Hello.
Hey. Big Uncle, are you close?
Grown ups that are late sets a bad example, you know that?
I'm close.
That's good then. The words of a businessman needs to be kept.
Otherwise, they aren't able to do business for very long.

Sanmin Taekwondo is on the second floor, isn't it?
Yeah.
This is cheese flavor. I love this flavor.

Little Xiao Bin, I told you to call the purchaser. Have you done that yet?
I've done it! Also, I'm your older brother. Don't directly call me by my name.
At the time when you surpass me, I then call you Older Brother.
I can call you by that also when you're taller.
But you have to let me eat that so I can grow tall.
- Forward kick. One...- Don't you like eating a little too much?
Eating is a must.
Look, foodies are all successful. Jay Chou loves eating malt.
Harlem loves eating egg fried rice.
Chang Chen Yue has the most awesome one!
He said he longs for a type of pastry
that even made me want to try it!
Ha!
Switch!
Do you guys want biscuits?
I want!
I want, I want.
Good younger brother. Older brother will share with you, okay?
In Taekwondo, I'm not your younger brother. I am Team Leader.
You're at the fourth year yet you still haven't obtained a white belt.
You aren't even like the newbies diligently practicing the fundamentals.
Please! We have to listen to Teacher Ah Wei's legendary story before practicing the fundamentals.
Hey, do you want to listen to Teacher Ah Wei's legendary story?
Yes!
Oh okay then. Let me tell you
Teacher Ah Wei, don't see him as he is now.
Back then, he was actually well-known gang leader!
So Teacher Ah Wei was that strong!
You newbies don't understand.
He wasn't just strong. He was explosively strong!
Hello everyone. I am the boss of Wu Lang store.
Big Uncle, I'm the one who asked you to come here.
Why do you have Teacher Ah Wei's golden chicken fern in your hands?
Ah Wei. Golden Chicken Fern. It's not that coincidental is it?
Big Uncle must have picked it up. Thank you, Big Uncle.
You are that cheese flavor, aren't you?
Big Uncle, where did you pick it up from?
Out on the footpath.
I feel it accidentally threw itself out.
Are you sure it's not because someone was intentionally trying to smash it?
I didn't mean it. I was only trying to put it out to bask in the sun.
I'm representing Teacher Ah Wei and I will have you do 100 kicks.
I'm your older brother.
Even though I'm in the wrong, but it really was an accident.
If you continue being like this, I will tell Teacher Ah Wei.
Fine. I'll kick if you say kick, then.
- You even have lollipops!- Hey,
That Teacher Ah Wei that you were referring to just now, who is he?
Teacher Ah Wei is our Taekwondo teacher.
He's very kind as well as has a sense of justice.
The majority of the kids here originally were mischievous and enjoyed bullying others.
Do I just have to kick 100 times?
That's right.
With this sort of smile, this little rascal is up to mischief.
30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35,
36, 37, 38, 39, 40.
You told me to kick up to 100, but you didn't tell me to do it by myself.
- After class, I'm shouting everyone pasta.- Okay!
41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46,
When Teacher Ah Wei saw one on the streets, he would snatch them up
and bring them here for a Taekwondo boot camp to transform them.
Me and my brother aren't those mischievous ones, though. I like Taekwondo
and my brother likes the gangster legend of Teacher Ah Wei.
The reason we asked you to come here this time was to help buy a birthday gift for Teacher Ah Wei.
What sort of a gift do you want to help Teacher Ah Wei get?
Teacher Ah Wei's clothes are shabby and worn out.
We want to help him buy a new one.
But we also want to buy one that's exactly the same as what he already has.
Excuse me. Let me through. Excuse me.
On the net, there's all sorts of brands.
This month I ate less to save up some money. In buying every brand there is,
we'll definitely be able to get one Teacher Ah Wei will like.
There is no need to waste money to bring in Big Uncle to do this for us.
Teacher Ah Wei!
Big Uncle, I'll let you take a look at the uniform.
This uniform is probably custom-made.
If we went online and randomly bought one, then there isn't any thought in it at all.
Big Uncle, are you able to find something like this?
There's no way he can find one exactly like it.
Can I have a look at it?
Sure.
This uniform isn't rare. However, Ah Wei, is it you?
This worn out uniform, it seems like it's my sewing.
So it is you, my old friend.
[ 1983, Tainan ]- Pasta!- Rules: we'll have a competition on who gets there first. Loser shouts.
Hey! Wait for me!
Hurry up!
Be careful!
Let's go!
I want to leave.
Are you wanting to go to Taipei again? Okay. I'll go with you.
But this time can we not go by bicycle?
This time, we must make it to watch the baseball match before returning.
I don't plan on returning.
I've had enough of this kind of life where I'm endlessly fighting.
Then what about your mom?
What about our gang? Are you not going to care about that either?
My mother acting as everyone's elder sister, it's better than being a mother to me.
She doesn't need me. I also don't need her.
Then what about me?
Are you coming with me?
If my old man does something to your mother and I'm not here, who will look after her?
Also, what about my mom? She needs me to help her with her pasta stand.
Alright. Then take cake of your family and yourself.
I know that.
I'm worried about you.
Are you able to take care of yourself?
Provided you're able to prove it for me see right now.
What proof?
As long as you win me, prove that you're stronger than I am,
anyone who wants to block you from going in the future must pass this golden chicken fern, Ah Wei.
A man must do what he says he will do.
Your mom's arrived. She probably doesn't want to let you go.
I have to go.
Golden right arm Huang Ping Yang!
Suppose our Chen Yi Xin wins, will you obediently come back with me?
Leaving home is too tiring. You can't even go on three meals.
What? You're not game enough to go through with the bet right?
Of course not.
Okay. If you win today
and you don't want to take over as the head of the family, I'll do it in your place.

In the future, If there isn't the golden chicken fern dog to take care of you, don't hurt yourself. Do you hear me?
Golden chicken fern, this kind of thing, it'll still grow if knocked down particular badly.
It doesn't matter where it is, it'll survive well.
Get out of here!
Ah Wei
Looking at the photos, Ah Wei lived happily.
That's great.
Big Uncle, did you manage to find it?
If he did manage to find it, I'll give the charm in my hands to him.
Fuqian Road, West Central District, Tainan City...
The Taekwondo uniform was made by a family at a shop in Tainan.
This is the address and phone number.
You can have your boss to contact them.
Thank you.
Thank you, Big Uncle!
You're welcome. This time, I didn't help out with much,
so I won't be charging.
Let's go. We'll go and practise fighting.
Big Uncle,
this is my charm. I'm giving it to you.
It doesn't taste good, though.
Don't think I can only eat.
This precious thing, keep it for yourself.
Teacher Ah Wei said that a man's word must be as good as his bond.
Don't look down on this charm. Dad sought out this amulet from Zhao Ling temple.
You only need to wish for something, whatever it is, it'll come true.
This precious thing, store it away for yourself. I appreciate your offer, though.
I said that a man's word must be as good as his bond.
I'm giving it to you.
Okay then. I'll accept. Thank you.
See you later.
Ah Wei, as long as I know you're well, I'm happy.
Sorry! Sorry! I only brought it out to get some air, to allow it to take in some fresh air.
Sanmin Taekwondo School
Sorry! I swear I didn't do it on purpose.
It's probably because Little Wu Lang can't bear to part with you and wanted to see you one last time.
- Little Wu Lang?- Shh!
You can't tell Mini Bin. Only I know it's called Little Wu Lang.
Teacher Ah Wen said it's the same as me. We're both little snacks.
That's why he allowed me to be friends with it.
Little Wu Lang?
To my surprise, Ah Wei named this golden chicken fern and selected such a name.
I really want to ask him face-to-face: how do I and this golden chicken fern look alike?
He was clearly well.
What's more...
How about this: I treat you to real Tainan pasta to apologize?
No need. Thank you.
Quickly go back upstairs.
You'll regret not eating it.
The most authentic Tainan pasta.
What a child feels is an authentic taste is probably a simple deliciousness.
The pasta that Teacher Ah Wen makes is super awesome!
Missing out on it means you have no luck with delicious food. Right, Little Wu Lang?
Speaking of eating, it makes me hungry.
Originally, I hadn't decided on what I wanted to have for dinner.
With just a mention from him, it turned into a suggestion. I particularly want to eat pasta.
The more I want it, the more I feel I can't go past not eating pasta.
But is there a pasta shop over here?
- Meat dumpling pasta is done!- Okay!
Here you are. Your dry noodles in sauce.
Tainan pasta? Do they really have that?
It looks like the fortune of my lifetime is all used up in eating.
Hello. What would you like to eat?
- One bowl of dry pasta and a bowl of dumpling soup.- Sure.
What side dishes do you have?
We have shrimp meat rolls, smoked shark, sailfish cake and soy sauce egg.
I'll have some shrimp meat rolls then.
No problem. Please wait.
Choosing dishes for one person is this simple.
Eating half a bowl is just right.
One bowl of noodles shared between two.
Yes. Two people eating together has its benefits.
Let me tell you, recently entering into the Taekwondo competition, I have to start losing weight.
You're losing weight and yet you're eating noodles. Just drink soup. Don't waste the nation's food supply.
What? One bowl isn't enough for me and you're asking me to drink soup?
Even though I say I have to lose weight, but I feel I'm short half a bowl.
If I ate half a bowl more, it'll be just right.
Boss, one more bowl of pasta.
Alright! Coming right up!
Here you are. Enjoy, enjoy.
Thanks!
Thank you, Boss!
- What?- What? I ordered it.
Alright, alright. Rules: half each.
Half each.
If I could order half a bowl, I wouldn't go halves with you.
Alright. In the future, I'll open a half-bowl shop
to cater to an obnoxious customer like you.
Don't worry about that! You, who is so dignified,
opening a pasta shop? How are you able to do that?
Me, on the other hand, in case my old man dies, I can take over my mum's pasta shop.
But in terms of luck, my old man is extremely fortunate and blessed.
Your dream will come true very fast if you're wanting to eat Ah Wei's pasta.
Pasta, dumpling soup, shrimp meat rolls.
Please enjoy.
- Boss.- Yes.
How can I help?
Nothing.
Then please enjoy.
- Oh, Boss!- Yes.
If, and I am only saying 'if', if this bowl isn't enough,
am I able to get half a bowl more?
If calculating the cost is a bit difficult, you can charge me for a full bowl.
As long as you give me half a bowl's amount, I'm fine. I just don't want to waste.
This place has a menu for catering half a bowl.
If you want half a bowl more, there's no problems at all.
Really?! You really have this half-a-bowl-of-pasta-type catering?
Yes. My husband said that eating half a bowl of pasta is just right.
If there are two people eating, they can ask for one bowl and share.
But what will someone do if they eat by themselves?
And that's why we especially came up with a menu of half a bowl of pasta for single diners.
It's a special.
I never thought that there would actually be a pasta shop that caters to such obnoxious customers like us two.
The boss really is well-disposed to people's wishes.
I once had a friend who had said having half a bowl is just right.
When we ate noodles together, we always ask for three bowls
which we would split between the two of us to eat.
After coming to Taipei, I've never again had one and a half bowls of pasta.
I never expected I'd be able to eat it like that here.
Please enjoy, okay?
Thank you. Thank you.
Table five would like half a bowl of pasta.
Sure!
Eating pasta needs to be accompanied with a sound of eating it in big mouthfuls.
Only then can it be called eating pasta.
And then there's the good friend of the pasta, QQ shrimp rolls (QQ means wonderfully chewy).
It brings out the aroma of the pasta.
Very delicious, very delicious.
Not one drop of water is added in the process of making the pasta.
Eggs are used to replace the water portion entirely.
So pairing the pasta with wonton soup is simply the perfect match.
Eating like this, it feels like I can hear the
"Yi-Yi" sound that comes out when it's being rolled out at the shop.[Tainan Pasta (Tainan Yi Mian) is one of Taiwan's most common staples. Biggest difference isn't the thickness. No water is added. Eggs are used.]
Pasta has this kind of strength.[Kneading the pasta requires strength. That's why chefs will exert an "yi-yi-yi" sound, hence its name. The Taiwanese pasta owner makes three flavors: original (sesame paste), vegetable, and burdock root.]
One mouthful of soup, one mouthful of noodles. It really is so refreshing.[Pasta is also separated into two kinds: dry pasta and pasta soup.]
I've found the complete Tainan experience.
Here you are. Half a bowl of pasta.
Thank you!
This is my special.
I'm eating half a bowl of pasta by myself.
When eating alone, with no one to talk to, one naturally pick up speed in eating.
That's why they always say that when one is eating alone, it's easy to become fat.
Am I automatically slowing down?
Who cares if he's fat or not fat. Eating happily is what's most important.
Plates cleared!
Lastly, I will be taking care of you, wonton soup!
Dried pasta paired up with soup is most suitable: light and delicate.
It even bring out the aroma of the pasta.
I've cleared and emptied them.
Boss, the bill, please.
Sure. Wait a moment.
May your wish come true?
Ah Wei, what experiences have you gone through these years?
Why have you gone all the way here teaching Taekwondo?
But as long as you are getting by well presently, it's all good.
It's better that we miss each other than meet each other, right?
One bowl and a half of pasta is NT$60, dumpling soup is NT$35 and shrimp meat rolls is NT$60.
In total, it's NT$155.
Thank you. Please wait a bit. I'll go find some change.
Thank you.
Ah Wei, just now there was a customer. He seems like that good friend you often talk to me about.
Teacher!
You have to shout us pasta!
Yeah!
Okay, alright. Let's go eat pasta.
Let's go!
Okay, okay.
- Thank you.- You're welcome.
It's, 'May your wish come true', isn't it?
It's also considering what to eat tomorrow, isn't it?
♫ Perhaps you feel my life is a little lonely ♫
♫ But I have someone I call my good friend ♫

♫ Watching the crowd go to and fro, I'm a little curious of their story, ♫
♫ As I'm alone in the corner of the store, slowly tasting delicious food ♫

♫ Happy and sad, near and far, possessing is gaining ♫
♫ You and me, a song, unable to chew it without regret ♫
♫ Regarding an individual's love, it's worthy when effort and heart has been put into it ♫
♫ Travelling through streets and alleys, sampling all the great flavors ♫

♫ No little sister to keep company is no big deal ♫
♫ Looking for the next stand. Bandits... ♫
