After viewing a film, the Touzai trio visits the Lei Yue Mun fishmarket, where Tomii buys crabs from refugee children and Yamaoka requests nuoc mam sauce. The subsequent culinary competition features swallow's nest and shark fin soup, resulting in a draw. For the final round, Yamaoka utilizes Ara fish eyes and lips with the provided sauce, impressing yacht club members and forcing Yō to concede. Yō remarks that Japanese competitors should not have been allowed. Meanwhile, Fuyumoto apologizes to Mr. En for prior rudeness. Back in Tokyo, office ladies remain unimpressed by Tomii and Yamaoka's attempts to reenact movie kung-fu fights.
