It's getting dark

stop whistling.

Can I sing then?

Hush!

Where are we sleeping today?

If they don't have a room,

there's always the pigpen.

Don't worry.

That's too stinky!

Stop whining!

Otherwise, I won't take you out next time.

Listen to me.

Don't nibble on food while cooking.

If there's not enough food,

I'll chop your hands off and use them.

Okay.

If you don't behave,

I'll send you back.

You won't get any food

with 11 brothers at home!

Don't do that, Master!

Don't send me back.

Here we are! Here we are!

See that house?

Let's go catering!

Let's go catering!

Go! Get the lead actress.

Stand-in girl,

you can leave.

Go take a nap in the back.

Don't snore too loud.

Cut! Cut! Cut!

Don't you know how to walk?

Where did we find her?

Who are you?

Hello! How is everyone?

I'm Chan Hsiao Wan.

I eat big bowls of stewed pork over rice.

My nickname is

"Slacker".

Not a pretty name?

This is my 382nd audition.

I should've been born

in a world of high-end fashion.

But God must have made a mistake.

Here's the file for Chan Hsiao Wan.

Load it into your computer.

And by accident I ended up

among a bunch of vegetables.

My dad was a famous catering master

in the South.

Known as Master Fly Spirit.

8 flies.

My stepmother is known as

Puffy.

This isn't just some ordinary fish.

It's a friend of "Vicky the Viking".

"Luffy" is its name.

You know, Luffy from "One Piece"?

He's the one that caught it!

Every time my dad cooked,

he turned into a monster.

His shack was so hot and humid.

It was worse than hell.

Whenever I feel bad,

I'd put a box over my head.

And enter into another world.

Yes.

I'm afraid of fish.

And I hate greasy smoke.

Dad always wanted me to cook.

But I just want to be a model

and live a fabulous life.

However,

even on his death bed,

my dad still wanted to give me

his notebook of recipes.

But

Dad, forgive me.

I never want to become a catering master.

Jerry, are you on your way back?

You don't need to buy a gift.

I've prepared a big dinner. Hurry back.

I also ordered a cake. Don't worry.

Surprise!

Cake delivery,

Hold on.

Here you go! 600.

Thanks!

You guys?

Don't worry.

We're not bad guys.

Are you Miss Chan Hsiao Wan?

Here.

Oh,

my boyfriend borrowed this.

Not me.

Didn't you sign as the guarantor?

I did. He asked me to sign it.

Right.

Nice!

Hey hey hey.

Where's your boyfriend?

He left for a for days

to see a property in Nantou.

Have you heard from him?

He said there's no reception there.

He told me not to call him.

He's on the run.

No.

He wouldn't do that.

He'll pay you back the money.

Silly girls like you

I've seen a lot of them.

Must be so lonely

celebrating a birthday by yourself.

So lonely.

Let's help you celebrate!

Get the candles!

We wish your cake gets moldy.

We wish you have no water to shower with.

We wish you see a ghost.

Wish you flunk all your tests.

Blow out the candles.

Cut the cake.

Let me show you how well I cut.

Hold that.

Happy Birthday!

I'll give you 3 days to get the money.

We're good at tracking and hunting.

We have all the information about you.

We know where your home is in the south.

Don't even think about hiding.

Call me anytime.

Poor lovely flower,

see you!

Hey hey hey.

What are you doing?

Hello.

My bag, my bag.

My cosmetics.

What?

They're not sausages?

Sausages my ass!

This is Chanel!

I guess I can't eat them.

All broken.

What the heck?

I'm getting rid of a fly.

It's a tattoo!

Oh!

It looks so real.

What kind of fly is it?

The kind that's none of your business.

What?

They're not sausages?

Are you looking for something?

No, no.

Is the fly still there?

Miss!

Is this yours?

Yes, thanks a lot.

In life...

there are some things we should forget.

But never forget your luggage.

Boss,

your sticky dumpling tastes bad.

No wonder business is so bad.

Here.

Gourmet Doctor

Yeh Ru Hai.

That's right.

I'm a gourmet doctor specializing in

transforming terrible food

from garbage into delicious dishes.

With me here,

your sticky dumplings are saved.

Mrs. Yang,

it's me. I'm Wan!

Wan!

You're so beautiful now.

I hardly recognized you.

Mrs. Yang,

what happened to my home?

Your mom

is on the run.

On the run?

Your mom told me

to give you her new address.

If you came home looking for her.

Don't worry.

I won't tell anyone.

Thanks Mrs. Yang.

Wang Chi Dan!

Did you forget your own business?

Yes, yes, yes.

Just stay there then.

Don't bother coming back.

You can get a job there as a busboy.

Wang Chi Dan, Wang Chi Dan,

You bastard.

Ma'am,

what's going on?

The owner of that restaurant.

Thinks she's still hot stuff.

Offers a dance show every Wednesday.

It's embarrassing at her age.

Let me tell you.

Being able to cook is what's important.

We're here to sell food, not ourselves.

You bastard, get your ass back here.

Don't have a hubby now

Don't have a hubby now

Sleep all by myself

Don't have a hubby now

Don't have a hubby now

For rice, for noodle and the aroma.

Come in, come in.

We have noodles and rice.

Come in, miss.

Come in and eat.

Come on, handsome.

Handsome.

Look at this hot girl.

Who is she?

Chan Hsiao Wan.

She's in show business.

She's in show business.

Isn't she pretty?

Yeah,

9.2 out of 10!

9.2 out of 10!

Why are you dancing out here?

Trying to attract more business.

How am I going to get by without money?

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.
