"A receipt for love across the sea"
A Chinese Singaporean chef, Ryan, formerly working in Tokyo, finds himself in Okinawa begging a disgruntled old chef to teach him traditional Okinawan food. A top Japanese food critic, Yuki, finds herself in Singapore on an eye opening discovery of their cuisines. In reality both are looking for each other after an emotional breakup years ago when she left him without a trace. Emotionally crippled by their breakup, Ryan searches her home-town for her but discovers instead the art of traditional Okinawan food and her childhood best friend, Nami. When Yuki suddenly appears in Okinawa looking to find closure, Ryan cooks and serves her their final meal, hoping that she can discover what she has been yearning for all these years.
