happy belated birthday. my sis only bought shin chuuka ichiban starting on vol 5 so thank you for the translation! though i'm still going to refer the name they used on the official translation on my countery

i guess it make sense that mei lee is somewhat attached to li wen on later chapter because they know each other already, something i just found out now. but wu hu xing is rather hardcore to make someone only older by 2 years to mao to look as mature as xi er

happy birthday, thanks for your hard work!

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes and great to see you’re enjoying the manga! Also shout out to @hotstepper for the surprise and all the excellent typesetting and cleaning work ^_^

Happy birthday and thank you for translating!

the guy looked like he came straight out of JoJo

First of all, Happy Birthday!!! I hope you'll have a nice day!
Second, I really love you and your high quality scanlations!! Keep up the good work!　(*´ε`*)

Happy Birthday and thank you for all you hard work. I appreciate the fact that this manga is finally being picked up for translation. I hope that in the future more cooking manga is translated.

Happy Birthday, Synth! The translations are great. Thanks for your hard work!

Happy birthday Synth. Keep up the good work.

Chinese Underworld cooking sure is something if 15 years old look like that...
Happy birthday Synth. Thanks for your work.

Happy birthday, Synth!! Thanks for translating ?

I like how the guy is like I could help with slicing up meat if only I had my steel rod (lol how?)

happy birthday man..
i hope you continuing this work and maybe another old cooking manga like mister ajikko got traction to scans some more

thank you for the translation! And happy birthday Synth!

Yeah even in the anime this bugged me.. Leon does not look like someone whos two years older than Mao...more like ten years older
