The martial arts legend felt bad

“Teresa took the menu and sorted it out, ordering with some English and French words mixed in,” Jackie said and continued, “It made me feel like an uneducated fool and I threw a little tantrum.” While Teresa tried to help him, Jackie didn’t take it well. He felt bad because he thought of himself as being uneducated, for which the martial arts legend decided to do something unusual. 

 

When Teresa suggested a medium-cooked steak, Jackie refused it and said, “No, I want it well-done.” While she wanted to have wine, he went with beer. When they ordered a soup, she drank it sip by sip with her spoon, but Jackie just devoured the soup through the bowl. When their steak arrived while she was taking her first bite, Jackie had already completed the whole steak.

It was a date that went horribly for both the martial arts legend and the Taiwanese singer.
