Be Home for Dinner (2011 - 2011)

HON and JOE are making cakes in the kitchen. LEI is shocked to hear that they have already registered in Canada. For fear that CHU cannot take the news, SUM and LEI try their best to prevent CHU from meeting HON. HON announces at CHU’s birthday party that he is going to stay in Hong Kong and that he wants to be a cake chef. CHU smashes the cake in anger. Although HON does very well in his job interview, he does not get the job because of CHU’s intervention. HON is returning to Canada. LEI offers to finance his cake shop with a view to making him stay. HON has a talk with CHU, who agrees not to interfere with HON’s career choice if he can cook a Chinese banquet that CHU finds satisfactory. HON takes up the challenge.

CHU has lost his fountain pen. Then he sees a woman picking up a fountain pen. He requests her to give it back to him but they end up in a quarrel. KWAN tells CHU Joyful Kitchen has hired SHUM PUI-YEE, who is better known as the Kitchen Goddess, recently. As YEE is very close to celebrity UNCLE KAU, KWAN believes she is worth an interview. He prods CHU into taking up the task of interviewing her. CHU does not know until he arrives at Joyful Kitchen that YEE is the woman who picked his pen. Accusing him of badmouthing her, she refuses to give an interview. HON asks HOI to recommend a cooking school to him. HOI advises him to learn from a prestigious chef. YEE agrees to give CHU an interview for the sake of UNCLE KAU, though she calls him a cultural scoundrel in the interview. On the other hand, HON decides to become YEE’s student.

HON discovers that YEE earns the same reputation as her fellow colleague ROGER, a western chef. He goes to Joyful Kitchen to look for YEE again ROGER challenges him to a cooking test. ROGER wants HON to be his assistant. HON will only agree on the condition that he can learn cooking from YEE. YEE has no choice but take HON as her student as requested by ROGER. YEE needs HON to shop for cooking ingredient. He cannot find the Chinese marinade she wants. CHU tells him to go to an outlying island, but HON discovers on the Internet that the address CHU has told him is now a bar. He did not know until then that his father has been making things difficult for him. KWOK-TUNG, CHU’s younger brother, mediates between the father and son but CHU blames him instead. HON is drunk. CHU covers him up with a blanket. HON pours his heart out.

Entertainment news assignment editor HING has taken photo of LAU CHUNG, their supplement writer, going out with a woman. KWAN would like to publish the photo, but CHU thinks the photo is not telling the truth. The two have a fierce argument. The Turkish Culture and Tourist Office would like to place an advertorial. CHUNG and other writers refuse to do it. KWAN orders that CHU resolve the matter. HOI tells CHU a travel blog titled “The World on a Shoestring” attracts a daily hit of over ten thousand. CHU thinks very highly of the blog owner’s articles. He tells HON to write an email invitation to the blog owner. His reply does not come until the last minute. The sound of TUNG using the computer has awakened CHU. He complains to TUNG. TUNG is so furious that he hits hardly at his computer, which breaks down as a result. HON learns by chance that TUNG is the blog owner.

SUM and her friend see a flowerpot falling from a building. Just when it is about to land an old woman, who is pushing a pram, TUNG goes up to their rescue. He knocks over a passer-by called MABLE in the process. MABLE adores his heroic act. SUM wants to line up MABEL and TUNG. TUNG tells HON to deliver to MABEL’s for him. SUM blames herself for minding TUNG’s business. TUNG is looking for a dress. HON believes it is for his new girlfriend. He tells SUM not to worry too much about TUNG. TUNG wants to make a bohemian dress. He asks SUM to recommend a tailor. He shows her a photo. She cannot believe it that the woman in the photo is their neighbor MRS. KUNG. CHU looks for TUNG at a restaurant and accuses him of going out with somebody else’s wife.

BIU, supplement editor, is immersing himself in horse racing broadcast when CHING puts a proof at his desk for endorsement. He tells her to redo the layout afterwards but she insists she has done nothing wrong. CHU walks out of his room and tells her to do as requested. A Macau hotel has placed an advertisement as well as an advertorial for its Portuguese restaurant. CHU assigns the writing of the article to BIU. BIU and HOI have returned from Macau. HOI has bought a Portuguese baked duck rice for CHING. She can tell Mediterranean Rosemary has been added to the dish. BIU has mistaken a chicken bouillon powder recipe for the hotel’s recipe. CHING cannot reach BIU. And so she suggests replacing the recipe to CHU, claiming she will be responsible for the consequence.

CHING corrects the recipe after she has clarified with the hotel. On the other hand, CHU puts the printing on hold when the new layout is being done. HON takes a cake his father’s office. He lets it slip that BIU is going to another paper while he is chatting with HOI and CHING. CHU overhears their conversation. WING, CHING, KWAN and HING are all of the view that BROTHER TSUI of Ching News will be BIU’s successor. CHU hopes CHING can take up BIU’s editor role, but she prefers the status quo. CHING has a shooting appointment with best actress MAGGIE. HING interviews her for the entertainment page before CHING has a chance to. CHU reasons with KWAN, the editor-in-chief, but to no avail. MR. KO, their boss, calls and commends on CHING’s feature article. CHU tells him right away he intends to promote her. KWAN, however, recommends HING to MR. KO instead.

SZ-NGA moves back home, as she cannot get along with her roommate. HON has to sleep in the sitting room as a result. YEE shoots for a TV cookery program. HON works as her assistant. He thinks YEE should tell the audience the exact amount of condiment needed. Provoked, she challenges him to a competition to see whose orange pork chop is more delicious. After a whole day of experiment, HON has finally come up with the best orange pork chop recipe. TUNG records the ingredients and condiment he has used in his computer. Unfortunately, NGA breaks his computer. HON finds it difficult to get along with his family and would like to move out. TUNG supports him. TUNG is fishing for the name card of an estate agent. MUI-KWAI wrongly thinks that he is moving out and so offers to let a room to him. TUNG, HON, HOI and CHING visit KWAI’s place. HON finds her fully fitted and beautifully equipped kitchen very impressive.

The competition between YEE and HON begins. The judge, in this case CHU, finds YEE’s pork chops more delicious. HON cannot be more convinced when YEE reveals her secret. TUNG learns by accident that CHU does not want TUNG to move out. HON and TUNG have dinner together. TUNG tells HON why he lives with TUNG all these years. CHU opens TUNG’s letter by mistake. TUNG makes a fuss over this and demands HON to move out with him. HON turns him down. He stomps out of the house in a fury. TUNG is dinning on his own when CHU appears. On the other hand, NGA announces that she is moving back to the dormitory because her roommate has moved out.

YEE and KWAI fight over a clock at a shop. Neither of them is willing to give up. It turns out YEE has ordered a porcelain pot online from KWAI earlier. YEE told LIN to pick up the pot for her. LIN did not check up on the pot before she left. KWAI is renting out a room on the Internet. YEE demands a refund but KWAI accuses her of cheating instead. LIN turns to HON for help. HON tells TUNG how the pot was broken. A couple is interested in renting KWAI’s flat. YEE checks up the flat with them. The couple intends to knock down the kitchen. YEE stops them, praising the landlord’s taste in design.

SUM asks CHU to take a watch for repair. CHU tells HON to do it but HON asks TUNG instead. SUM and her friends do volunteer work at an old people’s house. They see a man taking away an old lady’s wheelchair. SUM runs into the man again later. She decides to get the wheelchair back for the old woman, only to be accused of stealing. Her “stealing” has hit the headlines of a paper. Everybody in CHU’s office talks about this. HOI clarifies for SUM. SUM’s watch is still at home. CHU takes it to the service center but he drops it on the floor without himself realizing it. HON steps on it accidentally. CHU cannot find the watch everywhere when he arrives at the service center. He buys SUM a new one as compensation, not knowing TUNG and HON will do exactly the same.

CHING thinks KA-KEUNG is too addicted to computer games. She frowns when she hears his romances in the past. The colleague responsible for the fashion section has had a traffic accident. HOI and SUSAN recommend KEUNG to write a feature article for the fashion section. CHING is not happy with KEUNG’s “The Greatest Ten Computer Games Ever” and tells him to produce another piece. KEUNG thinks she is biased. The two argue with each other. CHING tells WING to prepare a letter of dismissal for KEUNG, the reason for his dismissal being “failing to follow the instruction of his supervisor”. HOI hopes CHU can do something for KEUNG. CHU tells him to pass a “magic stick” to CHING. CHING requests KEUNG to rewrite the article at another angel or simply choose another theme. He refuses. CHING decides to write it herself. HOI believes this is KEUNG’s ultimatum.

HOI passes CHU CHING’s interview article on well-known shoemaker SIU KWOK-WAH. He believes she will replace KEUNG’s story with this, but CHU thinks otherwise. HON and CHU have breakfast together. CHU tells him how he told CHING off three years ago for giving out only second-hand information in her article on WAH. Touched by her sincerity, WAH agreed to give CHING an interview, and she managed to fight for a full page for her story. As she sees the “magic heel”, which is in fact the broken heel of her shoes, she realizes she should look at things at a different angle.

YEE has moved into KWAI’s flat. KWAI likes her body lotion, so she puts it in the bathroom so that KWAI can also use it. TUNG goes to KWAI’s flat to take a camera. He has flu and the medicine makes him feel very drowsy. He takes a nap in KWAI’s bedroom. YEE cannot find the lotion anywhere. She calls KWAI, who tells her it is in her room. Covered only by a towel, she screams out loud when she sees TUNG in KWAI’s bed. KWAI has bought YEE a small gift as a token of apology, but she does not correct her when she mistakes TUNG for her boyfriend. YEE cannot put up with KWAI’s untidiness anymore. She decides to move out. KWAI has bought a dishwasher. She and YEE apologize to each other. She tells YEE not to move out when she hears her talking to an estate agent.

TUNG delivers something to Joyful Kitchen to YEE. She tells him to take a box of soy sauce chicken to KWAI, his girlfriend. TUNG demands KWAI clarify their relationship to YEE but she refuses to do so with a make-up excuse. YEE has won a free fondue dinner for two persons. She invites KWAI to go with her, but she would like to go with her lover instead. So YEE gives her the coupons. HON has bid a fondue dinner at $900 on the Internet. YUNG will go with him. HON cannot make it in the end, as YEE needs him to work extra hours. TUNG is wondering if he could have a portion of the dinner only, then he sees YEE. The photo of TUNG and YEE dining together is published in the paper. KWAI demands TUNG to clarify his relationship with YEE. He replies in the same way she replied him the other day.

HON needs to buy some cooking utensils. He borrows CHU’s new car. Somebody has parked in HING’s car park. He delivers a hard kick to that person’s car so as to vent his anger. CHU tells HON off when he finds out HON is the person who has parked in HING’s car park. CHU and TUNG quarrel over an incident in the past. HON goes to Pak Lai with HOI to gather material for a story. They did not know until they get there that the pavilion they are looking for is in fact in Nam Sang Wai. HON runs into CHU in Nam Sang Wai. CHU mentions how HON broke his tooth here as a child. HON climbs up the pavilion to look for his tooth. They are surprised to find that the note of apology TUNG wrote on the stone can still be seen clearly. They take a photo of the note.

SUM has been running around in the kitchen. MABEL’s boyfriend dumped her because she is a terrible cook. SUM tells her she is no different. HOI has taken information for a cooking class for SUM. She meets him at a restaurant. She has left her food at the restaurant. She sees YEE when she returns to get her food. She grasps the opportunity to ask her the secret of cooking tenderloin. SUM’s cooking has improved a great deal but CHU still finds it unacceptable. YEE finds SUM’s cooking notes at the restaurant. She is reading them when SUM returns. YEE tells her to feel free to call her if she has any question on cooking. CHU commends on SUM’s food for the first time ever. SUM calls on YEE after the staff of Joyful Kitchen have all gone. YEE wonders…

There is an ant’s nest at home and so the CHUNG’s decide to have a thorough cleanup. NGA has found a family photo in a box. LEI is upset that she was not invited to take the photo. HON breaks honey-colored stone, which is a family treasure. LEI treats the whole family to dim sum to apologize on behalf of HON. LEI suggests going to Zhuhai for the weekend. Everybody in the family will join but for different reasons they will go separately. LEI waits for them at the pier but nobody shows up. In fact, CHU, SUM and NGA are dining at a restaurant. They did not remember their date with LEI until the manager of the restaurant picks up the flyer LEI left the other day. CHU, SUM and NGA hurry to the pier. HON will meet them in Zhuhai as he is working. LEI leaves in anger, accusing them of treating her as an outsider.

TUNG has returned from Zhuhai. He complains that everybody has forgotten about their trip. HON has made a dessert for LEI in order to apologize to her. TUNG suggests compensating her instead. LEI hits CHU’s waist when the elevator stops suddenly. CHU needs a surgery, but it clashes with the cutting of the family honey-colored stone. He places the surgery appointment letter on the coffee table, believing his family members will see it. Nobody but LEI notices the letter. As a result, only LEI shows up on the day of his surgery. As if this was not enough, the others text to say tell him they cannot come. SUM and the others hurry to the hospital as soon as they have got LEI’s call. LEI realizes then that her family do care about her. She still, however, finds it a pity that she was absent when they took a family photo.

MEI-CHING has left her wallet in the office. HING pays for her lunch, taking the opportunity to invite her to the movie. Joyful Kitchen is not open yet and so HON cannot get in. He calls CHING, but she is ill. HON hears her weep. HOI believes something must have happened after the movie. Ten years ago, CHING’s boyfriend LAU LAP-CHUN stood her up at their wedding. TUNG tells her he was a good friend of CHUN’s. It turns out HING could not make it to the movie. He sent his sister to inform CHING. This reminded her of what happened on her wedding day when CHUN sent his sister to inform her he was not coming. Memory of the day made her collapse. YEE sees TUNG and CHING together and she is crying. YEE tells SUM what she has seen. CHUN has returned to Hong Kong. TUNG encourages CHING to see him.

TUNG sits in his car, his eye fixed on a distant restaurant. What he does not know is, his family is watching him in a distance. In the meanwhile, CHING walks inside the restaurant. TUNG’s family members conclude that he likes CHING. CHING slaps CHUN on the face after he has told her why he ran away. CHU and the others ask TUNG about his relationship with CHING. He stresses they are nothing more than friends. CHING clarifies her relationship with TUNG to YEE, who says what she should clarify is what happened to HING and her. The next day, CHING brings a basket of fruit to apologize to HING. TUNG gives HON a shrimp sauce coupon. He leaves it on the table, and a waiter gives it to CHING. The next day, she takes a bottle of shrimp sauce to TUNG’s company.

HOI overhears in a motorcar showroom that TUNG has ordered a limited edition sports car. None of TUNG’s family believes what he says. TUNG tells MING to take photographs of their newly ordered bracelets. As MING is celebrating his girlfriend’s birthday after work, he declines him. TUNG insists he works overtime though. MING leaves in anger. KWAI tells TUNG MING has already broken up with 11 girlfriends because of him. TUNG and his friends run into KAM TAI-YAT, their school friend. They embarrass him purposely, as he owed every one of them money. TUNG is so kind that he goes up to his help. HOI is writing a feature article on cars. HON goes to a showroom with him. They see TUNG returning his sports car. Unable to repay TUNG, YAT gives him his late father’s saxophone.

MING has been absent for a few days. Not until TUNG asks about him then KWAI tells him MING had resigned via email. MING shows up suddenly, before TING is about to hire a replacement. TUNG has been behaving rather oddly recently. SUM and CHU are worried about him. KWAI and HON fear that he is being possessed. KWAI look for TUNG with the family at a cemetery, bringing along with her objects she believes can drive out evil spirits. Understanding that he does not have a flair for saxophone, TUNG tells HON to give his saxophone to someone else. TUNG is walking in the street when he hears a mellow sound of saxophone. He walks up to the musician to ask him how to play the instrument well. It turns out that the man, MARTIN, is the owner of his favorite sidewalk food stall. Sharing with him his experience, MARTIN encourages TUNG to practice more. What is more, he invites TUNG to join his band.

KWAI is tidying up the storeroom when a burglar breaks into the room. She resists and ends up all bruises and raggle-taggle. As she refuses to call the police, TUNG suspects something bad has happened to her. He asks YEE to check out what has actually happened. KWAI requests TUNG to cut her pork chop and feed her, as her hand has been injured. She also tells him to go to the movie with her, saying she feels insecure after her injury. KWAI refuses to attend a lineup at the police station. YEE sincerely believes her appearance is not so bad that she scared the burglar away. So she asks YUNG about the truth. He promises on condition she goes to the cinema with him.

HOI is writing a feature article on wedding. He and CHING pretend to be lovers and gather material at a wedding company. Looking at the wedding photos, HOI imagines that CHING and him are the bride and groom. CHING says she is flexible when the staff asks her how she would like her wedding. HOI leaves as he hears this. HOI tells CHING to move out as soon as she is home. Totally bewildered, she asks HON to check out why HOI is mad at her. It turns out that HOI is fond of her. HOI asks SUSAN to do her a favor by putting up a show in front of CHING to let her know they are not lovers. SUSAN gives CHING two movie tickets. CHING dresses up and goes with HOI. They go to a new sushi restaurant after the movie, but there is already a long queue.

CHING needs to tell YEE the content of a student notice. She is completely stumped when she faces YEE. HON asks her what she is most confident about. She replies it is playing Lolita, a role she played once in secondary school. He therefore tells her to pretend to be Lolita. As expected by HON, she completes her mission smoothly in her second trial. LEI is looking at a website that promotes food tasting blind date. Claiming it was time for HON to find a girlfriend, she volunteers to go with him. He reads her mind though, and so tells her to go alone first to find out more about it. Unexpectedly, KWAI has come on YEE’s request, and CHING has participated with the encouragement of HOI. YEE tells LEI BEN, owner of the restaurant, is a nice guy. LEI hurries to the washroom to redo her makeup. But when she sees BEN, she gets panicky.

LIN asks TUNG to search for a battery for an old model cell phone. The shop he recommends is surrounded by motels and sauna parlors and so she dares not go. KWAI has found MING’s wallet. She does not return to him right away, or else she will miss the opportunity to go on a business trip with TUNG. TUNG delivers to the news agency. He drops in at LIN’s desk to give her the battery. LIN has a backbone ache. In addition to recommending an acupuncturist to her, TUNG also gives her some coupons. She shares a breakfast with him as a token of thanks. YEE and the others are certain they have a crush on each other. TUNG goes to the acupuncture center with LIN but he leaves first. She is persuaded into buying a mattress that she does not need after buying a package. LIN cries at work. YEE and CHING jump to the conclusion that she has been upset by men.

HON would like CHU to comment on his dishes without prejudice. So he asks LEI to claim she prepares them. CHU is too tired to eat anything when he is home. LEI takes the food home. She runs into TUNG at the door. He finds the food unpalatable. YEE learns from TUNG why HON learns cooking from her. YEE is very strict with HON. He has to work overtime very often. TUNG apologizes to YEE and pleads her to let HON leave on time. CHING also finds YEE too demanding. YEE has cooked some deep-fried taro balls. KWAI takes some to TUN. He likes them very much. And when he finds out about the names of her dishes, he realizes what YEE has done for HON.

HON has cooked something for TUNG. He rushes back to the Joyful Kitchen after taking them to him. LIN calls TUNG to see whether he would be so kind to return the mattress for her. CHING overhears their conversation but she mistakes that LIN is having TUNG’s baby. She tells YEE about this without delay. TUNG tells KWAI to return to the company in the evening. She turns him down. YEE has bought KWAI a dress. She is so happy that she changes her mind. Seeing how obsessive KWAI is about TUNG, YEE tells her he is actually not as good as she thinks. KWAI does not agree with her though. CHU has been selected as one of the best ten writers in town. His colleagues celebrate at his place. HON has prepared three dishes for his father, namely deep-fried taro balls, stir-fried crabs with ginger and scallion, and stuffed hairy gourd with dried scallop. To his great disappointment, CHU only tries the hairy gourd.

CHU sits on SUM’s glasses and breaks them. He tells her to buy a new pair. She hesitates, as this means spending money. It is hard to run into the glasses hawker too. CHING tells HOI CHU is allergic to taro and that he choked on crab shells once. HON does not feel well. He tells CHING to prepare the cooking ingredients for KWAI’s TV show. CHU thinks it is irresponsible of him to bring troubles to his colleagues. HON agrees with what his father says. LEI tells HON CHU has a girlfriend called TE. As her computer has broken down, CHING returns to the office to work. She is surprised to find CHU there. HON follows CHU. CHU goes to the glasses hawker to buy SUM a pair of glasses. But when TE calls, he leaves in a hurry.

The hot pot restaurant of MR. KO, owner of the news agency, opens today. CHU sits poker-faced all the way and leaves midway. Everybody finds this unusual. The second generation of Man Mo Restaurant, a prestigious restaurant in town, has fallen out with each other. CHU tells HOI to invite the two brothers for an interview. CHU is taking medicine when SUM suddenly comes in. He drops the pillbox when he is trying to cover it. HON takes the pills to a clinic for a chemical examination. HOI picks up the report with him. They see CHU leaving when they arrive at the building where the clinic is. They check out the clinics in the building one by one, and manage to find out what is wrong with CHU’s health. They try to figure out why CHU takes anti-allergy drugs. SUM tells them CHU was allergic to the food of Man Mo Restaurant when it was under UNCLE LEUNG’s management. TUNG wonders why HON has to replace the seasoning in the house.… ...

CHU goes to Man Mo Restaurant for one of its signature dishes, i.e. “chicken stuffed with shark fin in double-boiled soup”. When he gets home, he asks TUNG to print out the article he wrote on UNCLE LEUNG. CHU goes to Man Po Restaurant again, this time for its “sparerib in special sauce”. He forgets to take anti-allergy drugs in advance. As a result, his faces get swollen. CHU is of the view that UNCLE LEUNG has overestimated his two sons but HON thinks otherwise. The father and son have yet another argument. HON goes out early and goes home late recently. And when he is home, he is always drunk. HON has invited UNCLE LEUNG’s two sons, MAN and MO, to the Joyful Kitchen to prepare a meal for CHU. By doing so, he lets them know why their father did not pass them his secret formula.

CHU enjoys the meal very much. He is surprised he is not allergic to the dishes. HON tells him what he has done in arranging the meal. NGA cannot be home for Mother’s Day because she needs to prepare for her examination. She, however, has already bought SUM a present, which she has put in the bag SUM always uses when she delivers soup to her. Both HON and LEI have text to invite SUM to dinner on Mother’s Day. CHU’s old landlord informs him he has sold his house, and that the new tenant would like to get rid of the mango tree in front of the house. The tree was planted by HON’s biological mother. CHU and HON hurry to their old house to remove the tree. SUM and HOI have been waiting in the restaurant for quite a while but nobody shows up. They call CHU, HON, TUNG and LEI, but none of them answers their calls.

CHU and the others take the mango tree to Aunt To’s Farm. When they finally arrive at the restaurant, SUM has already left. CHING’s mother has mailed her a video clip. It reminds her of the warm and happy memory of them eating marinated eggs together when she was a kid. CHING cannot find a satisfactory marinade sauce. She asks YEE for advice as suggested by HON, only to be shown the cold shoulder. HOI has borrowed the Joyful Kitchen from HON for CHING. YEE shows up suddenly when CHING is cooking marinade sauce. CHING hopes that YEE would let her finish cooking the marinade sauce for her mother, who she has not seen for seven years. YEE’s attitude softens. What is more, she helps CHING. CHING is still not happy with the sauce they have come up with. YEE has prepared a big breakfast for KWAI, which she says her family used to have for breakfast every day in the past. KWAI takes a photo of the breakfast and uploads it on to the web.

WAI is looking forward to his Korean trip. He could not be more disappointed when KWAN, who is not happy with the story he wrote, disapproves of his leave application. MR. KO has bought a Yellow Emperor Stone from feng shui master TSAT-HOP. He requests a front-page headline story on this. KWAN assigns CHU the job. It turns out that another story has hit the front-page headline. MR. KO demands an explanation; KWAN refuses to give in. HOP says that KWAN’s arrogance is affecting the vitality of the stone and will bring bad luck to MR. KO. The only solution is for him to set up a formation. XIAO-HONG, a reader from mainland, writes to reveal the cheap behavior of a Hong Kong customer of hers. CHU recognizes the man is no one else but HOP. HOP’s evil deeds are exposed in the paper’s supplement. The measures against KWAN are taken off in no time. He treats CHU to breakfast to thank him.… ...

SUSAN sees JIMMY, who is a fund manager, peeping into ABBY’s skirt. She goes up to expose him but WING stops her. The new girlfriend of SUSAN’s boyfriend calls her. CHING goes shopping with her so as to cheer her up. SUSAN sees the handbag she has always wanted to buy at a shop. She is still thinking whether or not she should buy it when WING shows up out of the blue and buys it. HOI and SUSAN shoot for the paper. WING and MR. KO’s son see them. SUSAN’s beauty takes WING’s breath away. WING and SUSAN are reconciled. He invites her to karaoke. HOI hears them. CHING gets a call from a Macau hotel, saying that WING has booked a president suite and a candle-lit dinner. As SUSAN is working in Macau the same day, CHING worries about her safety. Everybody tries his own way to stop WING from harming SUSAN.

RAYMOND tries his best to please SUSAN, including invites her to go to sea. On the other hand, he tells WING to buy an apartment. WING visits a show office with RAYMOND. He did not know until then that the apartment is a present for GIGI, a famous model, for giving birth to a child to the son of a local tycoon. RAYMOND tells WING SUSAN and he are going to sea, where he can do whatever he wants. Someone has found a brown envelope that contains SUSAN’s personal information at a shopping mall. Interrogated by SUSAN, WING hints that everything he has done he does it for RAYMOND. SUSAN deduces that GIGI’s boyfriend is RAYMOND. She treats WING to a meal so as to thank him for unmasking RAYMOND.

KWAI and YEE are surrounded by reporters at a restaurant. While YEE finds it annoying, KWAI enjoys being in the limelight immensely. Producer TSUI asked YEE last week what she would like to cook at her last episode. She was giving it a thought when her crew was having egg noodles for lunch. After tasting the noodles, she decided egg noodles would be the theme of her last episode. The last episode of the program takes place at Oi Hing Yuen, a famous noodle shop in town. UNCLE WONG, owner of the shop, has moved his noodle factory to Shenzhen, mainland China, because of high rent. When renowned food critic MR. CHOI learns about this, he decides to lease out his shop to UNCLE WONG at half the market price. He also invites YEE to a traditional food carnival. KWAI books a buffet dinner under YEE’s name. What is more, her ungainly manner makes YEE hit the cover of a magazine.

YEE runs into TUNG as she is buying underwear. TUNG accompanies LIN to return a mattress. TUNG has gone to pick up his car. An old woman gives LIN a rabbit when she is waiting for TUNG. TUNG delivers to the Joyful Kitchen the next day. LIN tells him the rabbit is carrying a twin pregnancy. YEE overhears their conversation but she misunderstands the content of what they say. YEE waits for KWAI at her office. She gives TUNG a good telling-off when she hears him telling LIN to give up the babies. KWAI has put YEE’s medicine in her luggage by mistake. YEE has fallen sick. KWAI therefore tells TUNG to return the medicine to YEE. He helps YEE with the medicine. She throws on him. He takes a shower at her place. She stomps into the bathroom suddenly. He worries that she has seen his naked body. MING shows TUNG his watch that YEE has returned. YEE shows up as he is saying this.

NGA goes home for holiday. SUM waits for her at a bus stop. NGA shouts out loudly when the traffic lights turn green and scares other pedestrians. Unwilling to take HON’s bedroom, NGA stays at LEI’s. LEI has bought HON a cell phone. NGA likes it so much that she is going to save up for the same model. HON gives the phone to her as soon as he hears this. NGA screams out loud again when she is crossing the road. LEI is scared out of her wit and breaks the bracelet her late husband bought her. LEI shops for crystals for her broken bracelet in Shum Shui Po. She sees NGA go up an old building packed with vice establishments. Back to her house, LEI is surprised to discover NGA’s brand name handbag. She cannot help but suspects she works in an indecent business.

LEI sees NGA going into a vice establishment. NGA confesses she is tutoring for the son of a sex worker when SUM and CHU ask her what is going on. CHU calls for a family meeting, during which everybody shows NGA their support. SUM and CHU wait for NGA at where she works. LEI appears out of the blue and shows them a video clip. The boy NGA tutors for has done very well in his exams. His mother calls on NGA to thank her. NGA is not happy that LEI only cooks HON’s favorite dishes. She calls on a family meeting on whether LEI makes a favorite of HON. LEI loses in the voting. NGA wants to have luncheon meat for dinner. LEI promises she will have what she wants.

Being locked up in the office by TUNG, KWAI calls YEE to collect the drawing for her. TUNG goes to get the drawing too, only to make a fruitless trip.

People in the office have found an x-rated movie VCD. Everybody believes it belongs to WAI, who is responsible for the adult pages, but they are wrong. CHING shows her team photos of the “freeze-frame girl”. She tries but fails to contact her for an interview. It turns out that the freeze-frame girl’s real name is CHOR SUET and was HOI and HON’s junior at school. SUET requests that HOI comes to her exhibition and comes up with an article before she decides whether or not to give him an interview. HOI cannot make it to the exhibition.

He did not know until then that WAI has drafted a story too, and that CHU thinks very highly of it. SUET requests that the interview be done by WAI. HOI has found WAI’s memory stick, which he believes contains nothing but pornographic photos.

HON asks WAI where he got SUET’s photos, which obviously are not downloaded from the Internet. So WAI tells him. SUET agrees to give an interview, but it has to be conducted by WAI. HOI is angry that WAI did not pass him all the material and took away SUET’s interview from his hand. The interview takes place at a restaurant. Looking at SUET and WAI a few tables away, HON is confident WAI will come up with a great story. HON praises WAI’s writing. WAI has read from SUET’s article that HON had once bought her a camera. HON and the people of Ko Tsim Daily look at photos of the “freeze-frame man”. Judging from the man’s key ring, HON is certain he is none other than WAI. To make sure that WAI will not harm SUET, HON follows him. He is astonished by what he has seen.

MR. KO, who is hot on bowling, has recently bought a bowling center. He invites his staff and their family to play at the center but everybody leaves early with an excuse. MR.

The memory of how her mother and her younger sister left home returns to her as soon as she sees the bangles. TUNG has bought some chocolate donuts to YEE to cheer her up after learning about her past. YEE has a dream of her father forcing her to burn her mother and sister’s photographs. She cannot see her mother’s face clearly in the dream. She wakes with a start. She cannot believe that she has forgotten how her mother looks like.

MING offers to help her, telling her he can play the piano too. EVA has decided to use another song. CHING worries that HOI will not have enough time to practice the new song. She cannot decide whether she should choose HOI or MING. YEE suggests they both play in front of EVA and let EVA decide. TUNG asks MING why he did not go to the rehearsal; he replies he is no match for HOI. In fact, MING has learnt by chance that HOI has been practicing very hard recently and that he plays very well now. He appreciates HOI’s effort. MING looks for HOI at a piano room. He is surprised to learn that HOI has gone to rehearsal either. The two men decide to have a fair competition.

YEE goes into a deep trance after hearing the others talk about CHING and her mother. YEE has bought KWAI an expensive camera. MEI-CHING and LIN have a present too. KWAI believes YEE is trying to use up the money from the sale of the bangles. YEE’s marinade does not taste right. She loses her cool when HON tells her about this. Then she remembers she was crying while she was preparing the marinade yesterday evening. She believes it must have been her tears that had ruined her marinade. TUNG reminds YEE they are playing bowling. He suggests that she should face her true feeling no matter how she feels about her mother. CHING looks for YEE at Joyful Kitchen, telling her she is SHUM HOI-YEE, her younger sister.… ...

KWAI is totally astonished to learn that YEE and CHING are sisters. TUNG reminds her not to hurt her feelings. HOI and MING have set up a tent in the sitting room so that CHING’s mother can use their room. The idea of moving out occurs to CHING as she sees this. CHING is waiting for YEE home. There is something wrong with their mother’s liver and her days are numbered. CHING sincerely hopes that YEE would go and see her one last time. KWAI dresses up for TUNG, who YEE has been keeping a distance with after learning that KWAI has a crush for him. MING, however, does not like her new image. KWAI is dead drunk when YEE is home. She has brought a guy she does not love home. From what she says, YEE understands that she is doing all these for her. UNCLE KEI looks for YEE at Joyful Kitchen, returning the bangles to her.

YEE waits TUNG at the bowling center but he is very late. In fact, TUNG is going up to mainland China for business with MING. TUNG and YEE chat and drink at a pier the whole evening.

YEE’s mother has fainted. He informs YEE immediately. When YEE arrives at her mother’s room, there is no one to be seen.

YEE does not see her mother when she gets to the hospital. She breaks down, believing her mother has already passed away. Then a nurse tells her CHOI-HA, her mother, has moved to another room. TUNG advises her to patch up with her mother before it is too late. She, however, tells him to mind his own business. HOI informs his colleagues that CHING will use her original name SHUM HOI-YEE from now on. YEE is looking for a flat large enough for three persons. In fear that her new tenant will be a nasty person, KWAI persuades MING to move in. It is totally out of her expectation that YEE will rent her flat and that she herself will move into CHING’s flat and has her room. YEE stays up late at Joyful Kitchen. HON reckons she does not want to go home to face two strangers. In order not to disturb her mother, HOI-YEE decides to sleep on the sofa. Seeing this, YEE tells her to have her room.… ...

YEE and ROGER have a meeting. HA keeps calling her for some trivial matters. What is more, she shows up uninvited at the studio, disturbing YEE’s recording. TUGN gives YEE a pair of bowling gloves when he is delivering to Joyful Kitchen, making HA believe they are lovers. YEE goes out to take photographs with HOI-YEE and HA but she feels rather uneasy. TUNG teaches her how to get along with her family, but she worries that she will fall out with her mother in the end. He assures her it is not important at all who wins in a family argument. YEE goes to the Chung family to teach SUM to cook. SUM’s family members did not know until now why SUM can cook so well now. They invite YEE to stay for dinner. Looking at TUNG and CHU, she comes to comprehend the art of getting along with one’s family.

SUM has forgotten about her appointment with LEI and their friends. As a result, she is being made a fool of and gets telling off. LEI defends for her, and ends up falling out with them as well. This, in fact, is the last thing their family members want to see. This is because whenever LEI is free, she will take charge of the household chores, which means troubles for them. MR. KO invites CHU to bring a partner to a ball. In CHU’s opinion, if LEI can find a guy at the ball, she will have no time to take care of the housework. TAI NIP, one of the guests, is fond of LEI. He bids for a pair of crystal high heels for her. NIP takes advantage of LEI. CHU takes her away right away. LEI and SUM wait for their family members at a restaurant. NGA tells LEI CHI is at a meeting. LEI makes a dash for their office, demanding to see the Editor-in-chief, who she thinks is preventing his staff from going home.

LEI bumps into MR. KO and LING as she is seeing friends. MR. KO offers to give her a lift when they run into each other in the car park again. He tells her he is going to break up with LING. She decides to tell him about LING and NIP’s affair as soon as she hears this.

KWAN is thinking letting HING work as supplement editor concurrently. Unwilling to see KWAN take the opportunity to advance in his career, CHU decides to take up the post himself. HING has drawn up a budget for the supplement assignment for the coming six months. HOI shows it to CHU at his home. After studying the budget, CHU changes his mind and agrees to let HING act as the editor of supplement. The 80th birthday of MR. KO’s mother is round the corner. HING suggests everybody in the supplement section pitch in $600 to buy a gift. Someone has given the supplement assignment free tickets for a concert. ABBY, who works at the entertainment news assignment, passes the tickets to HING. HING takes them all right in front of his team members. Later, they decide to buy MRS. KO a present themselves. They ask HING to return their $600. A contributor is on vacation. HING never checks his emails. HOI and others decide not to inform HING this.… ...

KEUNG is also at the shop, doing exactly the same thing. HON has made some fermented bean curd. CHU tells NGA not to eat it, adding that she should reject things she does not like at once. SUM asks CHU what kind of person KEUNG is. As KEUNG has many shortcomings, CHU does not want to see NGA going out with him. SUM suggests asking HOI for help. HON dashes for the Judo court after work, for fear KEUNG will give HOI a good lesson. HOI hopes KEUNG will give up chasing NGA, but KEUNG says HOI has no authority over him.

HOI does not believe it, as WAH is such an honest person. He suggests meeting WAH to find out what is going on. NGA appears with a basket of fruit at the restaurant. No one except she and HOI show up, for none of their colleagues want to get involved. A few days later, WAH goes the cafeteria to thank HOI for lending him one hundred million dollars, without which he would not be able to hire a lawyer. CHU is very impressed by what HOI has done, and calls him “a real hero”. CHU learns from KEI that HOI and NGA like each other. HOI admits to CHU honestly, but assures him he will not want anything that is beyond what is proper. CHU and SUM strongly oppose NGA’s going out with HOI. LEI is determined to talk them into giving the two young people a chance.

KAI joins the editorial meeting so as to please his father. He criticizes WING whenever he has the chance. HING would like to get back his mobile phone but the security guards do not let him. Even CHU is unable to settle the matter down. When WING sees this, he has a word with the security supervisor, who returns the phone to HING immediately. HING and the others are therefore certain that WING is MR. KO’s son. WING’s colleagues often make him pay for their lunch. As a result, he can only afford to take SUSAN to street stalls. SUSAN discovers that WING has sold is car. Later, she conducts some research on cheap but tasty restaurants to see whether CHU will be so kind to introduce them in his column. The rumor that WING is MR. KO’s love child has caused WING a lot of trouble. When MR. KO is aware of this, he writes WING a check to thank him for handling the rumor single-handedly.

YEE suggests having a day-off on Christmas at a meeting with ROGER, YEE and other staff members. KWAI, HOI-YEE and YEE are talking happily about YEE’s holiday at home. BRIAN, YEE’s boyfriend, calls on suddenly to tell her he cannot make it to Thailand, disappointing her to the core. CHU and his family talk about their Mid-Autumn Festival plan. TUNG leaves suddenly, looking much occupied. Later, he is surprised to find YEE drinking beer at the pier. YEE is upset that BRIAN cannot go to Thailand with her. In return, he tells her the promise he once made to his former wife, JESSIE. JESSIE has just returned to Hong Kong. TUNG sees her and YEE together. Later, he tells YEE how he had overheard that JESSIE had an abortion many years ago.

CHU tells YEE how he slapped JESSIE on the face the moment he learnt about her abortion. JESSIE has returned to Hong Kong. CHU is not sure whether he should tell TUNG. Taking Sum’s advice, he goes to Pakbaodot to tell TUNG JESSIE is now on Lamma Island. TUNG is making a delivery to Lamma Island. He receives KWAI’s text message informing him YEE is cooking for a friend’s party on Lamma Island as soon as he has landed. Then he sees YEE at a distance, but decides not to go up and say hello to her. As a result, he has missed out on JESSIE, who has come to pick YEE up. TUNG sees JESSIE’s photo at a bar. Following the instruction of the bar owner, he goes to a sweet soup shop to look for JESSIE. In fact, JESSIE is taking YEE to the sweet soup shop too. But it is fate that they do not see each other. He arrives at the boutique which is waiting for his delivery, not knowing that JESSIE is changing in the fitting room.

JESSIE gives YEE a box of moon cakes and other festive food to take home. YEE runs into TUNG on the ferry. It is Mid-Autumn Festival today, and so they admire the full moon together. MR. KO gives LEI a ride home. There is a photo of her and her late husband in the sitting room. MR. KO is so careless that he spills coffee on the photo. KEI shows him the door resolutely. SUM and NGA wonder why MR. KO left LEI’s place so suddenly. LEI complains that he does not care about her as much as her late husband did. Everybody in the family is of the view that she is still living in her husband’s shadow. Many years ago, LEI’s late husband had bought her a limited edition watch with the model number of GF9413 but unfortunately it had gone missing. Once, she left home for seven days to look for the watch. MR. KO is complaining to CHU about LEI when she calls and invites him to a date.… ...

LEI would like to have an Italian watch with the model number of GF9413 and serial number of 001 for birthday. MR. KO assures her she will get it. NGA and HOI try their best to look for LEI’s missing watch. The agent of the watch tells them no one has ever brought the watch over for repairs. They therefore turn to NURSE LO, who used to work for DR. YEUNG, LEI’s husband. According to NURSE LO, the son of the watch manufacturer was a patient of DR. YEUNG’s. He agreed to fix the watch for DR. YEUNG on the condition that he operated for him. DR. YEUNG had a heart attack on his way to the airport to pick up the fixed watch. MR. KO has bought LEI an expensive necklace as birthday gift but she does not like it. Someone has seen MR. KO and his ex-girlfriend in the airport. CHU, HOI and NGA worry that if LEI does not get over DR. YEUNG she will end up being alone. LEI hears them.

He takes a photo of it with his mobile phone. HON has made some milk tea cheese cakes for people at Bird’s-Eye View Daily Post. To his surprise, the cakes KEUNG have brought taste exactly the same as his. HON is upset that his idea has been plagiarized. KEI gives him some words of consolation. CHU wants to write a feature article to expose KWONG’s evil doing. HON stops him, believing he will outdo KWONG. HON lets KEI try his modified cakes. There is some chocolate on the corner of her mouth. HON wipes her mouth.… ...

KO looks at the building in WING and KAI’s company. KAI wrongly believes that his father is buying an apartment for WING, thus hating him even more. LEI and her friends go shopping together. It happens that KAI is also in the same boutique. There is a handbag LEI likes very much, but KAI buys it before she can do so and ridicules her in front of her friends. WING accompanies MR. KO to buy a birthday present for KAI. He tells MR. KO about how KAI humiliated LEI. He also claims he will give KAI a gentle warning. WING gives KAI the present on behalf of MR. KO. Later, KAI apologizes to KEI and presents her the handbag she likes. MR. KO asks WING what he has done. WING prefers to keep it a secret.

Later, YEE seeks TUNG, KWAI and MARTIN’s comments on her vegetarian shark fin soup. It is decided that the restaurant will follow her recipe. CHI would like to see KWAI. When she arrives at the restaurant, it is his secretary that is waiting. It turns out that CHI only needs her to sign on a car insurance policy.… ...

MARTIN takes KWAI to see his parents at a hotel. His parents like KWAI a lot, and both have bought her expensive jewelry. In YEE’s company, KWAI tells MARTIN she has decided not to marry him. TUNG does not agree with KWAI. In his opinion, a ring symbolizes a man’s promise to a woman. As such, both parties should keep the promise once it has been made. YEE, however, believes one should not begin a marriage simply because of a ring. KWAI asks YEE how MARTIN is doing when YEE gets home. YEE gives her a hug, and then she starts to weep. BRIAN needs to see YEE urgently. TUNG overhears him telling a waiter he is going to propose to his girlfriend.

BRIAN proposes to YEE. She needs to think over it before she can make up her mind. YEE has lost her car park ticket. TUNG has picked it. The glass of YEE’s car has been broken. BRIAN’s ring which she has put in the car has been stolen too. TUNG follows the thief to the suburb. The thief throws the ring into the sea as soon as he gets out of his car. TUNG jumps into the sea without even the slightest hesitation. KWAI tells MING BRIAN has proposed to YEE. Honestly speaking, KWAI finds BRIAN a very good man. TUNG runs into BRIAN at a hotel as the latter is telling the person at the other end of the phone that he would like to cancel his holiday. TUNG reprimands BRIAN, only to be given a punch on the face. BRIAN, in return, accuses TUNG of being the other man. TUNG looks for YEE at Joyful Kitchen. Out of his expectation, JESSIE is also there.

TUNG takes JESSIE to the apartment she wanted to buy ten years ago and tells her how he talked its owner into selling the apartment to him. Deeply impressed, she kisses him. KWAI thinks that it is unwise for YEE to give up before she tries. YEE tells her JESSIE is like the missing puzzle piece of TUNG’s heart. JESSIE sees YEE and TUNG’s “wedding photos”. YEE tells her she is throwing them away. JESSIE talks about her two former boyfriends, TUNG and CHUN, as she dines with her mother, ANN. In her opinion, CHUN looks like a loser to her now, while TUNG is getting more and more glamorous. She also believes that he has never really got over her. She intends to start over with TUNG again, believing she is only getting back what belongs to her. ANN implies to her that TUNG is going out with YEE. As an observer, she knows that things are getting more and more complicated.

JESSIE is having lunch with YEE. She runs into CHU on the way. Many years ago she had an abortion. Now that she sees CHU again, she thanks him for keeping her abortion a secret.

To her surprise and disappointment, he pushes her away. YEE takes delivery of JESSIE’s new washing machine for JESSIE. She sees two toothbrushes and TUNG’s mobile phone, which has stored a naked photo of JESSIE, at JESSIE’s home. She jumps to the conclusion that JESSIE and TUNG have started over again with each other. TUNG invites YEE to play bowling. She turns him down with a make-up excuse. JESSIE has bought a pair of “V R the Best” necklace on the Internet. She keeps one, and gives the other one to YEE, whom she considers her best friend. YEE sees CHUN as she is having lunch with JESSIE.… ...

KWAI asks TUNG to treat her and MING to dinner as soon as she hears JESSIE asks ANN and TUNG to dinner. To her disappointment, JESSIE shows up uninvited. MRS. LIU, who is a student of YEE’s, gets a call from husband, who is drunk, telling her to drop the class immediately to go picking him up.

KEUNG’s hands are full of chocolate. Someone has put the trousers in the water basin. KEUGN mistakenly takes them for a cloth and wipes his hands with them. When he realizes his mistake, he takes the trousers to the washroom to clean but leaves the cleaning undone. MR. KO flies into a fit of anger when he sees the trousers. Presenting a photograph of the dirty trousers, he swears to axe the owner of the trousers if he does not stand out now. WING and SUSAN claim to be the owner simultaneously.

Meanwhile, KEI calls and tells him about the movie, putting him in a dilemma. Fortunately, MEI-CHING gives him a hand just in time. UNCLE KAU asks MR. KO and CHU how their children are doing. Both reply that their children are all very busy with work. As soon as they have finished, HON and KEI appear right in front of their eyes hand-in-hand. MR. KO and CHU are both embarrassed and angry. MR. KO knows very well that career and boyfriend are more important than him in KEI’s eyes. But he also knows equally well that if HON is busy, she can surely spend more time with him.

Later, her friends tell her they have once heard the sound of NGA and HOI making love at LEI’s home. SUM tells CHU about NGA’s pregnancy. Both fear that NGA will have an abortion. NGA clarifies to her worried parents. CHU believes the pregnancy test stick should belong to LEI. KWAI visits LEI.

MR. KO tells KAI to think of activities that can include HON. KAI suggests inviting him to his upcoming fund raising ball. HON is met with nasty remarks from KAI, who also spills champagne on his suit, at the ball. PING hears that the prince is suing MR. KO for bribing officials. MR. KO writes both KAI and HON a check for $50,000,000. After checking with his father’s legal adviser, KAI worries that his father’s assets will be ordered to be frozen. MR. KO receives a call from the bank informing him KAI has altered his check. He gives his son a good telling-off afterwards but he does not feel sorry at all. MR. KO is so furious that he kicks him out of the room. KEI consoles MR. KO by saying that money is the most important thing in life. He believes she does not know human nature well enough, adding that HON has already cashed the check.

KEI tells her father it is indeed her idea that HON should cash the check. She promises to tell HON to explain the whole thing to him later. Clients have been after MR. KO for his debts. LEI visits him with a box of banknotes. Touched, he proposes to her, only to be turned down. MR. KO tells his staff that all the accusations against him have been quashed. CHU and SHING have dinner together. MR. KO shows up out of the blue. At long last, the two friends patch up with each other. Fully dressed up and bringing with him flowers and a ring, MR. KO proposed to LEI again. She is moved by his sincerity. KWAI requests annual leave for a few days, which fall on the exact days of TUNG’s wedding. KWAI tries all she could to persuade YEE to go to Japan for a football match. But then she confesses she is only unwilling to see YEE in Hong Kong when TUNG is getting married. YEE thanks her for her thoughtfulness.

TUNG has prepared a speech for his wedding. MING cannot help but feel sorry for YEE after reading the script by chance. TUNG would like to invite CHUN to be his best man. MEI-CHING asks YEE to discourage CHUN. YEE has left CHUN a voice message. TUNG is puzzled by its content. ANN advices JESSIE not to cover anything up from TUNG. JESSIE believes YEE has talked to her mother. HOI-YEE tells KWAI YEE is meeting up with CHUN. TUNG goes to where YEE and CHUN are meeting. JESSIE calls. YEE questions why CHUN has to agree to be TUNG’s best man. He replies that he could not find an excuse to turn TUNG down, assuring her he will not show up at the wedding. JESSIE tells TUNG about her abortion and her relationship with CHUN. This is such a big blow to him that he would rather she never tell him the truth.

TUNG meets YEE at a pier, where she gives him a wedding gift. JESSIE tells CHUN she has told TUNG about her abortion. YEE visits JESSIE. She is astonished to learn that JESSIE is using CHU to pressure TUNG into marrying her. She sincerely believes that JESSIE would not have told TUNG the truth if TUNG has not invited CHUN to be his best man. YEE must dash for the TV station but she gets locked up in her room. As KWAI is in Shenzhen, she calls TUNG to go and help YEE. JESSIE texts KWAI the number of a locksmith using TUNG’s mobile phone. In the meantime, she tells TUNG to go to a sweet soup shop with her. They have an accident when they come to a traffic circle. TUNG’s left eye has been severely injured, resulting in his second retinal detachment. What is more, it is very likely that his right eye will also go blind. CHU blames himself for injuring TUNG’s eye many years ago.… ...

TUNG’s eye surgery is very successful, though it takes two weeks until the doctor knows whether he has stored the vision of his left eye. He asks CHU to take care of the preparation of his wedding. YEE visits TUNG, who is playing the saxophone in the garden of the hospital. Despite his eye problems, he can tell by the perfume she is wearing that she has come. TUNG is going home today. His family members are surprised that he is all packed when they visit him. TUNG gives them a lesson on how to communicate with and help the visually-impaired people. TUNG discovers that tactile guide paths have been installed on their floor. JESSIE is so shocked to see the tactile guide paths that she can hardly pluck up enough courage to press on the door bell. SUM has bought some appliances specially designed for people who have visual difficulty. She tells JESSIE to install them in her place. JESSIE complains to ANN when the latter calls on her.

YEE cannot make it to TUNG’s wedding, as she is going to Japan. She leaves TUNG a voice mail to tell him his, as well as sending him her blessing. The wedding ceremony is about to begin but JESSIE is nowhere to be seen. It suddenly dawns to TUNG that she has actually suffered a great deal since he lost his vision. ANN tells them JESSIE has left Hong Kong. CHU and LEE are so furious that they vent their anger on ANN. ANN passes TUNG a letter written by JESSIE. He tells HON to read the letter to him. YEE cuts short her journey as soon as she learns about the cancellation of TUNG’s wedding. The two go for bowling again, just like they did in the past. There is a power cut. TUNG decides it would be a good opportunity to let his family know that he can take care of himself. HON tells his dad that “The World on a Shoestring” has sent him an article. As he chats with “The World on a Shoestring” on the net, CHU learns at last that he is TUNG.

MR. KO has won a crystal stone, the history of which dates back to the Tang Dynasty. He is told that whoever sleeps with the stone for one night will find a happy marriage. He wants to keep the stone in a glass box. KWAI volunteers to find one for him. KWAI meets a boy on the street and takes him home out of sympathy. But she soon discovers that he is a little liar. She calls his father to tell him to come over. She cannot believe it that his father is KAU TSUN, a well-known wealthy bachelor in town. TSUN goes to Pakbaodot to invite KWAI to dinner. HOI-YEE is taking part in a charity performance, at which she will play a witch and sing to the piano accompaniment of BROTHER FROG. When she finishes, she kisses BROTHER FROG as requested by the MC and the audience. She is rather surprised to find BROTHER FROG in tears. MR. KO gives KWAI a mobile phone. It rings as soon as she has received it. It is TSUN who calls.

TUNG has got on the wrong bus. As his mobile phone has run out of battery, he is unable to contact YEE, who is waiting for him at the bowling center. SUM and LEI take a bus with TUNG. A few other passengers are making all sorts of noises. SUM and LEI go up to request them to keep quiet. However, TUNG tells them not to do necessary things such as these. CHU has enrolled TUNG in a one-on-one Braille class. TUNG is not happy with his arrangement. The tutor of the class reminds TUNG it takes time for the family of a visually challenged person to adapt to the changes of daily life at the beginning. CHU and the others are studying TUNG’s daily activities roster. TUNG is going to Ho Man Tin for a lesson but no one can go with him. YEE overhears their conversation, and decides to work in the same district the same day. TUNG touches a woman, taking her for YEE, accidentally. YEE, who has come to pick him up, apologizes to the woman for him.… ...

The France Association of Chefs has awarded YEE the World Blue Star Chef Award 2011, making her the first Chinese to win the prestigious award. UNCLE KAU suggests throwing a big party in celebration of his as well as the anniversary of his hotel. He assigns HON to take charge of the preparation. TUNG is disappointed that YEE did not invite him to be his partner. In indeed, YEE very much likes to share her important moment with TUNG. So KWAI and HOI-YEE discuss how to help YEE fulfill her wish. CHU tells YEE his whole family is attending the ball to support her. NGA and TUNG show up at the staff cafeteria. YEE musters up the courage to invite him to be her partner. Later, she goes to shop for a piece of expensive evening dress for the celebration party. HON asks TUNG to help him with the set up of the party at the hotel, his main purpose however is to help him get familiar with the venue.… ...

All agrees that practicing dance with TUNG is not a good experience. TUNG is drenched to the skin by heavy rain. He faints. CHU takes him to the hospital at once. TUNG is running a high fever, but he pleads the doctor to let him go to YEE’s celebration party. TUNG falls into sleep after drinking the water SUM gives him. YEE is very upset that TUNG cannot make it to the party. YEE would like to visit TUNG; he turns her down, unwilling to let her see his sickly countenance. YEE thanks TUNG in her speech. His sudden appearance takes her by surprise. He invites her to a dance. Then comes the competition section. Whoever is able to find their partner in the dark will win a grand prize. KWAI can tell that TUNG and YEE have been kissing.

YEE decides not to give lessons on weekends so as to spend more time with TUNG. MEI-CHING regrets that their romance did not start sooner. YEE and TUNG go to the countryside. She takes a photo of almost everything she sees, so that they can review the happy moments they spend together when he restores his sight. YEE, HOI-YEE and TUNG have lunch together. BRAIN, who is at a distance, can see that there is something wrong with TUNG’s eyes. When YEE and TUNG have gone, he goes up to confirm with HOI-YEE. KWAI worries that BRAIN will pursue YEE again. TUNG overhears what she says. UNCLE KAU is opening a high-class restaurant in Beijing and his investment is as much as a hundred million dollars. He invites YEE to be the Executive Chef. TUNG encourages YEE to go pursuing her goals after learning about the news. He also tells her not to worry about him. Deeply touched, she asks him to marry her.

Two years have passed. CHU has retired. HING has taken his place as Editor-in-chief. He tells HON to cover the opening of YEE’s new restaurant, which is on a trial run. TUNG looks after the baby of his neighbor. While he likes kids a lot, he has to face the reality too. TUNG and his wife join the CHUNG and KO families for dinner. MR. KO is looking forward to having a grandchild. KEI and HON, who got married recently, make it clear that they are not going to have any children in the coming two years. UNCLE KAU is very happy with the turnover of Dear Jane. He plans to open another cafe on the Hong Kong Island. He intends to let HON take charge of it, but HON is starting up his own bakery. The hospital informs TUNG that they have found a suitable retinal. HON’s family and friends have all come to the opening of his bakery. YEE and TUNG go to the kitchen to get some food. She suddenly has a feeling of wanting to vomit.
