I have actually asked this in a few countries, in China the most common answer I got was Peking duck or thousand year egg, every interesting processes.

I love to challenge myself in the kitchen, in fact its the only place I like to challenge myself.

Anyone who has worked in a kitchen commercially, what is your hardest dish, or one you just remember having the toughest time with? What specifically didn't go right?

Side note, I'm sorry I didn't see this was a science based community, I'm still interested in your answers but mods if you want I will remove the post

Question is valid. There's a lot of science-baced challenge to many dishes.
