"Pastries are different from cakes; pastries generally should be eaten with tea. Drinking tea alone can taste bitter, but the sweetness of the pastry perfectly counters the flavor of the tea, while the tea in turn cuts through the richness of the pastry. In fact, pastries and cakes are not things that should be lumped together."
Chen Nuo first explained Sha Wujing's earlier remarks, then continued, "I don't yet know if you have a talent for desserts. In a couple of days, I'll teach you all to bake cakes. Those who do well can then follow me to learn how to make desserts."
Sun Wukong was stunned, "Master, what about me?"
"You've already learned cooking, where will you find the time to learn desserts?" Chen Nuo had no intention of teaching Sun Wukong how to make desserts because his temperament was simply not suited to it.
Everyone cooks based on their own feelings, which is why different people make dishes that taste different.
