Try your hand at making one of Hong Kong's best-loved dishes


Sorrowful Dish was created by a chef in the 1990s for the movie The God Of Cookery. — Hong Kong Tourism Board

If you're a fan of Stephen Chow, you would probably remember one of his most popular movies from the 1990s, The God Of Cookery. In the film, Chow plays a celebrity chef aka the "God of Cookery", who gets conned by his own apprentice, and a business partner. He loses all his restaurants, his fame and worse, his credibility.

To regain all that, Chow teams up with lowly street vendors to come up with simple, delicious fare that everyone can enjoy. His new venture becomes a success, and his friends encourage him to join a competition to reclaim the title of God of Cookery.
