Sam Wong: “What is the Cantonese mentality towards cooking and eating? The Shanghainese prefer to wear beautiful clothes, maybe spend $100,000 on a watch to make yourself look pretty. The Cantonese would rather spend all their money eating the best things – fish maw, abalone. The saying here is that nothing belongs to you until it enters your stomach. This is our thinking."
