Plot Synopsis
No woman can possibly resist the token of rejuvenation – flip over its dreamy blissful side and you will find an expansive nightmare of endless pursuit. But Qing (Miriam Yeung) can afford it all. An ex-starlet turned wife of a prominent rich man, Qing is destined to have this dream come true.
Qing uses a lot of muscle before she can get to the mysterious chef Mei (Bai Ling) to provide her specialty dumplings. Qing is no gourmet but simply dying to resume her youth and beauty when her lifetime career as a housewife of the filthy rich is at stake. And Mei’s dumplings claim to deliver just that. Mei, a former gynecologist, has developed a secret recipe for rejuvenation which has allowed her to bid farewell to her career as an abortionist. Now Mei only serves desperate rich women like Qing. Mei understands a woman’s needs and with her mysterious dumplings she can fulfill a woman’s desires.
