All of you may know that I start to do recap on this drama, mid way through the broadcast. So many events have occurred during that time. And thus my readers may not understand what have actually happened. So I'm going to recap 40eps in one post into a few part. And I'll make recap on all episode once I'm free.

- Qing You work as a chef at Long Yi Bai, a quick restaurant that used to belong to her father. The restaurant is being run by her uncle, untie and her friend You Zhen Zhen (Ivy Shao).. Tian Hao frequently gives a helping hand.

- Zhai Yu with his co-worker Lian Wen Xiang (Zhou Kai Wen) visit Long Yi Bai for late dinner or supper.. They order friend rice and when being served and taste, they both comment that the friend rice taste like oil fried rice. Which angers every staff at the restaurant. Zhai Yu then told Qing you to come to Hana to have a taste of their fried rice.

- Distributed by the comment made by Zhai Yu, Qing You along with Zhen Zhen enters Hana and amazed by Hana interior. Zai Yu sees them and brings them to VIP room and serves them with Hana fried rice.

- Both Qing You and Zhen Zhen give a try and say that the fried rice taste amazing. But for Qing You the taste of the fried rice remind her of her father. As he used to cook fried rice for Qing You when she was small.

- Qing You told and beg Zai Yu to tell Hana head chef to teach her how to make this fried rice. As the taste remind her of her father and want to have those memories back. Little did she know that Zai Yu is the head chef and Zhai Yu says that the head chef did not want to meet her.

- A special customer booked the whole Long Yi Bai and request a three meal made from lobster. Which Qing You rarely make since it is very expensive. The hunts for fresh lobster go! Qing you went to the market and she find the lobster she want but at that time Zai Yu also want the same lobster (last one). So the seller of the lobster says that let the lobster choose whom it will go to.. *I think* it went to Qing You. They bump into each other on their way home and their groceries box got switch. The customer says that the food is far from what Qing You father used to make, thus she asked if the customer recognize her dad. He says yes, he used to be Qing You father loyal customer also Qing You father used to be Hana Head chef. This information is new to the family too.

- Finding out the groceries box being switch, Qing You bring the box to Hana to exchange it with her box. She went into the kitchen and she's amused with Hana kitchen as it has everything that a pro kitchen needs. So she took a video of the kitchen and when she's filming Zai Yu enter the kitchen half naked (shower room located behind the kitchen) and unpurpsoselly being filmed by Qing You.

- In exchange for the video Zhai Yu agree that he will let his head chef to teach her how to make the friend rice. One day he comes back to Long Yi Bai to make the fried rice and Qing You asked why it is him? And he says that head chef is busy.. He cooked and Qing You take notes. Qing You, uncle and untie take a taste of the fried rice and says that it was exactly the same as what Qing You father used to make.

- Valentines day is approaching, the whole Long Yi Bai think of events to boost the customer and Qing You suggest making special menu " Roasted Chicken". Val's day before going to the poultry man Qing You stop by a chinaware shop. And there she meets with Zhai Yu again. Shocked Zai Yu drop a bowl and Qing You try to catch it and in the process Qing You hurt her hand.

- Zhai Yu end up using Qing You truck to drive her to the poultry man site. Since Qing You cannot use her hand and the breeder hurt his back, Zhai Yu have no other choice other than catching the chicken himself.

- On the way down the mountain the truck flip over because of a small rock. The chicken fee all over and even worse it starts to rain. No other choice except to wait for the bust that is scheduled at 22.00.They both end up not able to work at their own restaurant during the busiest day.

- The popularity of Long Yi Bai boost as Zhai Yu take over the kitchen. He works at Long Yi Bai for a few good days and leaves his position temporary at Hana. But then Zai Yu father, Fu Chang Nian (Fu Lei) find out. Zai Yu is being removed from his position at Hana, because of his recklessness of not making sure his subordinate Jin Zhong Gang (Qiu Jun Ru) do his job properly. Jin Gang being fired out.
