Tsai is confident about her cooking skills, explaining that her experience in the show helped her overcome her worries:

One thing Lilo loved most about being on the show was meeting the Ramsays, she said.

“Gordon Ramsay was supportive, and kind, and Tilly was my favorite because both of our dads are chefs and she’s always making fun of her dad and I love making fun of mine,” she joked.

Food Dream: To open a restaurant. She says she always loved cooking and helping out in the restaurant. Her dream is to someday open a fusion restaurant featuring Japanese and American cuisines.
