Presentation style

Chef Yan's style of presentation was infused with (and today continues to feature) humor; during this program's original run he became known for his main catchphrase, "If Yan can, you can, Zai jian!", with which he signed off on each show. He used a second catchphrase, "Something fishy here! [sic]", used whenever he cooked seafood. One of his other trademarks was to chop food frantically with a sharp cleaver while grinning towards the camera.

gollark: There's a new standard for 12V-only PSUs too.

gollark: I'm not sure of the context of this, but there are probably microcontrollers or whatever which could do Bluetooth and not need some dedicated receiver on the other end.
gollark: You run the lowish-voltage DC from a solar panel through an inverter which converts it to AC.
