Chef Yan's style of presentation was infused with (and today continues to feature) humor using witticism, and international or local cultural references. During this program's original run he became known for his main catchphrase, "If Yan can cook, so can you, zai jian (goodbye in Mandarin Chinese)/zoi gin (goodbye in Cantonese)!", with which he signed off on each show. He used a second catchphrase, "Something fishy here! [sic]", used whenever he cooked seafood.[4] One of his other trademarks was to chop food frantically making music with a sharp cleaver while grinning toward the camera and audience. This show is shot on stage.
