The scene illustrates metaphors of life and death. Death being that he lost his sense to taste, his connection with his daughter, and his inability to enhance a balanced life style. On the other hand, life illustrates Mr. Chu and Jia-Chen’s open expressions and feelings at the dinner table once Mr. Chu bounces back to his ability to taste again. In the scene and in the whole film, food symbolizes communication and expression of emotion.
