A humorous paean to the joys of food! After stopping at a small, roadside ramen noodle vendor, a truck-driving stranger sets about helping the despondent, widowed shop owner to defy pressure to sell her shop and instead transform it into a paragon of the “art of noodle-soup making”. Meanwhile, a gourmet gangster gets kinky with live prawn, a ladies etiquette class learns to slurp spaghetti, and a man with a sore tooth shares ice cream with a young child.
