there is a taste

The plot is rather reversed, and I can't think of the end when I think of the beginning.
After the death of his wife, the celebrity chef father took on the responsibility of raising three daughters with different personalities. The boss is an introverted older woman. A strong woman with a beautiful, smart and capable second child plans to leave the house she bought herself. The third is well-behaved and simple. As the film progressed, every dinner was full of surprises. The third child announced that he was pregnant out of wedlock, and the eldest announced that he was married to her boyfriend. Before the father and the second child came to their senses, he jumped on his boyfriend's motorcycle and ran away. And go. The second daughter, who most wanted to move out, stayed in the old residence alone. The most surprising thing is that the father and his daughter Jinrong are together.
The film is very smooth, with deep and delicate feelings. At the beginning, the father made a series of cooking skills in the kitchen very well. In fact, among the last three daughters, the second daughter is the one who knows her father the most. The film also showed the style of Taiwan at that time.

Eat Drink Man Woman quotes

  • Old Wen: Old Chu, do'nt get upset. Girls eventually leave home. It was bound to happen.

    Chu: I'm not upset. I hope they all move out, so I can have a quiet life.

    Old Wen: Quiet life? I know you. What you want, you can't get. What you don't want, you can't get rid of. You're as repressed as a turtle. That old maid of yours, Jia-Jen, will stick to you for life unless you marry her off!

    Chu: Marry who? Since she lost her asshole college boyfriend she's never looked at another man. You know that.

    Old Wen: And now she has the perfect boyfriend: Jesus Christ.

    Chu: Don't make fun of her religion! How is it that for 30 years I have put up this kind of talk from you?

    Old Wen: The truth is, you should be thankful someone's around to tell the truth.

  • Chu: I don't understand any of them, and I don't want to know. Let them grow up and leave. It's like cooking. Your appetite's gone when the dish is done.

    Old Wen: That's not the worst thing. At least people like your cooking.

    Chu: Honestly, Id' have to give that up if it hadn't been for you lately. My sense of taste is getting worse and worse. My food is only as good as the expression on your face.

    Old Wen: Don't be silly. You rely on your feelings when you cook, not your taste buds. Like that Western deaf composer, called Bee...

    Chu: Beethoven.

    Old Wen: That's right, Beethoven. Good sound is not in the ear, good taste is not in the mouth...and good sex...

    [laughs]

    Old Wen: God knows where!

    Chu: You're drunk!
