HE may be just seven, but he has cooked up a storm on the Internet over his stir-frying skill.
A video of Year One pupil Guo Jun Yi making fried noodles has since gathered more than 840,000 views on social media.
According to China Press, Jun Yi is the youngest child of Huang Hui Feng, 32, and Guo Ming Jie, 37, who run a coffee shop in Sungai Siput, Perak.
Huang said she and her husband wanted their children to learn to be independent from a young age and often get them to help at their shop.
Jun Yi had expressed his desire to learn cooking but his father felt that he was too young and was afraid that he could accidentally burn himself.
The boy’s godfather, Lu Wei Qiang, 49, then took him under his wing and taught him cooking.
Huang said the skill did not come naturally to Jun Yi, as he ended up burning the food in his first few tries.
However, after practising for one whole month, Jun Yi managed to come up with a perfect stir-fry and today, he can cook simple dishes without supervision and even take customers’ orders.
> A female influencer in China is set to make a comeback online after miraculously surviving a 35-floor fall, Oriental Daily reported.
Wan An An, 27, fell from the 35th floor of a residential building in Changsha city, Hunan, in June last year.
She suffered multiple injuries including intracranial bleeding, broken ribs, a fractured skull and ruptured liver, gallbladder, bladder and kidneys.
She underwent 10 surgeries and regained consciousness after 50 days.
Her right leg was amputated and is due to be fitted with a prosthetic leg soon.
She survived thanks to a tree and some bushes which cushioned her fall.
Holding back tears, she described the long and painful journey to recovery, which was made worse by memory loss and muscle atrophy.
“Happiness is seeing what you have, rather than dwelling on what you have lost,” she said, while encouraging people not to lose hope.
