YAU (Cheng) is the chef and owner of a speakeasy restaurant who cooks everything literally by the book, or in her case, an encyclopedia of recipes she inherited from her mother. But her successful career cannot compensate for an empty love life. Haunted by a family curse overshadowing three generations and destines her to fail in every relationship, Yau's hilarious bar-hopping misadventures have earned the compassion of her boyish assistant and secret admirer HALL (Yan).

Torn between two lovers - a beau down memory lane and an awkward boy-lover - Yau is at the crossroads between both her love life and career. As she's heading to compete in the Iron Chef show, a showdown between friends and lovers in Japan spins everything out of control, but therein Yau discovers the key to unlock the family curse to her heart......
