Give it to me.

It's embarrassing!

What's embarrassing about it?

It's the same as you being a "model".

Not even close.

What's your problem?

You come to pick a fight?

Did you eat yet?

Why did you open a restaurant here?

And why is our house foreclosed?

I owe money.

So much money that you lost the house?

I just lost a bet.

You placed a bet? On what?

Remember Tsai?

Of course, he was Dad's apprentice.

He's taken all your dad's old customers.

And even stole some of our best cooks.

He left me with no business.

And no way to make a living.

I heard he's in the

frozen food business now.

Why don't you just retire?

No way!

This mama can't stand to see

what they're doing.

Instead of simmering stock,

they use MSG.

They make ice sculptures with molds.

They use pre-processed flavoring.

And worst of all,

they serve fries at banquets.

I could eat some fries.

Yeah, fries are pretty good.

But for a banquet?

Kiss our catering tradition good bye.

If your dad knew about this

it would piss him off so bad

he'd rise from his grave to kick some ass.

Mom,

Dad was cremated. His ashes is in an urn.

Oh, right.

No matter what

he can't ruin your dad's reputation

as Master Fly Spirit.

Otherwise, people in future generations

will think that catering is nothing special.

So, you placed a bet with them?

Director Hong was going to ask Tsai

to cater a banquet for 30 tables.

I went to Hong

to ask for 10 tables.

Where did you get the self-confidence?

My self-confidence?

Who am I?

I'm a legend throughout this island.

Wife of the late Master Fly Spirit.

Why wouldn't I have self-confidence?

So what happened?

In order to defeat Tsai,

Mama threw in all my money and more.

For the cold starter I served

lobster, abalone,

sea-ear shell, mullet roe

and squid.

At the same time,

Tsai also served his cold starter.

Which also had lobster.

But my lobster was lying flat.

While his lobster was standing upright.

And also

blowing out smoke.

Then you lost on the first course.

It was followed by the chicken course.

He served

Chicken in a Pot.

Mama then served the winner...

We served

Stuffed Chicken

Dad used to say that

that dish was hard to make.

You have to remove the bones

and gizzards

from the chicken first.

Yes, and stuff ingredients inside

before steaming it.

Am I right?

You must have won this course.

I don't know why,

but the chicken's exploded.

What happened?

Cover it up with vegetables!

And then?

Everything else was a mess.

Crab Rice Cakes too hard.

Braised Ribs over done.

Buddha Jumping Over Wall too salty.

I can't explain how

even the sweet dessert soup

turned out salty.

No wonder people call you Puffy.
