When it comes to food, there's nothing quite like a good old fashioned trade-off. And that's exactly what happened when Jackson Wang and James corden swapped culinary delights from their homeland.
The Late Late Show host is known for his love of all things British, so it was only fitting that he should start by offering up some traditional English fare. Wang, on the other hand, decided to bring a taste of home to corden by sharing some of his favourite Chinese dishes.
The first item on the menu was a classic English breakfast, complete with bacon, eggs and toast. corden was clearly impressed with the spread, but Wang was quick to point out that he had something even better up his sleeve.
Next up was a dish of Chinese noodles, which corden described as "amazing". Wang was quick to agree, adding that they were "better than bacon".
The two then swapped plates and tucked in to their respective meals. corden was clearly enjoying the noodles, but Wang wasn't so sure about the English breakfast.
"The eggs are a bit runny," he said. "I'm not used to this."
corden, however, was more than happy with the trade-off. "I think we've got a winner," he said.
The two then moved on to the next item on the menu: a classic Chinese dumpling. corden was clearly impressed with the dish, but Wang wasn't so sure.
corden, however, was quick to defend the dumpling. "No, it's not," he said. "It's perfect."
The two then swapped plates again and tucked in to their respective meals. corden was clearly enjoying the dumpling, but Wang wasn't so sure about the English breakfast.
"The eggs are a bit runny," he said. "I'm not used to this."
corden, however, was more than happy with the trade-off. "I think we've got a winner," he said.
