Renowned food critic CHUNG KWOK-CHU is invited by a new restaurant to give comments on their food. AU KO-WING and TIN HOI find the service and the food quality of the restaurant unacceptable. In fact, WING and HOI are CHU’s colleagues. CHU, who is also an assistant editor-in-chief of a paper, gives negative comments on the restaurant in his paper. Editor-in-chief CHIN TAI-KWAN tells CHU the restaurant, whose owner is a celebrity, is complaining them. CHU settles the matter tactfully. SUEN MA-LEI and HOI join CHU and his wife, TAU KWAI-SUM, for dinner. HOI tells them, CHUNG SZ-HON, CHU and SUM’s son, is returning to Hong Kong soon.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. CHU tells WAI to go form HOI but leaves the writing to HOI himself. HOI emails SUET his work the next day. 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 remembers how her mother looks at last, and how she put on a pair of wedding bangles for her. YEE is determined to cut off with CHING and their mother. She writes CHING a check for $3,000,000. YEE takes a cake to KWAI’s office. Her mother’s admission paper falls out from her pocket. TUNG is preoccupied with something at dinner. It turns out that he has come to know that YEE has written CHING a check for $3,000,000, and that she has sold the shares of Joyful Kitchen to UNCLE KAU. TUNG visits YEE’s mother at the hospital. 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 stomps into the conference room, accusing KWAN of forbidding his staff to dinner. KWAN does not get mad though. LEI and the CHUNG family go to dim sum. KWAN shows up suddenly to invite LEI to go to Macau. To everyone’s surprise, she agrees readily. LEI and CHU play golf with MR. KO. NIP, who is also in the course, accuses CHU of taking LEI away at the ball. CHU apologizes to him. LEI snaps back at NIP, throwing the crystal high heels at him. MR. KO cannot help but appreciates her even more as he sees this. HOI and HON are not sure whether they should publish KO-LING, MR. KO’s girlfriend, and NIP’s photos. LEI gives them some suggestion. 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.… ...

On the other hand, KEI reveals her background to HON.
SUSAN finds a piece of paper at the photocopier and learns that the boys in their building have a popularity chart for the girls. She is unhappy to learn that KEI ranks third on the chart. WING gets close to KEI so as to find out about her background. SUSAN notices his every move. WING has bought KEI some flowers. SUSAN cannot believe her eyes. KEI throws the flowers away as soon as she knows that they are from KAI. WING tells MR. KO KEI is his daughter and that KAI is running after her. MR. KO tells him to do all he can to stop KAI from going any further. KAI wants to date KEI but WING prevents him. Furious, he provokes WING, only to get injured. Later, WING receives a letter from KAI’s lawyer demanding $3,000,000 compensation.
HING suspects WING is MR. KO’s illegal son but none of his colleagues agrees with him. HING insists his opinion though, or else MR. KO will not help WING fight against KAI in the lawsuit. KAI is taken about when KEI tells KAI about the rumor that WING is MR. KO’s son. KEI tells HON WING and SUSAN quite like each other. By doing so, she is trying to remove HON’s doubt that she has a crush on WING. WING has drafted a statement to clarify his relationship with MR. KO. To his surprise, MR. KO opposes the idea of issuing a statement on the newspaper. KEI blames SUSAN for wearing the same dress as her. WING goes up to SUSAN’s help. MR. KO announces at lunch his plan to publish an autobiography. WING suggests KEI take charge of the interview as well as the writing.
HOI has left his USB at HON’s place. HON goes to HOI’s office to return it. He asks NGA when she will move back to the dormitory. HOI feels sad to learn that NGA’s internship is drawing to an end. CHU announces at the editorial meeting that NGA and HOI’s column will stop soon, as NGA is going back to college. NGA cannot decide whether she should continue to write for the column. CHU suggests writing in her last article that if she receives 1,000 support letters from her readers, she will continue writing. HOI asks his readers to write to NGA. More than 2,000 readers have written to support NGA. KWAN therefore decides that the column will stay. NGA learns from her professor what HOI has done to safeguard her column.
WAH of the local news section is currently on leave due to a work injury. PING tells KWAN WAH is being charged with conspiracy to defraud a company. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.… ...

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.
