Quote:
"It is the classic immigrant story: Cherng and his chef father, Ming Tsai Cherng, who died in 1981, were fresh-off-the-jumbo-jet Chinese émigrés who built an empire one location at a time, starting with a Panda Inn in Pasadena, Calif., in 1973.
"Cherng grew up in Taiwan, the son of a chef who had fled with the retreating Kuomintang from the mainland in 1949. The Cherngs moved to Yokohama, Japan, in 1963, when his dad, Ming Tsai, got a job at a Chinese restaurant in Yamashita-cho, part of Yokohama's vast Chinatown.

(d) underbite (n): "occlusion in which the lower incisor teeth overlap the upper"
That is, the lower jaw protrudes.
(e) Altogether, the Cherngs, who might have born in China, spent roughly fourteen (14) years in Taiwan (1949-1963). 還這麼惦記著!

My comment:
(a) The phrases "not cut it" and "not cut the mustard" means the same, though their origins are obscure.
