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.

Your food sucks!

The catering master's a woman.

That's why.

I'm a man.

I'm so mad.

Don't be mad, Director Hong.

Come on, let's go have a drink.

Dad's marvelous reputation

totally ruined by you.

So there's a popular saying now:

"Pigs will throw up"

"Cats will run screaming"

"We'd rather go hungry"

"than having to eat;'

"Puffy's food. "

It's not funny!

I lost my shirt on this bet.

Dad said you're not cut out for this.

You were just asking for trouble.

Your dad said you had talent. So?

Ran off to Taipei to be a "model".

I still haven't seen you on TV.

Or are you actually

an adult video actress?

How can you say that?

What do you want me to say?

Did I say it's bad to be an AV actress?

Being an AV actress

is also a real profession.

The way you say

sounds like you look down on them.

I don't!

You do!

I don't!

You do!

So, are you really an AV actress now?

So what if I am?

Then I want to watch it.

Show me!

Show you what?

I want to watch it.

Are you in softcore or hardcore?

I'm not in either!

I will never be an AV actress!

Have you shown all your body parts?

Stop it!

Please come in.

What can I get for you

three handsome boys?

We're not handsome boys.

We are

"Animals on Call".

I'm Monster Tsai.

I'm Beast Liu.

I'm Demon Li.

Rice with Pork Chop.

Rice with Chicken Leg.

Fried Rice with Egg.

Okay!

Right away.

Put the tomato in here.

Put it in.

All of it, all of it.

When Ah Fa was a kid

he wanted Scrambled Tomato

and Eggs every afternoon.

Now he's in prison

so it's hard to eat what he wants.

Did you draw this?

Yes.

It's really good.

Auntie,

is that a century egg?

Yes, it is.

You made it yourself?

Yes.

Feel free to try it.

It has a tea flavor.

You're an expert.

We soak it with tea leaves.

Dump that a**hole!

Such a stupid girl.

Who are you talking to?

Hsia.

Hsia?

Who's she?

A character on this show.

Why haven't you taken a bath yet?

The show's not over.

When are you going back?

I'm not going back.

Why?

I'm on the run.

Maybe we can run away together.

How much you owe?

Around 900 thousand.

That's a lot!

Hard to make money in the AV business?

You're not popular anymore.

You silly girl.

Dump that a**hole.

Hey,

what are you looking at?

Just checking on their business today.

They have a new "spicy" girl.

But their business

isn't any better.

I've told you many times.

Tasty is more important than spicy.

Spicy is really important, too.

Here.

Ma'am,

do you want

to make your beef stew tastier?

I'm Doctor Gourmet.

Why do you dress like

an elevator girl everyday?

It's called fashion.

You just don't understand.

It's more like flashing to me.

Welcome.

Animals on Call, right?

What would you like to have?

Fried Rice with Egg.

Rice with Pork Chop.

Rice with Chicken Leg.

Same as yesterday?

In different order.

I had Rice with Pork Chop last time.

Just a second. Have a seat.

Can we take a picture with you?

Sure.

We've decided to start a fan club for you.

We've decided to start a fan club for you.

If you're ever in trouble,

just call us.

We'll take care of everything.

I want a picture too.

Here.

Over here.

Come on,

one more.

Have a seat!

What are you having?

Have a seat!

Hello.

I'm Mr. Huang.

I'm looking for Master Fly Spirit.

Master Fly Spirit?

How did you find this place?

His neighbor's wife told us.

Don't worry.

I won't tell anyone.

Why are you looking for him?

I'd like him to cater for me.

For your grandson's wedding?

No.

It's for our wedding.

Congratulations!

How many tables?

Just one table, ten courses.

And I have the menu.

Let me see.

Eight Treasures Rice Cake Rolls,

Darkened Vinegar Prawns,

Stuffed Sea Eels.

Why these traditional dishes?

50 years ago,

we met for the first time

at a wedding banquet.

They served these 10 courses.

Wow,

first love.

So for our own wedding,

we want to have the same courses.

It was the best food I have ever had.

The catering master for that banquet was

was...

...Master Tiger Nose.

We heard that he retired

and passed his skills onto an apprentice

named Master Fly Spirit.

Sorry.

But

Master Fly Spirit passed away.

Huh?

Sorry.

I should have told you earlier.

I'm his wife.

But

these 10 courses you want

I don't know how to make them.

You don't have to make all 10 courses.

It is okay to have just some of them.

I don't know how to make any of them.

It's okay if we don't have a wedding.

I'm happy the way things are.

Sorry to bother you.

Thank you.

Hold on.

I'll take care of the catering.

Who are you?

I'm Master Fly Spirit's daughter.

When's the wedding?

We haven't set a date yet.

But she says

if we have traditional courses

the wedding will mean more.

No problem.

Uncle, give me your phone number.

I need some time to prepare.

I'll call you as soon as I'm ready.

Are you sure you can handle it?

Your happiness

is in my hands.

Great.

That's great.

This is my phone number.

Thanks again.

My pleasure.

Thank you.

Get ready for your wedding banquet.

Sorry.

Why are you all staring at me?

Waiting to hear your plans.

I don't have any plans.

I'm just thinking of what I can wear

to the wedding that day.

You see?

She's a real character.

What a cute character!

Thanks.

Crazy.

You promised something you can't deliver.

You might as will have promised

that you could deliver them a baby.

I have my dad's book of recipes.

It must have recipes for

these courses in it.

Really?

Why didn't you say so?

But I lost it...

Why didn't you say so?

I once saw a website

about a Doctor Gourmet

who teaches cooking.

He can make almost any dish.

Yes, yes! Call Doctor Gourmet!

Here's the phone number.

"House Call, Catering Support,

Solving all your Gastronomic Needs. "

Sounds more like Doctor Urology to me.

Hello.

Hello, is this Doctor Gourmet?

Speaking.

Never forget your luggage.

You?
