Night Market Hero

Chen Yi-hua, known to his friends as Ah Hua, narrowly wins the 888
Night Market union leader election despite the dirty tricks of rival
Tsai Hung-kuei. But the stall holders of the night market are anything
but united, competing for customers in a war that pits the tastiness
of juicy steaks against the flavor of jumbo chicken fillets. Ah Hua
falls for reporter Yi-nan, setting her up to win the night market's
beauty contest that she has only come to photograph. In shock, she
unwittingly disrupts the market's power supply and must serve her
community service at the market, helping out at different stalls. When
she's dumped by her boyfriend Chris, she begins to recognise Ah
Hua's qualities. Meanwhile, property developers are planning a
fifteen-storey building atop the market with shopping malls, gyms and
a hotel, and are paying off local councillor Chang Chin-liang with a
multi-million dollar bribe. When gangsters trash the market, Ah Hua
decides to unite the stallholders to fight for their livelihoods while
Yi-nan employs the power of the media.
