食神 The God of Cookery 1996

Stephen Chow is a corrupt celebrity chef who runs a successful business empire. Dubbed the "God of Cookery", he humiliates other chefs in a culinary competition where he appears as a judge, despite knowing very little about cooking himself.

Bull Tong, posing as an understudy and conspiring with Chow's business partner, exposes Chow as a fraud and is declared the new "God of Cookery", taking over Chow's empire. Ruined, Chow arrives in Temple Street where he orders a bowl of "assorted noodles" from disfigured food cart vendor Turkey, reveals himself to be the fallen "God of Cookery" and asks her for money. Thugs beat him for his panhandling, but Turkey orders them away, taking pity on Chow and giving him a bowl of barbecue pork on rice, moving Chow to tears.
