Life is like a bowl of Bak Kut Teh soup, as one must be able to withstand the test of time to understand himself, and know his own self-worth.
Ah Yuan was hardworking and honest, and refused to cut corners when cooking his Bak Kut The.
At the coffee shop was a lady selling duck rice named Lin Fang, who was very hardworking, and sacrificed a lot for her family.
Her husband, Mark, was bad tempered and abusive as a result of being jobless for a long time, and was having an affair with a bar owner named Amy.
One day, Lin Fang spotted Ah Hai and discovered that he was working for a gang.
The lady boss was Yin Jie, who was stingy and calculative, and cared only for material benefits.
Her son was called Jin Mao, and he was idle all day, looking for a way to earn a quick buck.
Paul, who sold western food, met a girl from China called Jiang Hong, and fell in love with her.
The son of the coffee shop owner, Jin Mao, fell in love with her and pursued her relentlessly.
When he knew that she needed a lot of money, he recommended her a job selling weight loss pills.
Jin Mao had always carried a torch for Jiang Hong, and even tried to kiss her forcibly when she was tipsy.
After Jiang Hong graduated, she was actively looking for a job in order to gain a work permit to stay in Singapore.
In the aroma of food, and the unique flavor of the coffee shop, many touching stories of the resilience of life are brought forth.
In life there are always ups and downs, sweet and sour, but one's strength of character, the ingredients for resilience and perseverance, dictates one's failure or success.
