Everything around him is blown away by the force.  Holding his weapon over the face of a fallen thug, the stranger asks for the location of Yosen Restaurant.

Cut to Yosen Restaurant where Mao and company are hard at work - Mei Li working hard as a waitress, Shilou as an errand-boy, and Mao as the head chef.  Shilou was inundated with work, and thought to himself that he is being treated as a slave rather than an apprentice cook.

Mao continues working through Shilou's antics, and Mei Li thinks to herself how quickly Mao grew as a cook.  Chef Lou and Chouyu have entrusted to Mao the keys of the restaurant while they attend a Chef Alliance meeting, making Mao the de facto Chief Cook in their absence for two weeks.  He is obligated to protect the tradition and honor locked in the key entrusted to him.

After a long day, the last customers finally walked out.  Shilou is stuck with the dishes while Mei Li goes to close the restaurant.  While she attempts to lock up, the stranger walks right inside.  Mei Li tells him that they have already closed, and suggests that he return the next day.

The stranger lays a guilt trip on Mei Li, telling her that he had come a long way, and that this was not the way to treat a customer.  He then glares at her menacingly.  Shilou was working in the kitchen when Mei Li asked Mao for a vegetable stir-fry dish.  Shilou remembered that Mao went out to buy some spices, and decides to cook for the customer.

He finishes the dish, sets it on a table for Mei Li to find, and pats himself on the back for his resourcefulness.  Shilou is eating his stir fry when Mao comes in.  He tells Mao to try it and asks for comments.  Mao didn't look very enthusiastic about the dish, and tells him not to forget the most important step in cooking vegetable stir-fry.  They are interrupted by the stranger's loud shouts.

The stranger gets angry and asked for the cook of the soggy stir-fry, which was cooked without dipping it first in oil.  He questions the ability of the Yosen Restaurant chefs, and demands to talk to the idiot who prepared the pathetic dish.  Shilou is beside himself with fear, and imagines being knocked out by the heavy bundle the stranger is carrying.
      

Inside the kitchen, Mao remembers his responsibility and starts cooking in earnest.  First, he breaks open eggs with amazing technique, then he chops up a black substance.  Then he cuts something open, stuffs the mixture in dough, increases the fire, and steams the dish.

Outside the kitchen, Shilou and Mei Li anxiously await Mao's dish.  They speculate on which eggs Mao would use.  The most common eggs are chicken eggs, duck eggs, and quail eggs, but if you mix them, the individual flavors disappear rather quickly.

Mao is finally finished and brings out the dish.  To everyone's surprise, his three-egg dish turns out to be siomai!  The man is amused, and tells Mao that he is very strict about siomai.  From merely looking at the dish, the man is able to tell that Mao used chicken egg for the flour shell, and minced duck eggs as decoration for the top.

Shilou asks Mao how did he make the duck eggs black.  Mao replies that by mixing duck eggs with certain fermenting ingredients, the egg white turn black, and the egg yolk becomes greenish black.  The man tells them that he cannot determine the third egg unless he tastes it, so he takes a bite.

Inside the man's mouth, he is beset with a countless number of eggs that burst in his mouth.  He feels a sensation of unknown life in the ocean, created by the unification of tastes into one in Mao's dish.  He congratulates Mao for his skill, mixing the sweetness of the chicken eggs with the mild saltiness of the duck eggs.  But even that is a prelude for the third egg that energizes the dish.  The man cuts a siomai in half and sees orange eggs enclosed by the meat.  He realizes that the third egg Mao used were ... crab eggs!

Mao agree and tells the man that he uses the eggs of the Shanghai crab, which happens to be in season.  The man eats the dish with a satisfied look on his face, and marveled that Mao only required only half of the allotted time to invent such a dish.  He is finally convinced that Yosen Restaurant is the best in Guangzhou since a genius like Mao works there. and introduces himself as Shell.  He hails from Shanxi Province, and is the self-proclaimed greatest dim sum chef in China.

Shell launches into his cyclone maneuver and blows everyone but Mao away.  The strip of cloth covering Mao's Super Chef emblem came off, and Shell immediately challenges Mao to a cooking contest "Mao can't refuse."
