(CNA Reporter Hung Su-chin, Taipei, 22nd) Entertainer Sam Tseng's cooking show "Stylish Man - The Chef" has entered its 20th anniversary, breaking the record for Taiwanese cooking shows. He admitted that hosting this program is like managing a marriage, familiar yet maintaining a sense of freshness. Speaking of his recent situation, Tseng revealed that his body's cancer index is slightly high and needs more attention.
The cooking program "Stylish Man - The Chef" enters its 20th anniversary, officially broadcasting its 4,270th episode, setting a new record for Taiwanese cooking shows and achieving great ratings. Today, a promotional press conference for the program was held, attended by hosts Sam Tseng, Genie Chuo, and Wu Bing-cheng. Tseng stated that it is not easy for a program to last 20 years, "I enjoy it very much, possessing an overflowing happiness, and a great sense of achievement." He described hosting the show as having the deep mutual understanding of an old married couple—familiar, yet still fresh.
Genie Chuo mentioned that she is often arranged to compete against Tseng on the show, and both are highly competitive, creating plenty of sparks. Chef Wu Bing-cheng analyzed that Tseng learns cooking quickly but seasons heavily and is generous with spices; Chuo is more delicate and cautious with a lighter touch. Both have their own characteristics, but if they teamed up, they would be invincible.
Regarding his recent status, Tseng, having hosted food programs for a long time, admitted that body management and health are huge challenges. He has actively lost weight since last year, currently dropping to over 80 kilograms, and continues to arrange exercise to maintain his physique. However, a recent health check found his cancer index to be slightly elevated, needing extra care.
In addition, Tseng recently sold a large luxury home in Neihu. He admitted that the main reason was to take care of his elderly parents nearby, "My parents are both in their 80s, and they have felt weaker recently. It is easier to take care of them if we live together." (Editor: Chang Ya-ching) 1150422
