0:08:08.060 This is like behind every cook is a childhood growing 0:08:08.060 --> 0:08:08.560 up with 0:08:08.940 --> 0:08:13.240 mom that cooks or that that cooks interesting. 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.120 What was the first dish that you learn how to cook? 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:16.020 Do you remember 0:08:16.030 --> 0:08:20.180 fries? Okay. Leftover rice? Right, and just just right, Yeah. 0:08:20.190 --> 0:08:23.440 And what then sparked off your interest to continue because 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:25.460 some people do it just because they have to, 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.550 you know Phil themselves or like just eat, but you 0:08:28.550 --> 0:08:31.239 obviously carried on and it became a career for you 0:08:31.250 --> 0:08:33.350 and your mom proud. Like, your grandma, 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:36.819 my mom's more confused and like how I ended up here. 0:08:36.830 --> 0:08:40.189 Why suddenly you are cooking in front of the camera 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.420 you made a career for? Yeah. Yeah, that's, I mean 0:08:42.420 --> 0:08:44.429 that's what I do now. So I always say it's 0:08:44.429 --> 0:08:46.370 a huge thanksgiving is a huge privilege, right? Do we 0:08:46.370 --> 0:08:50.710 have to like cook without anyone's expectations just for work? 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:52.580 So I felt like I was in the kitchen for work. 0:08:52.590 --> 0:08:56.800 I'm okay. And like every day, every other day when 0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:58.160 we're shooting. Yes. 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.480 And that's a good thing because you're like chefs, right, 0:09:00.490 --> 0:09:02.350 hawkers out there. They could and people be like 0:09:02.740 --> 0:09:04.290 while your food not nice one and then they will 0:09:04.290 --> 0:09:06.040 go and bash you. But I cook for my colleagues 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:08.780 that they cannot be not nice. It's not nice. Your 0:09:09.220 --> 0:09:11.930 they are forced to say that. So I'm like, okay, 0:09:11.950 --> 0:09:14.800 I'm gonna expectations I can cook, I can like pace myself. 0:09:14.809 --> 0:09:17.350 You know, it's like a meditative process, your food. Smr 0:09:17.540 --> 0:09:19.359 Yes. On instinct 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:22.910 crunches. I don't find it very meditative. In fact, the 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:25.100 prep part is the part that I hate the most 0:09:25.110 --> 0:09:28.630 even bought this garlic cutter. Right? This okay. Why do 0:09:28.630 --> 0:09:32.770 you have that face? Just a nice. Okay, so, so 0:09:32.780 --> 0:09:35.459 it's basically this contraption that my friend got from me 0:09:35.470 --> 0:09:38.819 because he knows that I'm lazy. It's like a container. Okay. 0:09:38.820 --> 0:09:42.680 Imagine like a plastic container, but inside there are blades 0:09:42.690 --> 0:09:43.359 on the cap. 0:09:43.940 --> 0:09:46.120 Then you close the cap of the container, then there's 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:50.120 a string here outside with a little handle that pull 0:09:50.130 --> 0:09:53.220 and then the blade goes like this and then the 0:09:53.220 --> 0:09:54.370 garlic cuts by itself. 0:09:54.380 --> 0:09:58.920 So it's like a manual blender. It's a manual blender blender. 0:09:58.929 --> 0:10:00.260 It's a manual 0:10:00.540 --> 0:10:01.970 actually. Now that he says it that way is a 0:10:01.970 --> 0:10:04.240 manual blender sounds kind of lame love but it should 0:10:04.250 --> 0:10:07.090 be okay but it's not as hardcore as a blender. 0:10:07.090 --> 0:10:09.890 So if I want the garlic to be chunkier can 0:10:09.890 --> 0:10:13.100 control it. But if it's a blender I'm like it's 0:10:13.100 --> 0:10:15.350 gone into. Yeah exactly. Yeah. 0:10:15.740 --> 0:10:17.600 See genius. Right. How do you use 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.270 that or No, no. I like the sound of the 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:22.160 knife against the ball. Right. 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:27.250 Right. That cannot relate. Okay like that. Okay. So would 0:10:27.250 --> 0:10:30.520 you then agree with this statement? The way to a 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:34.750 man's heart is through his stomach? Do you agree with that? 0:10:35.340 --> 0:10:38.660 I think the way to anyone's heart really? So 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:40.640 a lot of my friends are getting married right at 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:42.990 this age so one of the I just asked this 0:10:42.990 --> 0:10:45.110 question to them just the other day, what can your 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:47.250 wife cook because they're going to move in together? Right 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:48.280 well then you 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:49.000 ask that question 0:10:50.230 --> 0:10:52.200 Because your housewarming, right, do you want me to like 0:10:52.470 --> 0:10:54.719 do you want me to cook potluck or anything or 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:57.020 is your wife going to cook something for the family? 0:10:57.020 --> 0:10:58.660 And are you guys going to cook some? Not just 0:10:58.660 --> 0:11:03.060 your wife. Just reflect me 11 text which is Maggie. 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:05.970 No really Maggie during I love it. It's 0:11:05.970 --> 0:11:11.410 just Maggie. Okay. Mr Noodle's right to that question. Right? 0:11:11.420 --> 0:11:14.550 Not all guys would require that. Yes. 0:11:14.940 --> 0:11:17.610 I think it's always good to have to know that 0:11:17.620 --> 0:11:20.860 you don't have to eat take out porridge when you're sick, 0:11:20.870 --> 0:11:24.300 you don't have to fast over like or do I 0:11:24.300 --> 0:11:25.460 have can I like 0:11:25.940 --> 0:11:28.690 Eat all these simple food but I got to spend 0:11:28.690 --> 0:11:30.620 it for $5 on it. Yes and I have to 0:11:30.620 --> 0:11:33.490 take the effort to like spend extra for grab just 0:11:33.500 --> 0:11:35.920 take the effort to go down and buy what I 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:36.870 can do at home. But 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:40.199 if I go down if I if I take transportation 0:11:40.210 --> 0:11:42.679 to go to the supermarket and I buy the ingredients 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:43.960 and transported to go back, 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:45.680 do you think will all add up to be like 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:46.660 kind of the same 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.339 nowhere if you're sick, you don't know what I mean? 0:11:49.350 --> 0:11:49.700 Like 0:11:49.710 --> 0:11:52.850 Okay I mean that's provided I'm sick like aside from 0:11:52.850 --> 0:11:55.030 that you know like that that's why sometimes I just 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:58.750 opt to to like empower or to order in because 0:11:58.750 --> 0:12:00.870 I think of the effort that I have to go 0:12:00.870 --> 0:12:01.560 through 0:12:01.740 --> 0:12:03.870 to get the ingredients and all that and it kind 0:12:03.870 --> 0:12:05.679 of I don't know it kind of bums me out 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.220 sometimes the process the process, 0:12:08.230 --> 0:12:10.500 it's always we always say it's the journey and the 0:12:10.510 --> 0:12:12.500 people that you go on the journey with rather than 0:12:12.510 --> 0:12:13.590 the destination, Is that 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:16.540 google? Like cheesy quotes before you go to the 0:12:16.620 --> 0:12:18.610 podcast usually comes to it? 0:12:18.620 --> 0:12:21.880 That's it. Okay, so you just have cheesy quotes here 0:12:21.890 --> 0:12:24.260 just all the time. Okay. 0:12:24.340 --> 0:12:26.240 But I mean, you know, it's interesting because some studies 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:28.450 also show that we have certain neurons like in our 0:12:28.450 --> 0:12:31.150 stomach area where yeah, so that's why, you know, you 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:33.650 eat when you're emotional, do you sometimes feel that we're 0:12:33.650 --> 0:12:37.070 like when you're upset or angry, like angry? Oh, sorry, 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.940 you don't eat like when you're busy or you're angry 0:12:39.940 --> 0:12:42.340 and you're like, why don't you just do my thing? Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:12:42.350 --> 0:12:44.290 yeah. Something along those lines. Or when you're upset, then 0:12:44.290 --> 0:12:47.000 you eat more like, you know, ice cream. I don't 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:49.150 know what you eat when you're set. What do you, 0:12:49.540 --> 0:12:50.260 I don't know what I'm 0:12:50.260 --> 0:12:51.270 saying. I 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:54.760 just had, I'm like, okay, just like, just like a kid. 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:58.880 He's an interesting specimen of a man. Okay. Yeah. So 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.729 that's why, you know, I don't know whether sometimes when like, 0:13:01.730 --> 0:13:03.570 you know, you see your partner cooked like as a 0:13:03.570 --> 0:13:05.820 labor of love almost and you're like, wow, this is 0:13:05.820 --> 0:13:07.449 so good. It makes you happy. And then there's like 0:13:07.450 --> 0:13:08.460 a bond that 0:13:08.540 --> 0:13:10.550 maybe brings you closer in a way, 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:11.930 especially if you guys do it in the kitchen together. 0:13:11.940 --> 0:13:14.410 You know, like the cheesy movie scenes, right? They take 0:13:14.410 --> 0:13:17.119 the cake together, They throw the fly each other? My gosh, 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:17.260 that 0:13:17.260 --> 0:13:21.179 is so by the way, impractical. Like who cleans up 0:13:21.179 --> 0:13:25.470 the flood after that? Do you ever wonder? They're just like, yeah, exactly. Right. 0:13:25.470 --> 0:13:29.610 Like cut scene. So, so for you, you would cook 0:13:29.620 --> 0:13:32.530 with your partner in the kitchen like as an activity 0:13:32.540 --> 0:13:35.059 as a couple. If the partner is capable enough. 0:13:35.340 --> 0:13:37.880 What? It's not very, it's not coming to find trouble 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:39.910 only. That's true. That's true. I chased everyone out of 0:13:39.910 --> 0:13:40.320 the kitchen 0:13:40.690 --> 0:13:43.860 so don't touch this. Alright, recently I watched his enemy. 0:13:43.870 --> 0:13:45.820 So this is like my enemy in that part coming out. 0:13:45.830 --> 0:13:46.760 So 0:13:47.340 --> 0:13:50.750 there's this anyway, it's called and then there's like this 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:53.640 thing that the guy do that's like his special power. 0:13:53.650 --> 0:13:57.090 So he gets to create a domain for himself. So 0:13:57.090 --> 0:13:59.710 it's basically like domain expansion and then everything in there 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.860 reflects him. Okay. That's like me in my kitchen. Okay. 0:14:02.870 --> 0:14:05.809 I see. Okay. Okay. So nobody can come and like 0:14:05.809 --> 0:14:06.940 chop your business. Like 0:14:06.950 --> 0:14:08.890 don't come in. I'm doing my own thing and then 0:14:08.890 --> 0:14:10.340 you come here and take water. I think I think 0:14:11.140 --> 0:14:12.740 just just just just can't 0:14:12.740 --> 0:14:13.860 even come in and take drinks. 0:14:13.870 --> 0:14:16.090 I think I'll take you to send that I serve yourself. 0:14:16.090 --> 0:14:17.900 You never mind the mind cooking Ready? It's okay. It's okay. 0:14:17.910 --> 0:14:20.240 What else is your, what else are some of your 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:21.560 pet peeves in the kitchen and 0:14:21.740 --> 0:14:25.130 um I just kind of hit a red kitchen. Okay, 0:14:25.140 --> 0:14:28.910 like things that are on the table or table on the, 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:30.710 in the sink. I don't like the message? But 0:14:30.710 --> 0:14:33.160 the sink is meant to be wet though. 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.480 Just clean up or just dry it up. So all 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:37.370 my shoots, right. I always have a towel in my 0:14:37.370 --> 0:14:40.140 pocket just in case and you clean things up clean 0:14:40.140 --> 0:14:43.370 messes up or like wipe my hands dry something because 0:14:43.370 --> 0:14:44.920 if your hands are slippery, you can hold the panorama. 0:14:44.930 --> 0:14:46.150 You cannot toss the property market. 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:47.040 Wow. 0:14:47.050 --> 0:14:49.650 I think we cannot be in the same kitchen for me. 0:14:49.650 --> 0:14:52.570 Everything is an organized mess, like everything is all over 0:14:52.570 --> 0:14:55.000 the place, but I know where certain things are. I 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:58.320 was curious to know. Have you ever had a fight with, 0:14:58.330 --> 0:15:01.790 I don't know, being a partner or family member, whoever 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:05.020 because of something that happened that's in the kitchen or 0:15:05.020 --> 0:15:05.790 cooking related 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:10.360 or food related Julio's school me because I 0:15:10.740 --> 0:15:14.850 and ambitious sometimes I don't like some pilot one big 0:15:14.850 --> 0:15:16.560 pot of food, some was undercooked like 0:15:17.740 --> 0:15:22.810 multiple. So small, so small things that adds up to 0:15:22.810 --> 0:15:24.670 like one big thing. So when I fry the rest 0:15:24.670 --> 0:15:27.280 of our vegetables, ok. I would always like make the 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:31.530 stem of the mushrooms means all minister. So everything must 0:15:31.530 --> 0:15:33.690 have different textures. Right? When you cook, you must have 0:15:33.690 --> 0:15:35.500 fun way to cook. So like there are certain layers 0:15:35.500 --> 0:15:36.780 that you have to do it. Okay, so there's me 0:15:36.780 --> 0:15:37.660 kicking out, right? So 0:15:37.740 --> 0:15:39.660 mushroom has to be sliced have to be mean. So 0:15:39.660 --> 0:15:40.760 stem has to be means 0:15:40.940 --> 0:15:42.700 the top has to be sliced and then you've got 0:15:42.700 --> 0:15:46.010 to wash your vegetables, your garlic, right? And, and I 0:15:46.010 --> 0:15:47.450 think there's a key trick that a lot of people 0:15:47.450 --> 0:15:49.770 don't know. You cannot just like means your garlic. You 0:15:49.770 --> 0:15:50.080 use 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:53.330 a blender, you use use 0:15:53.330 --> 0:15:57.530 a manual, you have to cut them into like equal slices, 0:15:57.540 --> 0:16:00.670 equal for equal chunks and equal slices because it cooks 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.580 evenly and then you don't like burn some and then 0:16:03.580 --> 0:16:06.190 undercooked the others. So that's like for the garlic and 0:16:06.190 --> 0:16:09.350 then that's what we'll do, right? Is that our shredded ginger? Yes, 0:16:09.370 --> 0:16:11.920 I'll deep fry them first, Take it out and I 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:16.360 use them as your topping thing. Yes, Yes. So it's 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:17.860 falling on issues of all that, right? 0:16:17.940 --> 0:16:20.290 You get the crunchiness from the ginger, you'll get a 0:16:20.290 --> 0:16:23.100 fragrance from the mushrooms, you get a freshness from the 0:16:23.100 --> 0:16:27.720 vegetables and then whichever sources inside you just amplified anti additional, wow, 0:16:27.730 --> 0:16:30.980 this guy imperial treasure, please hire him. I mean seriously, 0:16:30.990 --> 0:16:33.270 you sound like you just without a meal that you 0:16:33.270 --> 0:16:35.200 can find that like crystal jade palace or 0:16:35.230 --> 0:16:38.150 it's a simple surprise ideas. So I was saying everything 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:40.470 adds up. So with all these different steps, right? There 0:16:40.470 --> 0:16:41.160 will be a 0:16:41.740 --> 0:16:43.930 complete dish will be a complete, there'll also be a 0:16:43.930 --> 0:16:44.979 complete mess in the sink. 0:16:44.990 --> 0:16:46.890 Yes. Yes, I understand what you mean. 0:16:46.900 --> 0:16:49.680 So people usually find me over there. I see why 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:52.600 this is so cluttered. I'm like, I can't do everything 0:16:52.610 --> 0:16:55.090 at once. You let me do dish, I do that 0:16:55.090 --> 0:16:59.100 once you have assistance, you basically get someone like anyone 0:16:59.100 --> 0:17:01.020 who's willing to help you wash the dishes while you 0:17:01.020 --> 0:17:01.660 move along. 0:17:01.940 --> 0:17:04.910
