For 50 years, OhPohChok has been more than a restaurant. It has been Bibik Geok Neo’s life, legacy, and love. But when the future of the family business falls into the hands of her granddaughter Jessica, tradition, ambition, and long-held truths begin to collide.

Synopsis
Set in modern-day Singapore, the story revolves around the Tan family and their 50-year-old Peranakan restaurant, OhPohChok. As matriarch Bibik Gan Geok Neo enters the final chapter of her life, she hopes her only granddaughter, Jessica, will leave her career as a lawyer to take over the family business.
Jessica, however, has other plans. Encouraged by her boyfriend Joseph to franchise the restaurant instead, she finds herself caught between preserving her family's heritage and forging her own path. Will Jessica honour her grandmother's final wish, or will OhPohChok's legacy come to an end? Can tradition and modern ambition find common ground before time runs out?
