In the millennium year, laid-off worker Sharon sets up a steamer stall on the street corner with her exceptional steamed bun making skills, only to face disdain from her mother-in-law, opposition from her husband, with everyone waiting to see her fail. Facing harassment from neighbors, competition from fellow vendors, and cold stares from her family, she still wakes up before dawn to run her business diligently, guarding her livelihood with a ledger. From a small stall no one believed in to a thriving restaurant, Sharon builds a successful career with her own hands, breaks through prejudice, and steams out a wonderful life of her own amid the bustling street food atmosphere.
