我能肯定地說我媽的廚藝算不上好。我喜歡調味得當的食物,像我太太的。但我仍然想讓我媽教我做飯,因爲這是我從小吃的味道,你懂的。

I can say for certain that my mother's cooking is by no means skillful. I prefer food that is actually properly seasoned, like my wife's. Nevertheless, I want my mother to teach me how to cook. It's her flavors that I've tasted since childhood, you see.
