Siu Man (Charlene Choi from HK's most beloved pop-duo Twins) scowls through her job as a gynaecology nurse, while trying to hide her mail-order dildo from her co-workers. Her marriage has fallen apart due to a non-existent sex life, and even the dildo failed to win back her ex-husband. When her father (legendary Shaw Bros action star Lau Wing) is hospitalized, she is forced to take over the running of his cha-chaan-teng (Hong Kong style diner). But how can Siu Man, who's been forbidden to enter the kitchen since childhood, recreate her father's signature dishes: Pork Belly stewed with pickled veggies and steamed fish-and-egg pudding? Unexpected help comes in the form of Chia-hao (Wu Kang-jen), a hunky Paris-trained cordon bleu chef who arouses both her appetite and her desire. She realizes that she must tackle her fear of intimacy head-on. It starts with cooking and pole-dancing lessons.
