Synopsis

[edit]

Things get hot in the kitchen when Oscar Han (Lego Lee), a lively young chef, starts mixing up trouble under the nose of disciplined chef Fang Xiao Rou (Allison Lin). But as these complete opposites struggle to create mesmerizing meals, they eventually discover that cooking with gas requires more than technical skills and bravado. In fact, romance just may be the secret ingredient Oscar and Xiao Rou have been searching for all along.[1]
