Cook Up a Storm. When asked why, Mountain told Sky that he has no talent as a cook and he would only take him back if he can prove to be a great cook.
In reality, Mountain chose to pursue his culinary career over being a father and made the excuse that Sky can't even make a decent bowl of noodles. Because of that, Sky spent twenty years training to become a great chef under Uncle Seven. On the other side, Paul made a promise to his dying father that he would become a great cook.
Through that journey, he became a highly successful chef in Europe and decides to run his own restaurant in Hong Kong, Stellar. However, this would bring conflict between Paul and Sky. In an old area of Hong Kong, Sky is now an acclaimed chef at Seven.
However, the Li Management Group arrives and starts buying various properties of the old sector, including developing Stellar for Paul.
The opening of Stellar proves to be a threat to Sky as these two chefs find themselves fighting for the best ingredients in the markets and maintaining their clientele. Stellar's fine haute cuisine represents a form of aggressive gentrification to the neighborhood and a threat to traditional Chinese cuisine.
Their rivalry begins with a challenge for the best fish and the culinary masters agreed to face each other in a culinary duel. Sky makes a traditional salt-baked duck while Paul makes a foie gras sorbet.
While both tied in points, the judges declare Paul the victor, as his dish presentation was superior to Sky's bland plating. Although the victory should've solidified Paul's abilities as a cook, things do not go as expected.
It was while celebrating their victory that the manager of Li Group tells Paul he wants to replace him with Mayo, sous chef and girlfriend, reasoning that a woman is far more appealing on media than a man. Betrayed and confused, Paul tries to defend his position as head chef, but Mayo exposes his dark secret: Paul has problems tasting certain flavors, especially saltiness.
To compensate, he would utilize a notebook containing all his recipes and have others test taste for him. To make matters worse, the manager announces that he and Mayo are romantically involved. Mayo explains to Paul that she never loved him and only sided with him to surpass him. Now that she can take the title as executive chef of Stellar, she doesn't need Paul anymore.

Angry that he has lost everything, Paul leaves. Sky bumps into Paul drinking at an event stadium. Both share their past and troubles, and find mutual respect for each other. Both have a common goal of reaching the culinary top and decided to team up. Paul and Sky then appear, announcing their partnership. Paul reminds the manager that as the winner of the competition, he eligible to compete at the culinary championship, not the Li Group.
Surprised by that technicality, the Li Group leaves, calling Paul a traitor. Sky trains Paul in the ways of Chinese cooking as well as developing Paul's limited palate to help create something new for the competition. In Macau, at the Studio City Casino, attending the 7th International Culinary Competition, Sky and Paul use both their culinary strengths to compete against four other great chefs.
