Is the fly gone yet?

Still there, hasn't flown away.

You two know each other?

We've met.

What a coincidence.

Come in first.

Okay.

See you.

So

you're a chef?

Not a regular chef.

I'm Doctor Gourmet.

Amazing.

So, you know how to make these courses?

Let me see.

You have shrimp,

bamboo shoot and mushroom?

Yes.

Then...

let's do it.

Cool!

"Northern Gourmet Doctor with 16 Knives"

is my full nickname.

So you live in the North?

Taoyuan.

Is Taoyuan considered the North?

North of Taichung is considered North.

Welcome to the South.

Are you going to cook?

Yes!

Good, hurry! Move it!

This way.

North.

Wow.

Wow.

Wow.

Wow.

Wow.

Wow wow wow wow wow.

Delicious!

Make another dish.

I only know this one dish.

What?

This can't be.

A couple's happiness is in your hands!

You know they're relying on you?

Uh,

I thought their happiness

was in your hands?

These are all traditional courses.

You know that?

We know.

They're my dad's specialties.

He's Master Fly Spirit.

Master Fly Spirit is your dad?

He's a legend!

But he passed away,

and we can't make them.

What about you, Ma'am?

I'm all mouth and no hands.

I have a rough idea.

Very rough.

I've tried these courses.

But the taste...

I forgot.

I'm spending the next few days in Tainan.

How about

I stop by and work on it everyday.

Great! Thank you.

You're welcome.

Silly Girl is blowing her horn

Do So La Si Fa

In my hands it's so beautiful

with a sparkling glow

I have a lovely voice

Do So La Si Fa

Your eyes are so beautiful...

Didn't you see us earlier?

I didn't notice you.

What were you singing?

Something I wrote.

Sounds nice.

What course do you want to try today?

Chrysanthemum with Bamboo

and Scallop.

Great.

Let's do it.

The flavor's not right.

Not right.

Not right.

It's off.

Think about it.

I'm going to watch TV.

You must really like eating eggs.

They're for something else.

What dish is it for?

It's called Eggs' Happiness.

What the heck is that?

I'll tell you a story.

Ming had a crush for May for a while.

One day, Ming bravely told May.

"May, I've liked you for a long time. "

"Can we go steady?"

"But you're too pale. "

"I don't like men that are too pale. "

May walks away without looking back.

Ming is heart-broken.

But he tries hard to change himself.

One day, while walking down the street,

May hears someone calling her

from behind.

"May!"

"You are...?"

"I'm Ming. "

"I've tanned in Kenting

for a week for you. "

"Do you like it?"

"You're very handsome. "

"Now you're just my type. "

They start going steady,

get married,

and live happily ever after.

Then...

it's not over yet?

And then they have a baby tea egg.

Who on earth told you this story?

I made it up myself.

Very creative.

(Stylish New Dish: Eggs' Happiness)

Hi, handsome.

Come have some noodle.

Come have some noodle.

We have noodles and rice.

So flavorful and flaky.

This is

like a scorching desert

drenched in spring rain.

Nice description.

Really?

I've never had this.

What's it called?

I don't have a name for it yet.

Lotus, Cilantro, Chinese yam...

Lotus... Yam... Lo... Ya

Lo Ya... Loving Ya.

"Loving Ya", it is!

Beautiful!

Nice!

Hello.

Uncle, how are you?

Almost there.

Working on 2 more courses.

I guarantee it will be great.

Let you have " Yesterday Once More "

all the way

Great!

We'll let you know when they're ready.

Okay.

Okay okay.

The old uncle just called.

That was a nice response.

Nice my ass!

What should we do now?

Was Master Fly Spirit their caterer?

No, her dad wasn't that old.

It was his master, Master Tiger Nose.

Master Tiger Nose!

Yes.

He knows every recipe in the world.

He must know all the traditional courses.

Right!

I wonder what he's doing now?

Master!

I haven't seen you in so long!

How are you?

Hsia, did you miss me?

Hsia again?

Miss,

hurry and get my bottle of Cognac.

All right,

let's have a drink first.

Drink first.

After a drink,

I'll take you out for some fun.

I don't want to go out.

I just want to ask you

if you know any good traditional dishes

that you can teach us?

Sure, I can teach you how to dance!

I'll take both of you.

What's wrong with him?

Let me try.

Okay, you're in show business.

Master Tiger Nose,

I can be your

new girl.

Very cute, very cute.

Hurry,

bring out the 25-year-old bottle.

That's okay!

Master Tiger Nose,

I'm so hungry right now.

Why didn't you say so?

I'll cook for you.

Good, good.

I want to eat your

most famous dish.

No problem.

Rosemary!

Fried Rice Noodle!

Fried Rice Noodle?

Master,

is this your most famous dish?

Anything else?

Brother Tiger Nose!

Any more famous dishes?

Who are you?

I'm your new girl.

New girl?

Then who am I?

Damn,

what happened to him?

Grandpa is tired.

Too good!

How can it taste so good?

Rice noodles are made from rice

but it's turned into something better.

Rice would be so proud to see

what rice noodles have become.

This is the best Fried Rice Noodle.

This is really the best Fried Rice Noodle!

Ma'am,

tomorrow I'm catering for a councilman

at his house.

His guest requested Fried Rice Noodle.

Can you go and make it for them?

Hello, Chairman Hsu.

The chef today is very famous.

He often helps out at big restaurants.

Miss,

is the Fried Rice Noodle ready?

Chairman Hsu loves to eat

Fried Rice Noodle.

Coming right up.

Here comes the Fried Rice Noodle.

Puffy!

What the hell are you doing here?

What's wrong?

She catered for me last time.

The food she made was inedible.

She humiliated me.

Don't worry!

She's not the catering master today!

She made the Fried Rice Noodle though.

What?

Chairman Hsu, you'd better not touch it.

Or else you'll get a stomachache.

I want to try it.

Here.

Let me serve you.

Please.

(Back-Site Station)

50 years ago,

I left with Hsiung to Taipei for a new start.

Hsiung.

What are you doing here?

Nothing.

I made this for you.

To eat on the road.

All right!

Hurry home now!

You can have it.

I've eaten so much I'm sick of it.

After that, every time I went home

she asked me to take Fried Rice Noodle

to Hsiung.

Hsu,

give this to Hsiung for me.

Actually,

I ate all the Fried Rice Noodle myself.

Hsiung already had another girl in Taipei

and had forgotten about her.

This went on for a year

before I completely lost touch with her.

I heard she went to

Taipei looking for Hsiung.

Though Hsia never made

Fried Rice Noodle for me,

I could never forget this flavor.

Hsia?

Ever since then, I've never had

Fried Rice Noodle this good again.

Thank you so much.

See!

I told you she's a great catering master.

You make wonderful food.

You should enter the

National Catering Contest.

National Catering Contest?

The government's putting it on.

I'm a consultant and sponsor.

First place wins 1 million.

1 million?

It's 1 million!

We should sign up for it.

It's not a contest for

best Fried Rice Noodle.

Ma'am.

What are you doing here now?

I'd like to borrow your scooter.
