Dad gave us the recipe for his famous dish, we decided to try making it ourselves. This was the result:
这道菜是把苦瓜和南瓜一同用蒜蓉和豆豉来炆。南瓜和苦瓜一甜一苦，于是被命名为甘苦与共。旁边的小蝶里是用辣酱，番茄酱和醋配的调料。吃的时候沾沾调的酱，味道出奇的好。
The dish contains 5 flavours: sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and spicy which is analogue to how there are so many different flavours to life.
