Shuai: "One of my favorite desserts is the ambrosia salad. I feel like that's so me because it's, like, it's trashy, but it's like, something that's playful."
Shuai: "I'm serving ambrosia salad to some of the best chefs in the world. I can't think of a better way to end my meal."
Presenting to Judges
"One of the most unique things I had moving down south was an ambrosia salad. So I just want to make it something that tasted like that, using seasonal pears, goji berries, a little bit of Italian meringue on top, pistachios for texture, and then just a little bit of toasted coconut, which is very traditional for ambrosia salad.
Judges
"Shuai's dish. Every bite is different every time you dig in there, and I think that's one of the most successful parts of this dish."
"I was really impressed at how light it was, bursting with the flavor of pear."
"This is, like, a really cool dessert."
