"Are you bored with what you cook? If the answer is yes, and if you like
to have some homemade dishes this weekend, please come to my apartment.
Let's cook together!."

This is taken from an announcement in a community in Pudong district in
Shanghai, which has caught the attention of many. Five young people from
the neighbourhood answered it, and they gathered at the apartment of the
announcer last Saturday, throwing a banquet of five dishes.

Terry was the one who published the announcement. The six young people
came to his apartment after shopping for groceries in the supermarket and
started cooking.

Ray is from Sichuan province, and he cooked a "pockmarked grandma's
beancurd", a very famous Sichuan dish. Fei from Liaoning Province dished
out a large plate of fried meat to feed the six carnivores. Terry, as the
host, had a pot of steaming hot radish and spareribs soup ready well
before the gang of five arrived. CT stir-fried the stems of water
spinach, and he claimed that was a uique dish from Anhui. Being a bad
cook, Mu chose not to look on bu kept his hand full, helping the others
with trivial kitchen chores. Dinner was ready in less than an hour to the
satisfaction of each and everyone.

Ray, who often dined out with friends made on the Internet, said:
"Cooking by yourself is much more interesting, and homemade dishes are
always the most delicious."
