Synopsis

Yu Wenfu transmigrates into a down-and-out Hong Kong star in the 1980s. The moment she opens her eyes, she is saddled with a debt of 200,000 yuan. A gossip magazine is still running old stories about her lovesick past, while her ex-boyfriend is using them to boost his fame. She quits show business without hesitation, takes in the pitiful child her late sister left behind, and uses her last few Hong Kong dollars to set up a food stall on Temple Street. With a flip of the spatula, she unleashes all the skills of the top chef she was in her past life. One slice of braised pig ear fills half the street with its aroma. She doesn't attract any big-name stars, but she does draw in the most exhausted women in the city. Housewives suffering from emotional abuse, mistresses kept by wealthy families, hostesses at nightclubs, poor students on the verge of dropping out... When they arrive, there is no light in their eyes. They just want a mouthful of braised food to warm their stomachs. Later, they find a glimmer of hope for their lives in that very food. From a tiny stall on Temple Street to Yu's Kitchen, a name known throughout Hong Kong. Yu's Kitchen on Temple Street: a cure for anyone who doesn't want to go on living, and, as a bonus, for adults who have lost their appetite.
