Sarah has always been in the shadow of her mother, Celebrity Chef Siti. When she tries to make her mark in the baking industry, she is unexpectedly caught between two men yearning for her affections. Imran is the perfect gentleman any Malay-Muslim parents would approve for their daughter, while Edwin is an earnest Chinese vlogger who, as Sarah's brother blatantly declares, isn't 'halal'. To complicate matters, Edwin comes from a Taoist family that runs a popular roast pork hawker stall. And being the filial son, he is expected to marry a Chinese girl and take over the family business. Will Sarah be able to navigate through their differences? Or will she succumb to family and societal expectations?
