Connie Chan Po Chu Complimented Steven Ma on his fried rice.
2010 1/17 Yesterday, A Watchdog’s Tale held a banquet event at the Lam Village. The attendees included Steven Ma, Linda Chung, Maggie Siu, Raymond Wong, and Natalie Tong etc. Steven said that ever since this series aired, many kids have taken to calling him Big Brother Doggie (Gao Gao Goh Goh) because they do not know his name. He thought that was rather cute. During the event the cast burned incense to pray for outstanding ratings for the upcoming weeks. Steven disclosed that the average rating for last week was about 32 points. He said if the series could garner an average rating of 34 points, he would be very satisfied indeed. His New Year’s wish was for everybody to enjoy good health for the rest of the new year.

Later, Steven rushed back to the city to shoot his new cooking series, 《大厨出马》. He had invited Connie Chan Po Chu to be his guest star, who brought along her son, Dexter Yeung. On the set, Steven promptly whipped up “Ma Zai Fried Rice” for Sister Po Chu to sample, who later complimented him for his cooking skill. She said she should now address him as Ma Yeh. Steven explained that he chose to cook fried rice because Sister Po Chu had once personally cooked some fried rice for a fundraising event. He also disclosed that for this program, he would only invite female guest stars because they looked so good when enjoying their food.

Steven said he has no problems doing simple home cooking, especially steam fish and soups. When asked if having a good cooking skill will attract the opposite sex to favor him? He smiled and said: I guess so, but I have a big problem, which is, I do not like to clean up. So must find a girlfriend who is willing to do the cleaning, in return, she doesn’t need to do the grocery shopping and cooking.”
