Cook Teh was a resident of Tien's Landing and worked at the Teahouse as a head chef. Working under Cook Teh were several apprentices, most notably Dishwasher Wong, with whom he was very strict. He viewed Dishwasher Wong as little more than a vegetable cutter and described Wong as nothing when compared to himself. Unlike Dishwasher Wong, Cook Teh was rude, irritable and conceited. When asked about Tien's Landing, his advice was to walk around it. He did not believe in spirits, declaring they were stories for children and that he only believed what he saw.
