Plot Synopsis

People once said, love is like flavour; once you have a taste of it, you will never forget. Wa'er's Father runs a well-known vegetarian restaurant in Hangzhou. Wa'er herself is a successful manager of a luxurious health resort. Her boyfriend, Zhang Quan, is a dedicated computer game designer from Taipei, who loves Wa'er but spends too much time in the virtual world.

Zhang Quan's auntie, Apple, raised Zhang Quan like her own son. She's squandering her life in alcohol and nightclub due to loneliness. In order to help his auntie get her life back on track, Zhang Quan takes Apple back to Hangzhou together, which is also her home town before she fled to Taiwan during the war.

Apple's arrival causes quite a stir in Zhang Quan and Wa'er's lives. After one incident, the tension between Wa'er and Zhang Quan explodes, and that Father is secretly planning on closing the restaurant due to his chronic disease is revealed. Wa'er and her carefree sister Xiao Lan decide to help their father fight the disease and to keep the restaurant.

Zhang Quan plans on going back to Taiwan with Apple when he thinks he loses Wa'er. Little does he know, his auntie doesn't really want to leave with him.

After this trip, Apple finds out the answer to the secret that she has kept for over fifty years. Because of the restaurant, the relationships of the two generations intertwine and bond again.
