Voiceover of Opening Scene from Eat Drink Man Woman

The fish has been gutted; the meat has been breaded; and the kitchen has come alive! Join us, as we witness Mr. Chu as he prepares his signature dish. With over twenty years of experience running his own restaurant which he took over after his father, Chu is always busy and meticulous with his work. From seeing how quickly he prepares the fish, we can already see every minute of his lifetime poured into such a delicate process as cooking, making sure that every red pepper, every spice, and every tasty ingredient is factored into the final product in their correct amounts, all in the blink of an eye!

He works diligently, without pausing to even take a drink of water. He is used to the heat; it has been his home for most of his life, even as he was a little boy scrubbing pots for his father. Today, he is a Master Chef with three beautiful daughters, each to whom he is preparing this glorious banquet for this day. 

Watch as he steps out of the kitchen now to prepare the next half of the meal. The chicken pen he is walking towards was made by his father over forty years ago and still stands to house chickens today. He grabs one to kill for the meal, for his greatest dish of the banquet, “Chu’s General Chicken”, must use fresh meat for the full flavor to be savored. Chu’s restaurant garnered our attention first because of his commitment to sustainability, that is, raising his own livestock for his dishes. 


It does not take him long to prepare the rest of the meal. By now, the chicken has been prepared and so have all the other ingredients. He puts the buns in the cooker and waits while he puts the rest of his creations on the stove to heat. At this time, most of the heavy work is over and he can proceed to another task. Thus ends the busiest moment of a day in the life of Chef Chu.
