In both the mainland and TVB version of Ode To Gallantry(Xia Ke Xing), SPT is shown to be a pretty good cook. In fact this aspect of him is emphasised in the Mainland version. In that version, SPT actually won the heart of Ting Bu San with his culinary skills. Xie Yan Ke also misses his cooking after he left Touching Mountain Cliff. In the TVB version, SPT is relegated to a secondary character role, so, not much is shown of him. But in that version, Xie Yan Ke likes SPT's cooking a lot, so he must be a pretty good cook as well.
Is SPT a good cook also in the book? Or is his culinary skills not mentioned at all in the book?
