How about this:

We try making all the

courses on the menu

and compete with the one we make best?

Okay!

Let's see.

We should put the turtle

in the pork belly first,

then stuff it into the chicken.

No,

I think we should take the pork belly

and put it in the chicken first.

Then put the turtle into the pork belly.

How's that different from what I said?

Enough.

You two figure it out.

Wan and I will do

the Spareribs with Water Chestnuts.

Why do we always get the hardest job?

You can do this dish then!

If you know how, then do it!

Listen, we've got 2 wins already.

We're just one stop away from first prize.

Let's work as a team.

Okay?

Okay! Okay!

We'll go do it over there.

Fine, fine.

Teamwork.

Fine, teamwork, teamwork.

Go for it!

We don't have any water chestnuts!

What should we do?

Work first on something else.

What else?

What can we make...

Here it is.

It's done.

Here.

Here.

How can you be so sick!

Sick?

Look,

I squeezed the turtle's head

into the chicken's behind,

then the chicken's head into the pork belly.

Perfect!

Gross!

I've got it.

You have to gut the chicken first.

Then stuff the turtle in.

Gut the chicken?

Right!

We have the best cutting knife here,

ready to go!

Hey hey hey.

They call me "The Sharpest Knife".

Great!

Awesome.

So amazing.

Amazing! Amazing!

Wait.

There's a hole here.

Not even a small hole?

No.

You can do better.

Go do it.

This belongs to Tsai.

500 pieces.

Do 500 pieces first.

Master,

we have to listen to music?

I thought I told you before.

Everyone should have a theme song

for his life.

And a different song

for every part.

So whenever you hear a particular song

it can take you back

to that part of your life.

After the scallions,

do the ham and mushroom.

I feel like an oriental tailor.

Go for it!

You have your song.

So do I.

Silly Girl is blowing her horn

Do So La Si Fa

Oops,

exploded again.

How come?

No big deal.

The turtle's still inside the chicken.

No.

It needs to be perfect. It can't explode.

Wrong flavor.

Let me think of a way.

What other way is there?

It's too tough,

like chewing a rubber band.

It's raining.

Take a break for now.

Your weather here in Taipei is weird,

so erratic.

Your weather here in Taipei is weird,

so erratic.

I don't know. Take a break.

Sunny this moment and raining the next.

Master Silly Mortal.

Master Silly Mortal.

Yes?

Master Silly Mortal, there you are.

Well,

I'm going to compete soon.

But I don't know what to do.

Your dad was so great, so famous.

And you don't know what to do.

It's not that.

I have to make traditional flavors.

Traditional flavors?

Traditional soy sauce might help

if you can find it.

Traditional soy sauce?

But without a traditional heart,

how can you make traditional flavors?

Traditional heart?

Come over again tomorrow night.

Good night.

You're taking this too seriously!

Where are Master Tiger Nose

and Rosemary?

They probably went out for a walk.

Thanks for the card.

Got a flush now.

The competition is tomorrow.

Aren't you nervous?

Very nervous. Flush!

Super nervous...

about getting a bad card!

Here comes my straight flush.

What straight flush?

You're going bust.

What a joke. No way.

Mark it down, mark it down.

Forget it, we're not keeping track.

No, let's stop playing.

You can't play this way.

Miss Wan!

You're so awesome!

We miss you!

You're going to win for sure.

Where are you guys?

Having beef noodles at the place

across from yours.

Say hi to the boss for me.

Boss, Miss Wan says "Hi. "

Good, hello.

I need your help.

No problem.

Tell us,

we'll make sure to deliver.

You guys are

internet experts.

Do you know

where to get traditional soy sauce?

I also need...

fresh water chestnuts.

So you need traditional soy sauce

and water chestnuts?

When do you need them?

Soon! The final round's tomorrow.

No problem! We'll make sure to deliver!

Search for traditional soy sauce first.

No need to search!

The best traditional soy sauce

is right here with me.

Wang Chi Dan.

Shut your mouth!

The soy sauce belongs to the Wangs.

I'll do whatever I want with it.

This soy sauce was handmade

the old fashioned way.

Based on the Wangs' secret family recipe

that's over a thousand years old.

Just a tiny drop of it

will turn tasteless food

into a delicacy.

King Yue once fueled himself

with vengeance

by eating a raw gall bladder dipped

in our soy sauce.

It was the only way to take the bitterness.

The great poet Su

also used our family's soy sauce

to create his renowned

stewed pork recipe.

However,

no one knows how to make it anymore.

Ever since my grandmother passed away.

This is the last jug on earth.

Take it and give it to Miss Wan!

You sure?

What I say goes!

You're the man!

But how come your stew isn't so good?

Yeah.

Why would I waste my family heirloom

on you kids?

We need to find water chestnuts too.

We have to get going.

Get out of here.

Master.

Hurry, come play.

Come over here.

Master,

we're playing "13 Pieces".

Did you think we're playing "Go Fish"?

13 pieces? I only have 8 pieces.

Hey, we're not playing "Deuces".

Let's go, let's go.

Who...

who's in 608?

608?

No one.

Come with me, bring the key.

Hey,

Jaws is coming to get you. Get out.

Hurry up.

It's coming!

Hurry up.

Go this way.

Hurry up.

Mom, keep your voice down.

You, faster!

Faster!

Turns out we can get water chestnuts in

Guan Tian.

We're lucky it's not far.

Sir, Sir.

I'm on Wan's team.

Can we start our preparation?

Station 1, station 1

We have a contestant here,

can we let them go right now?

Yeah, please go.

Thank you how much.

Okay.

No more pictures.

Here, get the ingredients ready.

Take another one...

No more.

Group picture, group picture.

Hurry up.

Are you happy?

Happy.

So what should we do first?

You can...

you can start with broth and fish paste.

What will you do then?

I'll...

I'll try the Chrysanthemum with

Bamboo and Scallop again.

But you failed last time.

Well, don't you know?

Chefs used to try and fail many times

before they could get a good flavor.

Sir, can we ask you a question?

Go ahead.

Can we find water chestnuts nearby?

This is the place.

But,

they've all been harvested already.

All gone?

All gone? Every single one!

Look around, all the fields are empty.

All gone.

There's nothing here either.

This guy says another place

might have them.

Where?

Ming Hsiung in Chia Yi.

Chia Yi?

No big deal, let's bolt over there!

Right! Nothing can stop us.

Let's go!

Hold on.

Where's Demon?

Demon!

Demon!

Demon!

What happened? Are you okay?

The soy sauce...

The last on earth.

The end of the Wang family.

Stop crying! Stand up!

There's still some left inside.

You better take what's left back to

Mr. Wang.

It's not enough anyway.

You have to beg him for forgiveness.

Put it in this bag.

Back already?

Sorry, Mr. Wang.

It broke...

only a third is left.

A third?

That's enough.
