Drive safely, Prem.

I will.

That’s me, Prem.

My house is a small restaurant by the canal.

I have to wake up early and ride a motorcycle like this every day.

Why do I do this?

Because the early bird gets the worm. A worm!

A worm!

That's proof of freshness, right?

I've realized my passion for cooking and have wanted to learn since I was young.

and have wanted to learn since I was young.

My life is pretty much revolving around cooking.

I used to ask my grandma why she loved cooking.

I don’t want to eat here. I want pizza.

Grandma, that boy seems to be in a bad mood.

Yes, it seems so. What should we do, Prem?

How about we serve him Fried Pork Toast?

Good idea. Go ahead.

Wow, what’s that?

This is Fried Pork Toast.

Please try it. It’s delicious.

When a dish brings smiles to people, it brings joy to the person who makes it.

This has become my greatest inspiration.

But it's not just about seeing people enjoying the food I cook; it's also about being able to finally provide for my family.

But I almost had to give up on my dream because the tuition fees were so expensive.

because the tuition fees were so expensive.

I didn't know how many extra jobs I would have to take on to cover the fees.

I didn't want to burden my family further by adding to their financial struggles to pay for my tuition fees.

by adding to their financial struggles to pay for my tuition fees.

You want to study there?

No, not at all.

Even though you don’t want to, I want to enroll you in there.

Can I pay for it?

My grandma, who always speaks opposites, understands me best.

At that time, I thought I could finally learn the culinary skills I'd always wanted.

YEAR 1 - I could finally be on the path to become the greatest chef to repay my debt of gratitude to my grandma, who endured hardships for my sake.

to repay my debt of gratitude to my grandma, who endured hardships for my sake.

Things were not what I’d expected.

I had to study math in the first year.

Bummer!

What’s the answer to this one?

Mother’s Day.

Ah, 12th of August.

Woah!

I got into here with a GED.

- I suck at math. - I had to be patient. My day will arrive soon.

YEAR 2

Wash this for me.

In my second year, I could only be a kitchen helper.

YEAR 3 - SEMESTER 1

All I got to do was debone chicken. Still far from my dream.

Gosh!

I’m now in the second semester of my third year.

This will finally be my day.

Wow, you’ve got so many things to buy.

So, did you finally make it to a real cooking class?

Took you what, three whole years?

Will you be fine?

But you should get something from your grandma.

You should be able to do it.

Or just get to wing it?

You certainly have a way with words.

Why limit yourself to working here in the market?

You're more suited to be a public speaker.

Ouch. That hurts.

Anyway, I hope you can get your hands on cooking soon.

Keep on selecting.

Give me a hand.

Thanks.

What’s wrong with this guy?

Did you get everything?

No.

Good.

Just leave the bag. I’ll take it from here.

See if Pang is awake.

If not, wake her up.

Prepare another set for me.

Okay, sir.

Hold on.

I don’t want it now.

Why?

Did you suddenly lose your appetite seeing your dad?

Huh?

I don’t want to join the table with you.

Are you not hungry anymore?

I’m not.

Good then.

If you refuse to eat here, why not stay empty-stomached throughout the day?

Feeling sleepy?

Sorry, Prof.
