Ho says she has been cooking traditional Chinese dishes for actor Dou since they started dating.

The late casino king’s heiress also bakes birthday cakes for her husband every year. She prepares homemade traditional dishes on holidays, such as yule log cakes on Christmas, instead of buying them from restaurants.

She has uploaded cooking tutorial videos to her social media accounts in which she instructs viewers on her own tips gathered from her own experience.

A skillful cook, Ho was invited to participate in "Ambassador’s Kitchen," a cooking reality show in China in which she demonstrated her abilities and received praise from professionals.

Many fans admire Dou for having "the perfect partner," who is not only pretty but also skillful at nurturing her family.

Ho, 32, is the daughter of the late casino mogul Stanley Ho and his third wife Ina Chan. Her father was renowned for his casino empire, while Forbes estimated her mother’s net worth at around $1 billion.

Dou, 35, is a renowned actor. His debut movie was "Under the Hawthorn Tree" directed by Zhang Yimou, while his other work includes "Dangerous Liaisons," "Time To Love," and "Princess Agents.

The couple held a multimillion dollar wedding in April this year.
