Fei Ma refuses to open a restaurant

When speaking about her love for cooking, she was asked whether she has plans to open a restaurant? She said: "I would definitely not. a lot of people said they will lend me money to open a private kitchen, but I have high demands. After teaching a lot of cooking masters, they may not even make the taste I want, but I have opened a hot pot restaurant in Malaysia. I have found a factory to create and adjust the perfect soup base". She smiled and said that she is now semi-retired, taking leisure time and attending events and does not want to increase physical exertion.

Has yet to propose

Luk Ho Ming was then asked about his wedding preparations, he said: "Waiting for Fei Ma to lend me her golden pig. In fact, the plan is getting married in two years. It would be good if it's next year, but I have yet to propose".

Gigi Wong: I have never fought with others

Gigi Wong's (黃淑儀) popularity is currently on the rise as her cooking show Eating Well with Madam Wong (吾淑吾食) is well-received. Six days ago, she and Luk Ho Ming attended Manning and France Staub Celebrity Chef Show (萬寧X法國Staub星廚Show). Gigi demonstrated how to cook her signature dishes, Lemon Chicken Wings and Simmering Shrimp on the spot and the appearance, smell, and taste successfully attracted many people.

Liza Wang's (汪明荃) new TV series Master of Destiny (風雲天地) is currently being broadcasted and has attracted numerous negative criticisms calling it a "plastic drama", a drama without quality. Old news regarding her and Liza at odds years ago due to their fighting for screen time was brought up again by the media. Gigi who was innocently dragged into the situation smilingly denied: "We weren't on bad terms, I've never liked fighting with others! As the saying goes 'You do what you do, I do what I do'. So if one doesn't have it, it's not worth mentioning at all. But we're both just about the same so that's why such rumors were brought up. For example when playing ball, if the opposite party serves the ball, I must have the ability to return it, so the ball can be thrown around!"  

Speaking of Luk Ho Ming and variety program partner Maria Cordero are becoming godmother and godson in July, Gigi who is also collaborating with Luk Ho Ming on her food program, thinks there shouldn't be comparison between her and Maria. She said: "Everyone has their own ways and everyone's tastes are different. There isn't a designated cooking method that is considered the best. Besides, people always think other people's things are better but the most important should be whether the dishes are right for the family's taste."

Ho Ming then expressed that he needed to kept a distance so as to avoid misunderstanding.

As such, Jacqueline kept laughing and tried hard to defend herself but disclosed she drunk the soup boiled by Johnson's mother before. She said: "Everyone is laughing at me. (Feel embarrassed?) Nope and I went to his house to have dinner together before. (Johnson's mother did not recognise you?) A group of friends went to his house together and his mother is a good cook. She boiled soup for me to drink too."

When asked if their rumours was true, Jacqueline emphasised they were good friends and praised Johnson was a filial son: "He is amusing and dotes on his mother. He is indeed a good man. (Any chance for development?) No thoughts of this. (Rumoured that Johnson was drunk during the celebration banquet of the series?) No idea as I left early,"
