Once upon a time in China.

Actually, that's only Binondo.

But this is how the first restaurant

of my grandparents looked like in China

before they migrated to the Philippines.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Just like Grandma, I also love to cook.

Grandma.

Mm.

Sorry, Grandma.

The problem is,

cooking doesn't like me.

The problem with you is, you're too serious when you are cooking.

I feel like quitting culinary school.

Mm.

Mm!

Grandma.

I am allergic to talking about having a boyfriend.

Because Grandma can't wait to see me get married.

She always sets me up with anyone on a blind date.

And of course, all of them are Chinese.

Because Chinese people believe, Chinese are meant for Chinese only.

This is delicious.

Because I enjoy watching you eating.

But no matter how lousy the dates turned out,

that didn't stop my grandma from setting me up to see anyone.

Mom believes in love at first sight.

All it takes is one look for you to know

if the man before you is truly meant for you.

And definitely, it's not him.

Sigh, I give up already!

Until one day,

my ideal guy came.

He's the one!

I've finally met my soulmate. He's nice, a gentleman, and 100% Chinese.

So this is your culinary school.

So, where'd you wanna go?

It's up to you, I'll just change clothes.

All right, go ahead.

Get in. Come

Charity, I want you to meet my mom.

Hello.

I'm always with my mom, I hope you don't mind.

Oh, no, he's a mama's boy.

Do you want to have fun and drink?

-I'm game! -

Right then and there,

I promised I wouldn't date anyone anymore, ever.

Chinese or otherwise.

Besides, love at first sight isn't real!

- Hey, Nathan! -Yes?

Mrs. Go was looking for you. She was panicking.

You and Kate look after the store.

That's right, attend to her already.

-Thanks, you're here. -What happened?

Please help me, my dog. My dog isn't barking.

-Huh? -

Maybe you scolded him? Didn't you tell me your dog is sensitive?

How could I not scold him?

He ate my Valium.

What? Oh, no!

-Oh my. Let's bring him inside. - Baby…

But mom, I liked the Chihuahua more.

Okay, tell it to your dad.

Ma'am, isn't he cute?

I know.

But mom is allergic to dogs.

Ma'am, not that.

Over there.

Whoa! It's so dusty here.

Come on, let's go over here.

Are we leaving already?

Why? Who was that?

My girlfriend.

You're so cheeky!

How come she's your girlfriend? She just looked at you.

What's wrong with that? That's what I'm feeling.

You know what?

-I'll find her and court her. -

And by the way,

where in the world do you see an assistant who hits his boss who's a doctor?

A dog doctor, you mean.

And Nathan, we just studied at the same time.

-And I'm smarter than you. -

My mom just ran out of money that's why I couldn't finish school.

So don't rub it in my face that you're a doctor. Hmph!

-Okay, okay. -Hey, hey!

Both of you, I need help! There are a lot of customers inside.

Sorry, doc. It's his fault.

-Why are you calling him "doc" but not me? -

Are you flirting with Kate?

Bro, what are you talking about? She's like my sister.

-And I won't even try. I have taste. -Taste?

A playboy like yourself doesn't require taste to hit on anyone.

- Let's go. -Hey! I'm not a playboy.

You're a playboy. You're also a…

You're also the quiet type.

You look harmless. But also a heartbreaker.

That's true, Master Lee. You know what? This month,

he broke up with a girl three times.

You think he's the silent type, but he's a lady killer.

Stop that.

You have to be careful,

if you don't want what happened before to happen again.

Happened before?

You had a lot of wives before.

One wife after another every week.

What?

So you were Chinese in your past life?

Chinese and playboy.

You had a lot of girls but no happiness.

Too much negative energy. Too much bad luck.

It may get back to you.

Get back at me, how?

Maybe, the time you find your true love.

You may lose her.

Nathan.

Good thing you came.

I thought you wouldn't make it.

You know what?

When my baby was still alive…

…he was such a good boy.

Mrs. Go?

Wasn't that Washington? Your dog?

If you look at him, he seems like he's just sleeping.

Mrs. Go, please give me a minute.

Baby.

Hey! Where are you going?

We thought it was a child, but it's a dog!

Just a minute.

Would you like to share my umbrella?

Once upon a time in China.

Actually, that's only Binondo.

I met somebody and Mom was right.

Love at first sight is real.

Nathan, I need to tell you something.

My family isn't really from Bacolod.

Okay…

So…

What are we doing here?

Um… this…

this restaurant is owned by my grandparents.

It's where I train. Sit down.

Um, my grandma wants me to manage the place in the future.

But if you ask dad, he wanted me to manage the real estate business.

Um…

I bought you here because

I want you to meet my family.

They're here?

No, they're not here. Um, but if…

you see them in person…

I have to prepare you.

Prepare? For what?

For them.

That's my mom.

She's louder than a rooster in the morning.

Why are you shouting?

-It's because-- -You're hurting my ears!

It's because it is scary, ma'am.

What's so scary?

Don't you play with me.

This is from Doctor Belo.

This is expensive. So that I stay beautiful.

This fish that you bought.

-Is that fresh? - Yes, ma'am, it's fresh.

If it's stale, all of you are fired!

Whoo!

But for how loud my mom can be,

that's how quiet dad is.

Pa?

That's my older brother Emerson.
