After meeting Kit and verifying that his skills are gone, Lung got both of them to find his wife to wake Kit up.
Lung recommended them to seek Kit in China to engage his service to cook in the challenge. They seek the help of Lung Kwun-bo, a master chef, but he did not know how to cook the Imperial Feast. After several foiled attempts at preparing even a simple dish, they realise the futility of their initial efforts as the Feast could only be accomplished by a master chef and their limited cooking skills would be of no use if they were to save their establishment. Au's employees were poached over to 'Super Group', being promised that they will own a share of the restaurant and better salary if Au loses the challenge.Īu then enlists the assistance of a former triad member, a rookie chef named Sun who aspires to be a top chef, and had worked at Au's restaurant wishing to shed his criminal past together with Au's daughter Wai. Au protested and the Super Group supremo throws down a challenge to cook the legendary Manchu Han Imperial Feast, where the loser would be absorbed into the Super Group indefinitely. To further compound problems, his sense of taste appeared to have left him due to his constant drunken state, and he became cranky and unsociable.Įlsewhere, a popular Chinese restaurant in Hong Kong owned by Au was approached by an organisation 'Super Group' who wished to merge all major Chinese restaurants into a powerful group to eliminate all opposition in Asia. Five years later, his career diminished and he was quickly forgotten. He became an alcoholic, traumatized by the separation.
Realising that a successful career can only be shared with a significant other, Kit turned bitter. She dumped him for disregarding the relationship. She was about to give birth to their child, at the same time he was about to participate in an important and prestigious cooking contest.
His obsession (and persistently stubborn attitude) with his work confirmed that he did not appear to hold his girlfriend in a special regard. However, the competition placed him in a dilemma of conflicting interests of heart - his own craft or the woman whom he loves. An elite cooking competition had placed him enviably in front of many aspiring colleagues and he seemed to have the world at his feet. Kit was a master chef who once raked in many accolades as being the finest Chinese cook.
