Née à New York, Rachel Chu n'est jamais allée en Asie. En accompagnant son fiancé Nick Young au mariage de son meilleur ami à Singapour, Rachel est donc enchantée de découvrir le continent de ses ancêtres…même si elle redoute un peu de rencontrer la famille de son fiancé. Il faut dire que Nick a omis quelques détails d'importance. Car il est non seulement l'héritier d'une des familles les plus riches du pays, mais aussi l'un de ses célibataires les plus recherchés. Rachel devient alors la cible de toutes les jeunes femmes de la bonne société singapourienne en mal de maris et, pire encore, de sa future belle-mère. Si l'amour ne s'achète pas, l'argent rend les situations parfois bien complexes…

Helmed by three female directors, this omnibus features three films set in China, Thailand and Singapore respectively. Each story occurs at a specific mealtime, and seeks to interpret the frailties and complexities of love through different Asian perspectives. All three stories are tethered with the question, "Will you marry me?" Mirroring the repasts themselves, Breakfast and Dinner are heavier in tone, while Lunch is light with a sprinkle of humor.
