The same as a father, the executive chef of Ambassador hotel, Chien-Lung, Lin was touched by the event. This year, in order to express the deepest respect to fathers’ regretless pay, Chef Lin called his colleagues to support this event. As soon as fathers knew they could wear chef’s uniform to cook, they asked mothers to prepare for live broadcast to their friends. At first, we were worried that fathers can’t cook, but what we didn’t expect is that fathers won’t give up easily, the thoughts of winning defeated everything. Since this competition, some of them became bosom friends, and even have a family gathering.
