I feel like the Chinese chef was not ready for this competition. He probably hasn't watched many of Thailand Iron chef show. If he did, it mean he didn't pay close attention to the details. Every competition of Thailand iron chef clearly shows exactly what the judges are looking for. They are looking for special complex recipes, not the regular food that you can find from the street or restaurant. It has to be special and with combination of ingredients, and with lots of other mixtures. But none of these found within the Chinese chef's dishes. Should have done a deeper study about Thailand Iron Chef's requirement and be more creative. Anyways it's a nice try.
