Featured food: Breakfast burrito crepe (Jian Bing)
This story features four best friends who have gone on their separate ways after graduating high school. They reunite when one of their female ex-schoolmate is getting married. She meets up with two of them at first because they have lost contact with the other two. She passes them the wedding invite and tells them her wish was that for all four of them to attend her wedding together. With the help of the local police officer/ detective, the first two guys manage to track down the other two guys.
It is a heart warming story, as all four guys are just your everyday average person. None of them became really successful... One married and has a daughter, one is stuck in his job being bullied to stay overtime everyday, one is a gym machine technician and one became a teacher at their former high school.
Back in high school, the four of them were dubbed "F4"...after a famous Taiwanese boy band back in the 2000s... (Yes, they were during my time! Hahah!!) Although none of them actually look like the original F4... ;D Three out of four of the guys actually had a crush on the female schoolmate back then. When their female schoolmate finally met all four of them, they had a great time reminiscing the past and singing the famous F4 Meteor Garden song.
The female schoolmate went on to say that it would be awesome if they could perform at her wedding. The gym technician agreed to her request on the spot while the rest were hesitant, especially the chubby guy....(Aww!) He was embarrassed that he wasn't as good looking when he was back in high school.
After some persuasion, the rest finally agreed to do it. Yeah! They realised that they have nothing to lose and it was their only chance left to do something crazy together once again. They set out to make themselves fit again by hitting the gym... it was difficult at first but they managed in the end. It was truly inspiring!
They meet up again at the diner and had an impromptu performance! Hahah!! It was so funny...
The story ends with the big day, all four of them stepping out from the lift just like the F4 band! They looked so handsome! Hahahh!
I really liked this story, it was enjoyable and relatable... When you meet up with your old friends the feeling is exactly like how these guys were in this story. I do feel old now! ;P
The featured food in this story is a traditional Chinese breakfast crepe (Jian Bing)... that looks something like a burrito. The inside is actually yau char kwai (Fried dough food) wrapped with the crepe. It looks delicious, wish I can try it someday! There is a cute drawing of the recipe at the end of the episode where you can make it if you want!
