Featured food: Smiley Octopus shaped sausages :D
We're back at the diner series again! This is the continuation of Xiao Long's story, if you remember he loves to order those octopus shaped sausages... :D Now we will get to know the backstory of his relationship to Inspector Li and those sausages...
One day, Inspector Li came to the midnight diner looking for Xiao Long, or Ah Long as he is fondly known as. He wanted Ah Long to visit someone in the hospital but Ah Long refuses to agree to his request. This person in the hospital is actually Ah Long's ex-girlfriend, named Mu Mei.
Inspector Li, Ah Long and Mu Mei were best friends back in university. Ah Long was a basketball star in their university team. They used to hang out together all the time. Ah Long and Mu Mei were dating and she would always make those octopus shaped sausages for him. Haha! Now we know why... ;D
It was nearing the finals and Ah Long had a big basketball match ahead. He was practising one night when a bunch of youngsters approached him and Mu Mei. Ah Long had seen this group earlier in the day but didn't pay much attention to them. They started to beat Ah Long up and he told Mu Mei to run. But then those guys decided to chase Mu Mei and wanted to rape her... Omo!! So scary I was screaming... Ah Long did his best to protect her and he pushed her over the fence to safety. With his last strength he beat up two of the guys real bad... I think one was unconscious for six months. :O !!
Because of that incident, Ah Long had to drop out of university and his career in basketball was all gone. He had to go to jail for about 1 year (I think, can't remember) and when he came out he did not contact Inspector Li or Mu Mei at all.
Oh so sad story! :'( Poor Ah Long... I don't blame him, if I were him I would also not want to meet Inspector Li or Mu Mei at all... Fast forward to present time, Ah Long is moving up in "the company". Yes, if you remember he works for a big boss looking after the docks. Now that big boss is handing over the empire to Ah Long. Ah Long refuses the offer but the big boss's words are final. Wow... so gangster style! :D
After some final persuasion from Inspector Li and I think it was the diner boss that told him to visit Mu Mei so that he will not have any regrets. Mu Mei is terminally ill and she has very little time left to live...about two weeks or something... :O Ah Long visits her at the hospital... Haha, I am like woww this guy is too cool... Everywhere he goes he has those dark sunglasses on like Matrix style... :D
Mu Mei was so happy to see him. She had been looking for him for many years but no luck in finding him. She married someone else instead and has a son. Inspector Li and Ah Long takes her to the midnight diner to hang out together just like old times for one last time... I think this is the first time I've seen Ah Long smile in the drama! Hahah!!
Mu Mei passed away not long after. The story ends with Ah Long and the octopus shaped sausages at the diner. But this time those octopuses are smiling! Hahah!! So creepy if you ask me! It was Mu Mei who told the diner boss to prepare it for Ah Long. She had promised him way back in the university days that she will make smiley ones for him. Ah Long stares at the plate and breaks down in tears... Oh my heart broke too!! Ah Long!! :'(
Ohh what a sad backstory! Ah Long had gone through so much... No wonder he hardly smiles and always have that emotionless expression... But deep down inside he still loves Mu Mei so much... Aww...
This episode shows the preparation of those sausages. There was a part where Ah Long's right hand man, Ah Xian orders some instant noodles from the diner. The diner boss prepared it so nicely! I feel like ordering one too... :D
