Can you quit nagging me?

You think I don't have enough troubles already?

You think I am making things up?

You think you are always right!

If you don't stop, I'll leave!

Excuse me

Here are today's cases, Ms. Yuen

And a document for you to review and sign

Thanks

We're starting. Please relax

Once you get the sample, will I be able to...

...have sex tonight?

Sure

Won't there be problems?

What kind of problems?

Today's my one-month anniversary with my boyfriend

I want to let him do it without a condom

Is that possible?

I'm not a consultant for your sex life, ma'am

If you're so worried, why don't you just lay off it for a day?

Come in

You got the info wrong on one of yesterday's patients, Ms. Yuen

I passed the report to Miss Lee. She might've made the mistake

But Miss Lee said...

Just talk to Miss Lee. She's responsible for it

Parcel for you

Thanks

Ms. Yuen, the supervisor wants to talk to you

Why are there so many errors on these two reports?

It's usually you who call people out on their errors

How do you explain your own errors?

Other people have seen them, too

How do you know it's my fault?

You signed off on them

The responsibility falls on you!

Look at this

this patient only needs pap smear, not a DNA test

This patient needs both,

but you only administered the pap smear

How do you explain these errors?

What's wrong with you?

It's been a while since you've taken a holiday

Take a few months off!

I'll sign off on it

"Dad's birthday dinner"

Watch out!

Siu Man

You're right on time, Siu Man

Siu Man's here!

Your dad was worried that you had to work overtime

Hey

Aunt

Here I come!

Traditional Steamed Tofu, Hakka-style Pork Belly!

Daughter, you're in luck!

Give me a hand

Careful, it's hot

Just an ordinary family meal

Happy birthday, Ping

Happy birthday!

Getting old is nothing to celebrate

A simple meal will do

Time to eat!

Have a crab claw

I don't eat crabs

- Here, eat up - You're just eating veggies?

You're becoming a picky eater

Siu Man? Why isn't Kuen here tonight?

- Right - He's still in Shanghai

I haven't seen him in six months

When are you going to have a kid for your dad to spoil?

Does Kuen call you every day?

That's good to know

My Hakka-style Pork Belly and Traditional Steamed Tofu

You guys have to try them!

Let me know if they're any good

- Sure! - It's great...

How does it taste?

It's... good...

Delicious...

I can tell from your faces that they're no good!

That's not it

They're a little bland, but still tasty!

That's right!

My taste buds are shot to hell now

Why don't you retire, Ping?

Siu Man's making good money now

You deserve a break

How can I just up and quit?

Siu Man's job pays

only 20 grand a month

How's that enough?

She works at a health clinic, not at a big hospital

She only earns enough to take care of herself

I've had enough

It's fine. Keep eating

Let's eat

Have some chicken

You guys enjoy

I barely said anything and off you ran!

Who asked you to wash dishes?!

Get back out there!

You better tell me the truth

What the hell is going on with you and Kuen?

We're doing just fine! Just stop asking!

"Just fine"?

Then why would you need this thing?!

This is shameful!

That's enough!

I got up at 6 this morning for work!

I came straight from work for your birthday!

Then you start blabbing about my job and my salary!

Don't I give you money every month already?

I've done as you asked all my life!

You wanted me out of the kitchen, so I stayed out

You wanted me to go to college, so I went to college

You wanted me to get married, so I got married!

I've even bought a flat

What more do you want from me?

Be careful!

How can you be so heavy?

I'll be heavier still

The hotel did all this?

I arranged all of this

You did?

When?

This afternoon

You're so beautiful

You've said it plenty of times today already

Because you're that beautiful

I need a shower first

Sure!

I'll join you!

Come on!

What are you doing here?

I've paid the management fee

The electronics store says the stereo you want is in stock

Kuen

Can we start over?

I'm ready for it...

I...

I can do it now

What is all this?

What are you doing?

Don't do this!

That's enough!

I've put the flat up for sale

People will be coming by to look at the place

You need to move out

Kuen

We need to observe him some time after the injection

We'll arrange a CT scan for Mr. Yuen ASAP

Dad

The landlord's son asked us to take down the restaurant's sign

Your dad got into a screaming match with him

if the authorities have no problem with it,

how is it dangerous?

We've had it up for 30 years, how can it be dangerous?

Wing Kee Restaurant is the most important thing to your dad

He refused to take down the sign even after the final notice

Then he argued with them

He got so worked up that he passed out

"Wing Kee Restaurant"

Put the boxes over there,

be careful with that

That's the sign. Take care of it

Hey... Sir!

Can't you wait until my boss is back from the hospital

before you deal with it?

What's going on?

They want to take down the sign

I'm in charge of the restaurant now,

but I never received any notice from you

You have no right to take down my sign

We notified the restaurant about the sign six months ago

A sign came down on a pedestrian near here last week

We've received a complaint about the danger your sign poses

We have to act, ma'am. Please cooperate

I don't care

I haven't seen a single notification.

Please leave

if you don't go right now,

I'm going to the media!

The government is acting unreasonably

Taking down my sign means taking down my restaurant!

You want a notification?

Here you go

The sign's been up for decades, sir

How can you just take it down like that?

I told you the boss is in the hospital

Let's go to the pier to watch the sunset

Siu Man!

Don't run around!

Let's go and play!

Be careful

Sure, let's go watch the sunset

Are you feeling ill?

You're skipping breakfast, right?

Check, please

67 dollars

Thanks

I want one... I want one...

It stinks! I can smell medicine

We're going now

Sorry about that

Hey, Siu Man!

I... saw these pretty flowers on the way here

So I thought I'd buy some

A little red would bring some life in here

Your lilies... are nice, too

Are you used to living back at home?

I'll ask them for a vase

I'll get it

Thanks

Ping!

You're awake?

Who are you?

Hi. You must be Siu Man

I'm Jiahao. I'm new here

I'm making Wing Kee Restaurant's signature chili oil

Taste this

I can't breathe!

I told you not to come in here! Get out!

My Cantonese is not great...

When I used to come here...

the chili oil was my favorite thing

This is the flavor I love!

We stopped making chili oil a long time ago

We've been using outside sources for 10 years

You've made a mess of the kitchen

Please clean it up before you go

"Hakka-style Pork Belly, Traditional Steamed Tofu - Not available"

Keung

- Morning! - Morning!

The usual?

Sure

Thanks

You have to pick pointy chillies

They are the most fragrant

You don't need to keep me company all day

Aren't you tired?

Mr. And Mrs. Fong

Whenever we're faced with problems we can't solve,

we become emotionally troubled, which complicates matters

I suggest...

we use sandplay therapy to work through your inner feelings

OK...

So just relax

Try taking in deep breaths

Relax yourself

Good

When you're ready

put your hands in the sand

Feel the sensation of the sand on your hands

Try and release your feelings from inside

You remember how it felt to be held by your mom?

Does it feel like that?

Why did mom leave?

Is it because mom is sick?

Siu Man!

Yuen Siu Man!

Why haven't you called me all these years?

We were in Australia...

14 years ago

14 years ago!

You could've contacted me

How could I?

When we landed at the airport, you ran off without a word

Like you never wanted to see me again

See? I can tell you're mad now

I still remember that night I was out late

and you waited all night for me

I know you were worried about me

I know you've always cared about me

Here's the address of my dance studio

Stop by anytime!

Remember to come

Siu Man!

It's just like our old chili oil, isn't it?

You know I don't eat spicy food

We hired a new cook, Jiahao

You've already met him, right?

Uncle Keung

Can you talk to me before you hire someone next time?

He just came back from Europe

He's a bargain, even with room and board included

Besides, Pang just quit out of the blue

Might as well give him a try

Let's try him out for now

Come on, Siu Man

You two will get along just fine

Wait, Tat

It'll look better with some cilantro on top

Come on, Jiahao

Don't be so meticulous. We're falling behind!

Come on... it'll taste better if it looks better

Don't just use your hands. That's dirty!

Just go make me two plates of fried rice!

Drinking in the kitchen isn't allowed!

What?

Drinking in the kitchen isn't allowed!

What did you say?

I said, drinking in the kitchen isn't allowed!

It's boiling in here! Why can't I have a drink?

What are you doing?

You...

Nicely played. Get back to that fried rice, man!

Check, please

55 dollars

Sorry, I only have a 50...

It's OK, pay the rest next time

Thanks... I'll do that

Time to eat!

That looks good!

Chicken Normandy

Try this, Uncle Keung

Siu Man

You know a lot of dishes, you must be a hit with the ladies

Cheers!

Speaking of the ladies,

How many foreign girls have you had? A dozen?

You guys think that highly of me?

A dozen is a lot?

Even I've had my share...

Damn, Uncle Keung

Are the girls' boobs this big?

You'll have to ask him

I hear French girls like to take the lead, is that true?

- I never dated one - You didn't?

- Are you for real? - Really

Let's drink!

Do you usually keep your mouth closed until a certain time of day?

Your mouth will stink if you don't speak

Uncle Keung said that you used to be a chef in Europe?

That's right

Why did you come to our restaurant?

Fancy restaurants won't hire you?

What's wrong with Wing Kee?

I like working with serious women

Are you Bing?

Siu Man?

I've already spoken to Keung

Here's everything you need

Keung said you wanted to check out the veggies first

There's no need for that

This is the best place in the market

Sorry, Bing

We won't be ordering for now

What?

"We won't be ordering for now"

I'll take a rain check for now. Thanks

Let's go. Come on

What's the matter

His veggies are no good

We'll buy these, the veggies here are fresher

Excuse me, ma'am

This place is expensive

We sell locally grown organic veggies here

Organic tastes much better

The corn from the New Territories is really sweet!

It'll be worth every cent

- Try it. - Sure, let me have some

And these... Thanks, ma'am

Do you know how much more the veggies here cost?

And there's not enough supplies of local veggies

What if...

What are you afraid of?

If you go over budget, I'll pay

Is this sweet?

Very sweet. Try it

So sweet!

Why did you hit me?

Be careful out there!

Take your time

You know your stuff

Local organic ginger is extra flavorful

How much for a catty?

8 dollars

I'll throw in delivery if you order in bulk

It was 6 dollars at the other place

It's fine. I like my ginger spicy, let's buy from this pretty lady

Ginger has to taste spicy! Am I right?

Where are you going? Wait

You're just like those geezers at the market,

flirting with girls left and right

Are you friends with her or something?

It's normal to compliment girls in France, it's part of the greeting.

Bonjour!

See? Just a greeting. It's totally normal

How do you imagine the world outside the castle?

Why don't we try doing it?

It hurts!

It's OK...

It'll be quick

It hurts. I can't do it

I'm sorry...

Can you help me?

"Recipe: Hakka-style Pork Belly"

Sorry, did I wake you?

I'm making Wing Kee's signature dishes

Hakka-style Pork Belly and Traditional Steamed Tofu

We haven't served those in ages

My mother and I,

used to come here for them all the time

I'm going to give the pork some color

Can you give me a hand?

It's easy. Come on

Come here...

Massage the meat like this

Massage it nicely

It'll make it more delicious and tasty-looking

Don't stop now

A little soy sauce will make it look better

Doesn't it look great?

Isn't it easy?

Give it a try

The taste isn't the same. It's missing something

I must've done something wrong

Throw it away

What?

Throw it away

No way

My mentor told me, cooking is akin to living

It's like life

Some people are more fortunate than others

if you have a tough life, it doesn't matter as long as you don't give up

You have to give it your best shot

As long as you work hard,

there's a chance you can make things better

That's tacky

It tastes much better now

Hey!

Hey! There you are!

Veggies look nice today

- It's heavy - Thanks

- It's for you - What is it?

It's from my mom. She said it's in season

This is great. Give her my thanks

Don't mention it

- Thanks - Gotta go

Wait

Have this

All the customers are gone?

You're free now?

Go get ready

For what?

To eat something yummy

Don't film me!

- Take this - Why are you filming me?

Look at me

I said, stop filming

Look at me

You look pretty from the side

Alright...

Fadeout...

and cut!

Candy and coconut wrap sold by a granny

I loved this when I was a kid

This is good, too

- Try it - I don't want any

Aren't you overdoing it a bit?

That's the stuff

So delicious!

Try it

I don't want it

You're so weird

Why do you keep saying no to everyone?

It's time for dinner service. Let's go!

You go ahead. I'm hanging around

The light's going to be nice soon

Look!

You'll miss it if you leave now

Stay!

Keep me company!

It's not like you're really in a rush

Hey!

Hi, there!

My dad was a sailor

My mother is from Taiwan

She met my dad in Hong Kong

I suppose you can say I'm a mixture between the two

When I was young, my dad was at sea for long stretches of time

My mom would bring me to the pier

It made her feel closer to dad

Doesn't my mom sound like a simple-minded woman?

Don't move

I won't film your face, just your back

Don't move

Alright!

You look better from behind than from the front

Isn't this pretty, Ping?

Pretty...

Dad

Red really is a nice, lively color

You should chat with your dad

I'll take care of these flowers for you

Thanks, Lin

Are you feeling better today?

Much better

You probably feel more comfortable here

Tat, you lost this round

That stir-fried curry instant noodles of yours...

Don't ever make it again!

Is he really that good?

Let me try your cooking

Dude, this is delicious!

Hi, Siu Man. Have some midnight snacks

I made some Indian curry

Siu Man doesn't eat spicy food

I'll make you some noodles

You don't need to

Have some more, we've got plenty

Sure

Look! There is a pole!

You're so over the top

You do it, then

You think I'm scared?

You are even more over the top

There's another post here

Do you want to learn from me?

I can't...

My bones are all stiff

Forget about it

You're here tonight

isn't that your body telling you that you're ready to learn?

Take your time

You sell ginger, don't you know ginger water drives out the chills?

Of course I know, but there is no one to give me a foot bath

Done

Morning! Going out?

Where are you headed this early?

Do some body rolls

Then hip rolls

Counter-clockwise

Clockwise

Don't be so stiff. Look at how relaxed the other girls are

Counter-clockwise

Everybody, reapeat

Again

One. Two. Three.

How was it? You did fine

I'm not used to this yet. I was so stiff

You have real potential

You'll come to love it with more practice

What do you think of him?

I don't know if I'd like him

Most of these guys are "CMl" anyway

CMI?

"Cannot make it"

It means... I won't feel a thing for them

I don't find them attractive

I'll let you know what happens tomorrow

Gotta go

"Do you like sex? - How old are you?"

"Single? - Cup size?"

"How did Soseki's "Ten Nights of Dreams" affect Japanese lit?"

"I don't know it"

"What's the craziest thing you've ever done?"

"This"

I didn't always look this fit

I used to be really scrawny,

All my girlfriends said that I couldn't satisfy them

I got dumped again and again

But ever since I joined this gym,

my life's gone in a whole new direction

My name is Alex

Hi, my name is Onion

When I saw your profile picture, I knew that you're my ideal type

To prove that I'm sincere, I drew up a timeline for our relationship

Take a look

I have a dream

I've always wanted to start a family

I'm 29 now, and my goal is to get married before I'm 30

We can date for three months before getting engaged

We will buy a flat and spend three months to prepare our wedding

I'd like Hello Kitty to be the wedding theme

because I just love it

I'm a dust mite vacuum cleaner salesman

My work hours are flexible, I can stay home and take care of the kids

I want two boys and two girls

Our eldest should be a girl because big sis takes care of the family

I like basketball, so I want to have a son that will play ball with me

Do you like girls or boys more?

I pay close attention to the American stock market

It's a bear market at the moment

If you're interested in investment, it's a good time to buy in

Buy low

Sell high

if you're interested,

I can recommend some stocks for long-term investment

I don't know much about stocks

That's fine. You've got me

I have some friends who know nothing about stocks,

but after I taught them about it, they are even better at it than I am

If you like, I have some books about stocks that I can lend you

Maybe I can bring them on our next date

Why don't we go to a hotel?

You want to do 69?

What did you used to do with your ex?

What's wrong? Don't be afraid

You can tell me anything

I've got plenty of skills

I've never done it before

Don't tell me that you're a virgin

I am

I'm going to take a shower

You're home early

Have you had dinner?

Drink up!

Siu Man!

Let my friend sit

OK!

Sit down, Siu Man

You look great

I was worried you wouldn't wear what I bought for you

- Down in one? - Sure

One, two, three!

Moon...

I'm going to look around

Sure

Your first time here?

Yes

You're so uptight

Hi

May I?

You smell nice

Did you ever love her?

I really like you

What are you making?

Chicken?

The stove is up too high. Turn it down

What's wrong?

Leave me alone!

Don't take it out on the food

What are you doing?

- Leave me the hell alone! - It's dangerous!

I just want to make what I want to eat!

Why are you stopping me?

It's okay...

Everything's fine

My legs hurt

My "Kees", too

"Knees"

It's "knees"

What would you like to add?

Spam and egg sandwich and iced lemon tea to go

Check, please

She's looking hot today

Spam and egg on toast, tomato fried rice, iced coffee-tea blend?

That's right

Watch how I do it first

Raise your right arm, push your left arm back to your elbow

Raise and point your left leg at the window, swing forward to the right

Once you're swinging, raise both your knees

Not bad

Come here

You're learning pole dancing, right?

You do it. Come on

My mom used to bring me here all the time

We always had Hakka-style Pork Belly and Traditional Steamed Tofu

They were my dad's favorite dishes

He ate them here all the time

My mom kept coming after he left her

She didn't say it, but I knew what she was thinking

Maybe she was hoping to run into my dad again here

Have you heard of such a foolish woman?

Did you ever see your dad?

No

I moved to France with my mom after that

She died last year...

so she never got to eat these two dishes again

No wonder a chef from France

would work in a place like this

I hear that Ping used to be a chef at a 5-star hotel

before starting this restaurant

Try this

You know, I think your dad's a great chef

These two dishes are really hard to make

You must know the taste really well

Do you remember what they're supposed to taste like?

Should they taste saltier or sweeter?

Where did I go wrong?

I hate these dishes, actually

All my life,

I've never appreciated my dad's craft

Yet you obsess over it

After my mom died,

my dad and I hardly talked

He was always working in the kitchen

Whenever I came in here,

he kicked me out

We're actually quite alike

Close your eyes

Why?

Close your eyes

Come with me

Hey

Close your eyes

Keep them closed

Wait a moment

- I like this the best - It's so sour!

What is it?

A flower

- What? - A flower

- Flower? - Yeah, flower

This is also flower

Open up

Have some water

Was that good?

It's spicy!

This type of ginger isn't always in stock

Next week... maybe it'll be back in stock

Leave plenty for us

Sure

Why haven't you come by lately?

I've been busy

Is that so?

Well, so have I

Come over when you're free

You know, everyone at the market are boring old folks

Should I explain things to her?

You're just here for a delivery. What's there to explain?

If you like her, tell her

Jiahao, where's Siu Man?

I haven't seen her all day

I don't know. I haven't seen her, either

Look at the time

She won't even answer the phone

Your business is booming!

Say, your lease is up in six months

Here's the new lease. Take a look

We've been your tenant for decades

You're raising our rent by three times! That's like kicking us out!

That's right! I wouldn't stay either if I were you

You're still a looker

Why waste your life in this dump?

Please leave when you're done

Don't hog the table

Still worried about the rent?

Forget about that asshole

You're newly single. You should go out and have fun

"Lady Ginger"

Where are you going?

Why don't you answer her call?

Here's 5 dollars

I'm a regular at your restaurant

I know

I'm Ah Him

I saw you for the first time on May 18th

When I paid my check, you said to me, "$67"

Then you said "$80" the second time

The third time, you said, "$90"

The fourth time, you said, "$55"

But I only had $50

so I am returning $5 to you today

Later, you spotted a popcorn on my shirt

and brushed it away

By the fifth time, you knew that

I always order spam-egg on toast,

fried rice and ice coffee-tea

I've been to your restaurant 17 times

You've said 24 sentences to me, and I've said 21 to you

I remember every word

I'm sorry

Ah Him...

- I'm returning $5 to you - Thanks

That day, I only had $50 on me

Hi! How many?

Is Siu Man here?

Siu Man, he's here for you

Need help, Cheong?

Your milk tea

Here's your take-out

Hi, Siu Man

This is for you

I'm still working

Are you free tonight?

Wanna go to a movie?

Sure

The movie was pretty good

The female lead was amazing in that singing scene!

I was almost in tears

You... didn't like the movie?

I did...

It was pretty good

Do you want to watch another movie tomorrow?

You're back early

I thought you wouldn't be back tonight

Were you hoping that I'd stay out?

"You haven't told me if you still want to watch a movie tomorrow"

"I'm performing at my dance class's final lesson"

"Do you want to come?"

Hey

Are you Siu Man's friend, Ah Him?

Yeah

This way, there's a seat over here

- Have a seat - Thanks

This is the their first performance,

so please encourage them with your applause

Thanks for coming

This is good!

This is really good!

This is the old Wing Kee taste!

- It was way too salty last time - Inedible, man!

Do you know how much effort it takes to make these?

The bones of the mud carp have to be picked one at a time

The Pork Belly takes at least two, three hours to make, too

Jiahao's really done it

He accomplished his mission before he left

By the way, Siu Man... Jiahao left a letter for you

Do you know why your father stopped making these dishes?

He talks tough

but he's a softie inside

These two dishes remind him of your mom

With his wife gone

and you moving out,

he didn't see the reason to make them anymore

Ciao bella!

I'm hereby returning Wing Kee's kitchen to you

I know you won't resent me for leaving like this

Consider the two dishes as my parting gift to you

I want you to know something

You're the one who helped me fulfill my dream

I thought that I was making these two dishes for my mom

But later I realized that it was to search for my dad

I hated him all these years for leaving my mom and I

I left Europe and came to Hong Kong

because I wanted to rediscover my passion for cooking

Little did I know...

that Ping had already understood this decades ago

His reason for opening the restaurant

was actually in line with what I believe

We both just want people to enjoy simple, delicious food

Meeting you was something special

Remember when I said that we're alike?

Perhaps we're both searching for the right direction in life

I've found mine

I'm going to my mom's hometown and open a restaurant there

Come by when you have time

Is it too salty?

It's good

Dad,

about the lease...

Let's give that a rest

I've always been too strict with you

But I'll let you call the shots now

Siu Man

I've been looking for you

I've been texting you

Why won't you return my messages?

Ah Him

- Why don't we - Let's get married

I can take care of you

Don't do this...

I'm not acting out of impulse

I've been thinking a lot

I want to sleep next to you every night...

and wake up with you every morning

Don't work at the restaurant anymore

I'll take care of you

I don't see what's wrong with working at a restaurant

I'm sorry

Siu Man!

"Wing Kee going out of business."

"See you again soon"

You'll have to make your own chili oil from now on

It's on the house

Can I have a jar?

- Sure - Thanks

How are you, Ping?

- Ping! - Uncle!

- Hey, Siu Man! - Hi, auntie. Hey!

How are you?

Here comes Wing Kee's final batch of pineapple buns!

Boss, Siu Man, have some

- It's piping hot! - Careful!

- Does he work here? - Yeah, he's a real chatty one

Fattie... should we take a group photo?

Oh, yeah! Getting right on it!

- Sit with your dad, Siu Man - It's fine

Here we go. Get closer, everyone
